of Ruthless

Horror in Yugoslavia

Reports from very reliable sources on the situation in Yugoslavia tell a long tale of ruthless savagery and horror, says "The Times" correspondent in Istanbul. In all parts of Yugoslavia inhabited by Sarbs, Germans, Hungarians, and Bulgarians are competing with each other in cold-blooded massacres aiming at the extermina- tion of the Serbian people. Since the invasion, exclusive of those killed in actual war operations and air bombing, the number of victims of mass executions amounts to many thousand.

Here are some details. At Vrsatz a priest, Brashovan, a took over the administration of those merchant, Duya Radak, and 28 other persons were hanged; at

Refugees Virtual Prisoners On Board French Steamer

For nearly five months 700 refugees-men, women and children of 15 nationalities were kept virtual prisoners in the French ship Alsina, anchored off Dakar.

Their experiences were re- lated by a Polish mother of three children.

The Alsina left Marseilles for Brazil on January 1 this year, but for an unknown reason was diverted to Dakar.

On board were teachers, musicians, writers, carpenters, shoemakers and clerks.
