FRENCH DESTROYERS PASS GIBRALTAR.
IVOr MOLESTED. British Warships Reported In Pursuit. United Press Association.-—Copyright. (Reod. 2 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 30. A Tangier dispatch says three French destroyers and two merchantmen passed Gibraltar unmolested and entered the Atlantic. A Spanish news agency later stated that British warships were pursuing the French ships near CeNta. From Gibraltar it is reported that the Germans have greatly exaggerated; the raid casualties. Only about 30 people were killed in the second spvere raid last week, not 200, which, in view of the intensity of the attack, is considered very slight. Axis infiltration into French Morocco is accentuating the authorities in tightening up control of all who" are suspected of being hostile to the Axis, says another Tangier message. Twenty-six Britons have been ordered from Caea'blanca to the interior.
