100000 Nazi Troops
By-passed in France
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated PTeSS.
WITH THE UNITED STATES, Sd
ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. IA (De-
layed)-This strange war finds the
Germans preparing for bitter battles
to keep the Allies out of the Reich
with a hidden reserve" of more
than 100000 men-,but the reserve
forces are hidden in France where
they are of scant use to Hitler and
even less worry to Gen. Eisenhower.
These forgotten Nazis, by-passed
by the Allied onrush through France,
are distributed thus: 5000 at Dun
kerque, $4,000 at Lorient, 10000 at
st. Nazaire, 10000 in the Vannes
area, and $4,000 in the Bordeaux sec
tor. There probably is another TO-
900 of them on the Channel Islands.
Presumably all the major Nazi
units are in radio communication
with the German high command and
theoretically under its control. Ac-
tually they are hamstrung by lack of
transport, munitions and supplies.
The surrender of 10000 Germans
near Orleans without any ground
pressure being brought to bear prob
ably is a tip-off on what many of
the isolated Germans will do when
winter closes in and supplies shrink.
Others may hold out and some may
even try desperate break-through.

There was no doubt that the Mos

powers. In this respect it was said
progress had been made"
For the first night since their

London Poles had no meeting with
British or Russian leaders last
night. Whether Mr.. Mikola jczyk
