pared to meet the challenge. "We shall give blow for blow. "Italy, like Germany, will feel the
blockade." Attlee said there was no further
information available on loss of the aircraft carrier Glorious, two destroyers and a-tanker and-transport, announced yesterday.
j Violent Demonstrations i A series of violent demonstrations in which Britons ^expressed their resentment at Italy's entrance into the European conflict set the stage today for a statement on the general war situation.
Mingled with outward evidences of anger at Italy were expressions of approval for President Roosevelt's speech last night in which he pledged the material resources of the United States to the aid of the Allies.
The press gave almost as much attention to the President's speech as to Italy's declaration of war, and official sources applauded his words as encouraging the Allies to "fight with greater confidence."
In London, Liverpool, Edinburgh and other population centers, angry crowds participated last night in wild riots, hurling bricks and bottles through Italian store fronts before they could be checked by pp-llce. About 100 arrests were made In Edinburgh.
The riots broke out as Scotland Yard began a roundup of Italian residents regarded as potential fifth columnists. Raids on Italian Fascist clubs in London were executed during the night, and hundreds of suspects were whisked away for internment.
Officials estimated that about 25,-000 Italians live in the United Kingdom, of whom 19,000 are registered as aliens. The rest are either naturalized British subjects or are under 16 years of age.
The nation responded to the Italian challenge by renewing its war efforts on land, sea and in the air.
Navy' Gets 10,000 Planes WASHINGTON, June 11.—UP)— The House completed Congressional
action today on bills permitting the Navy to have a total of 10,000 planes and 16,000 pilots and to build 22 new combat vessels.
Both pieces of legislation now go to the White House for President Roosevelt's signature.

strike a scythe blow at Paris from the west, checked Nazi attempts to advance beyond the Seine River, the high command said.
Last night it reported the Germans had crossed the Seine at several points, but today's announcement indicated the invaders had been unable to push farther in this bold attempt to swing around the capital and take It -from the rear.
As the day dawned, Paris was f covered by a strange acrid smoke
that obscured the sun and hung over the city like a pall. It first began to appear early last night Some reports said it was from fires In the outskirts.
German tanks, operating alone, were reported to have reached the environs of Paris already, 'although the main front was no nearer than 35 or 40 miles.
Paris was but a shell as the government established headquarters in the provinces—"somewhere In France"—and other vital agencies packed up and left. As most ministers went to the south, Premier
Christian Science Board
Launches War Relief Fund The Christian Science Board of
Directors announces the opening of the Mother Church War Relief Fund for providing food and clothing to relieve human suffering In some of the countries which are at war. Committees have been appointed to administer this relief in Canada, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and in France. The Mother Church has registered under the United States Neutrality Act of 1939, which limits the purposes for which money may be collected in this country to be expended In countries which arc at war. This relief will be extended to other countries as the way opens.
Paul Raynaud left to join the French army, tht Ministry of Information said.
Civilians moved southward In streams.
The French high command reported that General Maxime Wey-gand's French armies had stemmed a tempestuous Nazi "scythe" attack aimed at seizing the French capital from the rear, while Italy still masked her plan of attack as a full military partner of Germany.
"On the Alps front our troops are in position and hav*- not been attacked," said the French communique.
Berlin has estimated that *,500,-000 French pollus are intrenched on France's southern front—along the low-lying maritime Alps—awaiting Italy's expected onslaught into the French Riviera.
At dawn the beleaguered French capital presented a weird, Dan-tesque appearance as acrid smoke from fires set by German incendiary bombs darkened the city like a pall.
Much of the population of 3,000,-000, including all but a shell of the government, had fled. Civilians moved southward in streams. The capital's broad boulevards were almost deserted, i
German tanks in bold, isolated raids were reported to have sliced through the French lines to the environs of Paris.
The Nazi high command reported that strong bodies. (f. Allied troops have been cut off and surrounded at several points and are facing destruction.
"Because of severe, bloody losses the great number of prisoners and the capture of all kinds of material the enemy's power of ^resistance is visibly waning," the official Nazi communique said.
With the great battle for Paris beginning its seventh critical day the German high command asserted that the right wing and center of the German armies "are relentlessly pursuing the defeated French j armies."
A German military spokesman declared that the French capital was being "immediately thieatened".
"No uniform French defense line any longer exists on the northern battlefront," the Nazi spokesman declared, but he gave no supporting details of fresh German gains.
In Rome authoritative sources said Mussolini's Fascists "undoubtedly were engaging the Allies" slnco
the zero hour haT been set for dawn.
London took renewed hope from President Roosevelt'c pledge of full "material help" from the United States and applauded Roosevelt's dramatic description of Italy's war declaration as a dagger plunge "in the back of its neighbor".
So strong was the President's language that sources close to the Administration said the United States obviously had abandoned neutrality for non-belligerency.
The French acknowledged that advanced German tanks had reached the environs of Paris, from which the government fled. However, the French claimed to have checked attempts of the powerful Nazi right flank, sweeping on Paris from the west, to advance beyond the Seine River.
Provisions of the United States Neutrality Act were applied to Italy.
Canada's ' Prime Minister, W. L. MacKenzie King, in presenting to the Canadian House of Commons a unanimously approved resolution declaring a state of war against Italy, called Premier Mussolini "a carrion bird, waiting for brave men to die."
Turkey was reported preparing to live up to her mutual assistance pact with Britain and France, although her next step was not made clear.

