charges set out against you fully and

THE LORD CHANCELLOR-Silen
Silence This is no place for passion or
anger against this man who is now our
prisoner, and let there be no cries or
even murmurs of approval or disapproval
as justice advances upon its inexorable
path.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL-My
Lords, the Act of Parliament passed to
establish this Court for this state trial
provides that upon your lordships should
be conferred full plenary and complete
power and authority to pronounce any
sentence you may determine upon this
prisoner. AS the designer and authorizer
of innumerable murders of non-comba-
tants, men, women and children, and of
gallant wounded soldiers lying helpless
in hospitals on sea and land, it is my
duty to urge upon you that he share the
fate Of all other convicted murderers
under our law.
(The black cap is placed on the
head of the Lord Chancellor by his
clerk. As he begins to pass sentence,

the Court rises.)
THE LORD CHANCELLOR-Fred
ericl William Victor Albert HohenzoI-
lern, there is but one sentence known to
the law of England for convicted mur-
derer-and a murderer you have been
proved to be. For the instigator of mur-
der, the compasser of murder the abet-
tor of murder, though he assign
to others the actual strokes that
kill is as much, in law and in
fact, a murderer as is the plant in
strument of his foul intent. There is no
atrocity that your soldiers have not COM
mitted and that you have not indorsed.
Never in any court, since there have been
courts, have such accumulated infamies
been brought home to one man.
When by your orders the Lusitania
was sunk in midocean and innocent wom-
en- and little children were left to strug-
gle and drown in the trampling waves,
you applauded the awful act and di-
rected that medal should be struck to
commemorate the deed.
When the captain of one of your sub
marines placed upon his deck the capt
ured crew of an unarmed merchant YES
sci that he had sunk, destroyed their
boats, took from them their lifebelts,
carried them miles away from any float
ing wreckage, and then projected them
into the sea to drown you decorated the
ruffian for his unspeakable cruelty.
When gallant Fryatt, fulfilling every
duty captain owes to his inoffensive
crew and helpless passengers, turned the
bows of his unarmed packet boat upon
the infamous scoundrel in your abomi-
nable submarine who sought to murder
them in cold blood, he fell into YOUR
hands, and, coward that you are, you
wreaked your vengeance upon nobility
that was beyond your comprehension and
valor that rendered you insignificant.
There were times in the past when
justice would have avenged such awful
crimes as have been proved against YOU
at this trial with torture of your living
body and desecration of your lifeless re-
mains, but this court will not debase i
self by initiating your own denominations
The sentence, therefore. of this court
upon you is that you be taken from
hence to the Tower of London and tbs+
you there be hanged by the neck till

FRENCH ACADEMY
 TO HONOR JOFFRE

PARIS, Jan. 17.-The most recently elected members of the French acad- emy, General Lyautey and Henri Bergson, will, it is announced, be formally deceived here in the new year, after which elections will be held to fill the ten chairs that have become vacant since December 1913, the date of the death of Jules Claretie. Since then the following members have died: Henry Rouion, June 1914; Jules Lemaitre, August 5, 1914; AL bert de Nun. October, 1914; Alfred Mezieres, October, 1915: Paul Hervfeu, October, 1915: Francis Charmes, Jan- uary, 1916; Emile Faguet, January, 1917: Marquis de segur, August, 1916, and Marquis de Vogue, November, 1916.
 The chair of M. Claretie is by com mon consent accorded to Marshal Jof- ire, while Cardinal Annette is men, tioned for that of Albert de Nun. The marshal has adhered thus far to his attitude of passive consent without making the traditional application. It is said that the academy will not in- sist in his case upon the rule.
 Joffre will be the seventh marshal of France to sit with the ''Immortals." :" The first was villars, chosen in recog- milton of his victory at Domain in 1712. In his case, also, the rule requiring aspirants to declare their candidacy and visit the members to solicit their votes was waived. The other marsh als of France who were academfcians were d'Estrees, Richelieu, de Belle Isle. Beauvau and Duras. The last named, the most recent before Joffre, was elected in 1775.

BOMBAY. Jan 17-How dismissed official of the Indian government en- deavored to get into communication with Germany for the purpose of stir ring up a revolutionary movement in India, has just been told at the ar ra.ngment of sitarama Iyer, charged with communicating with the enemy.
 Iyer, after being removed from the British service as revenue inspector, got into communication with Germany through various neutral consuls in Bombay, employing official British stationery and counterfeit seals to deceive the neutral consuls into ac- ceptfng his messages. His detection was due to accident, namely, that for a few days the French consul in Bom- bay was in charge of the Spanish con- sulate. and gained an inkling of what
 
 was going on.
 Captured letters show that Iyer al- ready had received $5,0Q0 from the then German Foreign Minister, Dr. Albert Zimmerman. and later S7,500 direct from the German Grown Prince, Frederick, as spersonal contribu. tion..to his wort. The money was delivered to him through the Swiss and Dutch conauls at Bombay, os- tensibiy for the use Of a fictitious Ger man missionary, Pax Muller, alleged to be interned in India. &=5&z4==z===z5=s==
 Iyer sent his letters to the Swedish, Dutch. Swiss and Spanish consuls in rotation. each letter being accompan. fed by an apparently correct letter on British official writing paper. re- auesting the consul to forward the sen- closed letters Of the missionary Null Ter. to Germany in the consular mall bags The signature Of the chief secretary of the government of Mad ras was forged. =s55.
