swerve in the least degree from the path
Of .:nauestionable obedience.
No efforts are spared to conceal the sys-
tenatic cruelty practiced by the officers
and non-commissioned officers of the
German army to inspire the common SOL
essary fear of their power and the de-
sired obedience to command. From time
to time astonishing details Of the methods
of maintaining discipline leak out into
public and send thrill of horror through
the ranks of the German nation. Some
times these details emanate from the
members of the socialist reichstag, some
times from the socialist newspapers whose
editors are ever on the alert to expose
abuses of this kind. There is one paper
in Berlin which makes a regular practice
of officers and non-commissioned officers
of charges of cruelty to the subordinates.
and these lists. with their dry details and
statistical facts. throw flood of light
on the real character of German mill
tarism. Some Of the recent cases OF sys-
tematic cruelty to soldiers are worthy OF
closer examination.
\ court martial which sat at Graudens
sentenced Sergt. Zuehlke of the 10th Com
pany of Infantry Regiment No. 100 to
degradation from the rank as non-com-
missioned officer and to one years i'm
prisonment for systematic cruelty to SOL
diers. The evidence taken in this trial
Welded the proofs that Sergt. Zuehlke had
been guilty Of ST. cases Of cruelty to his
subordinates during a period Of eight
months. Corp. Leibtg was sentenced to
six weeks imprisonment for aiding and
abetting Zuelke. and Corp. Mahlke to
four weeks detention for the same Of

MAY BAR OUT
FRENCH WINES
IF CALIFORNIA SULPHURED
FRUITS ARE EXCLUDED RETA-
LIATION MAY FOLLOW.

WASHINGTON, August 11.-Embas-
sador White cabled the State Depart
ment today to the effect that he had
made representations to the French
Government urging that its restrictive
regulations against the importation Of
dried fruits be suspended pending the
report of the commission appointed by
the President, and now working, on
the question of the alleged harmful
effects of the use of sulphur in curing
such fruits.
The French embargo threatens seri-
ously to interfere with the foreign
market for California fruits, and re-
taliatory measures are possible The
pure food experts of the Agricultural
Department say that sulphur is used
in the manufacture of all imported
champagnes, and if it be injurious in
the case of fruits, they hold that it
must be equally harmful in wines, if
not more so.
The importers of French wines are
alarmed over the situation. and they
are likely to join forces with the fruit
men in urging on France the advisa-
bility of suspending the regulations
barn ing the fruits until the official de-
termination of the effects of sulphur
as used i'm California.

IN AIR AND EMPEROR is BE-
HIND THE COMMITTEE.

BERLIN, Aug. Cone million dol
lars is promised Count Zeppelin to
have him continue his study of airship
building and the tilted inventor will
continue his experiments and build an
other and bigger airship to take the
place of the craft which was destroy
ed by lightning while completing a
marvellous air voyage. A national
committed is raising money, which is
nearly all pledged.
Count Zeppelin said today that he
hoped to be able to make the twenty
four-hour reliability trip with zeppe-
lin No. s. He will Immediately con-
tinue the construction of his new diri-
gible, as there will now be no difficulty
in securing the necessary money. Air
ship No. has been building for some
months and can be rushed to compile
ton, it is said, within sixty days.
When Count Zeppelin was seen to-
day by "The Examiner" representative
he said:
81 have much work ahead of me,
but the one great difficulty has been
surmOunted in that | shall have the
necessary money at my disposal to
carry out future experiments"
The King of Wurtemberg called on
Count Zeppelin today and conveyed
the regrets of Emperor William on the
destruction of the dirigiblc at Ech-
terdingen.

commander Of the Pacific fleet It
will be remembered that THE Big
Four" the West Virginia Colorado,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, were here
last year.
In the afternoon of August 10 the
Colorado, which but for the accident
would have sailed with the other,
backed from a grounding on the beach
near Liplip Point, Puget Sound, where
she had poked her steel bow between
monster boulders. She~returned to the
navy yard for repairs.
The cruisers now en- route to Homo
lulu constitute the first squadron of
the Pacific fleet, the Colorado lacking.
The protected cruiser Charleston was
also to have come but plans were
changed.

mands the West Virginia and the other
boats are commanded as follows:

Pennsylvania, Captain Frank A. Will

COLORADO DETAINED.
The cruiser Colorado will be detain-
ed at the Bremerton navy yard for
several weeks undergoing repairs for
the damage suffered when she ran her
nose on the shore at Lip-Lip Point.
This fact was gathered from the exam
ination of her hull made by divers.
The divers made thorough inspec-
ton of the ships bottom. 1t was
found that the vessel hard suffered lit
tie damage on the port side. The plates
on the starboard side. however, for
about 100 feet from the bow, are badly
denied and the rivets so sprung that
some of the plates hang by the riyets
and can be moved by pressure Of the
hand. Eight plates at least will have
to be removed. The docking keel on
the tsarboard side is also badly dam
aged and it is estimated that several
weeks work will be necessary to put
the cruiser again in service.
