UNDER NAZI YOKE.
GUERNSEY ISLANDERS
LONDON, Sept. 27
According to eight Guernsey dents who landed on the South Coast after a daring escape, the Germans are allowing most of the inhabitants of the island to carry on their jobs at a fiat •rate of 30s a week for bachelors and 38s for married men, with an allowance for each child. The Germans arc exaggeratedly courteous, endeavouring to win the islanders over to the. Nazi cause, but the shadow of the Gestapo is over all. Fifteen years’ imprisonment is the penalty for speaking slightingly of German soldiers. - Rationing is increasingly severe. Two ounces of butter and sixpence worth of meat are allowed weekly. Bread is made from potatoes and something like chaff. The Guernsey newspapers are bilingual and contain short German lessons daily. The sale of spirits is banned.
