THE POOR ENSIGN.
The following story of Gennan mili-
tary oihcialism is published in Lon-
don: One Ensign ll'lugge claimed com-
pensation for damage to kit caused by
best tunic. The ofilcer who had to do-
cide the point dismissed the claim
and ordered the ensign to be severely
punished on the ground that, contrary
to orders, he had hung his best tunic
on a nail when going on guard at night
in an inferior garment instead of pack-
ing it In his knapsack, thus enabling a
mouse to gnaw a hole in it "without
having to overcome the slightest lm~
pedime‘nt." Emilgn Flugge appealed.
and on further hearing it appeared
that the officer who first dealt with
the case was mistaken in the facts.
the tunic havingt been slowed in a
knapsack at the ime when the mouse
defaced it and not hung upon a nail.
The first decision was therefore set.
aside by higher authority, and Ensign
Flugge was ordered to be severely
punished for having stowod his tunic
in his knapsack instead of bringing it
on a nail, thereby giving opportunity
to the mouse to gnaw a hole in it "un-
der cover of the darkness. ” The senti-
ments of. Ensign Flugge are not re»
corded.
