DANISH SABOTAGE

ARMS FACTORY BLOWN UP.

LONDON, May; 14. Saboteurs blew up the main power station and partly destroyed the assembly shop at the Riffel S'yndikatet in Copenhagen, which is Denmark’s largest and most closely-guarded arms factory, reports the Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph.' Production is reported to be practically at a standstill. Repair gangs are making an all-out attempt to restart the factory, in which more than 1500 workers make machine-guns and anti-aircraft guns for Germany. The Riffel works has long been regarded as a primary objective tor saboteurs, but they are also most difificult to reach, for which reason it is thought in Stockholm that the job was possibly done by -a specially-se-lected squad trained in Britain and dropped by. parachute over Denmark. A recent arrival from Denmark estimated that at least two hundred parachutists are operating throughout Denmark under the noses of the occupation forces.
