Without warning German armed forces on Friday of last week made a sudden attack on these peaceful- loving countries. The clash be­ tween the various armies is said to surpass anything the human jbrain had ever conceived. From the air the Germans dropped troops by parachute on strategic positions. A despatch from Paris Monday stated that from 1,500 to 2,000 tanks had met in an epic clash. The fight last­ ed for hours over a wide front, the French being masters of the situa­ tion. British troops have been rushed to the scene of conflict. Dog fights in the air have been fierce and many planes have been destroy­ ed. England claims that 600 Ger­ man planes have been brought down, at a ratio of four to one. All Bel­ gians between the ages of 16 and 35 have been called to join the colors. The greater part of the Netherlands has laid down their arms to the German forces. The Dutch High Command decided that further re­ sistance was useless and moved to save the lives of the people and cities from destruction. In Belgium the invaders are meeting with stiff resistance. Ill in Hospital Mrs. Annie Bedford, who has been, confined to her bed for some time, was removed to Victoria Hospital in London Monday.
