LANDSLIDES SABOTAGE
IN NORWAY
LANDSLIDES IN Western Norway, which arc believed to have been started by a secret organisa- tion of patriotic Norwegians to hamper the German occupying forces and provoke unrest, are reported in the Stockholm newspapers.
The fact that a number of them occurred at the same hour would seem to indicate clearly that they were no accident of nature.
If further confirmation were needed that these landslides are ¦ one of the most remarkable ef- forts at sabotage on record, it is to be found in the fact that bath! the Norwegian police and the German military authorities have already made a number of - rests.

"We were all a bit dazed, but I do not think we were frightened. Our matron, Miss Eills, was quite calin throughout. She inspired us all. She was wonderful.
