 The German government avoided taking any action in the matter as long as possible. Finally, it pre- scented a reply to the allies in which it set forth the view that to arrest the men named and attempt to hand them over to the allies would be to precipltate grave events in Germany.
 It offered to put on trial any of its subjects before the German high courts. provided the allied govern ments prepared prima facie cases against them, showing that prosecu- ton was justifiab1e. This view of the German government finally pre- vailed.
 K The British prepared seven cases in full These were the cases against Heynen. Muller. Trinke and New mann. charged with acts of cruelty to prisoners. Of war at various camps, and the following naval cases:
 Lieut. Commander Parzlg-Charged with having sunk without warning the hospital ship Llanedver Castle and with having afterwards fired on and sunk boats containing survivors with consequent loss of 2sl lives.
 Lieut.. Commander Neumann- Charged with torpedoing without warning the British hospital ship, Dover Castle. with the loss of six lives
 Lieut.. Commander Werner Charged with having sunk the British steamship Torrinxton and then drowning the entire crew. with the exception of the captain, by sub merging. while the unfortunate men were lined up as prisoners on the deck of the submarine.
 In the House of Commons recently in reply to questions. the attorney general. Sir Gordon Hewart, said the seven cases which the government had prepared did not begin to ex- haust it's list They were merely seven selected test cases.
