CONFIDENT OF BRITISH VICTORY

ESCAPED LUXEMBURGERS Rugby, Sept. 22. Foreign Minister Beck and a Lux-1 emburger who recently escaped from ■ the Germans have given an account ■ of enemy repression in the Duchy. I The German answer to a general strike following the unwanted gift of German citizenship was brutal repression and a death sentence against the. country. M. Beck said that when the Ger-1 mans marched in their efforts were j concentrated on a formation of a few, 1 well disciplined, courageous agents. Many of these, had already died at the hands of the enemy. The aims of the Luxemburg Patriotic League were to

group all active patriots, unify resistance. organise sabotage and spread defeatism among the Germans. “We have established black lists of a few Quislings and traitors, and even prepared measures to be taken at the moment of the German defeat,” he said. “The influence of the league is immense. Our people look to England as the champion of all smaller peoples, and are confident that the victory of Britain will restore them their freedom and independence.”— 8.0.W.
