DENMARK i?. <r\, - t rffa- ut 'rflvQ For a lont, time been prophesied that the ^azis A A would have plenty of troubles on their hands undertaking to suppress and Nazify the peoples of so many conquered countries. A couple of weeks ago we heard of sabotage against the Germans in Norway. The latest outbreak, surprisingly enough, is in Denmark. The row started yesterday. Several hundred Danish police Nazis were marching into a town in South Jutland. The R h I kx ^ tried to stop them. But there were only a few Danish cops on the job. However, they were reinforced by^anti-Nazis. And there was fighting until midnight last ni&ht. Three-hundred-and-fifty Nazis were arrested and thrown into^st^ ^ tv ^ ^ ft Today there was a huge^nultitudeje* thousands of Danes around that jail, Danes whose hatred of Nazis was unmistakable. They jeered those of their countrymen who supported the Gen.an enter faith. When a Danish Nazi leader tried to^M*±*j^the jail to talk £ to his pal the crowd booed him and sang Danish national songs. Hitler to make another speech -- to a group of armament workers tomorrow. And evidently he will use the occasion to make some important pronouncement. The Nazi official news agency reports that his tirade will be carried on all German radio stations. Anybody who wants to hear it in this country by short wave will have to get up early; around five in the morning. AKGYR3KASTR0N There was an impressive spectacle in Argyrokastron today, that Albanian mountain fortress which the Greeks captured L from the Italians. ArijIArchbishop^felebrated mass. J a solemn mass of thanksgiving. The Archbishop himself is a unZJUwt C l j picturesque figure^ His face is decorated by a huge black beard# Undj Archbishop Spiridion is known as the fighting prelate of Janina. An American correspondent describes the dramatic end of Italian resistance in Argyrokastron. A Fascist legion of death defended it to the last, fought until almost every man in the unit nad been shot down. After they had been attacked three times. the commanding officer of the Greeks urged tha% Italian Legion of Death to surrender, told them that the town & surrounded, no criance to escape. The Italians answered him with a salvo of A fire from the light artillery in'the fortress. After that they fought like mad men, though the Greeks entered the town from three sides. And another correspondent says that the entry into Argyrokastron would have been a feat of itself even without the ARGYROKASTRON - 2 deiense of that legion of death. The rain had been pouring in torrerts and washed away parts of the road, including important Dridges. But the Greek troops drove ahead regardless. Wuere the ^ridges were washed away they forded the river breast high. It is also reported that Italian soldiers who were taken prisoner told the Greeks that the Albanian port opposite Brindisi A crowded with wounded. Many of them lying on the docks waiting for hospital ships to take them back to Italy, lu addition to that, the docks are choked with munitions because the Greek and British bombers have completely disorganized Italian transport service. A dispatch from Jugoslaviathat Italian soldiers fleeing north along the coast from Porto Edda and Argyrokastron were ambushed by eight hundred Albanian rebels. Tnere's rebellion against the Italians throughout Albania and the Greeks are now advancing farther north that Mussolini 1«\ geing=tc: make a tour of inspection of the Italian front “ ITALY HereTs the official explanation of Mussolini1sc 3 hake-up A in the Italian high commandA special communication was put out in Rome today on the subject, and that of itself was rather unusual. Italy knew she had difficult moments in store when she entered the present war# goes the explanation. But then it adds:- "Those who A find in the changes of the high 'command Mi symptoms of lack of „Tt^eJb harmony and possible delays and catastrophes, are wrong.^ Taosm aeaple—ftre making the same mistake^=*iF=we» made during the Ethiopian campaign." So says'that official Italian explanation. Then it goes on that As for talk of delays, the changes ry - -- - J o . will have the contrary result^^^g^^-povll^EEj^ no lack of harmony in Italy1 s war machine*So they say. EGYPT For some time the Italians 'nave formidably outnumbered the British on the i'iorth African Front. For months Mussolini^ General Graziani has been encamped in a strong position at Sidi Barrani, some sixty miles east of the Italian frontier in Libya. For all those months a major engagement lias been expected almost any day, since it was known that not only did Graziani have a strong force but that they had been reinforced by German bombers and other mechanized equipment. Today it came.\ Cairo announces that advance British forces in the western desert had made contact with Italian troops over a broad front. !And the British high command added that there was an encounter south of Sidi Barrani when the British captured some hundreds of Italians, which implies fighting on quite a large scale. Later the report was corrected. Not hundreds taken prisoner — thousandec. Observers interpret this as significant since it comes so soon after the Italian defeats in Albania. They believe it was intended as an action to test the morale of the Fascist fighters in Africa. EGYPT - 2 A still later communique from the British Middle East high command reports that the commanding general of one Italian division was killed and that his second in command mom captured. R.A.F Many of the submarine raids on British convoys have started rrom the French harbor