GERMAN JUDGE
RAPS BERGDOLL
Calls American Stacker a Traitor
as He JaiIs U. S.
Kidnapers.
YANKS' PLOT is PRAISED

Mossbach, Baden. = Complimenting
him on his noble effort to bring back
"a real traitor to his country" but con-
demning him for willfully violating the
German laws, Judge Hartmann SEN
fenced Corliss Hoover Griffis, who at
tempted to kidnap Grover Bergdoll,
the American draft eVadeg, to one year
and nine months Imprisonment and a
fine of two gold marks go cents). The
judge did not mince words in denounc-
ing Bergdoll as a traitor
The others involved in the kidnap-
ing were sentenced as follows: Eu-
gene Victor Nelson, chauffeur of Chi
cago, three months, which he already
has served; Roger Sperber, one year
and six months; and Prince Gagarin,
Russian, eight months. Four months
was deducted from each sentence, as
this already has been served, and SO
Mr.. Nelson was ordered freed.
Never did a judge sugar coat SEN
tence more. He explained that Berg
doll was like any other American citi-
zen in Germany and, regardless of his
being traitor, he had the same
rights as any other foreigner. There
fore the court had no recourse but to
find the prisoners guilty Of attempt
ing to usurp the government power.
They knew they we're violating the
law, and therefore the court was
forced to sentence them.
The judge carefully explained that
they had the right to appeal for pro-
baton, which is interpreted as an in
direct assurance that the German gov
eminent is in sympathy with them and
will grant such a request. This, at
least, is the opinion of Consul Moor
head, official American observer, who,
although considering the sentences
somewhat hard, presumed it was evil
dent that the sympathy of the court
presaged an inclination to release the
prisoners on parole if such request
were made. Bergdoll's stock here has
gone down to zero. This was shown
by the trial. While a few weeks ago
he was cheered by the people who
crowded the court and paraded in Ger
many as a hero sentiment now has
turned against him and it is believed
that he will shortly have to seek an
other place Of refuge.

and we wanted to get right next to
mans heart, we would smuggle good
pipe and some good pipe tobacco to
him around December 18th.
Or, if he already has a pipe that he
thinks was divinely intended for him,
the tobacco alone makes full-size gift.
Other advantages of good pipe to-
bacco as Christmas present include
the following:
You don't have to engage in any
detective work to find out his size,
favorite color, or other specifications.
And it doesn't make any difference
whether he already has plenty" or
not; nor need you be concerned lest
your gift be duplicated.
Aman can smoke up a lot of tobacco
between this Christmas and next;
while the humidor jar, in which we put
up pound of Edgeworth, keeps the
tobaccoi in prime condition indefinitely.
Edgeworth is a tobacco that practi-
cally every pipe-smoker likes; it's
safe choice.
The 16-ounce jar sells for $1.65 at
any tobacco store.
If your regular dealer hasn't enough
glass jars to supply the Christmas
trade, let us play Santa Claus for you.
Send us $1.65 for a jar, chs" name
and address, and your personal greet
ing card. Well do the rest.
Well pack the glass jar in an appro-
pirate Christmas box, enclose your
card and send it in plenty of time to
reach him before Christmas.
Address Larus & Brother Company,
II South 21st Street, Richmond, Va.
To Retail Tobacco Merchants If
your jobber cannot supply you with
Edgeworth, Larus & Brother Com
pany will gladly send you prepaid by
parcel post one or two-dozen carton
Of any size of Edgeworth Plug Slice or
Ready-Rubbed for the same price you

put down mutiny among his crew and
