Press Association—Copyright, Austra- . lian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received 12.10 p.rrt.) New'York, July 27. -The following letter, which was Smuggled out of Lille, has been <e.ceived by the New York Times; ‘‘liie Germans deported 10,000 young v-;o----men 'and. girls from Lille, including 5700 girls aged fifteen to twepiv-liv;e, They were rounded up by the Imperial Guard, which surrounded yhq city at three o’clock in the morning and visited all houses and called-the roll. The women were sent to empty workshops, and then herded with weeping and terrified -girls in old carriages and cattle trucks, and the trains steamed off into the night to an unknown destination. The parents are distracted with sorrow and grief, and implore the press of. the world to .publish these facts. These charges were submitted by the American Ambassador at Berlin <to the. German authorities. It is understood they admitted that 1' ranch people had been deported to do agi icultural work, but insist that. < the number is exaggerated.
