Time was when the Allied nations fairly howled for Gessler's official head, imputing to him the organization of secret German defense units: "The Black Reichswehr." This and a score more of tempests and squalls could not unhorse him.
Fate has just dealt him a "personal blow" by striking dead, during the past twelvemonth, his two flourishing sons, and, last week, his mother.
