BERLIN POLICE,
SOME BITTER COMPLAINTS.
At long last the Berlin pol man has discovered that "a polico- man's lot, is not a happy one, and he is protesting in consequence..
It is certainly an extraordinary thing that no fewer than 4,000 of Barlin's policemanyahould meet in order to condemn the way in which they are being treated. It was noticable that they criticised their officers very strongly.
"We are being drilled much more than we were before the war," a speaker säld," "and.. Four officers 'slang' us. more rudely. We are called idiots," sheephends, scoundrels, and asses, and if wà complain it is we who are punished. "Super-Militarism."
.:
The speaker said that the police force of the country was really
a superlarism.”
A
Even a policeman who had done his military service before the war, who had been through the war, and was now between 40 and 45 years of age, had to drill in the barrack- yards like a recruit, and with young men of 20 or so."
As an example of the "supET- militarism" prevailing, the speaker gave an example of the officially- approved method of arresting
man.
The man is seized and put up against a wall;he is then search- ed. That having been done, the policeman retires three steps, draws his revolver. points it at thu man. Then the order $8 given: "Right turn, march !!
And off the man marches to the police station, the policeman fol- lowing and covering the man with the revolver!
༔
A resolution was passed warning the authorities that they were about to place the last straw on the policeman's back, and calling fer the abolition of the excessive military drill to which the police- men are subjected.
Arms.
There is little doubt that the authorities regard the police force as part of the military forces of the country. The policemen are certainly armed, to an excessive. extent. It is quite commos sight to see policemen going about with
A rifle,
A 'revolver,
A bayonet and
An indiarubber club..
Policemen on duty generally have all these weapons except the first named.
Hv.
It is certainly, a danger that young men, bidly educated' and Improperly trained, as speakers at: the meeting said they were, should be on duty armed in such a way, and it is this that has led countless regrettable incidenta?": regarding which the public.con get no satisfaction, and against which there is no protection.
WISHED TO RESIGN.
MIDDY REFUSES TO TAKE OATH.
to
Annapolis, M., June 3.-Mid- shipman E.. B. Zirkle of Garden. City, Kaa., to-day refused:t take the oath of Indiction into the United States Navy upon Gradua tion with his class from the. navni Academy here, Secretary of the Navy Wilbury who had delivered in address to the graduating mides shipmen, and to whom the cand was referred, ordered the young; min assigned to utation aboard the battleship New York, which leaves on a coastal cruise, to- morrow.
The case was the first of its kind ever reported at the academy, Admiral Louis M Nalton, com- nilinder, ofthe midshipmen, arid tonight, After the class, of 446 had received diplomas, they were marched to the commandant's office to be sworn into the naval service as ensigns and lieutenants. Midshipman Zirkle, then any) nounced that, he would not take the oath because he did not wish to continue in the service and felt that he "wished to do something élae."
A ruling of the Naval Depart- nicat, now in force, requires that amidshipman serve two years in the service after graduation before his resignation day be considered: The young man has been attempt- ing to resign for several months, Admiral Nulton said, although his tanking in conduct and as a stud- ent has been high.
