France is full of guerrillas who are equivalent to parachute troops, already on the spot and ready waiting and impatient to fight. In all toyvns and nearly all villages a sort of instinctive secret, general mobilisation has tyrought together men of all ages. Officers dispersed throughout the country have undertaken secret commands. Severe fighting .continues in Montenegfd, where the fifth SewftarFoffensive against the patriots shows no signs of slackening, according to the latest information reaching Jugoslav circles in London.
