THE ALL-POWERFUL
GERMAN POLICEMAN

THE, foreigner in Germany is always
struck by the extraordinary au-
thority and the widely varying duties
conferred upon the police of that coun-
try. In the United States many of the
functions of the German policeman would
be intrusted only TO 4 court of law.
What makes the exercise OF these func-
tlons in Germany still more extraordi-
nary is that in many cases they are per-
formed quite independently ol lle iocdi
government.
The German policeman Is expected not
ONLY to preserve order in the streets, but
10 exercise a far-reacning authority even
in private houses. He WILL for example.

In the long list OF the German police
mans duties appear those of the food
inspector. He must keep an eye on tho
yenders Of food and of medicines. 1t is
no unusual sight in a German town to
see a policeman hold up 4 milkman's

Both men. as he reached them. seized
him in that death-lke vice which, it
seems. only a drowning person can use.
Unable to free himself. he dashed under
the water with them. This broke their
clutch, but as he grasped the shoulders
of one the other grasped him from be-
hind and hung about his neck SO tena-
ciously that he had to submerge them
again The second trial was unsuccess-
full, and it was then, while moving one
arm a. II he were swimming. and thus
keeping himself above water, that he
beat them with his free fist into a state
of inconsistencies.

men he had risked his life for, was
