1t Is impossible to determine the
truth OF these accusations and counter
charges. but It is commonly reported
that up to tho present time forty-three
private citizens have been shot by the
Germans. while II fine OF 100000 francs
was levied on the town. Later this
fine was doubled. and the money to
pay 1t was collected by the daughters
of Il number OF prominent citizens who,
In a house to house canvass, raised the
amount in cash.
The city is under strict military law.
and the Mayor and six leading citizens
are obliged to reside In the Town Hall
as hostages.
Since November no one has been
allowed to leave the northern part of
