ting Lebg's views regarding the deatb-rate OF
the city, and tho adaptabty OF Munich q residence
foreigners. There hundreds of Americans who
would gladly spend months among tho Munich colec-
and galleries. but the reports OF the dangerous
climate prevent them. Said Lebig "The climate here
is the in tho world. But live a mountain pla-
teau have cold mornings and evenings. and for this
dress ourselves twice This the foreigner does
