The deaperation-intpirod counter-attack, it was re-
ported, will be launched in the vicinity of Rethel, 96
miles north of Paris, in an attempt to rescue the British
and French troops trapped
in the German's "squeeze"
pocket in Flanders.

They say It's always darkest
jusl before the dawn. I wonder.
'Ilie untaxing surrender or King
Itcopohl of tlie Belgian^ to the in-
vading Hermans, without warning
to his British and French col-
leagues, is a terrible though not
"iltul blow lo lite Allied cause.
its immediate effect is lo In-
crease immeasurably the gravity
of two of Hie most critical situa-
tions with which the Allies are
contending
1. It pluses the groat uriny of
British und Kr< itch I roops, wh'ch
the Gertnuns have largely sur-
rounded In Plunders, in imminent
danger of being crushed
Half u million or inore Allied
soldiers in this great sack tntty
have been condemned to death or
surrender. At the best tlley are
forced to fight for their lives a-
galtist frightful odds.
2. The King's surrender tincoV-
ors the flunk of the Allied army
on the coast, leaving open to cap-
ture the port of Dunkerque upon
which the beleaguered army of
•the north had been depending for
supplies!.
This hastens Hitler's program
for a blow at Knglund itself front
the channel coast.
Despite the gravity of the Kit -
nation, this is itol the end of
things for the Allies.
Premier Hey nil nd «mvimtrieed
Hint the Anglo-French army of
the north was continuing to flgllt.
Of course tltey would
He ulso suit! thai .ne Belgian
government. In opposition to the
King's orders, would continue to
function and would try to raise
alio III or ur my.
Whether Hie government suc-
ceeds, or whether it doesn't, mat-
ters little now in the military
sense, though the effort will give
a lift to the Allied morale.
As ,-i mutter of fact, had Leo-
pold not quit without warning In
the midst of a. crucial battle, the
Allies could have continued with-
out Belgian military support. The
Belgians have been fighting hero-
ically. but the Anglo-French for-
ces could have shouldered the
extra weight If the former had
been knocked out ul the start of
