DAvAR|ANS ASK FOR
FULL Use OF U-B0ATS

Munich, Aug. 22.-The population
of Bavaria almost unanimously de-
mands that the submarine war be re-
newed and carried out relentlessly I'M
til England is brought to her knees.
At an enormous MAS meeting held
here Deputy Schlittenbauer. leader OF
the Bavarian peasants said amid the
approving shouts OF more than ten
thousand people:
Certain elements in Berlin. Ham
burg and Bremen. which always put
money and business above everything
else. are trying to protect England
and even go so far as to advocate
concessions to our arch enemy. This
comparatively small clique consists
of ship owners. hnanciers and export
ers and would sacrifice the honor and
future OF Germany for the trade with
Great Britain and her open ally, the
United States
I'VE southern Germans will never
tolerate this treason. Special inter-
ests do not obscure our political VI
sion. Our fight against England close
ly resembles that between Carthage
and Rome. There can be no compro-
mise. The war must be continued re-
lentlessly, until one side or the other
Is defeated. We have the means to
break the world tyranny Of Great
Britain and we demand that all our
weapons shall be used to assure our
victory. The United States cannot be
permitted to dictate our war policy.
We are not able to prevent the Anne
rican republic from aiding our enc
mics in every possible way, but 1t
is for us to say no wwe are going to
defend ourselves"
The meeting unanimously passed
resolutions demanding the unrestrtct-
ed use Of submarines and condemning
the alleged pro- British attitude OF
high finance and the interference OF
the United States. The resolutions
were telegraphed to the Kaiser. the
Chancellor and the King OF Bavaria
