PEN DEFEATS SWORD.

UPHEAvAL IN GERMANY.
Criticises Brutality in Army and
Arouses Public Conscience-Many
Courts-Mar Called
as Result
Berlin (Germany) special.


Franz Adam Beyerlein, the young
Saxon writer, has done more with his
novels and dramas of German military
life to prove that the pen Is mightier
than the sword than any author of his
generation
Two years ago an obscure tyro. to-day
finds him famous. and the dominant lit
erary figure Of the hour in Germany.
Two works. q novel and a play. have won
him reputation and fortune: The ro-
nance Jena or Sedan ?" and the stirring
drama OF German barrack life, Zap
fenstreich-"
Both portray in strikingiy vivid form
the modern aspects Of German militar-
ism in such reality that the public con-
science Of all Germany has been aroused
as never before to the evils Of the grind
ing system and all its attendant bitter
ness and hardships.
Jena or Sedan?" has broken all Ger
man records for sales. More than 200,-
900 copies have been printed and sold,
. figure never before approached in the
history Of the German book trade. The
kaiser Is said to have thum bed 1t through
three times. Army officers have made
It the subject of passionate debate. and
the reichstag has rung with angry quo
tations from its pages by members Of the
social democratic party, who find 1t un-
rivaled material for their incessant at
tacks on the governments military pol
icy.
Beyerlein is a native OF little manu-
featuring town in Saxony, renowned for
the production of Meissen pottery. As
a young man of 21 he served his year
with the colors as an artilleryman at
the garrison of Pirna, near Dresden,
where his shrewd powers OF observation
| and retentive memory supplied him
| with the material with which he was
destined later to win literary renown.
The garrison Of Pirna, under another
name. is the place at which the scenes
described In Jena or Sedan?" are sup
posed to have occurred.
The intsrrogatory title of the book
was chosen by Beyerlein to indicate that

man Of the police board, in fulfillment
of his announced policy to stop all
illegal be i.!s and prize fighting i'll the
city. Fig other men who were held
for the action of the grand jury on the
charge of aiding and abetting the fight,
also were discharged. no bill nav
ing been found in each instance. 1t is
understood that the management of
the various athletic clubs where the
sparring contests have been held will
interpret the report Of the grand jury
as a ruling that boxing legally may be
resumed in Boston.
An indictment charging murder was
lington. VT. who is alleged to have shot
and killed Mrs. Sadie Peters at a lodg-
Ing house at the South end.
William +. Mannix was indicted on
the charge of forgery. He was arrested
ed on suspicion of having used the
name of George Il. CortelyOu. secretary
Of the department of commerce and Ia
Dor, and also on suspicion of trying to
use the name of Gov. Bates.
Elmer T.. Levitt, formerly of the
shoe firm of Lamkin & Foster. was in
dicted on several counts for the alleged
larceny of 100000 from the National
Exchange Bank and the National
Union Bank. 1t is alleged that he pro-
cured this amount by making false rep
resentation.
The disappearance of 100 valuable
books from the public library is the
basis Of an indictment for larceny in
seven counts found against Frederick
H. Bates.
