it Is Used to make tanning ma

Nazis Say Something
Is Afoot in Norway
By the Associated Press,

By tne AsSoclhteo fIeSS.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-The German
DNB Agency broadcast tonight that
there is something afoot in Nor
way"
The agency was not very specific
about just what the something
was. but did say that the civilian
population was leaving its homes
wholesale and that panic had
broken out in the northern province
of Finnmark, with inhabitants fee
ing to the south. ....-
1t was suggested in London that
this might be an artificial panic in
duced by the Nazis to make room
for the troops that now are pouring
into Northern Norway from Finland.
However, with Finlands retire.
ment from the war and the stiffen-
ing attitude on neutral Sweden,
Germany's hold on Norway is con-
siderably weakened.
Sweden announced today that she
had stopped transit of all German
freight to and from Norway via
Sweden and that in the future only
German sick or wounded would be
allowed to pass through.
Transit of German troops and
war material through Sweden was
forbidden last summer. Now, with
haIting of all types of Nazi freight,
the Germans are forced back into
tenuous sea communications with
Norway.
