FERMENT IN EUROPE.

P.A. Gable.

LONDON, Oct. 12.

The activities of patriots against the German occupation authorities are emphasised in messages from several European countries to-day. Moscow radio reports that French patriots ambushed a column of lor • ries carrying German troops in a Paris suburb, killed 17 of them and set fire to two lorries, The pro-Axis headquarters in Nioe were blown up. This is the 15th bomb explosion there in the last three weeks. The Germans have offered a reward of 10,000 marks for information about the two cyclists who at nighttime shot dead the Nazi farm-leader Schwarz and also wounded a local German police chief Domreh in the Koscierzyna district of Poland. Belgian Government circles in London state that the Germans published the names of 122 Belgian patriots executed between April, 1941, and July, 1942. Many others were executed whose identity has not been revealed. An Istanbul message states that English, New Zealand, Australian and Greek guerillas are waging continuous war against the Germans in Crete. British planes frequently drop loads of food and ammunition in the mountain areas where the bands are hiding and also drop bombs on the Germans. The execution in Germany of five more Germans for high treason is reported from Zurich. Those executed included Juliette Kachele, aged 22, who it was alleged helped the enemy by spreading enemy propaganda.
