without having area a German, watching
cloaely for hotra at a time the opposing

It would be untrue to one's own to un
derrate the enemy. From behind the

The Times correspondent from north

Dunkirk at I t) Thursday afternoon, al
most at the name moment that three Oer
man aeroplanes were seen hovering over

adds, "continued for ninety mlnutea. In
habitants hid in th cellar or fled the
town. Th military authorities of Dun
kirk were powerless to reply to the ene
my's big guns, the whereabouts of which
waa unknown, but they opend a furious
fire on the aeroplanes and drove them
off. On Friday morning all was quiet
and th bombardment had not been re
