KAISER NARROWLY ESCAPES
ASSASSINATION IN BERLIN
An attempt was made on the life
OF the Kaiser last August This in
formation was supplied to me by a
German orderly employed in conncc-
ton with tho hospital at BurEstcinfurt.
where I was recovering from an at
tack of dysentcry.

mcnced firing into the thick OF tho
crowd. That was n terrible scene. which
1 partly witnessed from Il side street.
Many OF tho rioters. with foolish brav-
cry. dcflcd tho soldiers, and fought TO
the last.
when il was all over the dead num-
bcrcd between 500 and 400 and the
total OF tho wounded was fully 1000.
Women and even children were among
the victims. and the streets adjoining
the City Hall presented tho appearance
OF battle field. The sight turned me
sick.
There were people 1 knew among
the victims" continued Dcckenkamp
in voice that trembled with emotion.
Hamburg was like n suburb Of hell
that day. and for a time | thought
order would never be restored. The
sequel to the affair was the issuing of
Il proclamation by the BurGomeister
announcing that as punishment for
the riotinE the citizens were to receive
no bread allowance for three days. This
action was taken to ensure discipline
in future"
That was the Gist OF DeEcnkamp's
tale, and 1t aroused mingled feelings in
the breasts OF tho Germans to whom
It was told Tho chief clerk was un-
sympathetic. and frankly stated that
the rioters had got no more than their
deserts. Those GROWERS about peace
and bread should be sent to the west

another member OF the party. but I'm
OF opinion that the BurEomeistcr
ought to have his throat cut for sum
moninS the soldiers without first hav-
ing heard what the leaders of the pro-
ccssion had to say. To my mind. the
responsibility for the deaths of these
people rests upon his shoulders. There
is too much of this high handed bust
ness on the part of officials in the
Tatherland. Our men at the front are
surely not enduring and dying just TO
perpetuate this autocratie style of con-
Quoting national and municipal affairs"
At this moment the officer in charge
of the camp entered the room. and the
discussion Immediately ceased.

In June and July there was a serious
shortage OF sugar. and potatoes were
scarcely obtainahlc, with the result
that number Of the more enlightened
citizens began not only to grumble,
but to doubt whether their armies were
really going TO dominate the whole
world.
During the autumn and towards the
end OF the year the meat capacity grew
worse. That December I was engaged
working in a timber yard at Munster
the proprietor of which bore the his
toric name OF Kruger. In addition TO
us prisoners Il considerable number of
German civilians were employed in the
yard, and about Il week before Christ
mas one Of these men told me that he
had offered as high at II marks (.2.4o)
for pound of meat. but had been un-
able TO obtain a supply.
1t was inevitable that discomfort and
a spirit OF rebellion should arise in the
kaiser's realm. The poorer classes in
many of the largest cities became the
most acute sufferers, and they gave
the authorities no small amount of
trouble. Rioting took place at various
points. and one sentry, Socialist in
politics. contidcd to me the belief that
had the rebels becn united instead of
isolated they would have gravcly men

and had returned TO report for duty.
Did you have a good timc?" asked
ono of his friends.

ing: 1T was the worst holiday ] ever

What happened? Have you been

kamp, for / am sick both in soul and
body. On the second day of my visit
home a most horrible affair occurred,
and one that shall never forget. a
mob Of over 1000 citizens paraded the
main streets shouting for bread and
for peace. and finally they made tracks
for the City Hall, and clamored TO see
the burgomeister. The latter however.
refused to parley with the indictments.
