the atmosphere was well prepared for

Zabern Little Town.
zabern, or. in French, Saverne, is a
little town of between eight and nine
thousand inhabitants. beautifully stu
ated at the foot of the vosEes Noun
tains on the banks of the Rhine
Marne Canal. Its garrison comprised
the staff and two battaIions of in.
fantry regiment No. 81. commanded
by Won Reuter-, and among its Of
ficers was a Lieutenant Won Forstner.
a young man only 20 years old, whose
boyish appearance had excited the
school children and boys working in
nearby iron factories to ridicule him
1t became known that this young
officer, while instructing his men, had
insulted the French nag and had
called the Alsatian recruits "waekes,"
nickname meaning "squarehead,"
and frequently used by the people OF
Alsace-Lorraine in a jocular way, but
hotly resented by them II used toward
them by others. 1t was further re-
ported that he had promised his men
a reward OF ten marks IL one OF them.
in case OF trouble, should bring down
a Social Democrat.
Forstner had told his men to be-
ware, and warned them against listen
ing to French foreign agents, whom
the Germans claimed were inducing
French soldiers to desert in order TO
Join the French Legion. 1t is prob
able that Forstner. in talking to his
men OF the French Foreign Legion,
used language offensive to French
ears.

He admitted that he had useu the
word "wackes" in defiance of an order
OF the commanding general. and for
this he had been punished with sew
eral days confinement in a military
prison. Lieutenant Forstner, who was
ordered to instruct his squad about
the regulations in case of trouble with
the civilian population, claimed that
he had only added to the usual in
structions q statement that every
soldier should do his best to suppress
any disturbances, and that he (Forst-
ner) would give a special reward to
any of his men who would arrest one
Of these damned Social Democrats"
Reports OF the acts OF Forstner and
other officers were rapidly spread
among the population. The two
newspapers OF Zabern published ar
ticles. The excitement grew and
there were demonstrations against
the officials. and especially Forstner.

stated, that the people OF the United
States spend not less than 81 u, 00o, 900
annually on screening their houses
against flies and mosquitoes.
He says that Cor much less than this
sum the whole country could be rid
Of flies. He asserts that one infected
fly-and most flies are infected-is
a, greater source Of danger than gal

chiefly in stable refuse, he urges, the
