FINES EXTORT LAST
PENNY FROM CIVILLIANS
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
"May 2‘.\, (By Mail).—Germany’s ef
iorts to “Kultur*ze” the occupied
districts of France and Belgium by
the introduction of German ‘‘system
and organization” reached such a
degree that the civil population was
subjected to fines of the most extor
tionate amounts'f their wat- lies and
. locks did not agree to within a
few seconds of the official time as
established by the “Kommandatcur.
Every new town retaken by the
French armies reveals fresh facts
regarding the almost incrediable sy
stem employed by the Germans to
“Germanize” the local inhabitants.
Officers had the right to stop oi
viiian on the street and demand
that he show his watch. If the
hands varied even to the slightest
degree from the “German official
time” as carried by the officer, the
unfortunate civilian was heavily
fined.
Officers could also enter private
houses to look at clocks. If the
latter did not have enough “Ger
! man system and organization” in
their mechanism to register the
hour as fixed by the “Kommanda
teur’, the unfortunate huose owner
was subjected to a fine so severe
tiiat it amounted to confiscation of
property.
While the system of fines origi
nally was ostensibly for the purpose
of bringing the civil population up
to the German standard of “discip
line, system and org uiiza' Ion." this
pretext has now i. an completely
abandoned.
Forced as the Germans now are J
to realize that they cannot hold in- j
definitely the occupied districts ot J
France and Belgium, the fine system ,
is now being used for the open pur- 1
putt of extorting the lost por.ny ti*at
the civil population possesses while!
they still have it in their power to j
enforce the extortion.
At Brussels alone the fines now ■
being imposed ar d^ (dared to amount j
to millions of fruti s eveiy month. |

Lars Gunderson brought up quite

will not work during the summer
because of the fuel problems which
have to be contended against and
the wood shortage which is still of
the dimensions ot a famine.
The dumps are all cleaning up to

ing tlie winter pud there is a na
tural tendency to magnify pans,
that is saying a whole lot.
The miners are all satisfied and
there was lots of activity, specially
in evidence to the stranger visiting
tlie camp.
Thus Captain Wickman declared
that tlie camp was livelier tl> ■
Nome which may have been just a
skipper’s natural enthusiasm. In
any event no wage workers are
needed for there will be a decrease
in work during the summer on ac
count of the fuel shortage.
