This line separates the Lille region from Dunkerque. | _In this Zone, Allied troops, mostly British, fought off repeated Ger- man attacks on both the southwest and northeast areas.

Such communique phrases as “struggle of exceptional tensity” and “at the cost of the hardest fighting” were used to de- scribe actions which it is taken for | granted are costing many lives. | Last night's French high com- mand communique said that the “French and British fighting in the with a heroism worthy of their | traditions a struggle of exceptional intensity.” {Fall Hurts Worker | A 20-year-old construction worker received back injuries yesterday when | he fell 12 feet from a plank on which | he was working in a building at First and P streets S.W., police re- ported.

He credited the removal to Mr. Regan and Representative Randolph, chair- man of the House District Commit- tee, and added that the association now seeks to have the Government buy the property for a park. The Conduit Road group was en- tertained by a lecture and slides prepared by the National Capital Parks on the restoration of the old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Sutton Jett, historical foreman of the Na- tional Capital Parks, was the speak- er, announcing during the evening that the first chain, from Seneca to Great Falls, had been completed yes- terday and that water now was en- tering the historic canal.
