HAVE FOUND OUT wEGENER.
What Eastern German Papers Now Say
OF Craemer Case.

Recent issues OF the Eastern German pa
pers show that the answer OF f. Christ
mann TO the appeal OF o. +. Wegener on
behalf OF Henry Craemer has caused a
great revulsion Of feeling on the subject.
The Philadelphia Sontagss Gazette reprints
nearly the whole OF Mr.. Christmann's ar
tlcle and. after referring IN sarcastic
terms 10 the mass meeting OF Germans
called by It's contemporary. the Demokrat,
says:
1T appeared singular to the Gazette that
the Germans Of the far West should leave
in the lurch a helpless German. who had
been untustly condemned. so that he found
Il necessary TO turn TO the East for help.
The Germans Of the West stand by one an
other much more closely than here. and
do not keep their purses closed If there is
a call for help in a case OF actual need. We
therefore turned 10 Seattle 10 learn more
about this case.
The Gazette then tells The effect OF read
Ing Mr.. Chr.stmaun's article, and goes on
10 condemn the Demokrat for taking up
Wegener's appeal and to accuse ii OF
using the case for advertising purposes.
Der Western. a paper published by the
Illinois Stats ZeitUng, the leading Ger
man paper OF the Middle states, also
speaks IN similar terms or the case. After
recalling the fact that Il had published
wegener's appeal. Il says:
We did so not without misgiVings, not
because we would not readily have extend
cd a helping hand TO an innocent convict
no matter CT what nationality. but be-
cause We had not a full knowledge OF the
facts and because experience has taught US
that national sentiment IS not always
safe guide in such matters" After recall
ing several similar eases and giving the
substance Of Mr. Wegeners claims. Il
says:
INSTEAD Of this. there now appears IN
the German Seattle Demokrat a consistent
presentation OF the case. which may he

WALLER TO BE FREED
Along With a Batch Of Other
Madagascar Offenders.
UNDER a DECREE or AMNESTY.
American State Department Has Not
Helped the Ex-Con-ul-France ke-
fuses to- Produce the Record.

Washington City. Nov. 2o.-Although The
state department absolutely refuses 10 con-
firm or de9y a report that the French gov
eminent has refused 10 furnish the record
IN the Waller case. some difficulty, il Is
known, has been encountered IN procuring
this document Just what the nature or
The trouble is cannot be learned. hut Il is
understood that the application for the re-
cord is not regarded by the French gov
eminent as a matter of right 70 the United
States. and Il Is assumed that II our appi-
cation takes more the shape OF request
than q demand the necessary documents
may be forthcoming.
Meanwhile the Waller case Itself may be
suddenly settled. so far as the liberation
OF Waller Is concerned, BY the voluntary
action of the French government, as word
has come here from official sources 10 the
effect that It Is contemplated to proclaim
amnesty for all political prisoners taken
In Madagascar. which would include Wal
Ter. unless some special notice be taken
OF his case and claim.
