TROOPS INRtVOLI.
Recorded Cases Of Mutiny In
British Army.
Have Been Rare In Recent Years,
Though War Office Archives Con.
tain Accounts Of Uprlsinos
That Were Serious.

With the exception of the recent
rehabilitation troubles, mutinous dem
onstrations by soldiers Of the British
army have been, happily, rare in mod
ern times, though they were not by
any means lDfrequent in the bad cid
days Of the lash and the triangle.
One Of the most serious Of these out
breaks was that which occurred in the
Black Watch, over 100 years ago, in
connection with which three men We're
shot in the moat Of the tower Of Lon
don.
The duke Of Wellington had to deal,
too, with several of these outbreaks
during the Peninsular war, and his
methods, for the most part, were
equally drastic.
1t was his way. however. to deal
lightly with mere petulant outbursts.
Thus, when the Twelfth Lancers mis-
behaved in the summer Of 1912 by re-
fusing to turn out for church parade,
he decreed that the entire regiment
should be paraded every evening at 10
O'Clock, and stand at attention during
the playing Of five hymns by the band.
No limit was set to the duration Of
the order, and the custom, as 1t event
ually became, was continued up to
1912, when It was abolished, after
having lasted exactly 100 years.
Far more serious notice was taken
by the authorities of a mutiny which
broke out among the Nineteenth Hus-
sars at the Curragh camp In Novem-
Der. 1877. The trouble began through
discomfort with certain officers ia con
nection with extra duty. No fewer
than IS of the malcontents were ar
rested and tried before general
courtmartIal, the sentences ranging
from Ave 70 eight years penal servi.
tude.
Very tragic was the outcome Of a
mutiny which broke out among the
garrison OF Malta in April, 1907. The
malcontents seized Fort Ricasoll, over
looking the grand harbor. where they
were besieged by loyal troops. Event
ually, rather than surrender, they fred
the magazine and all persisted.
Probably, however, the most danger
GUS instance Of wholesale disaffeetion
occurred In 1859 among the British
troops then serving in India. The
disaffected men had enlisted to serve
in the Old East India company. Yet,
when the company ceased to exist,
these men, by a stroke of the pen,
we're Incorporated into the regular
British army.
They objected, and regiment after
regiment refused to obey orders. In
the end the government was compelled
to accede to their demands, when
some 10000 men claimed their dis
charge, and were sent home to Eng
land.

EX.KAISER NERVOUS
OVER POSSIBILITIES

Amerongen, May 15.-An official
abstract of the preliminary peace
terms published in the Dutch news
papers which was retranslated and
read to the former German emperor
has aroused considerable excitement
among the member of the Hohenzol-
lern party. An inkling concerning
what the entente intended to do in
connection with bringing William
Hohenzollern to trial had reached the
German officials earlier in the week.
They communicated the information
to the former empress, who displayed
signs of marked emotion but decided
to await appearance of fuller Off
cial report before making the news
known to her husband.
A special messenger motored to
Arnhem Thursday to procure copies
of the local newspapers. Meanwhile
the former emperor continued his
usual occupation of saving logs, but
apparently he is suffering from ever
growing nervous excitement: His
saw worked as never before, and his
physician, DR.. Forester, who assisted
him, was completely exhausted at
lunch time.
How the former emperor took the
news the correspondent was unable
to ascertain, as every one in the cas-
tie is sworn to secrecy regarding
happenings. Rumors were circulated
in the village that he attempted to
commit suicide by hanging, but these
are considered canards, since his at
tendants are quite calm.
The former ruler looked wonder
fully we'll as he walked out to his
saving this morning. 1t seems un-
doubted that he intends to stay in
Holland, if he can, through the sum-
mer, as further precautions have
been taken around his castle. Orders
have been given to erect high fence
along the entire side of the moat
which is still open in order to prevent
the many summer visitors in Ameron-
gen from obtaining a view.

LIBERTY LOAN ARMY
BEING DEMOBILIZED

Washington, May 15.-Demobili-
zation of the Liberty Loan army of
100000 has been ordered by the
secretary of the treasury. With the
closing of the Victory drive, Secre-
tary Glass made arrangements for
the "discharge" of the great corps of
volunteer workers today. The force
of paid experts, however, will be re-
lieved more slowly.
Federal reserve bank organizations
were swamped under the job of tabu-
lating loan . subscriptions. Reports
reaching the treasury showed that all
of the federal reserve banks had SUBJ
scription records to make, which
would keep them busy more than a
week. Each mail was bringing in
great quantities Of official records
from local banks, messages received
here said.
No figures showing definitely the
amount Of the oversubscription were
available today and were not expect
ed before May 26. Treasury officials,
however, believed that the surplus
