Lu The German, Karl Lady, met the inevitable fate of the spy in tne of war. The sentence of the court martial before which he was tried was that he should be shot, Thi was duly confirmed, and the ex cor tion was carried out at the Tower on Friday morning, says the " Dail Telegraph" of November 11.
Lady went to his doom with the calmness and courage which he di-played during his trial, He pre served throughout a fearless bear ing, and it is said that he resolutely refused to allow his eyes to be covered, and courageously faced the rifles which were pointed at hit breast, "Prolonged Plea of Guilty."
The trial of Lady at the Middlese Guildhall, Westminster, on October 30 and 31 and November 8, was the first of its kind held in Englad, and it was attended by a series of dramatic incidents quite in keeping with its unusual nature. Really Lady made no attempt to deny the allegations brought against him, and while the counsel for the protetion characterized the trial as "ow prolonged plea of guilty," Mr George Elliott, x.c., appearing the defence, took the courageous course of appealing to the spirit military duty which he knew would animate the members of an English court-martial.
The Duty of the Fleet.
The officers and men of our oxpeditionary force, in defiance of difficulty and shortcomings, are devotedly discharging their duties The enemy at Kiaochou Bay has been destroyed, it is true, but German men-of-war are still about South America, and although the Second Squadron had completed xts immediate duty, many other men-of-war of the Imperial Navy are cruising over many places in the Pacific. Even if the German men-jof-war in South America be crushed by the navy of our ally tomorrow, the duty of the Imperial Navy does not terminate so long as the war in Europe continues. and the end is a long way ahead, it must be said, for the Japanese Navy. By the august influence of His Majesty the Emperor and the support of the nation, I hope, however, that the day may not be far off when the object of the war will be attained.
