has been shown. according n the same au-

and foreign experts are loud IN their
praises OF the skill displayed by Emperor
William N handling the troops in Thurs
days acton. which followed the plan
which he had personally designated. A
new system OF field telegraph. which was
introduced IN this engagement, proved
most satisfactory.
Perhaps the only thing in connection
with the army maneuyers which has
LETT any Ill feeling is the fact that the
Count OF Turin. second son OF the deceased
brother of King Humbert. Prince Anna

Since the emperor's denunclation of So
ciaiists the seizure OF Socialist papers and
the arrest of their editors have been in
cidents of almost daily occurrence. Among
the papers subjected to this treatment are
the Madgeburg Noltks,mme. the Breslau
Nolkswacht, the Hanover NoltskwIlle. the
Eisen Arbeiter Zeitung and the KEEL Nolks
Zeitung, while the SECURES Of presses at
Leipsic. Furth. Nuremberg and other
places prove that the Saxon and Bavarian
governments are prepared 10 join IN the
anti-SoCialist campaign.

Socialist measure will be adopted at once.

Seeing the lengths to which the local
authorities are going. now that the en-
per0r has given the word, the press is be-
coming much guarded in its comments.
Many journals counsel the government
to seek to remove the causes Of discomfort
which feed the Socialist flame. rather
than hastily endeavor to suppress aglta-

anew 10 man who is destined 10 play A
leading part in the next great war in
which Germany is engaged. Won Walder-
see is regarded as Won Moltke's abiest
pupil. His handling of the army corps
at the Stettin maneuvers proved him 10
he a capable strategist. while his corps
were shown to be one OF the best drilled
in the Prussian army.
