MAYOR TELLS HOW FRENCH CITY IS HELD UNDER YOKE

WASHINGTON, Oct 19. The dignity and nobility with which officials of the stricken city of Lille, France, have met the extortionate demands of their German masters is revealed in a letter from Charles De La Salle, mayor of that city to the German general in chief. Von Gravenitz. a copy of which has reached here. The mayor wrote: "Your letter is at hand. It causes me very great surprise. Hardly had we repaid the balance of the imposed tax of 24.000,000 when you asked for a new payment of 33.000,000. During the fist year of your occupancy, when Lille was still in possession of the greater part of its resources, yoa claimed the sum of 28,000,000: during the second year the sum of thirty millions, and during the third year, when the city was in dire distress yoa doubled the tribute and raised It to sixty millions. "Such heavy demands are as extor

tionate as they are unjustified. They

are contrary to the spirit ana letter oi The Hague conventions. They are In absolute contradiction with the commentary that the German general staff made in this convention as I pointed out In my last year's correspondence. "These contributions, established without any justification, rest on the most absolute basis. . Instead of decreasing they increased in proportion as requisitioned ruin and devastation aro piled upon this unfortunate city. In fact, you threatened us with the most severe punishment in case ol reslstence to your will and especially with a fine of a million per day for delav TTnrier these conditions, if only

my personal safety and that of a few

officials were ImDerilled. 1 would not

hesitate emphatically to refuse de

mands which seemed to me to De an abuse by force and violence of right But the fate of a population weakened by three years of privation is at stake and I have not the courage to expose it to new cruelties. "In consequence I beg to state in the name of the municipal council which I renresent. that the city of Lille, curbed

under the yoke, isolated from the world, unable to appeal to any court

against the arbitrary power or wnicn she is the victim, will pay the new contributions on the dates indicated, but she will pay them under duress."

British Navy Hit For Allowing Foe to Get Riga Gulf

LONDON, Oct. 19 The Daily Mail condemns what it calls the failure of the British fleet to prevent the German fleet from becoming master of ihe Gulf of Riga and demands that "the admiralty make an explanation of this humiliating display5 in the Baltic." After recalling the successes of the British submarines against the Germans In the Baltic In the summer and autumn of 1915. the newspaper adds: "The Germans have accomplished all they were prevented from accomplishing in 1915 and they have done so without a single blow being struck at them by any arm of the British navy, a navy far stronger than it was two years aeo and recently reinforced by the addition of the American fleet."

Russ General Fools His Enemies and Gets to England LONDON, Oct. 19. General Gurko, former commander on the Russian southwestern front, has arrived in England with his wife on board a British ship. The correspondent of the Daily Express, who travelled on the same boat, says that the ship was lying at the entrance to the river outside the port of Archangel, awaiting orders to depart for England, when late at night a tug stole silently alongside and two unidentified passengers walked up the companion ladder. They registered under assumed names and it was not until several days later that their identity was established by a few of the other passengers. "How General Gurko evaded his enemies at Petrograd," the correspondent says, "and reach Archangel; how he found friends and remained in retirement in Archangel must remain a secret."
