The privileges of the military aristocracy in Prussia extend, it

would seem, to murder. A Frenchman named Ott, chef de cuisine to Prince Alfred, was passing late in the evening along the Popels- dorf Allde, in Bonn, when he was stopped by a soldier and some students. He requested civilly permission to pass, when the soldier, Count Eulenberg, nephew of the Minister of the Interior, drew his sabre, and with two blows on the head wounded the cook so that he died. The murderer immediately went to Berlin, and it is considered possible that he may suffer a few days' arrest. As soldier and noble he had a right to-cut down a citizen who wanted leave to pass him. What hope of freedom for a people who, being all soldiers, avenge a crime of this kind by sending their carriages to the victims: funeral?
