Insulted the Kaiser.

A girl of Metz, 14 years old, has recently been condemned to eight days' Imprisonment for having insulted the German Emperor. The insult consisted in writing a private letter to one of her little friends in which there was something disrespectful to his Majesty. It is said that such sentences are common in Alsace-Lorraine. Herr Liebknecht, the veteran socialist of the Reichstag, will have to serve four months’ imprisonment also for insulting the Emperor after the Reichstag adjourns.
