WHEN PARIS WAS CAPTURED
HOW FRANCE WAS TO BE BROUGHT TO HEEL. PARIS, 6th March. Le Matin states that the Germans, expecting an easy capture of Paris, divided the city into seven sectors, each of which was to receive a garrison of one hundred thousand men. The Kaiser was to head an army of one and a half million before the fallen city, and was to propose a truce, and that the French Government return from the provinces and be told that her soldiers and sailors must invade England. If France refused, one of the sectors was to be sacked, the public monuments destroyed, and the banks and private houses pillaged. After this example, a fresh ultimatum was to be presented, and if refused, the second sector was to b© handed over to the military. Germany believed that Russia's ammunition would not last for another three months.
