Sabotage

On January IS two German
transport vessels, the Donau and
Rolandseck, arrived at Oslo. The
Donau began. Immediately to take
on a cargo of horses, automobiles
and other material as we'll as l 500
troops. The work of loading con-
tinued throughout the night. At
1 p. m. there was an explosion on
board. The ship was run aground
near Drobak, and the Germans be-
gan to work feverishly at the task
of unloading the horses, the cars,
the materiel and the troops. At
s p. m. the following day the ship
sank; it now reposes on the bot
tom with bow high in the air
AS for the Rolandseck, it's explo-
sion came at a. m. on January
II. Through heavy use of the
pumps the ship was kept afloat
until the leak was sealed.
About $50 German military
guards at the Akers shipyards in
Oslo have been arrested as a re-
suit of the happenings there on
November 25 when Norwegian sab
oteurs sunk or damaged $4,000
tons of German shipping. The Sc
Curity police is said to be of the
opinion that the sabotage could not
have been carried out without Ger
man aid. Now SIS troops guard
the shipyards.

Ting-A-Ling Bombs

In Oslo nowadays one hears
much talk of telephone bombing"
This is one of the various forms
of nerve war" engaged in by pa
triots and it works out like this ::
A stranger telephones to a factory,
business house or strategic build
ing and says CURLY that the place
is about to be blown to smither-
Gems.
Immediately there is great
furry of excitement. Police are
summoned, work is interrupted.
People in Norway have lately been
witnessing too much sabotage, too
many explosions to take such
warnings lightly. AS rule. how
ever, nothing happens. In Oslo it
mas been mainly the railway sta
lions, leading hotels and Nazi
newspapers that have been sub
jected to bombing per telephone.

Bonished Posters

The AZ pastors and bishops who
have been living in Punishment at
Lillehammer have now been trans
ferred, apparently with their fami-
lies, to Helgoya in Mjosa where
the authorities" believe they can
exert better control over the cler-
gymen. Meanwhile the explana-
ton for the establishment of the
Lillehammer pastor colony has
become known.
Originally pastors banished from
their congregations were permit
ted to select their own place of
new residence. AS rule, however,
they selected communities from
which loyal pastors had previously
been banished, and thus the result
became little else than an ex-
change of pastors for the individ-
ual parish. To put stop to this
the Nazis began sending all BAN
ished pastors to Lillehammer. At
present there are 25 pastors in
termed at Grim concentration
camp.

Here and There
In Norway

With the gas works in all i'm
portant cities shut down, a severe
shortage of electric stoves and
plates has become evident. Nazi
authorities have appealed to the
people to help one another out,
urging those who have such electri-
cal equipment to make it available
for use by neighbors during certain
hours of the day. There's also an
acute shortage of electric bulbs,
and bulb-snatching, particularly in
restaurants, hotels, public build
ings, ETC., has reached epidemic
proportions. And there's also
a shortage of glass bottles; some
retailers require a deposit of up to
five kroner ($1.25) per bottle. &.
The National Theatre in Oslo is re-
ported due to close soon because
of the lack of fuel. Roald Dys-
the, an NS-man who was arrested
last November on charges of plot
ting to put himself in Quisling's
boots, has now been sentenced to
six years Imprisonment. Prof.
Klaus Hansen, one of Dysthe's CO.
workers, has been excluded by the
MS party and elected from the
craftsmanship of the Norwegian
German Society. Large num-
bers of refugees from Norway con-
tinue to enter Sweden. Ger
man troops are still quartered in
nearly all private homes at from

the most part headed south.

First To Antwerp

In London it was revealed re-
Gently that the first United Ma
tons ship to anchor at Antwerp
in more than four years was the
Norwegian vessel Lysholm. 1t ar
rived there four days ahead of the
big convoy bringing supplies to
Belgium's civilians.
Back in 1910 when Norway was
attacked, the Lysholm lay in a
Norwegian harbor loading copper
ore intended for Holland. But
Capt. Asbjornsen, who is still mas
ter aboard, didn't wait for orders
or advice from the Germans. He
set out Immediately across the
North Sea and placed himself and
his ship at the service of Norwe-
gian authorities in Great Britain.
He, his ship and his crew have
been busy ever since. Frequently
they have been under enemy at
tack. Once a torpedo found the
Lysholm, but the damage was
comparatively slight.
While German air attacks on
Britain were at the worst, the Lys-
holm was constantly in and out
of London harbor. From D-day
up to the time of the Antwerp
call, the Lysholm made 13 trips
to France. On one of these trips.
when the Lysholm was carrying
American troops, her gun crew
brought down an attacking Ger
man plane.

