0 The Terror in Bohemia "Daily Telegraph" publishes details of the regime in Bohemia and Moravia and the dissatisfaction it has caused. The Gestapo claimed that revolutionary orga= nisations had been formed. Mass arrests of former officers, students and clergy took place there. Searches have been carried out in Kirchen and Monasteries, and property confiscated. Throughout the Protectorate, all women and men from 15 to 70 years of forced labour are forced to do so. In Prague, there is a lack of raw materials to be delivered from Germany. Numerous workers have been arrested in the Stoda Works. Even the Germans are dissatisfied with the regime. They look back at the Nazis who came from Germany. Morals are also bad with the troops. Bavarian soldiers recently shouted for a meal in the city: Long live the Repu blik, long live the Bahern, long lives the Desterreich. The next day these soldiers were sent on holiday to Germany=land. At the station, however, they learned that they had to leave the front in Echteit nadh. Thereupon there were rallies at the station and the Gestapo had to intervene. (Fournier.)
