A SENSATIONAL BOOK.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
Received 12.40 a.m., Nov. 14 Berlin, Nov. 13. The book assailed the virtue of officers’ wives, described officers as dissolute, and the colonel as a cowardly Don Juan who did not dare the pistol of a local chemist, who was a crack shot. Officers in the course of cross-examination, admitted that what tho novelist said of the others was substantially correct.
The newspaper Vossiscke Zeitung says that had Bilsen chosen another method of exposing the appalling condition of things he would have deserved the gratitude of the army and of the fatherland.
