Foreign News: Violence

• Share

Events show a marked tendency to violence, but on the whole nothing disastrous has occurred—accepting the situation as it stands. The French and Belgians have been very active. Prosecutions have been carried out on a large scale. Almost the whole of the Bochum Municipal Council was arrested for disobedience to French orders, but with certain exceptions they have been released. More than a thousand people have been arrested, and in most cases sentenced or fined for boycotting the troops.
