TOO MANY PAROLES
BY GERMAN JUDGES

BERLIN, May 20 (Associated Press) -
The system of paroles for lawbreakers
which before the war could be granted
only by the sovereigns of the various
German States and for which the au-
thority since the war has not been defi-
nitely established by law. will be dis
cussed in the Reichstag in the near
future.
AT present. although there is no State
legislation on the subject, judges are
free to grant paroles or even drop sem
tences in the name of the various pro-
vincal Governments.
The new proposal would place the adj
mirrietration of mercy in the hands of
the national authorities. Such a propo-
sition was brought up as early as 1918.
but the question whether the proposed
laws would apply TO all offenders or only
to those under 1S years of age delayed
action on the bill. and it was lost sight
Of during the war.
From November. 1920. when the pres
ent system was inaugurated 10 the mid
die of 1921 the number OF prisoners
paroled totaled S0.S44. including 1897
youths. and revocations OF paroles dur
ing the first half of 1921 totaled 1859.
