KAISER STAMPING OUT
CRUELTY To RECRUITS
Makes Pressing Appeal for Sterner
Measures of Suppression in Address
to Commanding Generals.
PECULIAR SITUATION ARISES

Special Csble TO The Washington Herald.
Berlin. June 13.-The Kaiser Is again
attempting to stamp out cruelty to army
recruits. Gen. Falkenhayn. the Minister
of War, in a recent speech in the Reich.
stag. adopted the usual attitude Of call
ing the cases of cruelty much less grave
and less frequent than charged. but later
in his grafton surprised his hearers by
announcing that the Emperor had once
more intervened in person.
In his annual (confidentiaD address to
commanding generals. too. the Kaiser
made very pressing appeal for sterner
measures Of suppression. 1t was a
strange coincidence that a few days be-
fore there had been a serious incident,
involving a protest to the Imperial Gov
ernment, from the French Ambassador.
arising from the German campaign
against the French Foreign Legion. and
that few days later, there should be
an appeal by the prosecuting counsel
against two otherwise rather sharp SEN
tences against a couple of curaissier
guards. involving brutal punishment In
ficted by older recruits.
Public opinion Is curious to know
whether this case is to establish a pre-
cedent. In the recent debate in the
Reichstag on the military estimates a
Socialist member stated that the number
Of suicides in the army between 1870 and
1910 was 1898, and that in the same
period there had been 2.353 unsuccessful
attempts to commit suicide. Gen. Faul-
kenhayn did not refute these figures but
argued that since they amounted to only
.S per thousand among the military ele-
ment. and the figure for civilians be-
tween 20 and IS was SO per thousand.
they did not bear the very grave inter-
probation that was placed upon them.
But be this as it may, II Is admitted by
all who look into the matter that the
severity and cruelty of non-commissioned
officers. and as in this case. of elder re-
cults, are the most important factors in
providing about a couple of thousand
soldiers for service under the tri-color
in the Foreign Legion.

nag In the new FeQeral League.
Naturally, as the Cubs have been
thumped a plenty on their eastern
trip, there are rumors flying around
that the athletes are indulging in JOY
rides and further antics that impair
their ability and make them soft for
the opposing squads.
Judging the temperaments of the
Cubs, the story does not ring true.
Most of the West Side players are

They are not losing because of JOY
rides, but simply are playing ball too
punk to even defeat the poor teams
encountered.
As ball is being played in the Ma
tional League at the present time,
Boston is the only real ball team en-
countered in the east so far. The
others have good individual ability,
but there seems to have been a let
down in teamwork and pepper
throughout the National circuit.
Again remembering that Boston must
always be excepted.
O'Day's men lost yesterday be-
cause bone-headed work was bunch
ed with a mechanical error and some
bad pitching in one round. Five runs
resulted for the Giants and not hit
was used in the assembling of the
TALES. Sweeney and Zim contributed
the boners, Derrick tossed in the me-
chanieal' error and Pierce and label
did the mediocre pitching.
This Giant series has about ended
the Cub hopes for pennant. They
may get close again, but then Bos-
ton or New York will come along and
kick away the props and Wen skid
for the bottom Of the first division.

Cubs would have been in third place.

Proper cultivation is an important

across the rows with either Of these
implements, using the section harrow
with the teeth slanted backward with
an angle Of 45 degrees and repeat a
week later at right angles with the
first cultivation.
