Of the Buer railroad station.
Unrest and discomfort among the
population of the Reckl'nghausen dis
trlct have been smoulderIng for sever
nj days. Feeling was running high on
both sides. The Staying of the French
men is considered the most serious
affair since the occupation of the re-
gi0p began.
General Laingelot, commanding the
district. ordered the arrest of the bur
gomaster of Bner. the assistant burgo-
master. the chief of police and two
other town officials. All Of them are
being held by the French as hostages.
The French authorities asserted that
n penalty OF Mt least f00.eeoe00 marks
would be imposed upon the town of
Buer and public places. No trace has
been found of the slayers of the two
.Frenchmen.
Indications of renewed active resist
ance by the German individuals were
