BERLIN, April 18—The German high command reported today that a British attempt to land troops at Herjangsfjord, -on the Norwegian coast a few miled north of Narvik, had been repulsed yesterday by the Nazi expeditionary force. A communique said: “In the Narvik region, a small British force attempted on April 17 for the first time to land at Her- jangsfjord near Elvegardsmoen. The effort was repulsed by German troops stationed there. “In the coutse of April 17 the British air force made attacks upon Trondheim which were completely without success because of the timely German defense. “In the Bergen region the day passed quietly. Stavanger was bombarded on the morning of April 17 by a British cruiser from a great distance. Four of our own airplanes were damaged as a result by flying fragments. “German battle planes thereupon attacked the cruiser and several other naval units standing farther north. One cruiser, as already re- ported, was struck directly by a bomb of the largest caliber and sank immediately. In addition, a total of | four direct hits were registered by heavy and largest caliber bombs on light and heavy cruisers. Ome de- stroyer was hit by a bomb of heavi- est_caliber. “The cruisers involved included ships of the Suffolk and London classes.

War on Rats fo Reach Climax Safurday .A large number of Washington’s rats will be lquidated Saturday, through efforts of religious young people. About 50 young men and women from Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church and the Temple Center will gather at 9 am. Saturday at the center, Tenth and M streets N.W., to mix rat poison. Armed with the poison, which is to be amalgamated with hamburger, fish and oatmeal, they will circulate from door to door throughout the downtown neighborhood, offering extermination.
