riage is, for a woman, the solution
Of the problem of getting pass

let her divorce them as soon as
she had established a passport in
her new citizenship.
She at present has seven eX-hus-

Though the French declare the Leip-
zig trials of alleged war criminals are
farcical, and have withdrawn from the
commissions watching the proceedings,
the trials are going on, and last week
there was revived interest because two
German lieutenants were arraigned
charged with submarine frightfulness.
They commanded the U-boat that sank
the. British hospital ship Landovery
Castle, and are accused of attempting
TO murder the entire personnel of the
vessel. including the wounded and the
Red Cross nurses, after they realized
their mistake in sinking the ship. The
defendants refused to testify, but
members of the crew told how it was
decided to hide all traces of the crime
and how the overcrowded lifeboats
were shelled and sunk. The
court then surprised the allied watch
ers by calling a dozen Germans who
testified TO alleged British atrocities
at sea. and made the charge that the
steamship Baralong flew the American
flag when 1t sunk the German subma-
rine U-31. Some of them swore the
British used lifeboats as decoys and
carried troops and munitions aboard
hospital ships. All of this was in
