few lines to his wife,“ and you must do the same. Address: Frau 
Doktorin Amalie Daniels, Schildergasse, K6ln. It would be 
desirable if Lupus did likewise. I know by experience how 
welcome letters from friends are at such a time. I shall write a 
short obituary of our poor friend for the Tribune. So far as the

was simply as follows: About a fortnight ago 2 privates were 
sentenced, one to 50 lashes, the other to 30, for ‘disrespectful’ 
behaviour towards their superiors. As is often the case, the 
CAT-O-NINE-TAILS WaS Steeped in urine. The first man had to be sent 
to hospital after receiving 40 lashes, and the second died shortly 
after receiving 30. There would appear to be no further question 
of an inquiry.

Powers or Europe TO THEIR VERY FOUNDATIONS’. 

A German rag has reappeared in London, the actual rédacteur en
