EXQUISITE SPECIMEN OF PRUSSIAN~ ~JUNKERDOM Is
 FOUND IN BREAD LINE

THE HAGUE, April l.. By A.
 P.- Baron Von der Lancken, formerly German Civil Governor of Belgium,
 sought refuge in. Holland when the Germans retreated from Belgium. Won der Lancken was the man to whom the American Minister, Brand Whit lock, delivered his vain appeal to spare the fife of Edith Cavell, the English nurse who was executed by the Ger mans in October 1915, for aiding the British. French and Belgian soldiers escape from Belgium. Von der Lan- cl1en then told Hugh Gibson, Secre' tary of the American Legation, that the sentence imposed by the Military Governor on Miss Caveil was final an' that the Civil Governor could not over rule it.. -.'
 When Won der Lancken arrived here he went to the German Legation but in or6er to obtain food cards, he had to apply to the police station where he failed miserably in his eff forts to obtain preferential treatment as distinguished visitor" A chance caller there found him in line with a group of unwashed refugees, his we'll gromed figure out of keeping with his surroundings. He was. compelled to stand in line for two hours before his wants were attended to.
