(B'ec. Ma.y 12.) London, May 11. Oaptain J. Sears, an ex-officer, eharged at Bow Street with stealing Dr. Rosenberg's wreath was discharged under the Offenders' Probation Act and fined 40s for wilful damage to the wreath which was thrown into the Thames, but was recovered la.ter. Th'e space on the cenotaph occupied by Dr. Rosenberg's wreath was filled this •evening by a. chaplet inscribed "Placed here in sincerity by a Briton resenting the insult to the glorious dead." Dr. Rosenberg says the wreath he placed on the cenotapb was in honour of fallen Britons. "I am painfully surprised 'a,t the sad incident. The British public will readily undei'stand how I feel." The Star asks whether Herr Hitler realised that the wre'ath jointly honoured the Jews, who died for England and whose names oceupy fortynine pages of the British' Jewry hook of honour.
