THE WRONG MAN.
The exploits of the “Gaptain of Kopenik ” caused a gust of laughter to sweep over Germany. To prevent such a convulsion from occurring again, the German police have been on the look-out for all sorts of sham officers, with the result that they recently landed a prize. They arrested in the suburb of Halensee (Berlin) an old officer, who was wearing a uniform which did not appear to be strictly conventional. The suspect was taken off to the police station forthwith ; but when he came to be examined he turned out to be no other than Field-Marshal Count Hoeseler, Commander-iu-Chief of the German Army. Words fail to describe the consternation of the police. A Berlin newspaper has told the tale to all Germany, and Germany has been convulsed with laughter again.