Jubilant over the success of the German drive toward Paris and Italy's entrance into the war, Nazi leaders boldly proclaimed that
! France's fate is sealed. Official circles, which described
the position of the French capital as "precarious," remained -silent about the war moves of Premier Mussolini, but it was generally expected he would strike a swift blow along France's southern frontier.
Authorized sources emphasized, however, that Italy would act in close cooperation with Germany, and it was asserted repeatedly that Nazis and Fascists would fight "shoulder to shoulder."
Military dispatches indicated that German troops, already less than 35 miles from Paris, gradually were closing a semi-circle of steel around the capital, and it was clear that
I the high command's plan was to follow up with the greatest energy the gains already made.
Spokesmen, said that the Nazi battleflags were moving forward on the entire front extending from the English channel to the Mcuse River.
They estimated that within five days the German drive has netted gains Ranging from 56 to 62 miles along .a front now %iven as 220 miles long.
German commentators insisted that the French position was becoming more precarious hourly, and that Mussolini's declaration of war had greatly increased the probability of a swift, sweeping victory.
"A Caesar has cast the dice," declared the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, commenting on Italy's entry Into the war. "It is an hour of great world and historic significance— with greater to follow."
German spokesmen readily associated themselves with Mussolini's conditional assurances that the neutrality of Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Egypt and Turkey would be respected.
The inference was plain that the conduct of these states would determine whether they would be swept into the conflict.
"These lands know that in the word of Mussolini lies the guaranty of their peace," said the authoritative commentary Dienst aus Deutschland.
"Their fate lies in their own hands, and it is expected in Berlin that they realize fully the significance of this fact," Dienst added. "On this point, also, the attitude of Germany fully coincides with the words of peace addressed to these lands by Mussolini himself." • Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goerlng's newspaper, National Zel-tung, observed that Italy already had performed a great war service in behalf of Germany, pointing out

dropped leaflets urging the French to end "futile resistance."
Concerning Britain, G e r m a n spokesmen said that the capitulation of Norway and the withdrawal of Allied troops had left the Nazis in undisputed possession of sea and air base* completely flanking Britain.
"England Is vulnerable from .the polar ice to the equator," said one newspaper editorial.
The official German news agency, DNB, carried a brief account of the address delivered last night by President Roosevelt, in which he was quoted as saying that American sympathies are with the Allies and that American materials will' be made available to them.
Dispatches available to German newspapers failed1 to mention the President's account of his offers to act as an intermediary between Italy and the Allies.
