STATE OF NORWEGIAN ARMY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, May 9. It is revealed that the British troops saved King Haakon from capture in Gudbransdal. after the Norwegians had exhausted their ammunition. The British arrived in the nick of time and delayed the Germans long enough for King Haakon to embark on a warship. Interviewed in Paris, Professor Koht said the Norwegians had lost over four divisions killed, taken prisoner, captured or interned in Sweden. The remnants of the Fifth Division arc fighting their way northward and the Sixth Division is fighting around Narvik. King Haakon is on Norwegian soil, where “he will remain and where he will fight.”
