<•11 ul new iilow at Ailoif Hit
ler's fciiropoan ortross.
I'l.tm every angle new moves
appeared directed at invasion,
hut whether in the Mediterran
ean. the Balkans or across the
Knclisli channel was the allied
war chiefs' secret.
Significant, however, were these
developments:
1. Heavy and repeated Ameri
can air raids on axis airfields in
France—natural targets as a include
tu any new offensive.
2. Declaration of a state of siege
in Norway by apparently jittery
German occupali.m authorities.
3. Virtual isolation of Italy by
severance ol that country's tele
phone and telegraphic communica
tions with Switzerland, giving rise
to the bi lie! that important devel
opments might be in tire offing.
(Dispatches Irom the Swiss bor
der town of Chiasso quoted the j
Swiss Telegraphic Agency a> say
ing that llie situation throughout j
Italy "remained grave, with possi
bility of radical changes from one
moment to tire next.")
4. The B: it'sh war cabinet was
reported in constant session all day j
yesterday, keeping in direct touch ,
with Prime Minister Churchill in |
Qtiebcc.
5. The diversion of UAK heavy ;
bcnib'.T attacks from German war j
industries t'i an all out attempt !■>
knock Italy out of the war by de- .
stroying her industrial facilities.
