Vorwartz publishes copy Of an order
issued to the Twelfth army corps by
Prince George Of Saxony, calling upon
the officers to put stop to the inhuman
treatment Of the men by the non-com.
mlssioned officers. The prince adds that
socialism, the public danger to Germany,
will only be strengthened by such treat
ment. The order instances nine epe-
citic cases Of cruelty. In come primitive
drills the men were compelled to present
arms 500 times. Another was obliged to
raise can of boiling coffee until he be-

contents to run over his head and shout

habitually kicked the men and struck
them with his sword, wantonly forced
them to perform hard tasks, and tortured
them until they screamed with agony.
Cases are inst anced where the men were
paraded at midnight in the depth Of win
ter, wearing only their shirts, until they
tainted. In addition many cases of black
mailing are mentioned. The guilty SER
geants have been sentenced to imprison.
ment from two to five years each. The
revelation of these cruelties has caused
much indignation among the public.
Vorwartz mentions some cases where the
men were kept at knee drill till they had
performed the movement nearly 20OO
times or till they tainted. In one in.

New YoRK, Feb. 3--Ex-Governor John

starving people OF Russia. He was re-

that country's peasantry. In response to
that request Mr.. Hoyt has communicated
with Chauucey M. Depew, George w.
Childs, the mayors Of New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and other large cities,
and the presidents Of the great transpor.
tation lines, inviting them to act on the
proposed national committee. He taid

written, and that the committee wonld

ex-governor, sis that the Wes
should furnish the grain, which it has
done already, and the East ought to pro
vide means Of transporting it. In tina
way every part Of the country could have
an opportunity fer doing it's share to re
