oSTRACISE0 FOR HUMANITY.
Prince Alph"nse. of bavaria. Given
the ''biur Letter for Being
TOO Gentle

As penalty for being too humans
Prince Alphonse, the nephew OF the
regent of Bavaria. has been given
the Blue Letter" In American slams,
vernacuiar this might be interpreted
to mean that he will hereafter re-
ccive the marble heart i'm select
official circles. The "Blue Letter.
means official degradation. He is, IL
seems. too humane for his uncle and
the military commanders, and he has
been called upon to suffer for his hui
manity.
He was asked TO resign from tbs
Bavarian army for no other reason
shan that he was too gentle and casv-
going with those uader his command.
lie is not severe enough TO please
the military. and the mistake he made
was to manifest too much considcra-
ton for the horses under his charge.
1t was during the last muneuvcrs.
On reaching a steep and stony de-
scent, Prince Alphonse ordered the
men TO dismount, so that the horses
might he spared. 1t is said that tho
order completely upset the plan OF
action. Popular feeling is intense
against the authorities who have
brought about the princes dismissal.
for he has always been popular with
Che subjects of his uncle. It is be-
lieved to be the first time q Bavariaia
prince has received the "BIue Letter"
