German Official Of high rank murdered
his servant girl. He was tired and SEN
fenced to some punishment. The sentence
was submitted to the kaiser and he re-
fused to sanction 1t, because the penalty
was not sufficiently severe. few years
ago nothing would ever have been done
about such a murder at all. but now the
German emperor feels that his standing

Bishop Hartzell was also greatly pleas
