Basle," Bwttseriand. -- JVeocV and German aoldierii ' got ao worked up over an exchange of loudspeaker insults from one line to the other that the nearest thing to a battle yet staged on the Rhine front continued for an iour last night. > It started when the broadcaater on a German musical program which entertains .the French through a loudapeaier departed from the usual Insults to the British and compliments to the French to brag about the Ger man victory in Norway. ’Uhls so excited "the French broadcaster that he made uncom plimentary references about Adolf Hitler. A German sharpshooter took a pot shot at the French Ic-udspeak- er with his rifle. For an hour thereafter the whole sector north of Basle re sounded with rifle, machlnegun and heavy artillery fire. Military observers estimated that at least $50,000 worth of ammunition was used up by both si les—and they doubted wheth er anyone In Germany’s west wall or France's Maginot line even had been wounded.
