Berlin, June 2.
The German authorities are demobilizing half the Dutch army immediately with the intention of enabling them to contribute to Germany's war effort.
An order by Herr Hitler says the measure chiefly affects members of Dutch forces who are formally engaged in agriculture, mining, food industry, building and trade, and similar branches.
These regulations also apply to Dutch soldiers who are prisoners of war.—Reuter.
