GRIIICISEO fit IRMHME Frau Luxemburg Made Speech Against the Handling of Sol diers By Officers. Prosecuted Berlin. War Minister von Kalkenhayn, wh one tactless speech in ttie Reichstag’ on th*- occasion of the Zabern In’erpellatlon undoubtedly contributed greatly to the strength of the foti of eeneure against th< government is generally considered to have m«de another exhibition of bad political strategy by causing an action to be brought, against Rosa Luxemburg for insulting the German aimy. Even the loyuliM press is criticising him severe ly and the unexpected adjournment of flic process for an Indefinite time, against the strong protests of the de jet B*-. a papers, whe ntaken in connec tion with certain other aspects of the mm', to indicate that the war minister hiD realised he has exposed the most vulnerable point of the institution which lie had intended to protect. Krau Luxemburg, who is one of the b ,ders of the extreme radical wing of the Socialist party, said recently in a speech in Freiburg against the ro'.s --t andllrg of soldiers by officers and non cornmissioned officers: "Imy in. day out, there are enacted in the Gcrmiin barracks dramas of which only a small part becomes known to the public.' A Slander. General von Kalkenhayn saw In Ibis statement a slander of the army, and he promptly made information to the state attorney, with the result that n prosecu tion was begun. Vorwaerts, the central Socialist organ, thereupon published an appeal to Its readers for witnesses to arts of brutality against private sol illers. The success of this appeal was e vident on the first day of the trial, when attorneys for the defense submlt t•-,( a list of 020 wen who were willing to i estify to maltreatment of themselves other soldiers In their presence Gen ! . ral von Kalkenhayn protested that this testimony was Irish vant, except In so far is It covered cases having a fatal outcome, either through mishandling or through suicide to escape further mal treatment the latter a thing that re pcittedlv occurred. Anything else, said the war minister, could not he consid ered a "drama." Against this construction the defense protested, and the court, without defi nitely deciding the point, prepared to continue the process. The prosecution then demanded a list of the defense a witnesses with specifications of the acts t-, which they were prepared to testify. The defense submitted such a list, and an adjournment for three days wan granted to enable the state's attorneys to investigate the cases, When court re convened. the prosecution, at the in stance of the war minister, demanded an Indefinite adjournment. A letter from i General von Kalkenhayn was submitted. ! in which he declared that the defense's j lint had been submitted to the military I courts for action in the cases specified, lb- was unwilling to proceed with the Luxemburg c+jhc until courts-martial should have determined the truth or falsity of the allegations upon which the defense Itfises its case. Objected. Attorneys for Frau Luxemburg oh. jecterl to an adjournment. Since the last session their witness list had In creased to 1.012. and the Indications were that It would continue to grow. To wait the action of courts-martial in all these cases meant an Indefinite dolay. Moreover one of the chief Issues in ths «an* was the leniency with which mili tary courts hand ! ed brutal officers, and they objected to having the present case made dependent on the outcome of proe ecutlons to which the defendant was not a party and in which the defense had no confidence. The court rebuked this statement as “unpermissible criti cism of the war minister," and granted teh adjournment asked for. However the case may finally termi nate assuming that It is ever really brought to trial—lt cannot help direct ing attention to the undeniably great number of excesses against private sol diers on the part of their superiors, and this number, although it has been some what reduced In the last few years, is still shamefully high. The press, In ob jecting to General von Falkenhayn's proposed washing of dirty linen before an International public, cites a case of alleged misuse of a soldier, ending in his death, which has Just transpired us the result of on anonymous letter to the par ents of the dead soldier. A musketeer of a Dantslc infantry regiment, who died two weeks ago, is now declared to h-av© been fatally Injured by his serg eant-major during barrack- drill. An investigation is under way and tn© sergeant-major and captain of the com pany have been suspended. SfPOWHATANi &WASHINGTTO Pennsylvania Avenue, 18th and H Street*. Beat L(Kite4 Het.l i* Wiikaftea.
