The crew of the motor launched, the C-8142 of Dorchester, escaped after | dumping their cargo yesterday. The| launch was seized by customs men and police. Forty cases were recovered im- mediately after customs men, on re- ceipt of an anonymous tip, arrived at the river mouth. Approximately 200 more cases were recovered today. i During a search of the river banks last night three shots were fired, one of them almost landing in a crowd of 75| bystanders. Police searched adjacent woods and found John Foreseythe, who, they said, carried a revolver with three empty chambers. The weapon was taken from him and he was.sent home.

One of them was killed and several wounded when they stormed the cathedral and sniped at police from the roof. Others stood on streets and balconies and beseeched their men with tears to come home.

Sir Hubert Wilkins' radio operator was contacted by the meteorological station at Tromsoe yesterday and they | “talked” for 20 minutes. The com- mander of the expedition reported that all aboard were well and sent greetings of assurance to his friends.

The good news brought an end to mounting anxiety in shipping circles jand caused the concellation of plans to start by sea and by air on a relief ex- pedition. Capt.

The German surprise offensive of last May, namely, the project for an Austro- German Customs Union, has been form- ally broken by the World Court verdict | and the voluntary renunciation of the | préject by Austria and Germany.

Similarly, the significance of the Aus- tro-German customs union proposal 1is also now fully understood. Virtually all diplomats agree this union would have resulted in the political dominance of Austria by Germany.
