A
Tuberculosis Work
In Capital Praised
Tuberculosis work in Washington
was praised last night by Holland
Hudson, director of rehabilitation of
the National Tuberculosis Associa
tion, at a meeting of the District
Tuberculosis Association at its head
quarters, 1022 Eleventh street N.W.
He said the number of cases in
Washington was not staggering.
Vocational training of a patient
costs between (200 and (500, Mr.
Holland said. Dr. J. Winthrop Pea
body, president of the Washington
branch, presided.
London
_(Continued From First Page.)
Flanders and Northern France, forc
ing either a surrender, a break
through against the German wedge
to the coast or destruction of the
entrapped troops.
Ghent lies about 80 miles east of
Calais.
Coupled with word that Boulogne
had fallen came a British Air Minis
try announcement that at least 20
German planes were shot down and
25 more damaged by far-flung
British aerial stabs yesterday at
both enemy communications along
the fighting front and dn Germany
itself.
The loss of eight British planes
and forced landings for four others
were acknowledged.
Defenses Strengthened.
Confronted by the German suc
cesses on the French Channel coast,
only 22 miles from the chalk cliffs
of England at the nearest point,
Britain strengthened coastal de
fenses against the zero hour of a
German crossing to smash at her
key ports.
She worked quickly while await
ing the outcome of the battle be
tween the allied and German armies
for mastery of the strategic Belgian
and French coastal positions.
The British felt certain the next
blow would fall directly upon Eng
land if the Nazi mechanized col
umns were able to drive home their
wedge between the allied forces and
thus consolidate footholds along the
coast.
With powerful British naval units
patrolling the Channel and strong
detachments of troops taKing up
positions in south coast towns ail
during the night, the first defense
activity of the day occurred in the
southeast this morning. There
anti-aircraft guns went into action
as German planes appeared over
the coast.
0
King to Broadcast.
At the same time King George VI
prepared to broadcast an Empire Day
measure of inspiration to his peoples
at 9 pm. t3 p.m., E. S. T.i.
This Empire Day—Queen Vic
toria's birthday—marked the gravest
crisis in the history of the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
In two weeks the flying German
columns had advanced 200 miles to
the French Channel port of Bou
logne, at England's doorstep. Bou
logne is 26 miles from Folkstone and
only 85 air miles from Londpn.
The London Times underscored
the gravity of Britain's position in
an editorial calling for the imme
diate appointment of a director of
defense to co-ordinate the home
tdrces in the event England becomes
a decisive battleground for the first
time since the year 1066.
To counter the threatened blitz
krieg invasion, whether it is launched
with parachute troops or with forces
rushed across the narrow Channel
in speedboats, England has formid
able home defenses.
British believed that the divisions
which have been training quietly
and have been deployed in strategic
centers could, with the help of the
home defense battalions made up
of ex-service men, the Dominion
troops already here and the newly
organized local defense volunteers,
destroy any force the Nazis would
be able to throw upon this island.

how the Royal Air Force Wednes
day night carried out its most dead
ly series of raids against Germany
since the start of the war.
They said British planes dropped1
100 bombs on the headquarters of
a German tank division; blew up an
ammunition train at the German
town of Geldem, near the Nether
lands frontier; shattered roads and
railway tracks along the supply
lines of the German offensive, and
ranged into the heart of Germany
as far as Leipzig, 300 miles frcm
Germany’s western border.
Losses Since April 0. *
British war losses since April 9
were two capital ships slightly dam
aged, one cruiser which struck an
uncharted rock and seven destroyers
and four submarines sunk, naval
sources said.
The capital shlpe apparently were
the battleship Rodney, 33,000 tons,
reported damaged by a bomb, and
the battlecruiser Renown, 32,000
tons, hit by shellfire off Norway.
The 9,550-ton cruiser Effingham
was reported lost after running onto
a rock off the Norwegian coast last
Monday.
German claims that 15 capital
ships, 3 aircraft carriers, 46 cruisers,
44 destroyers and 29 submarines
were sunk or damaged were scoffed
as “fantastic.’’
