ARMY MANOEUVRES. Newspapers Have Suddenly Become Silent. AUTHORITIES ALARMED ? / — United Pkm Association.—Copyright. (Received 0.30 e.m.) BERLIN, August 15. The newspapers have suddenly stopped mentioning the manoeuvres. The authorities appear alarmed over the prominence given in foreign newspapers to the preparations. The weakness on the .Berlin Bourse has been renewed. Quotations for all kinds of shares declined. Bulk offerings were received from big business concerns short of ready money owing to the growing tightness of the money market.
WORKERS ARRESTED.
500 Apprehended After Clash
With Secret Police.
FORCED LABOUR HARDSHIPS
LONDON, August 15,
Five hundred German workers are reported to have been arrested in German Upper Silesia after a clash with the Gestapo (German secret police) following the distribution of antiNazi leaflets denouncing the new fortification activities occurring there, and the hardships imposed upon the local population, peasant and worker alike, by forced labour in warlike conditions, says the Warsaw correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph." One worker is reported to have been killed. Most of those arrested have already been in German concentrationcamps or prisons on charges of sabotage.
