Shift In battle-ground
In European Conflict

With German occupation of Copen-
hagen, Denmark, and the allies spreading
mines around the northern tip of Nor
way, the war theatre has moved into
Northern Europe after a lull of seven
months as each enemy was stalemated
on the Western Front. Bitter fighting
has followed at sea with heavy losses
reported.
England engaged the Nazis in battle
losing two destroyers and claiming to
have destroyed seven supply ships of
the Nazis with one destroyer sunk, one
of these being a troop ship. Germany
claims four British destroyers sunk and
IL other naval vessels damaged. The
battle is still being fought in the North
Sea as each one moves for advantages in
the newly created war center.
Norway has rejected formal demand
of Germany for setting up of Nazi
government in Norway. Resistance was
made by the Norwegians in landing of
Nazi troops at Oslo and report was made
of sinking of the Nazi battleship Karls-
rube by Norwegian shore batteries.
The new move to the north European
front may involve other countries az
neutrality is broken in the swift changes
and each will press for footholds in the
shifting scenes of battle.
The long-awaited war may have at
tanned predicted proportions now that
new battle grounds have been establish
ed,
