BERLIN. March 4.-Gen. Bronsart Won Sehel-
iendorff. Prussian War Minister, made note
worthy speech on Friday against the Social

Bsbsl leader Of the Social Democratic party.
Bsbel. after denying that Socialists were al

to responsible posts were many Socialists. The
Government might we'll be glad therefore. to
be able to reckon on the support OF party like
the Social Dem ocracy. which was powerful not
only In the Reichstag. but In the army.
Amid Conservative cheers and laughter the
War Minister responded sardonically that he
rejoiced 10 the assurance that the country
might depend upon its Social Democratic
citizens in the army. Considerable anxiety
had been felt by misiniormed men concern
ing the loyalty OF Socialist soldiers. but It
must now be nllayed. as q conspicuous Social
Democratic leader had given the assurance
that the prevalent mistrust was Rroundless.
Toward the close OF his speech. however. the
War Minister became exceedingly earnest,
and declared with spirt that the Govern ment
could not allow men whose loyalty had been
tainted with Social Democratic doctrine to
hold any positions OF com and in the army.
