DUSSELDORF.—Bochum, Tuesday, is almost com
pletely isolated from the rest of the Bhur as a result of
the recent bomb throwing.
Street traffic has been suspended and all restaurants
and moving picture shows and other places of amuse
ment and public assembly have been tightly closed and
may remain so for some time.
French authorities have allowed the German city
officials until July 20 tc produce the person or persons
who threw a bomb from a street car in this city Sunday
afternoon.
| Should tho German officials fall
tc comply with this demand, more
stringent measures will ho un
dertaken by tbo French to force
the Germans to surrender the gull-
ty party or parties.
Belgian authorities at Oladheck
have arrested forty-eight cltlgon*
of that city, all of them prominent
personages, to ride on the military
trains as hostages to guard against
further display of sabotago on the
railways.
The bomb which was thrown
from the street ear Sunday after
noon In Bochum, exploded In h
huge automobile parking elation
at Weltmar, a suburb of Bochum.
Sovoral citizens, Including the
bead buorgomaster and a number of
other city officials, were placed
under aixeat Immediately following
the bomb explosion, but nil were
released shortly afterwards.
What methods of reprisal the
French will lake In tho event that
the persona who throw the bomb
Is not delivered over to them hv
