DUTCH RACE WINTER STORMS
• 9 LONDON, September 12. Using all available mechanised equipment, 2500 men are racing to close the Walcheren dykes, which the St.A.F. destroyed, before the November storms, says the "Daily Mail's" Brussels correspondent The four main breaks are already closed, but safety point will not be reached for six weeks.
Success means a possibility of 100 square miles of land drying l>y March enabling hundreds of farmers to return to their submerged homes The engineers, using ducks, landing-craft, and tanks, as well as bulldozers and excavators, will use Mulberry casemates towed from England for the final sealing.
