FIGHTING FRENCH
Recruiting And Training
(8 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. Reuter’s correspondent with the United States forces at Cherbourg says that a Fighting French official on the Cherbourg Peninsula is already recruiting and training Frenchmen to fight in the coming campaigns. The recruiting drive has only just begun, but more than 200 men are already beginning their initial training. Former French seamen are also being recruited for service in French warships. Several correspondents report that for the first time Germans in France are resorting to fiendish booby-traps, mining the bodies of dead comrades.