Norwegian Airmen

Norway's flyers had another
good day January IA when two
fighter squadrons based on the
continent shot down six enemy
planes without loss to themselves.
An Raj communique stated: Ely
ers from two Norwegian Spitfire
squadrons of Air Vice Marshall E..
c. Huddleston's group shot down
six German planes over an airport
in the Rhine area west of Osna-
bruck on Jan. IA.
The Norwegian Spitfires dove
down upon more than 60 FW-190s
and ME-1O9s which were circling
over the airport. Five jet-propelled
Messerschmidts came in from the
north, and thereupon 80 more FW-
1905 hurled themselves into the
battle. The Norwegians, who
were outnumbered 5 to /, shot
down six of the enemy planes, in

Life At Grim

The German commandant at
Grim, largest concentration camp
in Norway, has issued a new set
of rules governing the conduct of
prisoners. The first in the list
states that while prisoners are
given great freedom of move
ment" inside the camp, any at
tempts to escape will result in
severe reprisals. Anyone caught
trying to escape will be shot, say
the rules. The camp is surrounded
by live" electric wires and be-
You'd the wires are land mines.
AS for saluting, the rules state
that prisoners must greet all
Germans, both those in uniform
and those in civilian clothes, as
well as all women employees. Here
is how it's done: At distance of
six PAGES the prisoner removes his
cap, marches past the German
with head erect, eyes forward.
Three PAGES beyond the German,
he replaces his cap. Salutes for
officers of the rank of major or
higher are fancier, requiring "Still-
gestanden, Augen rechts und Au-
gen links"
Reading of books and papers
distributed by the camp command
ant is strictly prohibited during
working hours, and severe punish
ment is stipulated for the snug
Cling of letters or packages out
Of the camp. Prisoners guilty of
such action are to be shipped to
Germany. Prisoners who gesture
or use finger language to fellow
prisoners in the open" zone are
to be punished. When a prisoner
enters a room where a camp Off
Cial is present he must halt at the
door, remove his cap, stand at at
tention and shout: Prisoner (num-
Der and name) reporting"

One-Mon Torpedoes

Reports have reached Stockholm
that the Germans have recently
brought to Norway a "considera-
BILE number" of their so-called
storm motorboats," probabl y
about 175 of them. They are con-
structed like small but powerful
speedboats with heavy charge of
explosives in the bow. In use the
pilot (there is room for only one
man aboard) steers the boat to-
wards its target, jumps out when
he is as near as he dares go. He
is equipped with a life preserver
suit.
1t is understood the "one-man
torpedoes" which reached Norway
were shipped by rail from Oslo to
Trondheim, and this precaution by
the Germans is taken as an indi-
cation that they still reckon with
the possibility of an Allied invasion
of Norway from the west. In such
an event the storm motorboats"
would serve as substitutes for sea-

Gestopo Terror

A few miles south of Bergen
lies the little village of Os, noted
for its scenic surroundings and
before the warrior a small but
thriving furniture industry. Last
fall an RAF plane made an emer-
gency landing near Os; members
of the crew destroyed the plane,
then made a clean getaway. The
Gestapo turned an accusing eye on
the people of Os. One day a
strange woman appeared in town;
she went from house to house sell
ing religious tracts, talking and
listening, and she stayed several
days. When she returned it was
with the Gestapo. Then followed
two days of terror in Os. with ran
sacking and brutality, and wind
ing up with the arrest of 100 or
more men aged Is to 65, all of
whom were transported to Bergen
and locked up there.
Numerous persons have also
been arrested recently in Rogaland
province, particularly at Bjerkreim
and in Stavanger. Over a wide
area the Gestapo has carried on
an intensive search of all farm
homes. Among those known to
have been arrested are Pastor Uhl
and his son, Station Master Knoph,
Dairy Manager Vikse, Teacher

mann (sheriff) Rowland, all of

Norwoy's Children

Stockholm newspapers recently
carried an article by Thorbjorn
Thune, teacher, on how the chill
dren of Norway are getting on.
Most of the schools, he wrote,
have been requisitioned and are
being used by the Germans for bar
racks or offices. Therefore in
struction is carried on in homes or
in such meeting places as can be
found. In Oslo many homes with
adequate space have assigned one
room for the use of the class to
which a child in the family be-
longs. Such arrangements are,
however, always subject to change
without notice, particularly if the
family receives notice that its
house or apartment is being requi-
sitioned by the Germans.
Since most of the larger homes
are in the outskirts of the city,
considerable difficulty has been en-
countered in getting children to
and from SCHOOL" For instance,
many parents were reluctant to
permit their young daughters to
venture out on the streets alone
in city filled with thousands of
foreign troops, where blackout
prevails, and where darkness
comes early during the winter
months. Teachers and parents
together solved this problem by
taking turns in escorting the
youngsters home. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see teacher or some
other adult walking along with
group of youngsters, delivering"
one here, one there, at houses along
the street.
The grave uncertainties under
which parents live places a def
mite strain on the nerves of the
youngsters. They realize that at
any moment father or mother may
be arrested. In many homes fam
lily member has long been under
arrest, and there is no knowing
whether he is living or dead. In
addition, there is the constant
threat that if parents are arrested,
children may be sent to Germany.
Also, many children have brothers,
father or other relatives outside
Norway, perhaps in the Norwegian
fighting forces or merchant ma
rine. Great anxiety attaches to
every thought of them.
Children have not remained I'M
affected by labor CONSUMPTION.
Boys and girls down to the age of
Is are constantly being ordered
out. There is plenty of Nazi propa-
ganda directed at the youngsters.
but it makes no impression. The
child has learned to
recognize Nazi propaganda for
what it is. If they don't ignore it,
they make sport of it.
