("Times" Cables.) LONDON, February 21. "The Times," in an editorial article, says: "It is impossible to exaggerate the disgust felt by most people at the continued incarceration in Germany of the Bulgarian Communist, Dimitroff, and his companions, -who were acquitted at the Reichstag fire trial. This conspicuous perversion of justice is calculated to make people place Germany in a separate category from that of other civilised nations."
