ALL BLOWN UP
MINES AND OIL WELLS ON SPITZBERGEN NOTHING LEFT FOR GERMANS. RADIO STATION WRECKED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, Sptember 10. The Canadian raiding force wrecked Spitzbergen’s coalmines, oil-wells, fishcuring factories and everything else helpful to the German war effort, says the ’‘Daily Mail.” A Canadian engineer said, “We blew up every coalmine, fired every oil well and smashed every bit of machinery. We overran the island for some days. “Hitler must have been getting big supplies from the coal mines, and also oil. I have never seen such up-to-date machinery. The radio station from which the Germans obtained valuable meteorological information was wrecked.”
