The emperor says:
at is my will that ducls between off,
GERS should be more effectively prevented
than heretofore. Their occasion is often
trifiug and amenable to friendly coniprom-

After then exorting officers in the army
to avoid injuring each others honor, En-
peror William continues;
"Where they have done SO through hasd-
ness or excitement, the enivalrous course
ia to agree to a friendly compromise. 1t is
equally the duty of the one insulted to ac-
cept the compromise. as far as honor and
propriety of conduct viii permit.
"My viii, therefore, is that Il council Of

A decree follows under nine separate N
s,ructions. experimenting the orders Of

concerning courts OF honor for the Prussian
army. ii requires that officers shall re-
port their disputes to the council and shall
abstain from further action. II defines the
procedure OF the council, which is empow-
cred to dictate compromise or to dismiss
disputes as insignificant. It empowers an
appeal direct to the emperor from either de-
cision. Should the council fail to arrange
compromise. recourse may be had TO a
court OF honor which shall also intervene

conduct of either Of the parties. All evas-
ions or ignoring of the court must ho re-
mort ed TO the emperor. Quarrels between
officers and civilians are also TO be re
ferred to a council of honor.
