the charge of having published false
statements regarding the American

Sentenced to three months imprison-

PENDED.
Sauerbon's defense was that the
Kreisblatt had reprinted the article
from a newspaper in unoccupied Ger
many. which alleged the killing Of two
Americans by civilians subsequently
levied a fine of 5000 marks on the town

No Omcial Advices on
Escape Ex.Crown Prince

Paris. June se.-Ths Peace eonfer.

v1sed Of the escape Of the Crown
Prince, <the>news coming through
British sources.
Pending details, oficial discussion
of the event and its bearing on Ger
man affairs and the question whether
II involves violation Of neutrality by
Holland is withheld.
Recent Berlin dispatches printed
n the Paris newspapers are recalled.
in which unnamed but allegedly we'll
placed persons, commented on the
sinking OF the German fleet in Scapa
Flow and the burning Of French bat
tlc-aags. said they were not surprised
and declared that other equally
startling events might be antici-
ra:ed.
Since the Scapa Flow incident the
Paris press has insisted that there
is possibility that the former Ger
man emperor may escape from Hol-
ian', coupled with indirect questions
as TO what means had been taken to
prevent such a move.
In military quarters the belief was
expressed today that the Crown
Prince Max Of Baden are on their
way to East Prussia, where the mill
tary reactionary element is strong,
The opinion is that there may be
among the junker officer class those
who, whatever opinion is held against
the former Crown Prince personally,
might try to use him as "the man
on horse back"
The presence in Germany at this
moment of Frederick William. when
the fate of the Peace treaty still
hangs in the balance. has caused dis
quietude in Paris and there is con-
siderable speculation regarding the
next development in the situation.
