Mr. Larimer stated that the Y. NJ. c..

sibility. The committee decided to
meet every Thursday to discuss cases

1t was also requested that the Saliva

that the name of such men be put

action could be taken if the men were

EMPRESS EUGENE TAKES
GREAT INTEREST IN WAR

London, Oct 31.-Although the
Empress Eugene is almost SO years
old. she is taking the greatest in
terest in the war, and has set aside
an entire wing of her house at Farm
borough Hill for the use of wounded
officers.
Several injured officers are now
recuperating there, and their aged
hostess supervises their care. Her
estate is near the great camp at AL
dershot, which King George and
Queen Mary visit frequently. Prac
tically all of Empress Eugenie's mer
servants have joined the army o.
France. Nevertheless she entertain'
many of the distinguished military
men who visit Aldershot, apologiz
ing for her plain fare and explain
ing that her cooks have more i'm
portant work now than preparing
food for an aged empress and he
guests.

GERMAN MILITARY ABSOLUTE;
DISREGARD STATE OFFICIALS S

Berlin, oct. 31.-To say that civil
authority in Germany has every
where given way to military govern
mcnt would be to oyerstate the case
and yet it is true that within its
own "eld of affairs the military is
not only absolute, but at times in
clined utterly to disregard even the
highest state officials. This pre-
walls to such an extent that passes,
for instance, from the minister Of
foreign affairs, are only valid when
some army officer is disposed to rec
ogni2e them.
The foreign correspondents left
in Berlin have recently had occas-
ion to witness the working of mill
tary government. The foreign office
sent to them, unsolicited, an invita-
ton to visit the war prisoners de.
tention barracks at Doberltz, some
fifteen miles outside the capital. The
newspaper men assembled at the
time and place directed. With them
were Captain Lochlein of the i'm
peral admiralty and several high Of
fcials of the foreign office. The
commandant of the military camp,
an elderly general, approached the
group and addressed them brusquely
Nobody will be admitted to see
the prisoners" he said, and as long
as | am commandant here, the same
rule will prevail"
He turned his back on the state Of
fcials and newspaper men and strode
back to his room without a word
of explanation. The fact that the
visitors were present by invitation OF
the government made no difference
to him.
