Gestapo Does Overtime In Arresting Germans

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" AMSTERDAM, Dec. 12 (Reuter).-A wave of new arrests by the Gestapo is reported.

The newspaper, "Hatvolk," says that anyone in Germany formerly belonging to any opposition party is liable to arrest. Victims include not only a number of former functionaries of the local Democratic parties, but also army officers,

It is reported that in Berlin alone arrests are estimated nt 4,000, while news of mass arrests comes from Leipzig,

Dresden, Hanover and especially from the armament manu- facturing districts.

It is stated that the victims are so numerous that there is no room for them in the concentration camps.

Communists are only arrested in exceptional cases. The purge is reported to have spread to the ranks of the older Storm Troopers and even includes some police officials,
