Berlin. Nov. 23-Tne proposed re-
form In procedure In military trials IN
Germany promises to cause the most
serious friction between the emperor
and the cabinet and may possibly
bring out q cabinet crisis later. The
minister OF war. General Bronsart Won
Schelienberg. publicly declared In the
reichstag last winter that unless he
won a majority over TO his views of the
propriety OF publicity in all military
trials for ordinary offenses. he would
resign. and the chancellor. Prince Ho-
henlohe. has made a similar deciara-
ton IN public. Emperor william. how
ever. will not hear OF public trials for
such cases. fearing that they win often
furnish the socialists facts and argu-
ments which will be unscrupulously
used and which will be a serious detri-
ment TO military discipline and the
general efficiency of the army. In this
view the emperor Is upheld by Herr
Won Koeller. Prussian minister OF the
interior. and other influential men Of
his encourage. Hence. friction Is GER
tain to arise. especially as the minister
of war insists upon introducing a bill
to reform military trials at the coming
session OF the reichstag.

shortly after the reichstag meets pro-
vides for an increase OF the sugar ex-
port bounttes from one and a quarter
