GERMANS HARD ON HIM

Munich. May 16.-Munich has just fur
nished an incident in real life which, it is
to be expected, more than one German
dramstist is already adapting for the
stage. very young man dressed in the
very height of fashion appeared the 9th
er day and professed TO be military au-
thorities that he had deserted his regi-
ment five years ago. He asked to be
punished for his offense and allowed 10
serve his time, so that he could face
the world again with a clear conscience.
1t appears that the deserter, who comes
Of a good family ran away after commit
ting some trifling offense against military
discipline and spent life Of adventure in
various countries of Europe and Africa.
He served in the French foreign legion in
Algeria and fought on the side of the
Macedonian insurgents against the Turks.
He went TO sea as a common sailor, and
afterward became manager Of a tourists
bureau at Nice. Finally he settled In
Paris and made money by successful
speculations, so that he was soon a rich
man.
In Paris he fell in love with wealthy
French widow who was willing to become
his wife. His past, however, weighed
heavily on his conscience, and he resolv-
ed to expiate his offense before leading
her to the altar, hence his return to Mu-
Mich and his confession to the military
authorities there.
The court-martial which tried his case
sentenced him TO one years imprisonment
for desertion and at the expiration Of the
term he will have to serve his obligatory
three years in the army. His lady-love
in Paris will thus have to wait four years
before she can become his bride.
