CONTROL OF COMMUNICA-
TIONS IN FRANCE
I BASLE, July 29. There are both civil and military reasons for the Germans' action in cutting off all communications between occupied and unoccupied France. Germany needs all the available trains to prepare for an invasion of Britain, and she fears espionage and sabotage by refugees from unoccupied France. Also, £<sie needs all the food supplies in the occupied territory for her trpops. The civil reason is that the Germans a*re not prepared to handle the huge influx of refugees. "
