LACK OF PETROL
PARALYSES NAZIS
DUTCHI-GERMAN FRONTIER-Germany is paralysed by lack of pelrol. The shortage grows more serious dally, and experts have told after that unless supplies are quickly found defeat will be inevitablo and awift if war begins on a large scale.
This information was given my to-day by a neutral oil official Intimately associated with Germany, He has Just returned from a visit there where he had Interviews with leaders of all the defenco forces, says Correspondent.
II showed me figures which prove that Germany's huge mechanised army is almont immobilist by D rationing scheme, Large numbers of bombers are grounded,
"When the campaign realty staris," said my informant, "Ger- many will be without petrol in two months,”
The mechanised army is using tour times as much fuel as was calculated, and, owing to netion of the British Navy, the submarine flect is using twice as much as was counted on.
Thot humanitarianism-is the reason for aur immunity from large scale alr attacks on citis.
No suppites from the Polish olifields can be expected for at least twelve months, owing to the desiruction by retreating Polisli. troops. No great help can be expected from Russia,
Even with the Allies playing a waiting game. Germany is using twice as much petrol as in peacetime and is receiving only one-third of her usual supplies.

There have been somo-strange anomalies. The sale of English newspapers on the boats leaving here has now been stopped, though they can be bought in French towns.
