SOUTH HUNS IN FUED

Junkers Fear Loss of SontroI Of

The feud between the South Ger
mans and the Prussian Junkers has
been revived by the election of Deputy
Fehrenbach, a South German of Frei-
burg, to the presidency of tho Reich
stag. by a large majority. The Junker
spokesman. pointing to Chancellor
Hertling az q Bavarian, Foreign Sec
retary Kuehlmann as another, and
vice Chancellor Won Payer as q wur-
temburger, declare that Prussian con-
troll Of the Empire Is menaced. The
situation is further complicated by the
continued fod shortage
In dispatches received here yester-
day, the extreme Junker Won Olden-
burg Januschau, reputed intimate
friend Of the crown prince, is reported
as saying:
"Are the coiors Of the empire to be
white and blue? Bavarian colors.)
II we forget our old Prussianism. it
In not only Prussia but the empire
that will be on its knees"
The dispatches caution. however.
that to much Importance must not
be attached to the dominance of the
South Germans, as they have shown
themselves in various ways to be
thoroughly infected with the Prussian
germ.
The recent cold wave in GERMANY
is reported from Berlin to have caused
damage to crops that the weekly
ration OF seven pounds of potatoes
will have to- be reduced. The supply
ofhcer Of the war council has sounded
warning to this effect, and also
warned Of further meat and fat
shortages.
