"Like Hell"
Spirits Very High as Battle Proceeds; New Danger to Germans With BEF. in France, May 22.
There is little light to be thrown on the multitude of fierce encounters occurring in various places. As these places are scattered over an area of about 1,000 square miles, near the frontier and some near the British zone, where one evacuated town was the scene of street fighting yesterday, it is still impossible to refer to "the front,"
In the words of an officer who is in a position to know, the British are "fighting everywhere like hell. Their spirit is apparently very high. Isaw a lorryload on its way to reinforce one area of the battle, filled with singing men. Air actions continue on the same scale, Again last night, I saw casualties in streets, inflicted by German bombers; no one can count on a night's nest now."-—Reuter.
