•By Telegraph — Copyrlght).
(Rec. Dec. 27) Londbn, Dec. 26. The Daiiy Telegraph's Bferlin correspondent says the German Press is in a quandary in commenting on the Reichstag fire trial. •On the one hand it deplores what ihe extreme papers chll the "miscarriage of justice," and on the other boasts that the verdict "left the foreign traducers of Nazi justice without a leg to stand on." The correspondent expfesses the opinion that recent events have weakened that love of abstract justice 'which. once made it possible for a German peasant to tell the King "there are still courts in Prussia," but the verdict is undoubtedly to restore a sense of fair play, even in politics, which have been weakened but not j destroyed by Germany's men of violence. The Daily ExprqSs' Berlin correspondent says the German newspapers are speculating oh the mode bf Van der Lubbe's exeeution. The guillotine is tKe customary method in Saxony, of which Leipzig is the capital, but hanging is usual in treason cases. General Goering, wko boasts of the number of deaths warratits he has signed, favours the headsman's axe.
