wishes to imagine that by denying
the existence OF law he can absolve
himself from its penalties, that is
his right 80 long as he grants to
other men the right to believe IN

Throughout Germany there was
disseminated propaganda to the
effect that when in America Mar
shal Foch witnessed a scalp dance

German scalps which had been
taken in the great war. OF course,
