Bridge Found Mined.— All traffic on a main road leading to Limoges was diverted last night when it was discovered that a bridge over which hundreds of heavy trucks rumble every day was mined. Workmen repairing the bridge first gave the warning when they dug up large quantities of gelignite and detonators in seemingly good condition. The bridge was mined in 1944, and was apparently overlooked by French Army engineers. —Limoges, August 10.
