ing trained for two hours in the af-
ternoon in the art Of using machine
guns, hand grenades and rifles, ac-
cording to a Charlottenburg citizen
who writes to the Peoples Gazette,
the popular edition of the Tageblatt.
The writer declares that during the
past few weeks he has had repeated
to witness the training
in a military sense of children be-
tween IL and 16 years Of age, on a big
field in Charlottenburg.
The training was carried out in
the same way as during the best days
of the imperial regime. The man in
was a lieutenant, and nom
commissioned officers conducted the
training, with the use of all the mill
tary course and command terms used
in the old army.
The Peoples Gazette appeals to
Minister of Education Haenisch, tswho
responsible for the upbringing of
to investigate and eliminate
what it calls a "scandalous situation"

he Ministry of Education. The Peo-
Pies Gazette asks whether the au-
