Eizia, June 5th. Ton months imprisonment, six months', two months', acquittai-that is the his tory of the four experimental trials of Leipzig organized as a test of Germany's disposition to punish adequately those who, in the words of the President of the tribunal himself, had shamed the raputa. tion of the German armies in the eyes of the outside world,

Yesterday morning wo heard the Cler mas avowal of the torpedoing without warning of the hospital ship Dover Caste while steaming between Malta and Gibral tar on the evening of May 28th, 1917. We beard, moreover, the admission of the Public Prosecutor that the ship; when sunk. was carrying uaither troopa nor guns nor munitions of war. Ye: the Daval officer who, sunk her, Lieutenant Commander Neumann, the former com mander of the submarine 6.6.67, after reconstructing the crime with a compla cency unusual even in a German offices was exonerated by the tribunal from att manner of responsibility, and left the Law Courts amid the handshakes and the admiring glances of a large crowd of his fellow countrymen and countrywomen.

It was an edifying spectacie Lieuten- ant-Commander Neumann,, stood before the Court not as a miserant but as a popular hero of the hour. Close shera. clean-shaven, wearing a smart swallow- tailed suit and fancy vest, his Tron Cross displayed at the waist, he was lionized throughout the proceedings.

The proceedings which followed lasted only a Jew minutes. They differed materially from the previous hearing against the men who committed the atrocities in the prisoners camps. No witnesses were called by either side and it became evident at the beginning of the Public Prosecutor's speech that respon- Fibility for the crime was to be placed upon other shoulders thau Neumann's The inuin question, Dr. Ebermeyer stated. was whether the accused was covered by the Admiralty decree, and the answer must be unconditionally affirmative.

Despite Neumann's acquittal, the last word in the sinking of the hospital ship under the orders of the German Higher Command has not been said.
