made the rich very rich and the poor very
poor. Kings and Presidents were all
alike, as far as depressing the poor went.
She told the people they must get bread,
get it how they would. Other speakers
in German declared if the people did not
get bread the scenes Of Paris would be re-
peated in New York.
