VIOLATED No LAW
DEFENSE s PLEA
'DeteCtomania" is New Word
Coined in Supply
Ship Trial.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE case of
Karl Buenz and other officials of
the Hamburg American Steamship
Line. on trial for conspiracy was Civ
en- to the jury at PAS o'clock this
afternoon
There were two counts against
each defendant, each punishable by
not more than two years in prison
or $4,000 fine or both.
"Detectomania" was a word coined
by Rand. He said it was disease
affecting all public prosecutors.
Its effect is awful" said Rand.
"IIe sees crime everywhere. He lives
in a chamber of horrors Of his own
creation. He burns the midnight oil
of Uncle Sam building plots. From
D. m. to midnight he weaves a web
Of suspicion and from midnight to
dawn he unravels that web"
Rand showed how the district at
torney and department of justice
carefully traced the acts of the Ham
burg American line only to find that
no law had been violated in send
ing out the supply ships. Then he
said, as an after thought, the gov
eminent made the false manifest
charges.
Rand conceded that the acts
charged by the government were
done but he argued that no law was
violated. He said that Buenz and
Koetter knew nothing Of the wrong
manifests and that if the manifests
iwere faulty, it was the fault of Hach-
meister and Poeppinghaus.
Summed up in epitome. Rand's
plea amounted to the declaration
that the defendants sent out the
ships as charged; that they had a
right to do so; that neutrality was
not violated; that the alleged false
manifests were merely mistakes and
loversights and that the ships We're
really intended to go to their ports
| of destination.
Rand finished his summing up al
noon and court recessed for lunch
con after which Roger 3. Wood will
close for the government.

Berlin Says Enemies Will Pro-
coed to Report Street
RiOtS-AIlieS' Atti-
tude is Puzzle.

BERLIN, Dec. ,, C5y wireless -
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg will discuss the question of
peace in the near future at a session
Of the Reichstag, it was announced
today.
Forecasting the statement of the
government. the Overseas News
agency issued the following state
ment this afternoon:
The imperial chancellor prob
ably will show that the rules of the
countries at war with Germany are
still blinded by their belief in Ger
many's starvation and economic
prostration and other illusions. and
that. therefore, Germany's peace
conditions. which would be dictated
by her successes on the whole bat
tie line. would hardly be acceptable
and might be interpreted as signs CT
weakness or WEAKNESS of the war"
Reply to- Socialists.
The chancellor's statement was in
reply TO an Interpolation by the So
cialists.
This Interpolation. says the
Overseas agency, lis caused by the
fact that nobody in Germany I'M
derstands why our enemies. after
their diplomatic defeats and military
failures in the Balkans, have not
yet begun peace negotiations"
Large crowds were orderly and
there was no demonstration that re-
quired police repression. In COM
menting on this fact. the Overseas
agency says:
"Germany's enemies no doubt will
agar spread all over the world ridi-
culoUs reports about troubles i'm Ber-
lin. street riots and other insinua-
tons which in no way. correspond
with the truth"

A matter of grave concern

flag or not a peace flag every time
the newspaper reporters give them
five spare minutes in which to hold
a sOlliloquy.
Madame Schwimmer. the most pa
cifc pacifist of them all, votes for
the flag. Her idea is of a flag with
a picture on it OF two hands cIasped
over a broken swOrd-presumably
England and Germany shaking
hands
But Ellis Oliver Jones. who is like
wise an important person in the
peace foundry, votes otherwise.
"A flag is a dangerous thing" said
he today. because the minute peo-
pie have something material to think
about. they stop thinking thoughts.
1t is on the thinking capacity Of the
world that the success of our pill
grimage depends. We believe that
the soldiers in the trenches are
thinking now and we are going TO
help the men and women who are
not in the trenches to likewise do
