he, himself, had suffered too much

DR.. Karl Liebknecht. the leader of this

His call for the meeting brought
forth four thousand munition workers

a general walkout. These men and
women marched through Inter den
Linden to the Tiergarten until they
reached the point where the avenue
of victory intersects the Charlotten-
burger Chaussee. There DR.. Lieb-
knecht mounted the base of one Of
the granite statues erected in honor Of
the Hohenzollerns and made an
address.

We are very pleased by your let

OF records and machines collected. II
is apparent that Bennington in pro
portion to its population has exceeded
the returns from most other cities.
Not that the country generally has
been apathetic, but. while We will
have gathered at least a million rec.

failed to show a proportional interest.
Please thank the citizens through
