ON TRIAL FOR LIBEL.
German Officer Who Visited America
With Prince Henry.

BERLIN, October 22.-Count Wolff Won
Baudissin. kinsman of Rear Admiral Won
Baudissin, commander of the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern during the visit of
Prince Henry of Prussia to the United
States is on trial in the criminal court here
for libeling the officers corps of the Fusi-
lier Guard regiment, belonging to the
household troops, by satirizing them in
novel, entitled First Glass Men,
The prosecution is brought by the state
on the ground of the public welfare. Won
Baudissin, whose pen name Is Baron ven
Schlcht," is a retired army lieutenant, a
playwright and the author Of about twenty
books on military subjects or romances of
military life.
First Glass men" deals with the views
and extravangances of officers, their intense
caste spirit and the false attitude of So
ciety toward the officer class. The entire
novel was read in court. Won Baudssin,
in his defense, said he did not intend to re-
fer to any particular regiment, but to the
whole army He belonged to a military
family, served twelve years in the army
and educated his son for the army.
Won Baudissin resigned in order to have
freedom to criticise the faults of the army.
He had not read Lieutenant Bilse's book,
"a Little Garrison" but he had read Boyer
lein's Jena or Sedan.
Won Baudissin said the suicide of a young
friend, lieutenant in the army, caused
him to feel keenly the wrong system pre-
yailing. This youth was over s16.25O in
debt because lenders exaggerated their re-
spect of the officer class and loaned money
to the class and not to the Individual.
In urging the proper character of his
previous works Won Baudissn said Empe-
ror William had read them all and that
his plays had been witnessed by members
of the royal families of Prussia Saxony,
Austria and Russia.
