GERMAN ARMY SCANDAL.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph Copyright. Berlin, July 14. The German Admiralty has demanded the revision of the later sentence passed on Naval Cadet Hussner, found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a gunner named Hartmann, with fatal results. The demand is made on the ground of indignation among the public, who considered the sentence of two years' imprisonment ludicrously inadequate and injurious to the navy. [The first sentence passed on Hussner, whose offence was that he stabbed Harfcmann because the latter failed to salute him, was four years' imprisonment, in addition to dismissal from the army. The other day it was announced that the sentence had been reduced to two years' imprisonment in a fortress.]
