 The Fist victim of the German re- prisal campaign in France, was An. dre Sylvain, a farmer, accused of stealing German carbine and some cartridges.
 The former mayor ov Prague who was sentenced to death was pr. Otokar Klapka, who is also Q former deputy in the CzechoSlovak parlia- ment.
 Russia's ofticial news agency Tass reported the outbreak of sabotage in Denmark, whose people hitherto had opposed the Germans by tgnoring them.
 Tass said that for two weeks sabo- teurs had been active, especially against the food industry supplying the German army. It said large fires had broken cut in German stores and large supplies of sugar, alcohol and timed meat had been destroyed ct Copenhagen, the capl. tai and Odense. It reported on ex. jlosion at an alcohol store at Alborg. said large quantities of food ear- marked for Germany had been damaged or spoiled, that salt had been mixed with big supplies of sugar and that Danish patriots fs'::, derailed a sugar and f. .... tram. It said numerous sugar and food fc- tory workers had been arrested. IA Czech Executed
 Czechoslovak ofacials % London said total of IA Czechs had been put to death by the Germans since Sunday and that ll0 were under or. rest. Judges, business men and farmers were among the victims, they reported.
 Croat and Italian officials ct za- greb, in occupied JugoslaviA, aIl- nounced that in future 10 Com munists" would be executed for each terroristic act which resulted in the death of one or more persons. unless the attackers were arrested within 10 days.
 The United Press listening post at London heard the German radio again warning Germans not to list- en to foreign broadcasts. It said that even the death penalty had not prevented some persons from Msten- ing to British broadcasts.
 Tt is unfair to listen to foreign news broadcasts," the German ra. dio said. And 1t is disrespectful to the F'uehrer.
 Diplomatic and allied sources in London had predicted, c few hours before the announcement of the German repression campaign in Belgium, that the Germans would start a mercilesS regime "of whip, firing squad and moose" throughout occupied Europe in e desperate at- tempt to stop the front-behind-the- front army which they said was se- riously threatening war production, the weak link in the German war machine.
 Anticipating such . campaign. the British radio began an extensive series of broadcasts in all continen- tai languages, warning saboteurs, including the many secret agents involved in the W" campaign, tD be cautious and to make no overt move which would give the Germans an excuse to start mass executions.
 It is asserted here that, operating against the Germans now, are the most highly trained and efficient saboteurs the world has seen. Inc formantS say the allies have in- structed them by underground routes in all kinds of sabotage, es- pecially that such as Russian rev- olutionists engaged in under the CzarS.
 It was said that there were now veritable schools for sabOteurs throughout occupied territory in which determined men, ready to pay with their lives if caught, were instructed in sabotage and espion- age and Ego slow factory methods.
