SPOILS FOR RUSSIA
STRIPPING OF FACTORIES IN GERMANY London, May 13. “For 30 or 40 miles along the BerlinLeipzig road I saw evidence of the accuracy of reports received in Berlin, but I scarcely credited that the Russians were stripping the German factories in their zone and sending valuable machinery to Russia,’’ says Reuter's Berlin correspondent after visiting Leipzig Fair. The correspondent says that he saw the yard of a huge sugar factory filled with new packing cases full of machinery which German mechanics under Russian supervision, had dismantled. A number of nearby factories were empty shells from which all the machinery had been taken. Gangs of German men and women were digging un electric cables bv the roadside and winding them on new wooden drums for transport to Russia.
