Enlisements of Frenchmen for
the German labor service continue,
but now, according to the French
press, those who register must re-
main in France until further notice
because Of the transportation tangle.
(This dispatch indicated the
German decision was prompted
primarily by lack Of transporta-
ton, but 1t appeared another rea-
son might be the necessity of
keeping collaborating Frenchmen
at home to repair the railroad

The Germans are said to have
asked Vichy to halt . campaign

railroad workers killed at their jobs
by sabotage or Allied air attack.
Since the campaign began the num-

Frenchmen crossing the Spanish
frontier say the Germans are slowly
filling all the prisons in France with
sabotage suspects and thousands of
others held merely as hostages.
Meanwhile, reports reaching the
Spanish border said a guerrilla bat
tie in the Correze department of
France had reached such propor-
tions that powerful Maquis forces
had surrounded several thousand
German troops trying to free Tulle,
