NAZI TROOPS
TRANSFER TO RUSSIA French Army Of Occupation Reduced United Press Association.—Copyright. Per. 12.30 p.m. LONDON, April 14. According to the Free French headquarters in London, the Germans are transferring their best troops in the French army of occupation to Russia and replacing them in Paris and other inland centres with youths. The holding troops in western France have been reduced by 90 per cent. Since the St. Nazaire raid the garrisons which remained in the interior have moved to the coast. The Dean of Canterbury, Dr. Hewlett Johnson to-day asserted that it was the plain duty and inescapable task of the United Nations to open a second war front. He was addressing by Atlantic telephone a victory rally being held in New York in honour of the Soviet Army. "Germany and her allies are hammering at Russia in Europe," he said. "Japan will soon Vie hammering at, Russia on the eastern side. We must hammer at Germany on the westtrn side. A bold plan alone will bring a speedy peace."
