maltre6tment of private soldiers in the
army.
The case Of Sergeant B%reitenbach.
who was recently sentenced to eight
years In prison, having beer found
guilty on 1907 count of abusing pri-
vate soldiers. has had an epilogue. and
there Is no doubt that this is the kais-
er's heavy hand which is being felt.
Emperor William is known to have
said to the minister of war that when
soldiers q been abused those who
were really guilty were not the petty
officials. but those in IN of the
companies aid regiments.
The colonel of Sergeant Breltcnbach's
regiment has, therefore, been removed
from his command n sent to the post
OF Thtonville. which means the same
- absolute disgrace. The captain of
the company in which all these abuses
nave taken place has been sentenced by
n court-martial to one month in pris-
on Tor having been found guilty of
gravely neglecting his duties In toler-
attng the actions of Sergeant Breiten-
bach. The lieutenants Of the
nave received similar sentences. All
the non-cOmmissioned officers of his
company whose testimony has been
taken unanimously placed the blame on
the captain, accusing him OF too great
lentency toward the privates and de-
reno Sergeant Breitenbach for trying
to maintain by acts which. in their
eyes. were perfectly justifable the old
Iashioned German military discipline.
When seeing the testimony the kaiser
