Berlin, July 31.-The sensational dis
closures Of corruption In the German
army by DIR. Carl Lebknecht. the 500
ialist deputy, in the imperial parlia-
ment on April 1s. came up today when
q court martial convened to try the
military officers charged with accept
ing bribes for giving information con-
corning government contracts. Four
officers Of the ordnance department
wers brought before the Judges. They
woro LieutenAnts Tillian. Hinst, Hoge
and schleuder. to whom was entrusted
the supervision Of many Of the am
munitlon and arms contracts at vari-
Gus arsenAls and factories thruout
Germany.
Chief Clerk Pfeitfsr and two non
commissioned officers Of the ordnance
corps were also In the prisoners en-
closure
It had been charged by DR.. Lieb-
knecht that Corruption and bribery
on the part Of munition companies'
was prevalent and that there was an
organised scheme for raising war
scares and thus causing the govern
ment to spend more money on armA- j.
ments.
Civilians Face Criminal Charges.
The civilian offenders who included
the alleged briber, on behalf Of the
ordnance companies and also directors
of these concerns. will come before
an ordinary criminal court at later
date.
1t was decided to permit the admis-
0ion of twenty reporters to the tiny
court room. and these and q few mill
tary officers formed the audience. Con-
trary to the usual custom the trial
was held with open doors. but report
ers ana others not officially pressn:
were excluded during the reading OF
the. confidential reports and other pa
pers seized from Krupp's representa-.
t'tlves and containing information II.
legitimately obtained and Of vital in.
terest TO the national defense.
Tho accused officers appeared in full
uniform and wearing decorations on
their breasts. The formal charge was
the betrayal Of military secrets. the
acceptance Of bribes and insubordi-
nation.
No Criminal Intent 10 Plea.
The accused altho admitting the
COMMUNICATIONS Oh SeCret ln1Ofmatlon
to the Krupps. protested that this had
been done without criminal intent,
since they believed there were no Sc
crets between the German government
ana the Krupps.
The accused officers were the first
to be called to the witness stand. They
admitted that the information betrayed
by them to the Krupps representative
would have been Of great Importance
II 1t had reached foreign powers.
It was shown that the accused had
acted out Of good fellowship with the
Krupp representatives rather than be-
cause Of the small sums received by
them. and nothing particularly new or
sensational was evoked during the ex-
animation.

Great Britain was not in q position to

Both the British foreign office and

announcement made some time back
that Great Britain had decided in prtn-
cipls to participate in the exposition.
It has been mooted for some time,
however. that the dispute In regard to
Panama canal tolls might possibly lead
to this result. and the present nottflca-
ton Of nonparticipation 10 attributed
to that cause. -
Germany Also Displeassd.
After exhibiting much concern over
places to be assigned to prospective
exhibitors by tho management OF the
Panama Pacific exposition. the British
government finally sent its notice de-

and has been the cause Of deep concern

Bryan ls Hepsful.
In the case Of Great Britain. how
ever, It is not positively known what
basis for objection now :emains. 1t
is thought. however. that while the
reason assigned by the British govern
mont Il . belief that there have been
too many expositions in recent years
the underlying objection is based on
the view Of incongruity Of British par
ticipation in an event designed to cele-
brate the opening Of the Panama canal
while there is dispute as to its free
use.
Secretary Bryan said today that he
had not abandoned hope that Great
Britain and also Germany would recon-
slider their decisions and finally par
tictpate In the exposition. While he
announced no plan Mr.. Bryan tnti-
mated there would be negotiations
pressing those nations to take part.
