PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1939. E ISI BATTLE LI Junction of German, French And Luxembourg Borders Receives Heavy Shelling Berlin. Nov. 21. (IP) French artillery abruptly ended a 35- hour silence on the western front today with heavy shelling in the Perl sector, at the junc tion of the German, French and Luxembourg borders, the offic ial German news agency re ported. The agency, DNB, said the rest of the 100-mile western front sector between the Moselle and the Rhine rivers was quiet. On the upper Rhine front, French searchlight batteries were active during the night at several points. DNB interpreted this as due to "the enemy's nervousness." The agency said there was heavier rifle and anti-tank fire here, and floods had forced the French to clear out of some bunkers. Airmen Gel Results Reconnaissance flights of the German air force over France and England during the past few days have yielded "import ant results," DNB said. The agency reported "ineffective ness" of French anti-aircraft fire and said that British chasers southeast of London did not hamper German reconnaissance. DNB said the enemy did lit tle reconnoitering yesterday, as German pursuit planes met no enemy planes over German ter ritory. (A German plane reached the outskirts of London Monday for the first time in the war. The British reported chasing it out to sea. Additional German craft flew over southeast England to day, one of them, the British air ministry said, being shot down by royal air force fighters over the east coast).
