International News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

After having solidly entrenched
themselves all over southern Nor
way, invading German troops are
now marching northward in an eff
fort to establish lines of communica-
ton between Oslo and such strate-
gically important ports as Bergen,
Trondheim and Aandalsnes; fierce re-
sistance is being offered by Norwe-
gian, British and French troops, but
as rule it is quickly overcome.
Through two of the most fertile
and prosperous valleys in the coun-
try, the Gudbrandsdal and the Oster-
dial, the German mechanical legions
are storming, and at the moment
when these lines are being written,
they are seemingly about to obtain
control of the Dombaas station on the
Aandalsnes railroad and the Storen
station on the Trondheim railway.
The German units are, in fact, adj
vancing with such incredible rapidity
that they have to halt once in a while
to give their rear guard a chance to

Exposed to Criticism.

There have been many complaints
that when the British undertook to
send an expeditionary relief force to
Norway, they did not send enough
men, and those who were sent, were
badly equipped with arms. To the
surprise of the world in general it
was pointed out that not until four
or five days ago did the British have
any anti-aircraft guns on Norwegian
soil. Now they are said to have a
few.
Judging from best available re-
ports, there are about $4,000 British
and French soldiers in Norway now.
but there are $4,000 Germans, and the
latter number is being increased
every day. Allied reinforcements are
slower in coming, for where the Ger
mans use-in many cases-airplane
for the transportation of troops, the
British and the French depend on
transport ships which have very
hard time finding landing place on
