OCCUPIED COUNTRIES

BOMBS IN BELGIUM. (Rec. noon) LONDON, October 21. Several Germans were killed when a bomb exploded at the Gestapo headquarters at Charleroi, says the Independent Belgian News Agency. Another bomb explosion occurred the following day at the Gestapo headquarters at Marieuelle, near Charleroi. The Germans have imposed a curfew on the Charleroi area. GROUP FORMATIONS RUGBY, October 21. Mr. Eden was asked in the Commons if he would make it clear that the formation of federations or confederations in Europe, between States of mutual interests, was in accordance with the Atlantic Charter, and would be welcomed by the British Government in strengthening the world organisation of peace. He replied it was the British Government’s opinion that the provisions of the Atlantic Charter were in no way incompatible with the formation of such federations or confederations. The Government welcomed and was prepared to encourage any steps by the smaller States to weld themselves into larger, though not exclusive groupings.

SERBIAN REVOLT

LONDON, October 21. All Serbia has been placed under military law, following the renewed attempt in Belgrade to organise a revolt against the Occupation authorities, says a despatch from Budapest. The German military authorities announce that many were arrested in Belgrade.
