GERMAN ATROCITIES.
SHOCKING OUTRAGES IN FRANCE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received April 19. 8.50 a.m. PARIS, April 18. The commission which is investigating German atrocities in reconquered France reports that systematic methods were used to reduce the citizens to servitude. Women and girls were raped, and homes, towns, industries trees, and implements destroyed, with the evident object of inspiring terror- in some places the enemy wrecked beds and chests, and everything; available was carried away, while loathsome and unprintable acts were done on the altars in some churches.
