UTTER DESOLATION
THE TOWN OF ARNHEM
• ■ LONDON, September 26. A Berlin radio war reporter said: Arnhem, which was the centre of violent fighting during the British airborne landing, i s now a heap of ashes and rubble. This, the richest town of the Netherlands, offers a scene of utter desolation. Houses are burnt out, and gardens and parks are studded with the slit trenches of the British paratroops." Though the Germans several times have cut the Allied corridor, it has never been out of action for more than three or four hours, > and the movement of supplies has not been seriously hindered. The position in the corridor is nowhere critical. It is long and narrow, and cannot be lined with Allied troops, and accordingly the Germans from time to time sever it, but they have not the forces necessary to cut it in strength or. for any length of time.
