Own Refugees
BY c. r. CUNNINGHAM

WEHOFEN, NEAR DUlSBURG,
Germany, March 81. Delayed (UP)
German machine gunners raked
the crowded entrances of an aoan-
doned coal mine to prevent the
surrender of 1000 of their own civil
ians who had huddled inside with
out food and water for four days
and nights.
These civilians, mostly old men,
women, and children who had been
trapped in a no-man's land, still are
living in the mine.
At least 10 of their number had
been killed. Some were dying. Some
were pregnant women already in
labor. All were weak from hunger.
The Germans committed the
atrocity last Saturday when an Am
erican infantry company of the 10Th
Division swung in for the kill on the
heavily defended mining area.
TRIED TO SURRENDER
When the Americans opened a
huge bombardment preceding the
Rhine crossing the mine workers,
their wives and children sought
shelter in the old mine, huge Stag
heap under which the Germans had
built three long concrete tunnels
as an air raid shelter.
German troops fell back south of
the town as the infantrymen, led by
Capt. George Dale of Live Oak, Flor
ida attacked. From their new line
the Germans could see both the
Americans and the terrified civil
ians.
The civilians, knowing the Am
ericans were surrounding their Stag
heap, started to run out waving
white sheet. Batteries of German
machine guns raked the entrances,
telling at least 10.
The civilians scrambled back and
Dale's company moved on not know
ing they were there.
NURSE WOUNDED
After another day in the mine,
the civilians delegated German Red
Cross nurse Anna HusS to try to
reach the American lines. AS she
started, a German patrol fired an
other machine gun round and shout
ed that the people were traitors.
The nurse, wounded in the left
thigh, finally reached the American
lines and reported the plight of the
civilians. Military government Of
flcials returned with her
I visited the mine and talked with
Maj. William NJ Kane of Ardmore,
Pennsylvania in charge of the mill
tary government staff. He said in
the area outside there was only one
pump which was furnishing water
barely sufficient for the children
inside.
