THE GERMAN ARMY.
Recent Scandals Are Being Comment
ed on by Officers.

co on by OHtCerS.
| Berlin, Jan. 16.-It is noteworthy that
the recent scandals in the German army
are now being commented on by retired
officers. A Capt. Clausen has written a
pamphlet, Mark Time in which he
says that both officers and non-commis-
stoned officers are no longer what they
were, and that a change must be made if
the efficiency of the army is to be kept
up He suggests a reduction in the num-
Der Of Leutenants in order to enable a
more careful selection of their success
ors to be made, and a raising of the stat
us of non-commissioned officers in such
way as to render possible their pro-
motion to sergeant lieutenants, who
would be able to take the place of retir
ing officers. The expansion of the army
during the last few years has been so
rapid that the creation of a proportion
ate corps Of officers has beer impossi-
BILE. Capt. Clausen pamphlet means
nothing more Or less than that the Ger
man army should mark time as far
as its numbers are concerned. in order
that the composition and morals of the
corps OF officers may be raised by a care
full process Of wedding out Count Capri
vi, who was a very capable general, also
protested against the rage de nombres.
Capt Clausens pamphlet is a variation
on the same theme but with a rather
different object He says:
1t is an open question whether a small
army, consisting Of picked troops, who
have been carefully trained. would not be
superior In the long run to one more num-
erous. but physically and morally inferior
After having gone for decades from in
crease to increase, it is now time to pause
in order to fit up the interior Of our skel-
eton building, and to use all our energy
and means to furnish the gigantic struc-
ture in durable fashion, instead of add
ing new floors. Everything can be rapid
~ improved and arranged. but capable
corps of officers and non-commissioned Of
ficers must exist, since it cannot be i'm
provised. These internal fittings cost a
good deal of money. yet it ought TO be de-
voted to the strengthening OF the internal
efficiency. and nos TO increasing the num-

Another cause of constant complaint by
officers is the almost permanent increase
of their expenses. for additions. decora-
tons. etc, TO their uniforms formerly So
simple. An imperial order has just been
published directing them TO wear shout
der straps on their great-coats- This
measure after the pattern of the great
coats Of ocean officers. is secretly much
resented by the officers. not only because
it will cause expense. but also because it
is very inconvenient. since the straps on
the tunics underneath VIII suffer consid-

ness of the lips, fever, pseudo-infiuenza,
constipation, insomnia, epistaxis (nose
bleed. and various pains. From this list
of symptoms experienced by his patients
and from the observed coincidence of cer-
tain diseases and meteorological conditions.
Prof. Ferm concludes that exposure to the
suns rays is a predisposing factor in CO.
ryza, influenza, hay fever and epidemic
meningitis. 1t is stated that, notwithstand-
ing the resulting i'll effects, only a few
more than half (53 per cent? of the sub
jects found the treatment disagreeable the
remainder distinctly enjoying 1t. While such
experiments cannot be taken as conclusive
that the sun acts as a cause of disease,
nevertheless they seem to indicate that
there is room for further investigation of
the subject, and 1T may be that in the near
future the range of phototherapy will be
broadened, and that sick rooms will be ar
ranged so as to supply light or darkness
or rays of any desired color or wave length
as may be required for the disease under
treatment.

Disease Caused by Sunlight.
From Harper's Weekly


While the rays of the sun possess a stim-
ulating and beneficial effect in disease and
can be used with advantage as therapeu-
tic agent. yet. according to recent investi-
cations. they also may act injuriously and
cause disease That there is a difference in
the therapeutic value between the actinic
rays. or those located at the violet end of
the spectrum. and the red rays was ap-
preciated by Finsen and the former were
used in the trea tment of such skin diseases
as lupus vulgaris, or tuberculosis of the
skin, while the latter were found effective
in cases of smallpox. One of the most re-
cent researches in this department is by
Prof. Fermi and is given in a late number
Of the Archiv fur Hygiene. In these ex-
periments a large number of human sub
3ects were exposed to direct sunlight for
varying periods. and in a large percentage
OF cases II was found that there resulted
the following set of symptoms: Cephalgia
(headache), dryness of the nasal mucosa,
snuffiing. coryxa (cold in the head). pharyn-
gifts. WEAKNESS. slight conjuncuvitis. dry

