NAZI REPRISALS
NORWAY AND GREECE London, Feb. 27. Eighty-four Belgian coal-miners have been deported to Germany for sabotage. Four Serb soldiers were executed at Trondheim after Germans found dynamite under their barracks. A clandestine Greek newspaper discloses that as a reprisal for the blowing up of a searchlight station at Salamis and the killing of five German soldiers, and an explosion aboard a German warship in the Piraeus, 15 Greeks were taken Io a rifle range and used as a target. When hundreds of people went to the cemcvjry to identify the victims, the Germans arrested 30 and executed three, and left, the bodies hanging in the public square.
