Aramartable acandal involving members of the highest Berlin sociels ha bern revealed in the Civ Courts of the
German
capital, where Baron von Badek, à retised Praesian cfficer in bring- ing an action for alander and calumny against Count Gunther vcp Bernstorff, son of the former German-Ambassador to the Unit ed States, and bis wife.
Baron von Badek, who lived in England for some years, and is well-known in London, joined the German army on the outbreak of war and did distinguished service st the front.

acaneal came to the ears of the baron, and, as the cutcome of the inquiries be osused to be made it was found that the relationship between the ex-Ambassador's son, and the BarczeEs warranted] Baron von Badek in suing for a divorce. This was granted by the court on the ground that "during her husband's service on behalf of his country Baroness von Radek had been guilty of honour-, less and moralleen conduct.
Shortly after the divorce, Count Gunther you Bernstorff married the baroness, and subsequently during a chance meeting in s Berlin hotel; there arose a violent quarrel between the baron and the count, in the course of which the former tore the epaulettes from Count Gunther's uniform. To this assault the count replied with the remark: I refuse to arom swords with you. You are Enown to have been a German apy in England.”
This observation led to Baron won Radek's retirement from the Army and he is now sxing Count Gunther for uslumny,
