specifically denying Such charges, l,
will suffice to point out that 1t is al
ways the agencies which pursue d
''hush, hush" course that get the
most open and violent newspaper

this account, it has nobody to blame
but itself.
No self-respecting neWspape: man

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A former
Dutch artillery captain told yester-
day Of rebellion among Nazi troops
training for the invasion of Eng
land and described columns of
mutineers being marched back to
labor camps with their hands trussed
behind their backs.
The story was told by Capt. Carl
Ter Weele, 81, who arrived on the
American Export Liner Exeter from
Lisbon. Other passengers said the
morale Of the German Army had
suffered such a severe blow through
heavy losses of life during practice
maneuvers that invasion of Britain
now was unlikely.
British Receive Tips.
They reported also that occupied
France and Holland were teeming
with civilian informants who told
the British when German ships and
Self-propelled barges put out into
the Channel for exercise ma
neuvers.'
As a result British submarines
and planes were waiting, and blast
