POLICE USE DOGS
DISPERSAL OF LOOTERS IN HAMBURG (Rec. 2 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 4. a The German police unleashed Alsatian dogs to disperse thousands of coal looters in Hamburg, says Reuter’s correspondent. The police during the week arrested 4563 for looting in the railway coal yards. They arrested more than 2000 in the previous week, and the prisons are insufficient to house all those arrested. Miners’ wives in the Ruhr picketed two Duisberg pits, urging their menfolk not to work until bread rations are assured.
Resolutions appealing 'to the “world’s conscience” have been prepared for reading in the churches of four Ruhr towns next Sunday. Eight S.S. men awaiting trial in the Dachau internment camp tried to escape to-day. One was killed, five were recaptured, and two escaped.
