London, Oct. 12—Germany
has imposed a fine of $100,000,000
on Antwerp.
The fine will have to be paid
| under penalty of the destruction
of the city and probably the exe-
cution of its leading men.
The Germans are sure Ant-
werp is able to pay the fine, as
during the last few months most
of the gold of Belgium has been
taken to Antwerp.
