CRUELTY IN THE
KAISER'S ARMY
Herr Bebel Wonders PriyateS
Do Not Defend Themselves.
STRONG TALK BY SOCIALIST
PRESENT SYSTEM OF MANEU-
VERS WORTHLESS.

nERLIN. March Am the reichstag
Is today long speeches were made by
Herr Bebe., the socialist leader,
and General Won Einem. minister OF
war. on military affairs. Herr Bebei
adversely criticised various conditions
in the army, and quoted military writ
ers in support of MS views. He main
tanned that the present system Of army
maneuvers was useless, and cited a
military writer who had said that il the
army was led in the next war as it was
during the last maueuvers attended by
the emperor. the defeat OF Germany
would be unavoidable. Drill is a mere
preparation for parade display; there
is too much luxury in the army, ana
the frequent changes Of uniform tend
to increase this luxury.
Herr Bebel referred TO the maltreat-
ment Of soldiers, and asserted that
nothing was done TO prevent this. He
said the fact that the electoral prince OF
Saxe-Meininscu had been dismissed
from the command of the Sixth army
corps Immediately after issuing an or
der against the maltreatmelt Of SOL
diers had created a peculiar impress
sion.
Would Hazard His Life.
I wonder the socialist leader con-
tinued. that privates 50 seldom resort
10 self-defenSe. II were maltreated
as a soldier 1 could not control myself
1 would say. here's a hazard for your
life
He attacked the administration Of
the army for suppressing the discus
sion of military questions in the press
by officers on the active or inactive
lists. and declared that army officers in
France have full liberty Of discussion
General Won Einem denied the right
of the socialists to say that they were
helping TO improve the army, since
they disseminated discomfort Social
list recruits. he said. enter the army
with a spirit that fosters inSubOrdina-
tion, and this is responsible for much
of the maltreatment He denied that
the prince of Sake eningen had been
dismissed on account Of his order
against maltreatment, and said:
The Highest Glass.
Whom his majesty appoints as a
corps commander IS purely a private
affair of his majesty the emperor ut
terly decline 20 speak of this matter
because know nothing about It. More
over. the prince was not dismissed, but
was made an inspector general. ON
GERS Of the corps are the highest class
in the nation. because they are the edu-
Gated flower of the nation"
At this remark Herr Bebel shouted;
The highest class IN the nation IS
the teachers"
General Won EiBem. continuing. de-
MED that the German maneuvers were
worthless, and said that Lord Kitten
ener was introducing similar maneu-
vers into India as a result Of the eN-
perience gained at the battle Of ON

was called TO the stand by Senator
HOar at the opening of tOday's pro-
ceedings before the senate committee
on privileges and elections in the in
VestigatiOn Of protests against Senator
Reed SmoOt Of Utah. Senator Hoar
desired Information on the subject OF
tho rights OF women in the church
aud whether they hold any priestly
authority. Mr.. Smith said women are
regarded as equals OF the men in all
matters Of voting, but that in holding
"priestly authority women are not
regarded on the same plane. He ex-
planned that the women have a chart
table association known as the ''Wo-
mems Relief Society" in which they
have authority to perform certain pre-
FCribed duties. This authority is con-
fined TO the relieving Of distress, but
women are not ordained high priests,
apostles or elders.
Polygamy a Command Of God.
