ALSACE-LORRAINE
CERMANISATION EFFORTS
LONDON, November 28.
Strasbourg and Mulhouse are being depopulated following Germany's dx*astic action to procure the complete Germanisation of Alsace-Lorraine, says the correspondent of /the "Daily Express" on the French frontier. Large numbers of French people are being deported to the Silesian mines. Only those with German parentage and avowed German sympathies are allowed to remain. Mass executions failed to check the resistance of the population. Hundreds of Alsatians fled to France to avoid mobilisation in the German army, but their families are now being deported as a reprisal. German squads are ranging the country, collecting all available raw materials. Strasbourg cathedral has become a depot for military equipment, and many other churches have been cony rnandeered and hundreds of priests imprisoned. The population must surrender 25 per cent, of all their wages to German charities.
