SPARE NONE OF THE ENEMY.
Emperor william Told His Troops
to Give No Quarter to the
Cinnamon An Battle.

Berlin, July 27.-The Lokal Anzeiger
says the Emperor, when addressing the
troops at Bremerhaven, before they sailed
for China, referred first to the responsible
tiles which had sprung up for the Ger
man Empire abroad during the last dec
ade.
Germany's troops, he said. must now
show in the face of the enemy whether
their tendences-the tendencies which
German military methods had followed
were right. Their comrades of the ma
rine had already proved that the train
ing and principles upon which that arm
of the force should be built up were right
ones. and now it was for the troops TO
do the same.
Every German has been filled with
pride" continued His Majesty, ITO learn
that the highest praise bestowed upon
German warriors has come from the
mouths of foreign leaders. The task be-
fore you Is great one. That people
like the Chinese should cast TO the winds
international rights thousand years old,
and treat with scorn the sanctity of an
ambassador and the rights of hospitality
in manner so horrible is unprecedented
in the history of the world. Every civil
ization not founded upon Christianity is
sure to be brought to naught
so l send you out May you all prove
your German efficiency, devotion and
bravery. Bear joyfully all discomfort
and uphold the honor and glory of our
arms. You must set an example of dis
cipline, self-domination and self-control.
To Give No Quarter.
IF you close with the enemy, remem-
Der this; Spare nobody. Make no pris-
oners. Use your weapons so that for a
thousand years hence no Chinaman will
dare look askance at any German. Open
the way for civilization once for ALL"
The address concluded as follows:
THE blessings of the Lord be with you
The prayers of the whole people will ac-
company you in all your ways My best
wishes for yourselves and for the success
of your arms will ever follow you.
Give proofs of your courage no matter
where. May the blessing of God rest on
your banners; and may He vouchsafe
to you to find a path for Christianity in
that far-off country.
For this you have pledged yourselves
to me with your oath to the colors. l wish
you God-speed Adieu, my comrades"
The Lokal Anzeigers report of the
speech from the semi-official reports, no
tably in respect to the reference to spar
ing none and making no prisoners when
coming in close quarters with the enemy
Is ques toned, but The correspondent of
the Associated Press was assured this
evening by a perfectly responsible person
who heard the speech that the Lokal An
zeig5r's report is correct.

Id after parades swords are frequently

and after parades swords are frequently
worn.
The regulation is a survival of the old
duelling days when blades flashed forth
on the least provocation. but now it is
principally useful as providing a safe
draw for the new boy.
The lot of the last Joined subaltern is
not altogether a happy one. In many regi-
ments no subaltern is allowed to stand on
the hearth rug until he has served three
months while a further period of eighty
four days is necessary TO qualify him for
possession of an armchair.
Further it is an unwritten law that the
junior subaltern-or "boots"-should re-
turn thanks for the ladies of the regiment
when their health is proposed on the an
nual occasion on which they grace the
mess.
Should an officer dressed in multi wish
10 enter the ante-room after dinner he
must first obtain the permission OF the
senior officer present his humble query,
May I come in. Sir?" usually eliciting
ribald inquiries as TO his doings. AS al
ready mentioned, when a guest invited by
the regiment is present no one may leave
the mess table till the guest makes a
move, but in addition to this the law
stands that no one may go TO bed till the
regimental guest has departed.
This, in the case of a long winded or
bibulous individual, or, worse still, when
he is both, means very late hours, and
often a sleepyhead will try to steal off
unobserved, but rarely does he go undo
tected, and his punishment is swift and
condign.
1t is matter of etiquette and good man
ners 10 say Good morning" on first en-
tering the ante-room in the morning, and
Good evening" assembling for mess.

should always be Sired" but there is
no occasion continually to "Sir" a mud

A mud major" Che only exists in the
line) is a major who is still in command
of a company, and therefore not entitled
to ride on parade
Although they scarcely come under the
heading of mess etiquette, the old service
definitions of three ranks are amusing
They run as follows
The subaltern knows nothing and does
everything. The captain knows every
thing and does nothing! The Major knows
nothing and does noth!ng!!!
Before concluding this brief resume
there are few minor points of etiquette
to be noticed II is bad form to salute
a la militaire when in mufti; to carry a
regimental cane as a walking stick, or to
put V. c.. c. b, D. S. O., or any other
decoration on ones cards
This is a point frequently infringed by
volunteer colonels who describe them
selves as Colonel -, V. D.
On the whole, though some of the regu-
lations sound rather ridiculous, it may
safely be said that mess etiquette is
founded on solid basis of good manners.
courtesy, respect for others, and respect
for ones self.

Boys and Girls in China.
From the Westminster Budget.

Boys are always welcome when they ap-

Important changes in trade and specu-
lation are notably lacking this week, but

sections and industries lend a rather more

general situation.
Among he favorable features calling
for notice are the practical assurance OF

apparently on renewed buying for ex-

by manufacturers.
The Iron Market Way Down.
Unfavora BILE elements in trade probably
find their chief and greatest exposition IN
the iron and steel business. That indus

Export business would undoubtedly ex-

Dry Goods and Cotton.
The trade in dry goods at the East par
