Effort to SmuggLe
French Securities
Leads to Detection

BERLIN, March French securities
valued at several million marks, stolen
by German soldiers during the war, have
just been restored to their owners, owing
to an attempt to cmuggle them out Of
the country.
The securities were found by two SOL
diers in an abandoned French chateau
and brought to Germany. Acquaintance
who tried to cut in on the division re-
ported to the police and the soldiers were
arrested boarding a train for the occu-
pied area. They could not be tried for
theft, owing to the general amnesty for
pre- revolutionary offense, but were con-
victed and sentenced for violating the
so-calIed capital-fight law prohibiting
the movement OF property abroad to es-
cape taxation.-Copyrlght 1922, by Pub
