AMERICAN’S STORY.
“MAJOR BLUNDER.” Received April 26, 10.15 a.m. NEW YORK, April 25. The New York Post sensationally features a Chicago Daily News copyright.report from Leland Stowe declaring that the British force attacking Trondheim from Namsos consisted” of two battalions, totalling under fifteen hundred men, inadequately armed, a.nd unsupported by anti-air-craft, field-guns, or aircraft, but facing crack German regulars. The British were driven back three miles south of Steinkjer. The correspondent describes this as a major military blunder. Nearly half the force which was the vanguard of the Allies became casualties or were captured. Other reliable American opinion believes the foregoing should be treated with the greatest reserve.
