THOUSANDS JOIN
RIOT FOR PEACE
AT REICHSTAG
Hurl Insults at Govern
ment and Defy Police,
Reports Say.

London, Dec. 10.-Dispstches from
Copenhagen, Zurich and Berne tonight
report violent demonstrations in favor
OF peace in Berlin. The dispatch from
Copenhagen, sent to the Exchange Tel
egraph Company, says:
Several thousand persons endeav-
ored to force their way into the Reichs-
tag. The crowds blocked the streets
and stopped the streetcars and buses
and the pol ce were three hours in re-
storing order. All the time the crowds
kept up cries Of Peace! Peace! and
even went so far as to use insulting
language toward the royal house"
The Rome correspondent of the
journal sends the following:
"A Zurich Switzerland dispatch
states that violent demonstrations in
favor of peace have taken place in Ber-
lin. The ponce were obliged to charge
the crowds. The windows Of stores and
cafes were smashed during the rioting.
Soldiers in the crowd took an active
part in the disturbances"
Berne dispatches add that peace man
ifestations have also occurred at Dres-
den and Leipsic, according TO the Ger
man correspondent of the "Tagwa hit"
rhe correspondent says the conviction
prevails among the masses in Germany
that only a revolutionary outbreak
would force the government TO make
peace.
The Socialist group in the Swiss Ma
tiona. Council, says a Havas dispatch
from Berne, mas introduced the follow
ing Interpolation:
as the Federal Council thinking of
offering, alone or conformity with gov
ernments OF other countries, its good
Offices TO the belligerents in order TO
bring about soon the conclusion Of an
armistice and prepare for negotiations
for pesce?'
The Interpolation will be developed
b. NJ. Greulich, the dean Of the group.
Information that comes from re-
sponsible quarter indicates the possi-
bility of an attempt 10 patch up an
unsatisfactory peace at an early date.
international financial interests are AZ
work with the object of bringing the
war 70 a finish and it is largely owing
to their activity that there has been
so much peace gossip in the papers OF
late.
The prolongation of hostilities is i'm
posing a terrible strain on all the coun-
tries involved. 1t is such financial
debacle that certain international
financiers are striving TO their utmost
to bring about peace on the basis OF
status quo, but the people in this coun-
try, in their present mood, are unlikely
to consider the question of peace at all
until Germany is beaten to hel knees.
Rome. Dec. 1O.-Cardinal Felix Won
Hartmann. Archbishop of Cologne, left
Rome tonight after again seeing Pope
Benedict. The Cardinal said that ne

this I know am at one with an

tFrOn Tie Tribune Burran.1


Washington, Dec. 10.-The Ger
man Emperor sent word through his
ambassador here to-day that Cap
tains Boy-Ed and Won Papen had
been unconditionally recalled. At
the same time he asked that the
United States use its good Offices
with the Allied governments TO in
sure their safe passage TO Germany
and the passage of their successors
to this country. Secretary Lansing
authorized the following statement:
THE German Ambassador has in \
formed me that the Emperor has
been pleased to recall Captains Won
Papen and Boy-Ed, in compliance
with the wishes of the United
States"
The announcement followed the
visit of the ambassador to the State
Department late this afternoon. He
was with the Secretary only a few
minutes, and left formal memoran-
dun announcing the Kaiser's de-
cision.
The State Department will take
no step toward obtaining safe con-
duct for the new attaches until they
have been designated and are known
to be acceptable. Efforts already are
being made through the British En-
bassy to insure the safe passage Of
the recalled attaches, but as the re-
quest will have to be cabled to Lon
don it may be several days before
their fate is known.
May demand Pledge Not to Fight.
1t is said that either Great Britain
or France, or both, may demand
that if Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
Won Papen leave the United States
they must 90 under parole, giving
their words not TO take part in the
hostilities in Europe
The State Department considers a
formal safe conduct superfuous in
the case Of diplomatic officers, and
will probably insist on their de-
parture, even if the British govern
ment refuses the request. In Ger
man quarters, however, it is init
mated that this action will be re-
sisted, on the plea that Great Britain
is. reckless of International law and
the men would not be safe from
capture.
The possibility of further friction
over the affair is not remote. Strong
indications were given tonight that
Germany believes the dismissal o,
Boyd and Papen was founded on
false evidence obtained through Brit
ish sources, and It is openly predicted
that the State Department will hear
further from Germany on the subject

Of an eight-year enlistment period.
The Continental army would consist
of 100000 men. OF these. 100000
would be under training three months
year for three years, and a like
number would be on furlough, subject
to three months additional training
before taking the field.
No provision for the organized mill
tia is made beyond an annual appro-
pristion of s7,OOO,O00 and the repeal
Of all acts requiring state soldiers to
be received into United States service
in advance of any other force in time
of war.
In estimating the cost OF the pro-
posed establishment the report gives
these figures for the first year: Regu-
lar army, s25S,9 200; Continentals,
ss7 500. 900; militia, S70OO,OO0; total,
1858 100000
In addition, Secretary Garrison
points out in a digest Of the special
report, an annual expense of 10000
900 for each of four years would be
necessary for harbor defences. Re-
serve material alone would cost for the
first year s129, ,76s,7s6, making the
grand total for the first year $685.

dope" System Blamed.
The dope" system, the court finds,
is the underlying cause Of the wnoie
trouble. 1t has been the custom Tor
years for students to dope the ex-
animation in advance from hints
dropped by instructors, by comparing
the examination papers OF previous
wears and in various other ways. IN
recent wears. it is asserted, the system
had become so complex that it was
often difficult to distinguish between
legitimate and dishonest dope" some
of the accused midshipmen declared
they did not know the stolen papers
were actually the examination papers.
1t has been charged that certain
midshipmen, notably athletes and
those enjoying a high rating, have
been grossly favored in obtaining
"dope" from instructors. Section
done" is also complained OF. The
classes are divided into sections, ae-
cording 10 scholarship, and men IN
tie lower groups testify that those In
the higher sections are coached by the
instructors along the lines of the ex-
animation.
The court recommends that the sec
lions be made up N future alphabet

from giving out dope" except IN the
form of memoranda, which shall be
distributed impartia,ly; that examina-
ton papers be kept locked in a safe,
instead of in various insecure draw
ers, and that papers be numbered con-
secutively, so that y one is distracted

that the practice Of having instructors

the coming examination coach thei.
classes or groups Of students is wrong,
and recommends that this be left TO

examination questions. The court also
recommends that the examinations be
