MASS EXECUTIONS
BELGRADE CITIZENS ALLEGED REVOLT PLOT PATRIOT’S GRIM BATTLE (11.30 a.m.) ISTANBUL, Oct. 16. Mass executions followed the publication of a communique in Belgrade on October 10, disclosing that numerous arrests had been made after the discovery of a “widespread insurrectionary movement.” Five hundred people of Belgrade are believed to have been executed. It is revealed from Sarajevo that General Mikhailovitch’s Yugoslav patriots in July were engaged in a see-saw battle centred on the mining town of Kupres, with a population of 25,000, and also at Forcha, on the south bank of the Drina River, with a population of 20,000. Both towns were severely battered as a result of artillery fire from both sides. The entire mining installations at Kupres were destroyed, including the Zenica steel-works, which were manufacturing for the Axis.
