REPORTS ARE EXAGGERATED

Berlin, December u.-In the Reichstag them. He admitted that there had been estly in to the charges of brutality ard immortality brought against German army officers without attempting to exculpats certain amount of truth, but it was not abuses and declared the army administra- tion was determined to correct thsm so far as possible. No body regretted the evils more than the emperor, who never lost an opportunity to impress tGe seri- ousness of the offenses which had been brought to light
 Referring to Lieutenant Ritson's book, "A Little Garrison" Ceiling of alleged actions discreditable to officers for writ ing which the lieutenant was sentenced to six months imprisonment and dismiss sab, the war minister said it contained certain amount of truth. but it was not true that every lieutenant in the state garrisons, lived as Bitson had described. The minister did not deny the possibility of corrupt relations between officers and women in a few cases, but the assertion that such were the rule. was a islander against the German womanhood.
 BrutaIities Explained.
 Regarding the brutalities, the minister declared that such incidents were not wholly inexplicable. There was the bad private soldier as well as the bad ser geant and the bad private was largely responsible for the whole difficulty, sue ceeding by the most devilish ingenuity to so embitter the non-commissioned of 6n lot A.al T sl..& anger upon the weddings.

To Keep Up Courage.

Others, and many of them. feel like Grosvenor does. They are whistling for Roosevelt so to speak to keep up show of courage, but privately they feel that they have butted into hard proposition. It is said tonight that Mark Hanna will probably accept the chairmanship of the republican national committee again, placing himself in line for the republican nomination four years hence.
 The old man of finance and politics wants to be President badly He is full of regrets that he pledged himself just before the Ohio election not to be can didate this time but he cannot, after his pledge and now, l am told that he prom ises to do the best he can for the nominee. His expression in his speech to the na- tional committee today to stand pat on republican acts simply means a show Of courage.
 Hanna has told so many people that Roosevelt could not win against con- seryative democrat that his speeci today sounds like facetiousness. Yet he is put ting himself in line for the nomination four years hence.

General Grosvenor Gives Out an Inter- view Which Has Much Between the Lines-Hanna's Speech Sounds
 Like Facetiousness.

Washington, December 11-(Special)- "If we don't nominate Roosevelt he will defeat the man we nominate, so what's the use? We must nominate him"
 So said a national committeeman of more than two score years experience in republican politics today. His state ment sizes up the republican situation.
 The long-headed old men of the repub- lican party say he has antagonized all the people who elect Presidents but the men who want to oppose him dare not in the convention because they believe Roosevelt would turn his forces against them in the election. Roosevelt has called every man he has call upon and his lit- erary bureau has printed so much in the Washington papers in his favor that no man dare show his head above the sur face of the waters of opposition.
 Even old General Grosvenor of Ohio gives out an interview this afternoon for Roosevelt because he was called for it; but between the lines one can read much. The Ohio veteran says:

The Ultimate Issue.


 "The ultimate issue will lae Roosevelt and a republican house of representatives. or a democrat and democratic house of representatives. The campaign has been discussed in such a manner that the de- feat of Roosevelt in the convention would endanger the election of the candidate successful there Senator Hanna has been in absolute good faith in all that he has said about this matter, and yet no man can shut his eyes to the fact that the statement once made to me by Mir. Blaine was a true statement, when he said: It is the law of American poll tics that no man can make himself a candidate for President, and no man can prevent himself from being a candidate for President
 For one, I do not concede the danger that Roosevelt would lose New York and I furthermore insist that we can easily carry the country without New York and doubtless would be much stronger in some portions of the country if certain elements In New York were opposed to

EDUCATION AND CRIME.

A German magazine, DE IIoche
has studied the question of educa
ton and crime, and found that al
increase of school intelligence doe
not mean a decrease of dcpravity
The magazine finds that during
the last half of the past century
illiteracy in Europe was greatly
reduced. In 1910 SO per cent only
of the British people could write
while "a per cent of them can now
do so. Taking the entire CONT
nent of Europe, there has been an
increase of l45 per cent in the
number of persons who can write
in the period named, thoush the
population has increased only 80
per cent. Germany and the United
States are the two countries that
show least educational progress in
the period under review for The
reason that 90 per cent of their
people had elementary knowledge
in 1910, so that the large progress
since mlde by other n,tions was
for them impossible, France now
leads the march Of eduestion in
Europe. While Der population
has been almost at u standstill for
forty years past, her annual ex.
penditure on popular education is
five times as great as it was in
1860.
But this great increase in knowl-
edge has not been followed by a
corresponding decrease in crime.
Die Woche claims that in Germany,
which is not behind in education,
youthful criminals have increased
in recent years four timrs as fast
as the population. Professor
Lombrose has, it seems, arrived at
practically the same result lie
says that crimes of violence and
brutality have been fewer since
education became general, while
the crimes of craft and cunning,
such as embezzlement, forgery and
frauds of all kinds, have multi.
piled.
This is no more than could be
expected. Education dos not
change the moral character of any
one. 1t may impart polish TO Il e
surface; it may be laid on as a
veneer, but it does not change
pine into mahogany. People do
not do wrong because they know
no better. Most evil.doers know
better than they act. 1t is not
more knowledge that they need,
but regenerating power that will
change their very natures and
make them love virtue more than
vice,-Neos.
