4 Trick That Worked

While Landru's advocate was not sue
cessful IN saving his client from the
sentence of death, his colleague La
chaud succeeded in this trick in an
other case. in which, as in the Landru
case, the corpus deficit had not been
found. He endeavored TO show that the
alleged victim might still be alive,
and exclaimed: Gentlemen. the man
whom you think assassinated is not
dead; he is still alive, and not only
lives in our city, but is here present.
Look, gentlemen, there he isl" And
with raised arm he pointed to the cell
ing of the hall.
Everybody looked up, and the judges
were seized with alarm. Lachaud, how
ever, continued. Zone single word, one
single gesture, was sufficient to awaken
the doubt in you. At the moment you
doubt, your conscience forbds you to
convict" And thus the accused was
acquitted.

Why Arc ne JChite?

The reason why Caucasians are white
is very simple as explained by one Of
the gravest German savants.
Originally all men were black, be-
cause they lived on roots and fruits.
When they got dispersed more widely,
altered conditions of temperature and
food very soon modified the color of
their skins.
In this way the negroes in America
turned into red Indians, because they
used bloody meat, which supplied them
with superab abundance of hemog goDlin,

warrant the following forecast OF Ger
many's future:
at is quite certain that we are at
present at the beginning Of a so-callcd
mutation period. The November revo-
luton Of 1918 was but the precursor
of a great German civil war that is to
commence in 1928. This revolution
will not be as bloody as the French
Revolution, but will resemble more
the English revolution under Cromwell
Still some of our contemporaries will
be tickled in the ncck'-hanged. At
first the radicals Of the Right Will

monarch will in a short time be put

years after the execution of the mon

principles. With this event Germany

service ON works Of public utility. The
liability begins for girls at the ago of
sixteen, for Young mon at the age of
twenty, the term of service being six
months for the former and twelve
months for the latter. Exempt from
service arc the disabled, married wom-

The object of compulsory public
service is TO be, as stated in the intro

stincts and feelings Of solidarity in all
classes of society, and the development
by this means OF the moral and eco
