Authorized sources claimed that the largest Scandinavian State, and the only one still neutral, is under pressure from Great Britain and FTunce and expressed “ap- Drohenslon" because of this fact.

British Break-Through At Storen —— Norwegian Commander Says Time For Withdraw Over.

STOCRHOLM, April 26—(l"riday)—(AP)—'I‘he Ger- mans have abandoned Roros. which they sci1ed for n few hours yesierdzijv, and are digging in at Tolgzi, 15 miles to the south in the Ostcrdzilen Valley, Swedish newspaper correspondents reported early today.

The Germain retreat was ascribed to the need for hasty fortification. ivhich the terrain at Roros does notfavci‘. ‘Another cause also appeared to lie a British zidvaince SUUl-ll in the Gudbrandsdalen Valley to the west, threatening" to outflzink the Germans’ extended positions.

BRITISH BREAK THROUGH

The correspondent of the Swedish newspaper Dtzacns Nylteler reported that the British have broken through at Storen, and are now in position there to lilock any (lcrnum advance from Roros, or up the Gudbrandstialen Valley to reinforce German-held 'l‘rondheim 0n the west coast.

These British troops, after landing at Andalsnes, south of Trondheim, took a northern route to Storen. where they repulsed a German force from ’l‘i'ondheim, and

M perhaps prevented their striking a more telling blow at a invasion of some neutrals, are active participation British force from Nzimsos to the north of Trondheim.

The British then turned and united with some of the iNorivegiains retreating through ltoros, in the (lstcrdalen l Valley, 70 miles southeast of Trondheim. The Germans, striking swiftly from Oslo through i Rena up the Osterdalen Valley and through Liilehaimniei ‘up the Gudbrandsdalen Valley, yesterday reached Roma and ltlngcliu, 1S0 and 110 miles respectively north of the capital. ‘

They appeared headed on parallel routes for 'l‘rond- helm to prevent i1 Norwegian-Allied drive to encircle that strategic German base.

But late yesterday the British were reported at Storen, 35 miles southeast of Trondheim, astride the Gudbrantis- daien and Oslerrlailcn Valley rail lines that converge there before entering 'l‘rondlielm.

There was heavy fighting at Tolga last night, with. heavy artillery and air for- ccs participating, and Tolga was reported badly bombed.

But whether the fighting took plaice as the Norweg- ians retreated to Roms or as they chased the Germans back to Tolga was not clear in advices filtering across the Swedish frontier.
