ANADIAN TROOPS TAKE SPITSBERGEN

Potential German Coal Supply Shut Off, 700 Islanders Brought Back to England; Present Garrison Is Intentional Mystery.

There were strong implicaHons that only a part of the forces led to the islands by Maj. Gen. Potts of Saskatche‘wan had been withrawn. en authoritative military and

In sending an expeditionary force to the Spitsbergen group, comprising four main islands and several small ones, the British were assumed to have concentrated on West Spitsbergen, the largest island of the group, which is a valuable source of coal for Norway, which owns the islands, and for Germany, which occupies Norway. For a time or for the duration of the war, the British had shown interest in an island group which, while frozen for months in the year, occupies a strategically important position about equidistant from Greenland, the Arctic coast of Norway, and the Russian island groups of Franz Josef Land, and Novaya Zemlya, on which Russia has main-

important meteorological stations. The expedition involved a 1500through dangerous

LONDON, Sept. 9 (U.

100 RAF PLANES ATTACK CASSEL

Lovoniolive /& Workshops ‘Are Target of Raid; Not One Craft Lost. ’

LONDON, Sept. 9 (U. P.) —British long-range bombing planes spread destruction and death through Western Germany during the night after their great Sunday night raid on Berlin. Nearly 100 planes bombed Cassel, in west central Germany, alone, it was said authoritatively, It was added that the great majority of] planes reached their objectives and that not a single plane was lost. At Cassel, the British planes centered on the great Henschel locomotive workshops which, an informant said, “are of particular importance now in view of the Russian campaign” and the necessity for long-haul supply routes.

Munster Also Attacked

The air ministry said that Cassel bore the main weight of the British attack and that many bombs were seen to burst on targets. Munster and other cities of industrial Western Germany also were bombed, the Ministry said, and docks at Cherbourg were attacked. British bombing operations within the last 24 hours, in addition to the Berlin raid and last night’s raid on western industrial Germany, had extended from Norway to Sicily, and Russian planes had made a heavy raid on Bucharest, capital of Rumania.
