Timber Products Company Localized Action Aimed At Recovery of Few German Areas Held By The French By Roy P. Porter Paris, Oct. 24 (AP) French military commentators reported today three German assaults on a German village held by French outposts in the Warndt Forest had been repulsed. Patrol attacks on the village, which was not identified, coin cided with increasing German pressure on the French lines last night, they said. Action Localiied It was emphasized the action was localized, being one of a series of raids in which the Nazi troops were aiming at recovery of the few remaining portions of German soil held by the French. Military dispatches said the French also made a raid, seizing a German post cast of the Mo selle river, taking several pris oners and capturing a machine gun. A French ambush north of Forbach brought capture of a German lieutenant of artillery. While the French strength ened their Moselle outposts near the Luxembourg border, the Rhine front was reported com pletely calm. Military dispatches said the French long had feared a pos sible German attempt to storm the frontier town of Apach and then to cross the Moselle west ward to strike the MaginiJt de fenses where they are admit tedly the weakest. Pressure Applied German pressure after five days of almost dead calm on the western front was reported last night brisk skirmishes bv small patrols along the north ern or Rhinc-to-MosclIe flank but apparently this activity de veloped no great momentum. This morning's communique remarked succinctly, "no no- table activity during the night." lhe trench forces captured several German prisoners yes terday, dispatches said, and ob tained "valuable" information concerning lines in the Saar land. The population of Albania is chiefly Mohammedan, the pop ulation having been converted from Christianity.

After six days of testimonv in the 1937 proceedings, Fchl was held insane and dangerous to be at large and was com mitted to the state hospital. Findings of the lower court were afterwards affirmed by the state supreme court. Appeal Taken The present action is based .ipon an asserted appeal of Fehl, from the county court, where the insanity proceedings were instituted to the circuit court, according to Deputy District At torney George W. Njeilson. Argument upon the current motion was deferred pending appointment at another judge by the state supreme court. Cir cuit Judge H. D. Norton is dis qualified from sitting on the case.
