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).
