THE A . & A . S . RITE IN GERMANY . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , In reply to the inquiry in your issue of the igth Sept . as to the Scottish Rite and the railing , I can inform you that the Scottish Rite does not exist in Germany . The Grand Lodge of the Three Globes , at Berlin , works the " General Old Scotch Lodge " and " The Inner Orient " 0

( German-Altschottische Loge ) degrees , 4 to f , whereof I am a member . In front of the Oriental chair there is not placed a railing , made of metal faced with gems , and , of . course , it cannot have cost 80 , 000 dollars . Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is Protector of ah German lodges , but G . M . of none . In consequence of his great age , he has very seldom visited any lodges during the last ten years . —Fraternally yours , ADOLF OVERD 1 ECK . Uelzen , Hanover , September 27 th .

" Dear Sir and Brother , In reply to the inquiry in your issue of the igth Sept . as to the Scottish Rite and the railing , I can inform you that the Scottish Rite does not exist in Germany . The Grand Lodge of the Three Globes , at Berlin , works the " General Old Scotch Lodge " and " The Inner Orient " 0

( German-Altschottische Loge ) degrees , 4 to f , whereof I am a member . In front of the Oriental chair there is not placed a railing , made of metal faced with gems , and , of . course , it cannot have cost 80 , 000 dollars . Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is Protector of ah German lodges , but G . M . of none . In consequence of his great age , he has very seldom visited any lodges during the last ten years . —Fraternally yours , ADOLF OVERD 1 ECK . Uelzen , Hanover , September 27 th .
