Civil War Reigns Throughout Serbia
LONDON, Nov. 16. The Belgrade newspaper “Obnova" says that civil war reigns in Serbia and mass arrests of hostages have been made. In a 60-hour battle in central Serbia between Serbian volunteers and Government troops, 103 volunteers and ten Government soldiers were killed. The Yugoslav Government in London learned that the Germans in the past two weeks shot 2300 civilians at Kragujevac in Serbia. They include many schoolboys, many intellectuals and a prominent priest, Jovan Knezevic, brother of one of the Yugoslav Ministers in London. The executions were a reprisal for the killing of 26 German soldiers.