of Bordeaux. presented a new and serious K problem for the British Admiralty. Wot only Bordeaux but Brest and -iirJ2j3L&\VKj* Lorient^rer® submarine bases. So the Royal Air Force went out to tacitle that new phase of the blockade as they did the, A A invasion of Britain. So says the British Ministry of Information. While the Nazis were pouring a rain of eighty thousand bombs on London, the R.A.F. attacked Bordeaux and Brest. They started big fires in both French ports and at Lorient they touched off what were described as great blue-flash explosions. And the British also delivered a violent raid on Dusseldorf, center of Germany*s big industrial region. Three large fires and many small ones were observed. — & The Nazis claim that last night they had set off giant blazes in London which blended into one fiery sea. But the British declare it wasnft as bad as all that, though it was one of the most savage attacks of the war, a raid which lasted eight hours. Today, however, the weather fought on the side of the British and London had a T * NAVAL BATTLE A naval battle in the South Atlantic, that’s the rumor along the Eastern shores of South America. Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, it is reported definitely that two British warships, H.M.S. ENTERPRISE and H.M.S. WARSPITE have been combing South American waters for that Nazi raider which attacked the British auxiliary cruiser, the liner CARNARVON CASTLE. One report has it that they’ve caught up with her and that the battle is now going on. Then there’s excitement along the South coast of Cuba. A submarine was espied in those waters, a submarine whose nationality could not be identified. She was reported some three hundred miles east of the Isle of Pines, where the British cruiser Diomede captured a German freighter yesterday. &ATSUOKA An interview with Yosuke Matsuoka, Foreign Minister of His Imperial Majesty, th< of Japanl He made it a little clearer just what his countryTs position is in relation to the Axis, and also to the United States. It is true, said Matsuoka, that if we enter tne war on the side of Great Britain, Japan will have to join in on the side of the Axis. But only if we get into the fight as an aggressor. Of course that leaves a pretty wide margin. Just what constitutes an aggressor these days? In this case it would have to be decided by agreement between Germany, Italy and Japan. In other words, if Germany and Italy complained that the United States was an aggressor, the Japanese government would have to agree before joining them. And of course that leave a loophole through which you could drive a tank. % Matsuoka i liliiH \ \ i li in li iiniil such a case not arise, in fact such a hope is the very object of the agreement Germany and Italy. Then he added a something else interesting, and he emphasized it: "If America takes part in the war, there's nothing that obliges Japan to declare war immediately. MATSUOKA - 2 Matsuoka told the newspapermen he hoped the new Japanese A Ambassador, Admiral Aomura, would be able to improve the relations : c t. een the United States and Japan. At the same time, he made it c.ear that the Japanese government is not on its knees, and not in any humble mood, it will not modify its policy in China in the slightest degree. Matsuoka concluded by saying: "If we fight it will be awfully foolish of us both." >»U. l ZQA i President Quezon of the Philippine Islands is annoyed with Uacie SaniT s High Commissioner, Francis B. Sayre. The Commissioner made the statement recentiy that the President ofthe United States nad the power to disapprove any amendments to the Philippine Constitution. SUlfl President Quezon fat as soon as he learned ofjfche jumped out of mu s-re* bed, A /t sent out a hurry call for the newspapermen, and tore into the High Commissioner. He started by saying that he was not going to beat around the bush. Then he said that it wasnTt fair for Higja Commissioner Sayre to make pse.of press conferences to express his opposition to bills that were pending in the Philippine Assembly. As for the statement made by Sayre about the Presidents power to disapprove amendments. President Quezon pointed out that Mr. Roosevelt had, on the contrary, approved four constitutional amendments recently adopted.

Today P.M. publishes an article by Major Alexander feaeac /\ the warplane designer, the air man who won the Harmon Trophy in NineteenThirty-Nine. txivorshy says s Ingersoll was rignt,' that the information he brought back from England was no news to aviation specialists in this country. and that, as he puts it,‘"it»s high time we stopped bragging about our aeronautical superiority.11 PLANE - 2 The type of plane which is reported today is descrioed as a pursuit interceptor, extremely fast, a single engine job with tnirty and fifty calibre wing guns, fragmentation bombs and other special equipment. The nature of the other special equipment is not being divulged.

People driving over that grgs&~today were astounded to find themselves stopped by motorcycle patrolmen, who were checking up every motorist. As for pedestrians, not a single one was allowed on the bridge, all the footwalks closed, A In additionj every inch of that huge steel structure was inspected from the ground up. And into the bargain a big boat of Uncle Saa^s Coast Guard patrolled New Yor^s East River beneath the Triborough Bridge. The explanation for all thrs is that somebody had thrown out a warning that the bridge was to be bombed. The warning came to a newspaper and was anonymous WEATHER Another cold spell coming.
