STRONGLY RESISTED
GERMAN MOBILISATION OF DUTCHMEN ' DEMONSTRATIONS ENABLE MANY TO ESCAPE. MUCH DAMAGE BEING DONE BY SABOTEURS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.42 a.m.) RUGBY, June 7. All non-commissioned officers and men of the former Dutch Army, ordered by the Germans to register by April 29 in preparation for their reimprisonment, have now been ordered to report immediately to the German military ‘■authorities in Amsterdam, with minimum personal belongings. Only those in possession of certificates declaring that they are doing essential work for the Germans are exempted. It is learned in Dutch circles in London that when men compulsorily mobilised had been dragged forcibly to railway stations, mass demonstrations prevented the departure of trains and gave those mobilised an opportunity of escaping and of joining partisan groups. Increasing damage is also being inflicted on the German war machine by sabotage by franc-tireurs. One of the most important bauxite mines was so completely destroyed by partisans that production has been paralysed for at least six months.
