None Of these objections. however, and
mono of the efforts Of the two greatest
political parties IN Germany have sue
ceedcd in abolishiuE the duel The Centre
has little and the Socialist party no in
fuence whatever among the classes which
take an active interest in the duelling
hs bit, namely, the active officers and the
officers in reserve. who are mostly uni
versty men
In every German garrison town the OIL
GERS form a special section Of society, which
comes rarely in contact with civilians
They cultivate their particular sense OF
honor, the "StandesehTe," or "honor ol
profession" and the officer who would
shirk the recognized form Of personal jus
tice, the duel, is either marked as cow
position TO the views OF his comrades that
he has become impossible in his profession
The army. then constitutes one bulwark
for the maintenance OF the duel. Its at
titude IS a sort Of self-preservation as a
distinct and distinguished social body
Therefore the army casts out mercilossly
any officer who di agrees with the ortho-
dox view on this poirt. and ostracises any
civilian from the messroom who does not
when called on give satisfaction"
University life prepares the young Ger
man student for the standard of honor
which is expected from him when. some
years later he enters the officers corps de
reserve At the universities the students
form clubs, and one Of their favorite pas
times Is fencing.
Now, there Is a msconception abroad
that this fencing is synonymous with duel
ling. In reality 1t is quite a harmless
sport. The vital organs are amply pro-
tected, and the effect ,r g.. = a duel-the
Germans call IT "Mensur," az distinguished
from real duel-is generally one or two
cuts OH the left cheek. An American foot
ball match may have graver results. MOI

DUELL|NC IN GERMANY
Some Reasons Why Archaic Gus
tom Persists.

The Enelshman may live a long time in
MS favored places IN Germany-st Dres-
.lan. or even at the old university tnwn OF
,f.idelberg-and yet never hear personally
OF an affair which has led 20 a duel In
fsct he will very likely form the opinion
mat the duellng habit has practically Id
cut In Germany. as II Eus done long ago in
England.
This is quite a natU'al mistake, as the
German Is most reticent on such matters.
There are some Latin countries where the
duel has become sort OF social advertise
ment an event which is not missed by re-
porters. photographers, and perhaps, cine
ma operators. Not so in Germany. Far
from being a social function, 1t is an exc
cution Of justice-or prejudice, according to
how you look at It.
The duel is unwritten law for certain
class. a law contradicted by the written law.
All the public hears OF II is contained in
q newspaper notice which says laconically
Mr.. has been sentenced 10 three weeks
confinement in a fortress because he took
pGrt in a duel" Or one reads that the
name OF Mr. B. officer in reserve. has been
struck out Of The army list because he re
fused to take part in duel.
There is. OF course. strange discrepancy
between these two judgments. The one pun
ishing the duellist derives its origin from
the common penal law. On the other hand,
the Judgment punishing the anti-dueist
with expulsion from the ranks Is part Of a
special class law. the military law, which
IL only applicable to the military profess
sion.
This class distinction is the principal OBJ
lection the Socialist party has against the
duelling habit. They contend that the duel
exempts the military caste from the COM
mon law. reserves for them q special pri-
vate Justice, and allows them to murder In
cold blood. II only certain formalities are
respected. Two workmen would be SEN
fenced to many years Of hard labor for a
light which led TO blo0dshed. And yet,
being less educated to self-control, they
would. according to the socialistic view.
have more excuse TO commit the crime.

How. then. do tho German aincrents to

the honor OF each aud every man equal.
Therc is a special honor attached to each
profession lntinsiCally It IS worse for

say. FOR . tailor Now it IS fact that
the German civil law makes wholly made

which are generally the raisOu d'etrc of

Another reason brought forward In de-
fence OF the duel il that IT is not 10 the
taste of many to have their Intimate fam
ily affairs judged by strangers and lald
bare by the press. They prefer, In regard
to their personal affairs, TO take IN" eX-
ecution of justice into their own hands and
to see privacy maintained. Thus the duel
ling habit is to some extent the reason why
German newspapers do not and can not fill
their columns with details Of divorce cases.
There is no prospect that the Centre
or the Socialists viii succeed In the near
future In their efforts 10 ban the duel IN
Germany. University education and the
commission az officer or as reserve officer
are two much coveted assets in the social
and professional life Of the German. and

military service that strengthens, in the