DAGO MURDERER WAS
GAME AT THE END

Auburn, N. Y. Dec. 14.-Nelson Bog
giano, "a years of age, was put to death
in the electric chair at the Auburn pris-
on for the murder of Henry Bender of
Buffalo, June 20, 1908. Boggiana, who
was an Italian, was infatuated with
Bender'S wife and determined to get
rid of the husband. While his victim
slept Boggiano crept into the house and
fired two shots into him and slashed his
throat until he had nearly decapitated
him. Bender's- wife gave the alarm
which led to the murderer's arrest. Bog
giano was an electrician and had said
he had no fear of death in the chair be-
cause he knew it would not hurt He
had also said that he and the public
executioner belonged to the same union
and that he was willing to help out a
brother unionist.

JUDGE WAS
IMPEACHED
THE HOUSE DECIDED TO d.
BOUNCE FLORIDA JUDGE
1t Was the First Proceedings OF This
Nature In Nearly Generation High
Crimes and Misdemeanors Were
Preferred Against Him.

Washington, Dec I4-Sitting as a
grand jury the house of representatives
with almost a full membership, after
more than five hours discussion
to the exclusion of all other
business, formed resolution
providing for the impeachment
of Judge Charles Swayne, of the north
ern district of Florida, for high crimes
and misdemeanors" The case against
the respondent was clearly set out by
Mr. Palmer, of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the subcommittee of the judi
ciary committee, which heard the evi-
dence in the case.
Following the adoption of the i'm
peachment resolution provision was
made for the appointment of FIVE mem
bers to notify the senate of the impeach-
ment and for a committee of several to
present the case to the senate. Today's
proceedings were the first of their kind
since the impeachment of 1876 of Gen
eral w. w. Belknap, who was secretary
of war in President Grants cabinet.
In the senate today number of pri-
vate bills and few bills of serni-public
character were passed and there was
some discussion of the pure food bill
by Messrs. McCumber, Platt Comm,
and Spooner A resolution granting the
use of the pension Office building for the
inaugural ball was passed. Mr.. Bailey
expressed opposition to it,

M'CUMBER WORKS FOR
THE PURE FOOD BILL

Washington, Dec. I4.-In the senate
Mr. McCumber moved to take up the
pure food bill. The North Dakota
senator cast the only vote in support
of the motion but no votes were cast
against it.
The aye has it," said the chair.
Mr. McCumber addressed the senate
in support of the bill, contending that
the government should protect the
country against adulterated food on
the same principle that it protected
them against counterfeit money. He
said the bill would work no injury to
any legitimate business.
Mr. Platt Comm took exception to
the failure of the bill to safeguard
from prosecution persons who may or
der impure goods.
THE object of the law is good,
he said, ''but | think it should be very
carefully considered, and it should not
be allowed to go beyond what is fair
and just in trade
He thought the bill could and should
be simplihed.
Mr.. Spooner, who expressed his
sympathy with the object Of the bill
agreed with Mr.. Platt that the bill is
not sufficiently guarded to protect the
innocent He thought the provision:
should be more explicit.

be 80 years old next spring. He makes
his home with married daughter in

The searchers4 numbered scores by
Sunday morning and it was not till Io
o'clock that Jacob Schuester, leading
a group of searchers, bethought him
to step over to the mouth OF desert
ed shaft, mile northwest OF town, and
call down the vertical well.
His answer was a husky shout from
the depths, and in a few moments q
rope and windlass from nearby shaft
were moved over and Schuester was
lowered to the bottom, to find one oi
the cheerfulest of prisoners sitting up
right on a stone. 6#. IN
After being taken home physician
searched vainly for hurts.
Mr.. Rowe had slipped at the mouth
.of the shaft and fallen in feet first,
landing in that position after bound
ing and, rebounding from the sides Of
the shaft several times.
