Violent measures are contrary to British mentality, which puts evolution over revolution. Power Ended in 1911 But while the abolition of the house of lords would be opposed, its actual power ended in 1911, when the lords’ right to veto bills passed by the commons was abolished. When the king opens parliament, the ancient ceremony is performed in the house of lords. The royal couple takes its stand before the two thrones set up in the chamber, Then the king puts his crown on his head, while the assembled lords, wearing purple. mantles trimmed with ermine, and accompanied on tMls occasion by their" jewel-be-décked wives, stand facing the royal ple. : As the king and queen sit down off their thrones, each ‘peer puts his cgronet on his head and sits down also.

Town Stunned as Yank Court Sentences 7 Germans to Die

By’ ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent DARMSTADT, Aug. 1.—The residents of the bomb-ruined town of Darmstadt were silent today. They are - grimly aware that seven German civilians—including two women—have been sentenced by

an American military court to die. Those sentenced to death were chapged with. participating in the mob murder of six United States airmen near the village of Russels‘heim last August. oo Three others drew long prison terms. One was acquitted. The stunned villagers sat rigidly last night while the 7th army military commission, after a four-hour deliberation, announced the sentences, The time and place of the hangings will be determined by Lt. Gen. Wade Haislip, commander of the 7th. Those who must die are: Margarete Witzler, 50; Kathe Reinhardt, 38; Joseph Hartgen, 42;| Frierich Wust, 45; Johannes Seipel, | 67; Johann Opper, Gutlich, 47. August Wolf, 43, and Heinrich Bartel, 48, were sentenced to 15
