THE MILITARY SENTENCES

Arcus? General Indignation. LONDON, May 8. The majority of the London newspapers received the news of the Krupp sentences too late for comment. The “Daily Chronicle” says th? sentences fully take one’s breath away. Solemnly to pretend that blame for the massacre is on the side of the massacred is to challenge not only the feeling of Germany but the conscience of all the world. How can peace for Europe, security for France or civilisation for mankind be compatible with such courses? The “Daily Express’s” Berlin correspondent reports that the sentences aroused general indignation. Dr Sorge, president of the Union of Industrialists, and Krupps’ Berlin representative, declares: “It is now impossible for German industrialists to co-operate with the French. The sentence is an indignity!” LONDON, May 9. Advices from Berlin state that Herr Krupp and other directors have been removed to Dusseldorf. They have given notice of appeal ’PARTS, May 10. Sentences of four to five years’ imprisonment were passed by th? M: yence Court-martial on high German railway officials charged with inciting railway workers in the Ruhr to resist the orders of the French.
