Outstanding in today’s de- velopments in the British side of the war picture the an- ;nouncement made here that Scot- land Yards had made several arrests of persons engaged Trojan Horse activities. While much information was withheld, the conspirators taken into custody were said to have been caught setting buildings in this city on fire to direct the German bombers to central and industrial portions of the metrop- olis. Hundreds of planes came over from French and Holland bases today, but, in all cases, the at- tacks were met by stiff resist- ance.

Very little traffic disruption occurred in the nation’s capital city this morning and it appears that, at least for the time being, the Nazis have chosen to stay away from the anti-aircraft bat- : teries surrounding the city. German high command admit- ted that the R. A. F. planes had created increasing damage in the industrial area of Ger- many, but failed to release ex- tent of British raids. Rumors from the Balkan theater of war were disturbing again this morning, dispatches here stating that it is now be- lieved Rumania will be forced to turn over Transylvania, with its population of 100,000, to Hun- gary. Axis powers, in conference at Viennaa failed to substantiate that move, but indicated that members of the duo-nation, con- trolling factions, were exerting every effort to ward off break- ing out of major conflict in that near-east sector. Italian claims bombings with resultant damage to British bases in Africa, es- pecially at Suez canal strong- holds, were received here. Coun- ter claims of raids on Italian strongholds by the British forces on the Mediterranean were made.
