UPRIGHT VERDICT ·

LONDON COMMENT ON

LEIPZIG TRIAL ́·

London, Dec. 27. Most newspapers cominent on the verdiet in the Reichstag fire trial. Under the heading "An Upright Verdict," the Times says no mes- sage could have more seasonable or more welcome to lovers of justice throughout the world, and in leading article concludes: "By reaching the only ver dict consonant with honour and justice, the court has struck a blow for humanity and preserved the high respect which the German judiciary has commanded hitherto," The Daily Telegraph says the honour of the Supreme Court and with it that of German justice has been fully vindicated.

The Manchester Guardian says the court has had the courage to perform its duty of considering evidence on Its marits, British
