HUNS LOOTED LILLE
OF ALL MACHINERY
Aimed to Destroy Industrial Life,
Even for Future.

London, Oct. 1S.-A graphic descrip-
ton is given of how the Germans set
about the destruction of the indus
tries of Lille. which was an important
point of the French economic life.
Not only did the invaders comman-
deer all stocks, but they ripped the
machinery out OF the factories and
shipped 1t to Germany. There are
cases in which France. upon buying
machinery in Switzerland, has found
that it was part of the loot taken
from the factories of Lille and sold
by the Germans.
No doubt many more of these ma
chimes have been set up in Germany
to be used after the war. They sought
to destroy not only the present but
the future of the town and its work.
