emperor has issued ukase increasing
all along the line the penalties for the
completely of officers and men in polit-

important still is the fact that the
discretion now permitted to military
courts in the matter of the reduction
of the penalties incurred by convicted
men is entirely withdrawn Sailors

The emperor issued the ukase as
