No one. not even Prince Alfonso of
Bourbon, the younger brother OF the late
Don Carlos and president OF the Interna-
tional Anti-Dueling League, has done
more toward diminishing the number of
single combats than Emperor William,
and whereas at the time Of his accession
there were considerably over 1900 en-
counters OF this kind in the German
army and navy each year. 1t is doubtful
whether the annual average to-day
amounts 10 a dozen, ali told
II I call attention TO this it is because
the Kaiser has within the last few weeks
issued a rescript dealing with the duello
and which from SIS tenor might convey
the impression that he encouraged in
stead OF discOuntenanced the practice,
and the matter therefore requires some
explanation. which will be found all the
more timely inasmuch as young Phila-

Cuts Down DueIs.
Emperor William has succeeded in d.
minishing the number OF duels IN his
army and navy, and particularly the
deadly encounters arising from tri1ing
disputes. by insisting that no combat OF
this kind shall take place until the mat
ter has been passed upon by court OF
honor, composed IN the main OF officers
OF the regiment or corps to which one or
both OF the adversaries may belong.
For in Germany almost every man Of
any social position holds a commission
either on the active or on the reserved
list OF the army or navy. The courts OF
honor are required by the sovereign to
determine whether or not a recOncilia-
ton is possible; whether an apology can
be made or accepted without loss OF dig
nifty, and, above all. II the subject OF the
quarrel is one worthy or settlement by
means of an armed encounter.
The Emperor takes the ground that
inasmuch as the honor Of the individual
officer affects the honor of the entire
regiment or corps 10 which he belongs
there can be no better judges OF what Is
necessary in the case than mis- comrades

THE RAJAHs OF BUSTAR.

The Rajahs OF Bustar are hybrid Bal

KAISER AND THE DUELLO
Real Meaning of Emperor Williams Recent Resrpt Sub
ject of Single Encounters Set Forth.

count. If they authorize a duel for causes
which he regards as inadequate. he is
apt to not merely eriticise the officers
composing IT, but even 10 demand the
surrender OF their commissions. On the
other hand, they are equally liable 10 be
punished IN this way If they err on the
side of too great leniency.
Method Effective.
This method of dealing with the duello
has proved effective. and the courts OF
honor, realizing how much they have at
stake. are extremely careful in their con-
sideratiOn OF the subjects submitted to
theal for decision.
Emperor Williams recent rescript deals
with the duello that has been not only
sanctioned. but even exaeted, By the
courts OF honor, and has been issued for
the purpose OF expressing his preference
FOR the sword or rapier as the weapon to
be employed in encounters OF this kind;
first OF all, because the sword is less
deadly than the pistol. and. secondly,
because it is calculated TO promote the
art OF workmanship and OF fencing. OF
which every officer of the army and Of
the navy should possess a mastery.
The Kaiser lays down the rule that
once the court Of honor has decided that
the circumstances OF case require that
duel should take place every honorable
man, no matter what his rank or posi-
ton, should be ready 10 give satisfaction
on the field OF honor: and this, OF course
IS equivalent 10 q declaration that any
officer declining TO comply with the de-
cree OF the court not only ineurs the i'm
perial displeasure. but likewise subjects
himself 10 the loss OF his commission, 10
exclusion from the service of the state
and. what is infinitely worse, 10 a social
ostracism calculated to render his con-
tinued residence in Germany, or even

Some attempt is at last being made
to train British walters to compete with
their foreign confreres. For this purpose
a school has been formed at London

chiefly with intelligent youths who have
