In Berlin sword-handy Ludwig Diels, Chief of the Prussia Police who now have 12,000 Germans behind barbed wire, said last week that he has accepted from prominent prisoners eleven challenges to rapier duels, six to sabre duels and one to a pistol duel "unto death." The pistol challenger is Prisoner Max von Prittwitz, a relative of Germany's onetime Ambassador to the U. S. Baron Friedrich von Prittwitz und Gaffron. "I think it is amusing for a police chief to accept challenges from men he is forced to arrest." chuckled Chief Diels. "I love to fight. There's no grander feeling than beating your man in a fair fight. I shall fight them all! As to the pistol duel 'unto death' — well, that's fate!"
