Berlin special: The kaiser. who ever
since his meeting with the czar at Wies-
baden has. let no opportunity slip by to
show his friendship for Russia. shortly
before his departure not only sent a per
sonal letter to the car, but even ordered
Colonel Won Schenck, the commander OF
the Emperor Alexander regiment, to go
to st. Petersburg 10 study the uniforms
of the Russian infantry.
AS a compliment to the car 1t mas now
been decided to abolish the present uni
form of the regiment and adopt new uni
forms for both officers and men after
Russian pattern.
Even the swords of the officers will be
an exact copy of those used by the Rus
| sian officers Of the guard, and colonel
Won Schenck will bring samples OF these
back with him from Russia.
The socialists promise to make 1t very
unpleasant for General Won Einem when
the affair Is brought up before the Reichs-
tag.
1t is by no means a pleasure to be min.
lister of war under Kaiser Wilhelm.
Protestants Protest.
The repeal OF the law against the Jes-
:, uits, which again opens the country to
these fanatic workers of the Catholic
church. has stirred up the Professionals all
yer Germany and several OF the states
as well as the free city of Lubbock are
making energetic protests against their
admission.
It is a general complaint that wherever
the Catholic clergy possess any influence
the population Is being kept in ignorance
and educational work is delayed.
From a village near Munich comes a
report which seems to show that the
priests even assist In spreading supersti-
ton among the peasants.
The other 6ov a nriaat left the train at
the village and was received b. a peasant
who had called him because he wanted
him to drive evil spirits out Of his cows,
which he said were bewitched.
Instead of enlightening the peasant OF
his mistake the priest accompanied him
to his farm, mumbled mysterious form
ulas over the possessed cattle, pocketed
his money n returned to the city.
It is not known whether the evil spirits
left the cattle, but the press Is exceed
inly bitter against the clergy who thus
confirm the lower classes in this kind OF
medieval superstition.
The return Of the Jesuits is sure to cause
serious disturbances in many parts OF
Germany, where their departure was fel;
as q relief.
