name. Danstartcr.
Every day We systematically searched
our rooms for Mr.. Danstartcr. But we
found the atmosphere Of Munich freer
and moro cheerful than Berlin. The
people and the animals look healthier:
the fodder is better: the cattle arc
still fat, the people walk with
spring. They are sad and sorrowing,
but still possess vitality.
But the Bavarians begin to hate the
Prussians. II crops out everywhere.

chambermaid delivered herself OF her
emotions. We were not up. but en-

Al the foot Of the bed and let forth a

Curses Union with Prussia
"a curse on 1870" was her startling
beginning. 1T was sad day for
Bavaria when she tied up with Prussia.
Z They arc bleeding our country TO death.
/ Twice as many Bavarisns have been

of the fighting. Our men carried Ncr-

Before they had walked A dozen steps

The Prussian officials i'm Bavaria are
very, very strict They arc afraid well

everything 20 prevent u. The King
and the Kaiser are friends. but you
wait until after the war.
The women SEQ their babies 20 with
out milk, and NcV hate Prussian or
ganization. The women In the fac
tories are paid less than the men. and
NeV hate Prussian organization. The
soldiers arc under-nourishcd and
killed by the thousands, and then hate
Prussian organization. The Liberals
see that without universal democratic
representation they arc helpless, and
they hate Prussian organization.
The duches in the southeast arc
bled and Mcv hate Prussian organiza-
ton. This stored up emotion must
have an outlet. With peace will come
the reckoning.
