season.
The day following the ball the
municipal tax collector called on the

municipality served the regiment with
legal papers. The regiment appeal
ed to the divisional commander and
he TO the general commanding the
Fifth Army corps. in which district
Is Sagan. Both these authorities up
held the officers. The matter was
finally laid before the minister of
war at the war department in Berlin
and he also decided in favor OF the
officers.
The matter was taken by the NUM-
cipal council. after long and stormy
debate, before the county COMMITTEES.
The latter decided in favor OF the
municipality.
TAKEN TO COURTS.
SO the matter was rushed before a
learned judge in the courts and he
also decided in favor of the town
authorities
The officers have pleaded that It
was by the special command OF the
kaiser that thay. made themselves
proficient in dancing and that II is the
kaiser's order that the officers of the
army shall dance and mingle socially
with civilians OF their own rank, as
much as possible. The claim, there
fore, that dancing was almost a sac
red duty and that ballroom or dane
ng has been practically made n
part OF their regular army duty by
the kaiser's special orders. They
further claim that II they paid the
tax, they would virtually be paying
for the privilege of performing their
, duty. which OF course. they say,
would be absurd.
MUNICIPALITY DILEMMA.
The municipality hardly knows
what to do but has sent a committee
to Berlin to consult high legal au-
thorlty and perhaps beg the kaiser to
rule on the matter himself. The
municipality cannot distrain on the
goods OF the regiment because they
are government property. Neither can
II distrain on the officers private eff
fects. for individually. they did not
give the ball--it was general regt-
ment affair.
NO SOLUTION.
No on has yet thought of the So
luton of raising public subscription
in order to pay the So and so Sagan
and now. as the whole story Is com.
ing out. the rest OF the country, Will
battle away at this terrible storm IN
n teacup. In Sagan the upper class
es are on the side OF the officers.
But they. of course. offended the ball.
The tradespeople and lower classes
who are In the majority--favor the
municipality.
IL may be possible. when the mat
ter comes to the kaiser's ears. that
he will, order the regiment TO another
station and leave Sagan without any
military. Which will be a fearful
condition for society. for young wo-
men and for tradespeople. And all
for the sake of So.
