Germans Are Strict

Berlin, July 10.-(Special.) )-The law against paying debts to persons in the countries with which Germany is at war not only applies to Germans but also to such foreigners as may be resident in Germany. according to the most recent court ruling.
 A Chilean in Berlin. member Of a firm that before the war did a large European business. recently was ar- raigned and fined s25 because he had at- tempted to arrange by correspondence, to settle a debt of $50O0 which his con- cern owed to England. He made no at- tempt to send the money from here, but sought to have it dispatched to England from Chile.
 He argued in his defense that the Ger man law did not apply to foreigners who might owe money in foreign coun- tries. and that Germany had no right to Jurisdiction over countries of which she was not one. Though the prosecuting at- torney asked for a fine of but $5 the court imposed the larger sum because the Chil- can sought to swell the possession of the enemy and because the debt he tried to settle was so large
