ALLEGED HARD LIFE

Cruelty of His
Officers.

BERLIN, July 1.-THE unceasing criti-
cism of press and parliament Is slowly
reducing the number of cases of mis-
treatment of soldiers by their officers,
but a recent report shows that 400 nom
commissioned officers and others were
convicted of such offenses last year.
This was reduction of ninety cases from
the figures of five years ago
These 400 convictions by no means in
dictate. however. that only that number
of private soldiers were brutally handled
during the year. A recent case, and one
by no means unusual. was the conviction
of non-commissioned officer of the Sd
Bavarian Regiment. who was charged
with no less than ninety offenses against
the men under him. One soldier was
famed by being struck on the kneecap
with gunbutt, and there were dozens
of cases in which recruits were choloed

the government was equally concerned

that cases Of mistreatment are gradually
growing less common, and it has been
declared that the government desired
that punishment of the offenders be
exemplary.
