GERMAN COURTS OF HONOR.


In fact. the sovereign is rendered by these laws
the mere executor OF the DEGREES Of the courts OF
honor. To these every officer has right TO appeal
for justice. And so great is their power that not
only can no serious punishment such as dismissal
be inflicted without the sanction or by the decree
of these courts OF honor but they even control the
appointment of regimental officers to various corps
Thus. the Emperor although he can grant COM
mission TO an officer, cannot appoint him TO regi-
ment without the consent OF the officers Of that
regiment or against their wishes expressed by
the officers assembled in a court of honor.
That is the reason why the German army. almost
alone among the armies of the civilized world, is
without any Jewish regimental officers. The Kali
ser is willing enough to grant them commissions:
has, indeed, conferred epaulettes upon them, but
has never yet succeeded in getting any of them
admitted to any regiment, the officers OF which,
possessing the same prerogatives as the members
OF club in the selection Of their comrades, in
variably blackbang Hebrew candidates
How jealous the German. and especially the
Prussian, officers of their constitutional rights in
connection with these courts OF honor may be
gathered from the fact that ten years ago
Prince Frederick OF Hohenzollern resigned the
command OF the Division of the Guards OF the
Prussian army because the Emperor declined to
accept to act upon the decision Of court or
honor declaring It TO be unjust. and demanding
reconsideration OF the matter by another court OF
honor. 1t is only fair to add that In this as IN
many other matters of the same kind. the Emperor
wac championing the cause or liberalism against
the prejudices OF military caste
MUCH THE SAME IN OTHER ARMIES.
In a modified form the condition of affairs
prevails in the armies OF Bavaria and Austria
that is TO say, the power of punishment and Of the
maintenance not merely OF discipline but OF the
honor among the officers is vested in the hands Of
the officers themselves While in way this is
OF advantage since It safeguards the interests OF
the officers both individually and whole, it has
its drawbacks. for It serves to maintain military
caste possessed OF ethics which in many respects
are narrow minded, antiquated and at variance
with the laws Of the LAND. and which the sovereign
is powerless to override.
From the above 1t viii be that Emperor
William has been handicapped in some of his most
liberal and enlightened projects for instance in
connection with the appointment of Jewish officers
to regiments. by the restrictions imposed upon him
by the terrs of the constitution: while, the
other hand, the late Queen Victoria and her sue
cessor. King Edward. have never exposed them
selves TO any charge OF abuse OF their power OF
dismissal OF officers of the army and navy without
judicial hearing, being guided in this IN other
matters by tactful appreciation of the will OF the
people. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.
