STATE OF SIEGE is DECLARED.
BERLIN, Dec. 25.The state of siege is being severely
enforced in Frankfort Letters from Socialists OF that
city say that the possession of prohibited pubca-
tons deemed sufficient for arrest without proof
that the person arrested is connected with secret
society," The Official press defends the present measure
on the ground that discoveries have been made OF
Anarchist plots in industrial centres. They say that
since the murder of officer Rumpf by Leske the police OF
Frankfort traced the ramcatons of an Anarchist
conspiracy to those centres Minister Won Putkamers
circular directing the authorities to prosecute persons
found circulating forbidden publications is construed by
the police to include persons who circulate such
works without knowledge of their contents. The
Progressst papers declare that If the law is applied as
Herr Putkamer directs liberty OF the press through
out Germany will be suppressed even political econo-
miss being debared from free exposition OF SOCIALIST
theories The papers point out that an nldsposed com
missary police arbitrarily arrest men VINO have no
relations with Socialism. and they assert that virtually
Herr Won Puttkamer is trying to establish political
inqusition.

The general verdict upon General
Grants memoirs Is that the book
itself takes its place among the great
histories Of the world. The best crit
les say that he has, without knowing
il, found a style which many famous
historians have sought in vain. 1t Is
straightforward, simple and terse, and
the narrative flows on with An ease
which the most accomplished literary
artist could not hope to surpass. The
reasons for this are not difficult TO
find. He was full Of his subject; he
had no ambition to appear as ''fine
writer. Heleft his style to take care
Of itself, aud the result is a book ABB
solutely devoid Of afTsctation.
