DUEllING GETS SETBACK
German Army Dismissed and
Sentenced to Fortress.

Metz. Germany. March 2l-Lieutenant
Won Ia Nalette Saint George, OF the seth
German Infantry Regiment, was to-day
sentenced TO thirty months imprisonment
In fortress on a charge Of killing Lieu
tenant Haage. his comrade. in a duel on
February e. lie was also dismissed from
the army. The court found that the pris-
oner by his conduct had provoked the
duel and had gravely wronged the honor
Of Lieutenant Haage.
The severe sentence imposed upon the
lieutenant is the first really sever blow
delivered against duelling among army
officers. The court by its judgment has
virtually given notice that officers who
wrong the family honor Of fellow officers
are not 20 ne treated as gentlemen. and
the fact that they vanquish their op-
ponents viii not rehabilitate their own
honor.
The sentence is in line with the re-
marks made in she Imperial Parliament

Police Prevent Subterfuqe.

About a year ago the license of the most
popular all night cafe was curtailed to
3 o'clock by the police. who made the clos
ing time Of several others an hour or so
earlier. ana the result was that from .
o'clock onward the "bummlcr' had 20 find
temporary accommodation I'm a quarter
where otherwise il IS scarcely sought FOR
at the railway station restaurant, which
opened at $50 O'Clock After an hour or
30 there he was able to go nome in a
peaceful tramCar or TO continue the
"bummeF in one or other Of the beer and
coffee houses that begin to open about
that time
But the police contrived 10 defeat this
simple subtcrfuge. first of all by eNacting
that all visitors 10 the railway restaurant
should be bona foe travellers. or at least
they should be possessed of railway tick
cts. The consequence was that the book
incs for suburban stations increased by
leaps and bounds without the early morn
ing trains being even appreciably fuller
than usual
Not 10 be beaten by this maneuvre the
police a few days alo posted an order
that those who visited the restaurant
were not only TO be holders of tickets,
but were also to use them. Each train
was announced an due time. and ticket
holders were warned to take their seats
or suffer the consequences. For two days
or more these consequences were nothing
more serious than lecture by the police
man on duty. but the next day the police
showed that they really meant business.
Those who held tickets for stations
served by the trains We're fOrcibly re-
moved from the building if found in the
restaurant after the train had left. rs
many protested that they had changed
their mind and had full right to travel
by the next train. there were several
lively scenes. Names and addresses were
taken Of some OF the recalcitrants and

Case Goes to the Courts.

Naturally the matter attracted general
interest especially when the convicted
party edited a pamphlet in defence Of his
position. and claimed the right TO be able
TO drink a glass of beer or "A cup Of coffee
at least somewhere" in Munich between
the hours of , and i'm the morning. An
other writer has since taken "A case be-
fore two courts on the ground that the
police had no right to prevent him from
travelling by train later than the one
he had either ostensibly or really intended
10 travel by. But his claim has not been
indorscd as yet.
Meanwhile the spokesman of the notice
force has minated that as Munich is not
TO be counted among the great cities
It has no need of night institutions with
which such cities are equipped But this
has not by any means put an end To the
appeal for greater freedom for the "bumm-
Ter" Those at the head OF the move

Munich does not exist for Munlchers
