Emperor's reason for his action, one OF
which is that the Kaiser favors Brusewitz

The long pending suit of Captain Won
Straubeck against the Brothers Otto ana
Hugo Dammarch for having made false
accusations against him has been settleo.
The case grew out OF remarks mace oy

part of the military officers toward their
soldiers and asserted that the conduct of
Captain Won Straubeck furnished an ex-

Herr Bebel quoted the Brothers Dam
march as authority for the assertions he
had made.
Captain vop Stranbeck publicly denied
the charges made against him and caused
warrants to be issued for the arrest OF the
Dammarch brothers. Otto fled when he
heard of the issuance OF the warrants, out

showed that although Captain Straubeck
was a martinez, he had not struck his
men.

riage with another vehicle, while going
from his office to his house, on the night
