there have got to be armed men In
revolution, otherwise, one officer with
a machine gun could effectively hold
out against hundreds of women"
According to Miss Doty, the unrest
Of the Bavarians is due to their belief
that the government is taking the pro-
duce of their rich little country to
feed the Prussians and leaving them
hungry and to the fact that most of
their men have been put in the first
line trenches and consequently the
losses have been extremely heavy
Miss Doty says that it really - not
true that the government is feeding
people in the cities with their food.
It is probably being sent to the SOL
diers, but they feel certain that it is
being given the Prussians. She says
that no matter where you go in Ba-
varia, you hear them condemning the
Prussians and cursing the day in 1870
when they allied with them.
There are no fat stomachs in Ger
many" said Miss Doty. ''They have
none Of the oils and fats which are
so necessary, no fiavorings of any
kind, no sugar and very littleb utter.
While nowhere in Germany did I see
anyone actually fall from starvation.

travelling at the best hotels and pay
ing the highest prices I managed to
eat enough to feel satisfied. The
working people are living practically
on bread and potatoes. This is what
Is causing the unrest. With the
pension from the government when
the man of the family l.: at the front
and the wages earned by the woman
in the munition factories, they have
only about the normal wages OF the
man before the war. But the prices
Of food have increased so that they
cannot afford to buy much. While
the poor people have meat card
which entities them to purchase meat
once or twice a week, even II they
have the money with which to buy
it land come late in the day because
they have been working, they in
variably find that the meat has given
out long before.
The women are working every
where, in many places where it was
never thought women could work be-
fore and to this is due the unrest of
the women as they have been taken
out from their home and made active
by their work.
taThe difference in the feelings of
the people Of Germany in 1915 and
in 1915 was very apparent. In 1915,
they were hopeful of victory and they
had not begun to feel the lack of
food so much In 1916, they had be-
come disheartened. This is appar-
ent on every face in Germany. They
had become restless anG they had be-
gun to resent the Kaiser and the gov
eminent. Everywhere one hears talk
Of peace. We thought the war would
only last a few months. This is too
much We must have peace was
the substance Of everyone's remarks"
Miss Doty told of attending peace
meeting in Berlin where full 1000
persons demanded peace on ba-
sis of status quo" before the war,
where they absolutely denounced Won
Tirpit and his policies, the submarine.
and the sinking of the Lusitania. AT
the end of the meeting they asked
all in favor of peace to stand and
when two women did not do so they
almost mobbed them, pulling their
hair down, and nearly tearing their
clothes off from them
t'It doesn't matter how well the
army at the front may be working"
said Miss Doty, behind the lines,
Germany is cracking and erumbling
and a revolution is certain to come"
