The attack on Gibraltar muy take place very soon.

Apart from the German batteries on the Spanish and Spanish Moroc. can shores of the Straits Gibral tar, heavy guns from the Maginot Line have arrived at the French Spanish frontler, already railed for transference to Algeciras,

A haven for political refugees from all nations and a country where one out of every seven Swiss men marries a foreign girl, who automatically becomes a Swiss citizen, the way would appear to be open for the disintegrating work of Nazi operators, yet the undergrounil workers have had no conspicuous success here.
