Essen. The explosion of a time
bomb destroyed the lock of the Dortmund-Ems
canal near Heine. The
canal was blocked, seriously interfer
ing with the complicated inland water
way traffic in the Ruhr.
This is the most serious case of
sabotage yet reported on the Ruhr
wrterways. The lock destroyed is
near the junction of the Dortmund
Ems canal with the main canal that
runs down to the Rhine at Duisberg
and Ruhrort, where the world's largest
inland port :s located.
The intention of the dynamiters ap
parently was not to block the canal,
but to drain the water from the main
Rhine-Heine canal, which is the main
waterway artery of the Ruhr. The
French say this main canal has not
been interfered with, as the locks on
both sides of the one which was dyna
mited were closed immediately after
the explosion to prevent the drain
ing of the main canal.

to act similarly was called into uues
