By PAUL GHALI Ce a Lge Dansianapatty Times BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 22.—All officers of the French army, which was permitted to remain in existeat the time -of - the -FrancoGerman armistice and later ruthlessly “demobilized” by the Nazis when they occupied all of France last November, now are being rounded up by the gestapo, just as was done in Holland, Norway Belglum and Denmark. . "I have private information that these officers—whose names the Germans got from the ministry of war in Vichy—have received a letter ordering them to presefit themselves to the German commanders of their respective districts.

RMY' WITHDRAWS

Precaytionary measures by the Germans against a French uprising are not limited to the arrest of these officers. All reserve officers of the 1939 army, who are not prisoners in Germany, are also being sought. The emotion aroused in France by this Nazi action is considerable as there are a great number of reserve Officers still in the country, It is impossible to know what propor. tion of these officers ate prisoners or liberated. ;

Meanwhile a new wave of arrests by the gestapo is sweeping France.

They say he was the most popular man in that region, : All these German ‘measures have considerably augmented the number of Frenchmen who are Joining the Frond patriots in the “bush” despite the coming winter with its hardships. ‘The latest reliable figire estimates the French army of resistance at 230000 men.
