Little Duchy Received Princely Sum

of Neutrality.
PARIS, Nov. 30.—The German gov

Luxemberg, the independent duchy
which lies between France and Ger
many, the sum of $40,000 as an in
demnity for the invasion of the duchy
and the violation of the neutrality
of the defenseless country.
International lawyers claim that the
acceptance of the money by the Queen
of Luxemberg places that principal
ity in the class of enemies, but that
as the country is defenseless and is
now in the hands of the Germans no
attempt will be made by France or
England to take advantage of the
fact 'Until the final settlement is
made with the kaiser’s government.
