Evicted
It was announced from Berlin that 106 railwaymen, their families and furniture were evicted from their homes in Trier in ten minutes.
President Ebert, answering a telegram from Trier demanding relief, alludes to " the new German atrocity of the French military forces against women and children who are driven from their homes by African soldiery."
The entire German press is inflamed by the French action and money is being raised all over the country in aid of the victims.
The first reprisal was carried out by the police who appeared with orders from the Berlin municipal housing bureau at the apartment of M. de Villemus, correspondent of the Echo de Paris, in the Friedrichs Wilhelmstrasse and threw him, bag and baggage, into the street.
