GERMANS IN NORWAY
EVACUATION INDICATED (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 7. The impression is gaining ground that the Germans intend to evacuate Norway, according to reports from Norwegian and Swedish press bureaux. This statement is made by Reuter’s Stockholm correspondent. The reports state that German forces have already been withdrawn from several districts in Western Norway. The Germans have not increased the number of their troops in Norway, in spite of the deterioration in quality of the more recent arrivals. German bombers some time ago were mostly withdrawn from Norway, and now the Germans are decreasing the number of their fighters. The Norwegians are wondering what will be the outcome of General von Falkenhorst’s recent visit to Germany, and anticipate extensive demolitions before any evacuation.
