REPORTED MUTINY
4000 GERMAN SOLDIERS TROUBLE ST DENMARK (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (10.55) STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5. It is reported that 4000 German soldiers were imprisoned for mutiny at Alta, in Eastern Denmark, where a court-martial cashiered and sentenced to death 17 officers and 43 soldiers. Many German soldiers have allowed Russian prisoners to escape, also some are- reported to have fled to Russia. It was reported recently that 1000 German soldiers in the Folkviljan district were sent to a concentration camp in Northern Norway because they “lacked the will to fight.” According to the Official Wireless, the incorporation of Northern Slovenia into the German Reich as from October 1 and the introduction of conscription for all former Yugoslav subjects there for the German army and labour force has been announced by the local German gauleiter. The inhabitants have to learn the German language and are expected to denounce to the German authorities all acts of sabotage and underground activities. The penalties for nonfulfilment of duties to the Reich include expulsion from homes and confiscation of property, and, in grave cases, shooting.
