HIGHER THAN EVER

SPIRIT OF DEFENDERS MORE GERMANS LANDED BY AIR. SEA CONVOYS DISPERSED OR SUNK. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) RUGBY, May 22. A Cairo communique states: “Yesterday further waves of German parachuters and airborne troops continued to land at various points in Crete throughout the day. British and Nev? Zealand troops, assisted by Greeks and Cretans, all rendered a magnificent account of themselves. “Fighting with splendid courage our Empire forces, with their gallant Allies. delivered three successful counterattacks. Enemy losses yesterday were even heavier than before and by nightfall the situation was satisfactory in every area except Maleme, where' the enemy has secured a temporary footing. Operations to deal with this situation are now in progress. “Enemy landings by air are continuing. but as the result of determined action by the Royal Navy attempts by the Germans to support their airborne troops by landings from the sea have so far been unsuccessful, as their convoys have been dispersed or sunk. The spirit of the defenders of Crete is higher than ever.”
