GUERNSEY STRIPPED BY GERMANS
(Received September 18, 8.5 p.m.) LONDON, September 17.
The Guernsey correspondent of The Daily Telegraph says that the Germans are rapidly stripping the island’s shops, especially of jewellery and food. The acceptance of “occupation marks” is compulsory. The local branches of the British “Big Five Banks” have been forced to use them at the rate of seven to the £l. The island’s 6000 motor-cars are immobilized. Supplies of flour are almost exhausted and fresh fruit is unobtainable. The cinemas are showing only German horror films.
