GERMAN STEEL KING
JAILED FOR PlLACE
Robert Rocking Ordered Impris.
oned for Ten Years and
Exiled for Fifteen.

AMIENS, Dec. 26-Robert Rocking
German officer and administrator Of
steel mines at Karlsruhe, convicted
by court martial of organizing pill
lage of factories in eastern France
has been sentenced to ten years con-
tinement, fifteen years in exile, and to
pay fine of 10000, 600 francs. 1t was
testified that he collected machinery
and other material from the factories
and blew it UP in November, 1918.
His brothers, Herman and Ludwig
were given similar sentences by de-
fault.
The Roeckling brothers are known
as German steel kings" Herman
Rocking, president of steel asso-
sociation, was at Treves as a member
of the German armistice commission,
for which reason he was not arrested.
The other brother, Ludwig, went to
Versailles as a member of the peace
delegation, and consequently was COW

The evidence presented by the pros
ecution was that the brothers had

value of the dollar and theh pound in

y When this process has been com

America or may take his enormous
profits in American dollars and con-
vert 1T into pounds-again with ad-
vantage of the exchange rate-and
invest his nearly doubled money in
other British Investments.
The situation which favors the ex-
porter, however, has worked exactly
the opposite toward the importers of
provisions and similar goods which
cannot again be re-exported. The i'm
porter must buy at the unfavora BILE
exchange rate and sell at pound
values in England. This has forced
up the cost Of living and necessitated
increased wages.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec. 26.-The

even its former site has been oblitera-

memories Of Christmas, seventy years
ago were revived here yesterday by
three aged negroes, brothers, who
were separated by the slave block in
1859. They met for the first time in
more than a half century, and after
a day spent In Louisville left last
night to visit their mother in Litch-
field, whom they have not seen since
that day. Their mother is more than

The three were put up for auction,

ton in Case Where Evidence
Was in Doubt.

Secretary Of War Baker has ap-
proved a Recommendation Of Judge
Advocate General Crowder that the
sentence OF Lawrence Perlmutter, con-
victed OF treason while a prisoner OF
war in Germany, be revoked. The ac-
tion Of Mr. Baker on the case is final.
"Perlmutter was accused Of giving
information to the Germans while
held prisoner" said Mr.. Baker. HE
was tried in Germany, as I recall it.
General Crowder made q careful re.
view of the entire case. There was
only one witness against Perlmutter
and several circumstances tended to
invalidate his testimony.
I'm view Of the grave nature Of the
cN4ge and the circumstances tending
invalidate the testimony OF the
Hnly witness, General Crowder felt
that it was an open question whether
Perlmutter was guilty or not For
this reason he recommended that any
unexecuted portion Of his sentence be

British commercial missions, un-
heralded, are working quietly in all
tho markets of the world in an effort
to make London again tho dictator

authoritative information
A mission of six, headed BY II. P.
Mackinder, NJ P, and q member of

Sir Roger Keyes soon will arrive in

sent to the Balkans, Italy, Germany,
South America, and other places
where British-made goods may nnd

That the British manufacturer is
leaving no stone unturned in his @f-
fort to regain trade was indicated by
the method by which he has taken
advantage in the decline in value OF
the pound sterling. Board Of trnde

which manufacturers actually have

CHRISTMAS DINNERS
GO BEGGING ON BOWERY
New York Mission Houses Prepare
Big Meals, but Only a
Few Come.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Christmas
dinners went begging on the Rowery
yesterday. Roast turkey with all It's
trimmings" candy and mince pie
failed to attract half so many hun
cry men as were served in former
years. This was attributed to pre-
vailing prosperity and prohibition.
The famous Bowerv Mission served
only 400 persons, where in former
years they have been called to pro-
vide for at least $500. At Hadley's
Rescue Hall less than 800 appeared
for dinner. Many missions did not
serve the usual Christmas repast be-
cause of the lack of applicants.
The usual Christmas noon hour
dinner at the Macauly Water Street
Mission was postponed until night
because of the lack of applicants.
Not a man appeared at noon, al
good things had been prepared. A
few years ago 1t was not unusual ;or
the mission to feed 1900. but this
year only 800 hungry men appeared.
The Salvation Army furnished a
bountiful Christmas dinner to more
than 5000 families. More than COO
merchant sailors were entertained at
dinner at the Institute of the
American Seamen's Society. Several
army TRUCKS bearing Christmas trees
and thousands of presents made tours
of the poorer sections of the city.
Nearly 1000 children were made
happy with gifts, valued at $4,000,
and distributed at the annual Christ
mas tree celebration Of the New York
lodge of Elks. Approximately ten
tons of Christmas supplies were dis
tributed by the Knights of Columbus
to wounded soldiers in hospitals, in
knights of Columbus huts, and VA
rious institutions. They also pro-
vided for each sailor on the naval
ships in the harbor.
