WILD SCENES
AT DEPARTURE OF “SLAVE TRAINS” FROM FRANCE. WOMEN THROW THEMSELVES ON LINE. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 9. Scenes are becoming more frequent and wilder as “slave trains" leave French railway stations for Germany, reports the “Daily Mail's” correspondent on the French frontier.
Women at one station threw themselves in front of a train in a human rampart, which had to be cleared away before the miserable convoy could proceed. When two trains with 800 Frenchmen recently left one Paris station, there was a roar of protest and fists were raised. Police were injured during a scuffle with demonstrators outside the station. The crowd carried crepe-bordered banners, bearing slogans: “You aren’t slaves.” “Down with Laval!”
