P froctions.
The Hague. Netherlands, March 3.
King Albert, as commander-in-chief
Of tho Belgian army, has recently
exsTcioe4 clemency towards $50 mil.
itary prisoners incarc@rated at Tres-
mes. After the experiences Of his
army at Liege, Namur and Antwerp,
the king was obliged to introduce an
iron discipline in order to maintain
a high morale among the troops
The slightest offense was punished
with the greatest severity. Men who
in ordinary circumstances would have
received q light penalty. during the
days Of the battle Of the User were
condemned to ave or SIX years penal
servitude. Today, with the army
again strongly organized and per-
meated with q high spirit. clemency
can be exercised without danger, and
groups Of the condemned are set at
liberty from time to time.
The latest batch Of released men
exchanged their prison garb for q
new uniform at LIE Mans. They re-
ceived their new equipment with a
cry OF Long Live the King!' and
subsequently were sent direct to the
front.
