Haw Haw,” owing to his mannerisms, Who nightly addresses the English public from the German radio station, and whose comments on affairs are mainly distinguished by grotesque misrepresentations, last', night made himself responsible for the following observation: “Sabotage in Czechoslovakian factories is due to the evil influence of;British Boy, Scouts. This is the conclusion of Yugoslav observers, which is • being freely mentioned in Belgrade. They point out that companies of these alleged Boy Scouts were accustomed to camp in areas where sabotage occurred, and they took advantage of the opportunity to spread anti-Ger-man feeling among the local population.
