OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
CAMPAIGN IN NORWAY / • NO SUPPORT FOR ENEMY CLAIMS. CONSIDERABLE ALLIED ACTIVITY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 1. After yesterday’s batch of German claims from Norway, some • of which wore a grim appearance of truth, today’s lack of confirmation of the invaders’ successes, plus evidence of considerable Allied activity in various Norwegian zones, provides ground for a somewhat brighter assessment of the general position. Too much importance should not be attached to the German withdrawal from Roros, but apparently the Norwegians are operating more spiritedly in this district as well as between Tromso and Narvik, where the Norwegian Sixth Division is reported to have cleared the Germans from Gratangen. According to Swedish reports, the Allies repulsed the Germans advancing from Stenkjaer. The Norwegians wiped out two patrols in their sector. The Hegre Fortress remains a thorn in the German side on the Trondheim front, for which reason it was subjected to venomous attacks today which the garrison heavily repulsed.
