GERMANS QUARREL
AND PETTY STRIFES
SPLIT ARMY CORPS
Prussian and B avarian
Troops Fly at Each Others 5
lhroats on Charges Of
Eavoritism.
ANTWERP. Sent. %.

ANTWERP. Sept 20
Quarrels between the Bavarian and
Prussian troops of the German army
stationed in Brussels are reported "a
have reached such point today that
serious trouble is feared by the officers.
1t is rumored that many quarreIs during
the last week reached n point where
blows and shots were exchanged and that
several German soldiers were killed BY
their brothers In arms.
The i'll feeling between the two bodle,
of troops has been caused by the fact
that the Prussians have defiled the po..
traits of the Queen of Belgium, who be.
fore her marriage, was a Bavarian Prin.
cess. When the Bavarians called on tho
Prussians to stop the Prusslans ignored
them.
Another factor that Is said TO have In.
famed the Bavarians toward the Prus.
slams is the fact that they claim the
Prussians are the favored soldiers Of the
Kaiser.
1t is said that when the Bavarians wers
called out for war duty, they were not
told that 1t was for actual service, but
simply for maneuvers. Then they were
rushed off to the front without chance
to put their dome affairs in order
The Bavarians contend, 1t Is said, that
the Prussians had warning that they
would have to go into battle, and there
fore, were able to adjust their home af-
fairs before leaving.
1t has been reported from time to time
that the Prussian generals were sending
the Bavarians into the thickest of the
fighting. where thousands were killed
and wounded. and that they have been
saving the Prussians.
