GERMAN POLICE
RECKLESS WITH REVOLVERS NEW DECREE ISSUED. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. BERLIN, July 13. On no account shall children be (ired at, says the new police decree, issued by the Prussian Minister of the Interior, who points out that the police use their revolvers somewhat recklessly. They are entitled to fire if their lives are in danger or if a criminal tries to escape after the warning, “Hands up or I fire.” It is hoped that the police will no longer fire to prevent persons who are guilty of trivial offences from escaping.—Australian Press Association-United Srevice.
