Nazi Baltic Lines Are
All Sowed With Mines

German vessels in the entrance to
the Baltic was regarded as one OF
the most daring aviation feats OF the
war.
Air circles said that the munitions
ship which was blown up in the raid
was in a line of eight to 10 vessels
which were speeding northward
through the Great Belt.
A prize crew today took the Ger
man trawler Friesland, PAT tons, into
a northeast Scottis port. 1t was I'M
derstood that the trawler was one
of several which were captured off
the Norwegian coast.
Attack Nazis Everywhere
Penetrating deeply toward the
Baltic proper, a German-Russian
lake, the bombers attacked German
ships not only in the Katetgat, the
inner passage between the Danish
and Swedish mainlands, but in the
great and little belts between the
two main Danish islands, and the
Danish mainland, which constitute
the chief entrances to the Baltic it
self, only about 100 miles from the
German Baltic coast.
An air ministry communique, which
indicated that fuller reports might
disclose severe damage to the Ger
man ships, said:
During last night Royal Air Force
bomber aircraft carried out attacks
in force on enemy transport and
supply vessels, in the Kattegat and
the great and little belts to the
south.
preliminary reports indicate that
among the detectives attacked was
a vessel of about 8oGG tons which

to a German western front offen-
sive-the meeting of the army Hit
Ter believes to be irresistible and
the French and British armies en-
trenched in the Maginot defense
line which they believed to be I'M
movable.
The tension noted in western Eu-
rops was felt over the entire CONT
nent. 1t was reported that Germany
might demand facilities for transit
of troops and supplies from Sweden;
the Swedish coast had been mined
and the key Swedish port OF Hahn
stad had been BACKED out during
the night: Premier Benito Musso-
lini was reported to have called tive
army classes to the colors; Rumanla
was nervous over the possibility OF
action by either Russia or Germany.
Briton Resigned
Britons resigned themselves to a
wait of possibly several days for full
details of the naval and air force
fighting in the Sakgerrak and the
North Sea.
1t was recognized that time might
prove an urgent factor both to the
Allies and to Germany in Scandlna-
via. 1t was up to Germany to eS-
tablish communication lines to sup
port it's forces in Norway. 1t was up
to the Allies to cut any such line
and, by a series OF dangerous coast
al raids to attack the German
forces in Norwegian ports.
People remained convinced that
the Allies had won a notable victory
in naval and air operations in the
north.
But today's newspapers clearly
sowed their disappointment that
Winston Churchill, first lord of the
Admiralty, had been unable to an
nounce a smashing Allied victory in
his House of Commons speech yes
terday.
Reports Come Slowly
1t was recognized that reports Of
such greatly extended engagements
must come slowly, it took several
days to clear up the details of the
battle of Jutland, the last great ma
val engagement between Britain and
Germany. Nevertheless there was
disappointment.
There had been no official reports
of naval fighting for many hours
after Churchills speech. though 1t
was believed certain that any num-
Der of engagements were being
| fought.
Ostend, on the Belgian coast, re-
ported frequent explosions from 9
o'clock last night onward off the
northwest Belgian coast, as if war;
ships or warships and planes were
fighting in British waters. Newport,
Belgium, reported two big explo-
sions, one at 2:45 p. m. yesterday,
the other at p. m, off the French
coast.
The air ministry announced that
