MILITARISM IN GERMANY

TINE debates in the Beichstag on the
military estimates give the Social
Democrats an opportunity OF again
bringing before the house the sub
jet Of the iI-treatment Of soldiers. It
must be admitted that the cases disclosed
by Herren BebeI and Kunert. supposing
that they can be authenticated. cast
glsriDg light upon the condition Of things
existing In this military state. Herr
Bebel made the following statement: "A
commissioned officer at Breslau on a
certain Sunday morning tore the buttons
OF priyate's coat. and made him stand
in bathing drawers while he beat him over
the head with his trousers. He then cut
the seams Of his clothes tiu they were
In pieces. and ordered him to sew them
up again and dress in full marching
order. Later he again cut his clothes and
made him sew them up a second time.
This fellow was finally found guilty Of
siXty-three cases Of ilI-treatment IN 200
cases he had boxed mems ears OF struck
them with the fat Of his sword For all
this he received only nine months i'm
prisonment and degradation. In another
case an officer who had caused soldiers
death by ill-treatment received only one
year and seven months imprisonment
