ONE RESULT OF THE WAR
Little Village OF oberammergaU Has
Received Spiritual and Physical
Blow.

Oberammergau the little village In
Ravnria that became world-famous as
the home Of the Passion Play. Is vir-
tually a deserted village where sorrow
bronds. All of its male inhabitants
capable of bearing arms have entered
the ranks of the Bavarian army, and
many have fallen in battle.
Miss Madeleine Doty. who has Wis
fed the village. in recording her ex-
perienees relates conversation that
she had with waitress at the little
hotel.
"The town Is sad" we averred.
'Why shouldn't II be-" she retorted.

How many men have gone to WARP
we asked.
every one under As. Five hundred
and fifty out of population of 1900"
We paused moment 1t seemed
brutal to 20 on now, but we wanted
information.
"There were 40 killed and AZ
wounded the first year. l don't know
the number now"
"Will there ever be another Passion
PlayT
She shrugged her shoulders. How
can ] tell? Some of the players and
musicians have lost an arm or leg
and others are dead. The town no
longer has any money"
We pushed back our chairs and
went ont into the golden sunshine. No
one moved about the streets. 1t was
like q village swept by plague and
deserted War has been a special dis
aster to Oberammergau. II has dealt
a hiow at its spiritual rs well as its
physical welfare.-Atlantic Monthly.
