 Couldn't Read German
 The divorce case which Anton :. Schneider had filed against his wife Gertrude came up for the attention of the court yesterday morning, but after the trial had progressed for some time it was halted because of the fact that nobody could be found to translate certain letters which the plaintiff had offered as documentary evidence to support his request for . dissolution of the marriage contract which he and Gertrude had entered into several years ago. Several let ters written in tine German language were offered and when the court made an effort to have them translated, none of the court attaches could read the letters or at least did not care to parade their knowledge of the Hun language before group of Ameri- cans.
