Widespread Sabotage
Against Germans in
Denmark Reported
BY the Associated Press.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 20.-A deter
mined, countrywide campaign of
sabotage. apparently aimed at de-
stroying land and sea transport ia
cilities used by the Nazis to supply
their forces in Norway, was reported
by travellers arriving here from Dem
mark today.
Danish patriots, the travellers said,
are Systematically wrecking Danish
factories producing German war
materials as well as railroads and
harbor installations which have be-
come increasingly important to the
Germans since they can no longer
ship men and supplies across Sweden
to Norway.
At the same time representatives
Of the five major Danish political
parties were called into extraordi-
nary session in Copenhagen, ap-
parently to consider changes in the
governments policy toward Nazi oc-
cupation of Denmark.
Change Of Leaders Seen.
Possibility of switch in govern
ment leaders was seen as a result of
the conclave, but any decisions
reached are not expected to be an
nounced until after King Christian
meets with German Minister Wer-
ner Best tomorrow, when, it is be-
lieved, Denmark's position in the
light of recent developments will be
reviewed.
Tho Hiyorp 1r,oc cniI ~
Best last on August IA, after Premier
Eric Scavenius and other ministers
had threatened to resign following
Best's ultimatum that German oc-
cupational authorities would take
over punishment of Danish
saboteurs.
Meanwhile, disorders were re-
ported mounting, travellers bringing
word of clashes between patriots
and German soldiers in Odense
They said that railroad line trans
porting German war supplies for
shipment to Norway had been
dynamited at several places between
Flensburg, Germany, and Aarhus,
Denmark.
Is Nazis Killed in Riot.
Reports reaching Malmo said IS
German soldiers were killed in riots
which forced the authorities to
clamp down an pm. curfew on
most of the Funen Island district
Danish soldiers have been stationed
in that area.
Railway sabotage has become so
intensive, reports stated, that the
crew of one train carrying German
soldiers was forced to change loco
motives five times as the result of
damage from exploding bombs
placed between the rails.
Spreading strikes, minor violence,
increased sabotage and underground
activity during the past week have
spurred the Germans to demand
that those guilty be punished under
Nazi law in German courts, these
reports said. It is these demands,
coupled with rising political unrest,
that may result in a government
upset.

American Ingenuity
Helps Save Lives Of
Wounded in Sicily
Hy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 20-Ameri-
can ingenuity that turns empty shell
cases into first-aid kits and jeeps
into four -stretcher field ambulances
contributed to savings lives of
doughboys in Sicily.
An Army medical report told of a
number of improvisations which
proved of sterling worth as the 7th
Army smashed the Axis forces in
brilliant 38-day campaign.
Jeeps Carry Four Litters.
Cardboard cases which formerly
contained mortar shells were used
to carry bandages, sulphanilamide
envelopes and medical supplies to
the front. They were slung over the
back of medical department aides
and. when sealed with adhesive tape,
kept the contents dry and service
able.
The jeep, the vehicle of all war
trades, was easily adapted to er-
rands of mercy by the medical men.
With a few cents worth of salvaged
lumber and handful of screws, they
constructed frameworkS on which
each machine was able to carry four
litters. "Jeepolances" promptly be-
gan going over terrain no regula-
tion ambulances could face.
At a forward aid station, one
young medical officer. troubled by
shell conclusions which knocked out
the standard lighting equipment at
night, rigged up headlight from
the fender of truck, and emer-
gency treatment continued without
further hitch.
Dentist Devises Equipment.
Tending acute cases of toothache
In crude Siciian quarters, an Amer
lean field dentist was bothered by
the flow of saliva in patients
mouths. He placed one gasoline can
on top of another, filling the top
one with water which, while flowing
into the lower can, created suction
in a piece of rubber tube which
stuck into the open mouths.
One inventive doctor perfected his
own type of giant band aid" Taking
several 4-inch-square dressings, he
affixed cross strips of adhesive tape
with several inches left over. He |
covered the entire adhesye surface
with layer of gauze. This, when |
speed was required to cover up a
bad wound, he simply whipped off,
placing the band aid over the injury.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC,
Aug. 20.-Japan's supply line has
been cut in the Solomons and
sorely strained in New Guinea
the right and left flanks of the
Allies Pacific drive-but the
enemy still has a precarious
foothold on New Georgia and
clingS to Salamaua.
Reports in today's communique
from both ends of the 750-mile
battle arc emphasize clearly the
jungle character of the Pacific war
and the determination of the Japa-
nese to make the most of the
topography.
The Gommunique told of Amer
ican jungle troops in the Solomons
going after pockets of enemy re-
sistance yesterday on atolls and
isletS only a mile or so west of the
Munda airfleld on New Georgia

Last Sunday the Americans oc-

Georgia and Kolombangara had
been severed

Despite that, the japanese have
remained on small isles near Munda,
even shelling the field, making nee
essary the liquidation campaign

closed. They also are hanging on

Daniel J. Carson said that the Wa

It's complete cooperation.
Fire Marshal D. J. Leahy Lahey
revealed that the fire department
has had to issue several warnings
during the past few weeks 10 people
who were disregarding ordinary rul-
ings for maintaining cleanliness
throughout the city. The marshall
said that the most practiced viola
ton Is the clipping Of hedges and
burning the refuse in the gutter.
People leave the remains without
bothering TO clean 1t up, he added.
Street Supt. Herbert L. Scott
Smith said that the city's trucks
were occupied recently In cleaning
up the debris on Harper's Ferry

then commence to clean the Wards
Flats section. People have been
dumping old mattresses, rags, ETC.,
into the Great Brook, he revealed,
and II this continues the downtown
streets will be flooded, he added.
There has been too much Of this
dumping In the Great Brook and
1t will eventually block the passages
and the water will do considerable
damage to the lower sections Of the
city. he pointed out.
Dr.. Godfrey said that many peo-
pie continue to violate the rules to
keep this city clean despite the
warnings that have been issued from
his once. He added, these people
will be given their due when the
drive is strictly enforced in the near
future and the habitual offenders
win be severely punished.
The railroad company grounds
have been completely cleared away
and the view Is most commendable
one now for the city, said Or. God

need Of the most attention were the

The mayor concluded that he has
contacted the heads Of the COM
