HARDEN MOLTKE CASE
FURTHER SCANDALS I MPEND-
IN THE GERMAN ARMY.

Special Cahlegram to The Star.
BERLIN, November 23.-For the mo-
ment the possibilities of Harden-b batting
seem to have been exhausted. and the
press is turning it's attention to other
aspects of the great scandal. 1t is no
slight testimony to the character of the
editor of the Zukunft that his many enc
mics in their inconsequential attacks
have found nothing worse to allege
against against him than that he is of
Jewish origin, that he was chosen by
Bismarck as a confdant. and that he has
defended himself against the libel action
with striking ability and resourcefulness
The potentialities of this meager material
were soon at an end, and other and more
important sides of the affair are now be-
ing eagerly discussed.
A somewhat cryptic utterance of the
Berlin correspondent of the kolnische
Volkszeitung may or may not be merely
the fruit of inferential conjecture. 1t
hints mysteriously that all manner of
things are going on in the political alti-
tudes of which the bulk of the nation
has no suspicion. The emperor, it is
said. takes up quite different attitude
toward the events of the last few weeks
from that which is attributed to him in
the press. 1t may be remarked that the
Kolnische Volkszeitung would have done
we'll to have indicated what this latter
attitude is. for it is not discoverable from
nrincinal ca1I
Next the correspondent goes on to say
that all kinds of surprises are impend-
ing. and that experts in political prog
nostication regard the Moltke-Harden
case as the most important event that
has occurred since the dismissal of Bis
marck. 1t is added that the thick end
of the affair has yet to come.
Even If it referred only to the judicial
feature of the matter, this would appear
to be highly probable, for the proceed
ings in the public prosecution can hardly
be circumscribed to the same extent as
IN the private suit of the ex-commandant
of Berlin. The Berl!ner Tageblatt, COM
menting on the apocalyptic communica-
ton of the Kolnische Volkszeitung CORE
spondent, says:
so far as the attitude of the emperor
toward the Moltke-Harden process is con-
cerned. we have grounds for believing
that his majesty judged the issue of the
proceedings very calmly. Even after the
opening days of the hearing opinion at
court was rather favorable than unfavor-
able to Count Moltke. OF course, that
does not exclude certain energetic meas
ures which will probably be first percepti-
Bile in high military circles
One Case Suppressed.
Both the papers quoted above may Dos
sibly have drawn some of their inspira-
tons from a Potsdam communication to
the Militarische Correspondence, which
says:
THE imperial cabinet order under

dated Donauechngen. November II. The
| previous history of this resignation has
hitherto not been fully known. The
counts orderly had on peculiar grounds
asked for relief from his position. The
count was thereupon called upon by his
| regimental commander, Col. Baron Won
Richthoven, to report as to his conduct
toward the orderly. This summons the
count avoided by reporting himself ill.,,
and sending in his resignation, which was
accepted, not at once, as might have been
expected from the special circumstances
of the case, but unostentatiously and
simultaneously with the announcement of
the other changes of the month. AS the
right to bear the regiments uniform was
not granted to the reSigning officer, there
could be no doubt in the army as TO the
not uneXceptional grounds for his depar-
ture. In Potsdam officers circles. where
the long intimacy of Harry Lynar with
Willy Hohenau was we'll known. sus-
picion at once arose against the general

cions to their superiors. Confidential in

''How far these Investigations had any

is only certain that the chief war lord
at that time received no intimation of the
grounds of suspicion against member of
his military suite, nor of the fact of the
issue of the inquiry N the Hohenau af-
fair. Now, at last it has become known
to the monarch that a year ago high mill
tary personages in his encourage were in
a position to enlighten him to sus-
picions concerning Count Hohenau, and
that by their silence they have neglected
an earnest duty. Considerable changes in
high military and court positions are, con-
sequently, believed to be impending
The communication adds that the en-
peror entirely approved the course fol-
lowed by the judicial authorities. He has
expressly declared his agreement with
the previous non-intervention of the pub
lie prosecutor, and with the hearing of
| the case in open court. What is said here
and elsewhere as to further actions by
Count Moltke and Prince Eulenburg may
| well be disregarded till the final issue of
the pending prosecution of Herr Harden
is known and that will be some time yet.

The National Anthem.
From Army and Navy Life.

From Army and Navy Life.
Washingtonians who attend band con-
certs are rapidly adopting the foreign Gus
tom of arising and uncovering the heads
when national airs are played. The
Star Spangled Banner especially evokes
this mark of respect, and a salute to the
flag accompanies other patriotic demon
STATIONS. At the beginning Of the sea-
son of band concerts very few people
troubled themselves to observe the GUS
tom. and those few were either soldiers
or former members of military organiZa-
tons in which the salute is required. The
lack of respect received unfavorable no.
tice, and Lieut.. Santelmann, director of
the United States Marine Band, more than
once expressed regret that the crowds
at the concerts failed to attest their pa
triotic sentiment when the national an
them was played. 1t was said by the di-
rector of the band that Americans prided
themselves upon being the most patriotic
people earth. and had as a common
expression, Insult the flag and you in
suit each of US" yet when they had an
opportunity to show respect for that flag
they let 1t slip by. Foreigners also have
made sighting remarks about the atti-
tude of the Americans when their nation
al airs are rendered, and looked on in sur
prise when 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
was played before a crowd sitting or
lounging around on the ground apparently
listless. But during the past summer
hundreds of foreigners have frequented
the city. and the soldiers from the marine
barracks and Fort Myer. Va, who are
very much in evidence at the concerts.
have taught the plain American citizens
for the colors Their teachings
have had the effect which Lieut. Santel-
mann has long desired. When the first
strains of the anthem are begun the SOL
diers are first to leap to their feet. but
civilians follow Immediately. OF course
some salute awkwardly, but many have
learned to salute with as much ease and
grace as to make it impossible for the OBJ
server to distinguish the former soldiers

The Word "Widow."

AS a word widow is most interesting.
Max Muller traced it back through thou
sands of years with hardly any change of
form or meaning. 1.-The word at it's orig
inal formation meant simply a woman left
without man, just as it does today and
it has remained all these ages materially
unchanged both in sound and meaning. A
thousand years ago the Anglo-Saxons
used the word in England and north Ger
many. The Meso-Goths and, earlier than
they, the Latin people knew it centuries
before the Anglo-Saxons, and the Sanskrit
records show that a thousand years be-
fore Latin was written the same word was
spoken on the slopes of the Himalayas.
