' The historian, Dr.- Karl Hauck, author of the "History of Civilisation and the German Empire," in 50 volumes, has been arrested on a charge of stealing thousands of documents and prints out of Prussian archives between 1918 and 1922. When Dr. Hauck 'a flat was searched it was found to be filled with the proceeds of similar thefts from the principal libraries of, Europe. The depredations had been going on for 30 years. . ( ' For many years Dr. Hauck' has been living with' a young Austrian, Karl von Hohenlohe, who claimed to be an Austrian aristocrat, but he was really a tailor's cutter. Hohenlohe assisted Hauck to sell the manuscripts. Hohenlohe was made a prisoner early in the war, but Hauck's influence at the Vatican was so great that he was able to secure Hohenlohe's release.
