All portraits Of the German Emperor were torn down, and the Italian flag was hoisted over the buil- ding
 The fact that the palace is still owned by Germany has teen the cause or great indignation among the people cs Rome who since the entry of Italy into the war have demanded that the Capitoline Hill be freed from it's 'Teuton:c stain"
 The rage with which the people in vaded the palace can. therefore, read " he understood. They overturned the throne placed there by tie Ger man Emperor himself, tore some of the furniture to pieces, and after tear ing down he portraits Of the Emper- CT; and raising the Italian flag parad- cd tEe main streets Of the city with fragments, oi the Emperor's picture as trophies.
