Noted Nazi War Criminal Captured LONDON, July 3.

Hidden snipers, probably members of the S.S., are still in The Hague firing on Dutch and Allied troops, says the Daily Mail correspondent. They appear to have underground passages between houses or hideouts connected by passages in the woods, fields and bomb ruins. Some Nazi dug-outs in Schevingen have food for the occupants for three years, but they have no water so thep are being left undisturbed for a thirst siege. Allied troops have captured Ernst Wilhelm Bohle, whom Hitler in 1910 appointed gauleiter for Britain, reports the Luxembourg radio. He is imprisoned in Germany awaiting trial as a war criminal. Bohle, with the rank of general, was chief of all Nazis outside Germany and controlled worldwide espionage and fifth column activity. He was born in Bradford. England, and was aged 42 years. His father was an electrical engineer and became professor of the Capetown University. Bohle was educated in South Africa and often visited England where he addressed numerous meetings.

The Moscow radio announced that the body of Goebbels will be shown in a documentary film on Berlin now being made so that every German can see for himself what remains of the man who was the evil spirit of the German people. It added that an S.S. attempt to burn the body with petrol did not completely succeed.
