French Recapture
Be||egarde After
Battle Around Fort
Defenders Are Reported
To Have RepuIsed Attack
On 'GibroItor of Rhone'
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLANCY, Swiss-French Frontier,
June 22.-French sources reported
today the French defenders OF
L'Ecluse fort, near Bellegarde, not
only repulsed an attack on the
mountain citadel early this after
noon, but drove the Germans out
of the town of Bellegarde, miles
away.
The guns of the big fort defending
the Rhone River gorges and the
junction of the lower Jura with the
Alpine foothills below the Italian
front were silent in midafternoon for
the first time since early morning.
Bellegarde Recovered.
Refugees said the French regained
possession Of Belgrade.
The French dynamited the rail-
road south of Bellegarde to prevent
an attack north along the Rhone.
Powerful German motorized
forces. backed by artillery and sup
ported by bombers, we're reported to
have captured Bellegarde hours earl
ier, and were attacking Fort LEcluse
called the Gibraltar of the
Rhone."
L'Ecluse Fort is carved out of rock
beside the winding highway be-
tween the Swiss frontier and the
town of Bellegarde. 1t dominates
the Rhone gorges and rises a thou
sand feet above sea level. The French
call it the guardian to the northern
entrance Of the Alpine frontier with
Italy.
Battle Began at 4 AM.
The battle began at 4a.m. From
tier guards on the Swiss side of the
CLANCY Bridge over the Rhone, 10
miles from the town of Bellgarde
and five miles from the LEcluse
Fort, heard artillery fire, air bombs
and other sounds of battle from Bell
garde.
Refugees later reported the Ger
mans stormed and captured Belize
garde. where the Rhone River
vanishes under rock, drops about 80
feet and emerges in narrow gorge.
German troops apparently con-
centrated all possible mechanized
forces, men and planes in Southern
France for the attack. 1t was
launched from Mantua, on the west,
simultaneously with a push from
the Valserine Valley on the north.
Defenders Fall Back.
The city of Bellegarde, which is
600 feet lower than peaks around
it, was occupied within a few hours
while defending troops fell back on
L'Ecluse Fort. Once on this side
OF Bellegarde, German forces pressed
up the steep hill toward the fort.
The French for two years have
been strengthening the fort with
elaborate tunneling. However, most
of the huge guns dominating the
area between Bellegarde and An
necy were aimed toward the south
and east, while the Germans were
attacking from the west and north
