British troops were sent to reinforce their Allies, and the enemy met with strong resistance.
The Germans also attacked on both sides of Valenciennes, and were repulsed with heavy losses in men and materials. On the Somme the French made further progress after a violent struggle. There were a number of engagements between the Aisne and the Meuse, and the French announced last night that artillery and automatic arms inflicted high casualties on the enemy. "In the course of the actions," it was stated, "we found whole platoons of German infantry mown down on the spot." It was authoritatively stated both in London and Paris last night that German claims to have captured Calais were without foundation. Dunkirk, Ostend and Zebrugge, as well as Calais.
were all said to be firmly held by Allied troops. M. REYNAUD IN LONDON M. Reynaud, the French Prime Minister, visited London yesterday to confer with Mr. Churchill and other members of the War Cabinet.

Joint Force CHESS The H-Bomb backfires By Malcolm Pein The sequence of draws between the favourites ended in the ninth round of the US championship at St. Louis. The 24-player contest split in round seven with the leading four separated into their own or all play all, to decide who wins the $35,000 top prize. Defending champion Hikaru Nakamura was demolished by former champion Yuri Shulman after denuding his king in search of a non-existent mate. Shulman finished in style with a back rank mate of his own that elegantly exploited the odd positioning of a white rook.
In the other game Alexander Onsichuk turned down Gata Kamsky's draw offer and went on to lose.

BRIDGE NEWS England beat the Republic of Ireland 179-168 in the annual friendly Corn Cairdis Trophy played over two days in Balbriggan, north of Dublin, writes Patrick Jourdain, Bridge Correspondent.
The countries field teams in three categories: Officials, County and Club. Each team plays its own counterpart twice and the other categories once each. The England club team, flying from Leeds- Bradford airport, was delayed to miss the first day, but substitutes were introduced. Over the 19 years of the event England I leads 13-6. The third seed in the Gold Cup, Britain's knockout championship, has been eliminated in a fourth round match.
The team led by Janet de Botton of London, which recently won the England Teams Championship for the Crockford's Cup, lost to the team led by Steve Green of Warwickshire. Green takes over the number three seed. Mrs de Botton herself had to withdraw from the match due to a family bereavement. The Republic of Ireland fields the same team as last year for the Senior Home Internationals this weekend in Glasgow. Northern Ireland has a team of five players.

Declarer went up with the ace, then tried luring West into rising with That allowed a club discard on for a fairly irrelevant overtrick. Sandqvist preferred 44, a reasonable shot if far from gilt-edged.
He also received the heartclub opening, but from this point we saw a marked deviation. Declarer realised that precise defence would counter an attack on diamonds. If the ace lay over there was no club discard, so we assume A is well placed. However, West needs to be circ*mspect. He ducks the first round, allowing to win.
Now South is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He calls for a trump in the hope of reaching hand for another diamond, now East is in the limelight. He rises with A to press on with clubs, dislodging the remaining honour before Kis established. So even when the cards are ideally placed, technically South cannot succeed. Anyone who is familiar with Sandqvist will realise that absence of flair is not one of his problems.
Can you see any other line? Remarkably, he advanced 10 and when West rather lazily refused to cover with the Knave, discarded a club from North! A finesse which is more outlandish than the Chinese. Maybe we should christen it a "Swedish From there, play returned to normal as A was removed, South won the next club, cashed 1Q to throw North's remaining club and claimed his contract.
