NAZI BANDITRY

SEIZURE OF PROPERTY OF DUTCH ROYAL FAMILY. MURDER AND PERSECUTION IN OCCUPIED COUNTRIES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, September 16. The German Commissioner for Security in the Netherlands is confiscating all property belonging to the Dutch Royal Family, under a decree providing for the confiscation of the property of persons fostering anti-German sentiments. Announcing this, the German News Agency said: “The former Queen Wilhelmina, from afar, heaps insults on the head of the Reich and the German Army, while exhorting Netherlanders to deeds of violence against those in occupation.” The British United Press Stockholm correspondent learns reliably that a thousand Norwegian municipal officers and several thousand others have been arrested under recent, emergency orders. A Swiss report says those recently arrested in Oslo include leading members of the editorial staffs of the “Aftenposten,” “Morgenbladet,” and “Dagbladet,” who have been sent to a concentration camp. The Paris radio announced that the Germans shot another ten French hostages, of ages ranging from nineteen years to 62, as a reprisal for acts of aggression on September 9, 10 and 11.
