A few days ago, it is stated here, the German frontier-guards received a wireless message notifying them where Dr. Weiss, the Jew who was vice-president of police in Berlin, is at present, and instructing them to arrest him immediately he attempts to cross the German frontier.
Dr. Weiss surrendered to the Berlin Police Presidium on March 7, it is stated further in the report, and he was told that there was nothing against him. But Dr.Weiss happens to belong to the category of officials against whom no action can be taken, because he has been an official of the Prussian Government since 1907, and the law exempts Jews who have been in official service since August 1, 1914.
