SAVAGE REPRISALS
London, Jan. 22. The Germans have executed 70 Poles for the death of a German policeman who was shot while checking identity cards on a train near Radom, reports the Polish telegraph agency. The Germans first hanged 10 of the train’s passengers and a fortnight later publicly hanged 40 Poles, including women. Fifteen at a factory were hanged. The Swedish Press Bureau says the Germans have deported 14 American women from Norway to the Leibenau concentration camp, near the German-Swiss frontier, as a reprisal for the alleged maltreatment of German citizens in America.
