Many Riots In Germany.
One thing which, more than an
other shows the unrest of tn Ger
man people Is that they continually
are embroiled in riots-riots because
OF hunger and because OF the desire
! for peace. ,r
| saw one riot bfore the kafser's
palace when at least three thousand
persons were assembled at once. IL
took the soldiers a long time to dis
perse them. ~
II ever there Is any uprising In
/ Germany, one thing ! know, the Ger.
man private soldiers viii get back
at their officers for their inhuman
| brutality | heard OF more cases OF
actual barbarism on the part of of
ficers toward men in the ranks than
one could believe. But | also saw
number OF cases where things nap
Ipened which would not be permitted
| in our army.
One day. In the subway (the under
ground), i saw a German soldier SIT
| ting quiety reading paper. Inc
station was crowded. An officer came
: In and passed the soldier-but at
some distance. The soldier did not
look up from his paper and so did
]
waited a moment. then went over and
tapped the soldier on the shoulder
! The man got up, thoroly frlghtened'
as one could see from the expression
on his face, and saluted. Well, the
officer started and never In my life
have Theard any person get what we
would call such n 'hawling-out as
| that officer gave that soldier. For
over five minutes he talked, and he
Ili a 20
soldier stood quietly and took It with
out one word and, when the officer
was done, simply saluted and walked
away.
IL an officer would do that simply
because soldier had not seen him
and did not salute, l wonder what
would happen IL anything serious oc-

Rich Don't Go Hungry.
The German officers have very
exalted opinion of their own dignity.
They would not carry package. no
matter how small. They would con-
slider that beneath them. They do not
give up their seat in the street car to
women. unless 1t happens to be some
woman they know and particularly
wish to please. They flirt outrageous
ly with any woman they care to, and
no woman dares to resent 1t. They
will push you off the sidewalk, run
against you without apology. show the
greatest rudeness in every way, and
they are treated as tho they were gods
in human form.
They do not go hungry as the peo-
pie do. They live high. The rich do
not 60 hungry, either. Put the poorer
people, or those of the middle class
they are the ones who are being
crushed by starvation and malnutri-
| ton.
Our charwoman who came every
day to clean the flat in which we
| lived, told us one day that she could
not come very much longer AS she
was starving to death. Her allowance
of food was so small that she was get
ting weaker all the time. People are
dying there of hunger-dying, while
many of those in charge of the coun-
try are getting rich by graft The
government sets certain prices for
food. but any person who has money
can set these rules aside and get what
ever he pleases.
When / went to Germany to finish
my musical education in 1914, found

people contented and happy a cOun-

love and goodfellowship, humanity
