information received from good source

ask for guarantees that the reiuvena-
ton era will be closed before the COM
mission passes the next military budget.
Moreover. there is considerable indgna-
ton mt the fact that the emperor has
highly decorated the three chiefs of his
military cabinet, Hahkne Pesscn and
Arnim, and that the bill providing for
reform i'll military trials has again been
sent to the minister of war in order to
