she was approaching shallow water. The pilot

GERMANS KICKING
ABOUT A PICTURE
DISLIKE THE IDEA OF GALLANT
BAVARIAN SOLDIERS BEING DE-
PICTED AS A RUSSIAN MOB.

Some Of the German residents are up
in arms over what they consider as an
unwarranted affront to the honor of
their arms. In the window of a King
street firm of stationers there has ap-
peared a picture of some troops storm
ing a house. The picture was labeled
scene during the course of a st.
Petersburg riot. To the casual OBJ
server there was nothing unusual about
the picture and it was accepted as the
real thing but to the military student
and the German generally he picture
had a different significance. The men
storming the house instead of being a
part of a Russian mob, were Bavarian
soldiers attacking a French house dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war. To see
a valiant force of the German army
so maligned was considered insulting
by many Germans and they are now
understood to have written to the Ger
man consul in relation to the matter.
