Three Days After Armistice,
SAYS She's Brokenhearted

MEININGEN. Nov. Ia, l91S.-We are bro
kenhearted at all we have gone through;
we have been deposed by fifty men, who
came into our rooms. feel as if | were in
a horrid, sitting nightmare and can't
realize the whole chaos and the shameful
red wave. We remain in the palace; all
else is taken! How my tears will gush
when the poor come for help and l can do
nothing for them any more!
No news from relations: Henry and
wife prince Henry of Prussa) wounded.

All English harbors closed. Tyranny

on the "Sachischer Hof" because some off
GERS and soldiers pulled down the red flag
My sister at Bonn very content with
Canadian Staff and Arthur Connaught.
CHARLOTTE
MEININGEN Dec II. 191S.-Relieved

mess can't last, and I trust If it does in
that rotten Berlin the Entente will restore
order there.
MY brothers (the Emperor) fatal fight
to Holland proves daily more and more
how badly he was advised by those sur
rounding him. My brother Harry splendid
his life was so endangered; got six bull
let's in motor, wounding him. Without
arms, he behaved simply heroically in Kiel.
Sister at Bonn has the English, who
are so gentlemanlike, but fear other sister
has the French.
All seems a nightmare-a horrible mad
ness! Must mutey submit, and scarcely
have food enough to exist. God bless you!
Yours in great distress, c.
MEININGEN. March 81 1919.-Peace is ap

fectly mad l went to condoe the Duchess
Marie of Coburg after her brother and
seven cousins had been tortured and shot
by Chinese; she looks i'll. Saw much of the

for that must obtain permission from the
Ministers!
MErNINGEN, April 3, 1919.-The political
conditions and all still in mess, and, like
YOU, hate them all!
They will all receive their punishment
soon! The Weimar circus does not mean
much except jabbering and copying us, al
though they abuse all we have done
MErNINeEN, April 6, 1919.-Be careful in
Munich, as rumor goes third revolution
Russian STYLE is to be set up!
May 5. 1919.-After seven weeks of
strictest imprisonment my sister may at
last leave Friedrichshof with passport
and may go to Frankfort once week!
All seems more bloody and warlike since
that mad peace, and God knows what will
happen now?

Welcomes italian Journey
With Trip in Mountains

November 10, 1917-Kufstein. To the
Tyrolese front! We never get weary of gaz-
ing at the white world before us, with its
painted houses and their picturesque hooks
and cornersl The river Inn is frozen over
Very cold in our compartments, but the
outlook on to those lofty peaks covered
with purest snow is of ideal beauty. South
ern sun! Hurrah!
Brenner Pass-Eightieth journey of the
train! With four engines. Sparkling sun
on snowy glaciers; every aspect causes sim
pie delight Such winter bliss at a
height Of over 1000 feet is inexpressible
The icicles are hanging eight feet long
above the rushing, roaring Eisack And
over all the warm and dazzling mountain
sun How different to those last monoto-
nous years. The marvellous mountain
world lies stretched before us serene and
pure-beckonng like a messenger Of
peace.
Mattarelo-Our new station on the
1'yrolese Etappe. The air is good deal
warmer. Overhead railway cables are sus-
pended, swinging themselves at a giddy
height across the Val Sugana Whole col
umns of loaded mules are standing ready
for the march, heaps of sledges are being
loaded on goods wagons Real mount
tain war
Trento--In the valley are vineyards and
mulberry plantations We have arrived in
the district of silkworm culture. In the
town painted frescoes on old palaces, a
monument to Dante. One understands
why artists and sculptors halt here on their
way to Florence.

individuals Only Are Cogs
In the Great War Machine

If one could-if only one could! Moth
ing remains but the longing. If only some
thing would happen! But this we must
never forget: Each individual is but
number in the whole-a little cogwheel in
the great machinc-each doing its little
task
| heard that one of my English prisoners
had made an attempt to escape from his
camp and had been retaken; now he is no
longer allowed to write home. Poor fellow!
l am sorry for him. But our poor German
prisoners in their camps are treated more
severely than that And yet in all the
Entente newspapers the abusive names
Huns and "Boches" are rained down on
u.s. Rather paltry revenge.
November 12-To-day at noon the star.
tling news of our being removed to the
Italian theatre of war! Could there be a
better surprise?
Good-by to West Flanders; we are pass
ing along the front line once more today
to empty the field hospitals. The bandage
store is rocking so badly on the platforms
that it is difficult to get hold of the neces-
sary material. Several operations have to
be made while the train is running at full
speed! We pass through Wurttemberg
and over the Swabian Alb in sharp au-
tumn wind. Our whole transport is di-
rected to Munich. Only short pause there,
and then to the new Etappe!

eyes of the Entente! My optimism has
fallen since Bethmann left. Doubt now
war ending sooner fear the contrary. Rus

ammunition begins to get scarce. Work
men getting scarcer.
ALLENsTEIN, Aug. 25, 1917.-Murderous
battles in the west; can't go on so. Where
are the poor men to come from? Entente
will never break through so why not give
in at last?
Russia in fearful mess and grave news
from Athens, but King not yet prisoner;
fear bad ending. Food in England scarce,
too!

prettiest babies. With a hand that
