APPEALS TO COURT
FOR PROTECTION

MADRID, Mar 19.-The Madrid
beau monde has been much perturbed
by a grave scandal which took place
last week, and which has only just
come to light; at least the names OF
the interested parties have only to-
day been made public.
The Duchess of Medina de Rioseco,
of French origin and of considerable
personal attraction, is married to a
Spanish grandee. She is Of a very
Jealous disposition, and, having grave
doubts of her husbands fidelity, de-
termed to have him watched, with
| the result that the duke was discover
ed the other evening under very com
promising circumstances in the conf
pany of a notorious Madrid vaudeville
artist.
In accordance with Spanish custom
for failure to keep his matrimonial
vows, the duke was Immediately ar
|rested, but owing to his high military
rank was released on parole. On re-
turning to his dolnicile early in the
morning he rushed furiously into his
wife's bedroom and presented a pistol
at her head saying: "I'll teach you
to spy on me or mix yourself up in
my affairs!" and was only prevented
from shooting his wife by the inter-
vention of the servant.
The duchess has appealed to the
courts for protection from her hus
band and his threats to take her life.
He has been arrested and lodged in
the military prison. The duchess has
been ordered by the civil tribunal to

Labor Not for 1t.

1.-THE movement is in no sense a
democratic one, nor has it gained the
support of any representative body of
working men, as those who are push
ing it would have us believe he de-
clared today in an interview with
your correspondent. 'There is not a
single individual of influence among
the labor or socialist societies who APP

did at one time favor the idea has
recently changed his views and is will

than have the scheme adopted. There

they strongly deny that their scheme

Lord Roberts and his league.
zone of the arguments by which the
demand for compulsory training is
now being upported-namely that the
present territorial army is a failure
seems to me to be absolutely conclu-
sive that no system of compulsory
service could be enforced so long as
the attitude of the working classes re-
mains what it is.
THAT attitude may be wrong; or it
may be right But whether right or
wrong, it must be admitted that in
country like this, where ages of ira
dition have developed a general an
topathy to compulsory soldering, and
where such change as is now pro-
posed could only be brought about by
a government with the consent of
parliament, such a system could not be
enforced unless it was approved by
the overwhelming opinion of the ma
ton.

versal military training impossible in
this country so long as it is remem-
bered.
There is a further reason which in
fiuences many working men in this
connection. They recognize in the 'ex-
istence Of armies the main hindrance
to the coming together of the nations
of the world in closer friendship.
Therefore, in their opinion, their aim
should be toward the Encouragement
of militarism in all it's forms.
"You may depend upon it, that any
political party in England which would
put compulsory military training serv-
ice in its program would suffer an
electoral extinction without parallel"

TOO PROSPEROUS
SENT TO PEN

BERLIN, Mar. 19.-Gustav Woelferl-
ing, an eX-sergeant in the German
army, has just been sentenced to Is
years, hard labor as penalty for too
much prosperity.
Woelferling was long detailed as
secretary at the military headquar-
ters at Thorn, near the Russian fort
Ter, where he enjoyed the utmost con-
fidence and had access to confidential
military plans. Early in 1912 he re-
signed from the army with the best
wishes of his superior officers, but
suspicion was aroused when after a
few months of quiet life he began to
spend money more freely and place
mortgages on a scale all out of pro-
portion with his former pay and pen
sion.
The military authorities had him
closely watched and through counter
espionage and in other ways finally
established that the trusted sergeant
had for years been betraying to the
Russian authorities mobilization plans
and other material of great value to
them in case of war.
After a secret trial he was given the
highest possible sentence, Is years
at hard labor, fined $3.50 and mones
loaned on mortgages by him to The
amount of $17,650 ordered confiscated
to the state.

Not Popular With WOrkmen.

professional soldering has never
been popular with the British work
man. In spite of the alluring induce
ments for young men to join the army
it is a fact that the majority Of those
who do join are neither attracted by
those allurements nor impelled by pa
triotic motives to serve their country.
"They join because they find it hard
permanent and tolerable Often they
are simply driven to enlist as an only
means of livelihood The failure of
the old volunteer system and of the
present territorial system proves that
our workmen are without the mill
tary instincts which would make COM
pulsory service practicable, even if it
were acceptable.
Then there is not the fear of in
vasion in this country which is ever
present in the minds of those living
in continental lands. No invasion of
England has been successful for nearly
1000 years and whether there is any
real danger of invasion or not, this
long immunity has given a sense of
security which makes it extremely diff
ficult for the panic mongers to shake.
The working man can not see the ne
cessity for universal training for mere
ly defensive purposes, and they sus-
pect, and probably with good reason,
that the demand for national service
is nothing but the beginning of sys-
tenn which would turn this country
into a huge military barracks like
those of continental countries.
''The advocates of national service
contend that national defense is a duty
which is incumbent upon all citizens
of military age and sound physique.
The logic of that contention would be
unanswerable if certain conditions
were first guaranteed. National de-
Tense implies that there must be some
thing to defend | would not suggest
that even the poorest among us has
nothing which he values to defend, but
it must be stated that one reason
which influences the great body of
working men against this scheme is
the conviction that they have no stake
at present in the national welfare
which is really worth defending.
Moro Vital Issue
"There is duty primary to that of
universal service for national defense,
and that duty is to make the citizens
of the nation copartners in the nation
al inheritance and resources. Until
that is done, until those who are now
appealing to the patriotism of the
workers to equip themselves to defend
the country show more of that higher
patriotism which consists in throwing
open to all citizens the means of
healthy and cultured life and fair
share in national wealth and progress,
the appeal will fall largely on deaf
ears and unsympathetic hearts.
Experience in this and other coun-
tries has been a warning to the work
ers against military service. The
army is looked upon as force ready
to be utilized to oWerawe and subdue
the working classes. The action of
the government in the railway strike
of last year would alone make uni

Hartman, and Jim Rodgers, who was head coach last year, are working along lines indicated in their confer ences with the English coaches during the visit of the three to England last winter. They will prepare the oarsmen for the reception of the two Englishmen and for the final drill in the acquisition of the English stroke.
 The English coaches are expected two weeks before the oarsmen go to Gales Ferry for a full month of train ing in preparation for the Harvard races. It is believed the present coaches will teach the ruoiments thor ough1y and that the English stroke will be well under control before their arrival. They will endeavor to give the crews speed and smoothness, qua1- ities in which they were decidedly lacking last June.
 Nothing like speed has yet been at tempted by the Yale oarsmeh. There are three varsity eights in the regular squad and the first and second are rowing in almost paddles, coached by Hartman and Rodgers. Not till late in the month will racing be attempted. The stroke is little more than 20 to the minute at present, and all the coaching is focused upon the funda- mentals of rowing, a firm grip on the water at the catch, a thorough drive, an easy recovery, and control of the slide. The oarsmen remained dur ing the Easter vacation, rowing twice a day and their work showed rapid Improvement.

The per,ocraex of Death.


 Tn the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal There is nei- ther rank nor standing nor preroga- five in the republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise, and the song of the poet is silent Dives relinquiShes his millions and Lazarus his rags The poor man is as rich as the richest, and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor is acquitted of his obligation. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worldling his pleasures. The invalid needs no physician, and the laborer rests from unreQuited toll. Here at last is natures final degree in equity The wrongs of time are redressed, in- justice is expiated. the irony of fate is refuted, the unequal distribution of wealth. honor. capacity. pleasure and opportunity which makes life so cruel and inexpl1cabIe ceases in the realm of death.
