ter Gisela came into the breakfast room with
the news of Cousin Ludwig's drowning. Eli
zabeth burst into tears. She let herself be
rowed over to Schloss Berg, stopping under
way at the Island of Roses, to gather some
funeral flowers. She reached Schloss Berg
as they were washing the Kings body and
laid her white roses ON his breast. Then she
went into the palace chapel and remained
there a long time on her knees.
Before she left Schloss Berg they told her
that in the breast pocket Of the Kings
drenched coat they had found a crumpled
note in her handwriting. 1t was a q~uatrain
she had sent him at New Schwanstein one
year ago from the Dutch seaside village Of

point toward his head. His hands held the
fading white roses, that had been brought by
Empress Elizabeth.
On the day.of his burial in the same vault
with other dead Wittelsbachs, the populace
of Munich and it's nearby mountains was
allowed to come into the church to view the
pale features of their dead King, before his
body was lowered into the vault. Erwin RE

Afterward we heard it told that a bolt Of
lightning struck the copper dome of the

At the time we knew nothing of this. If
there was a clap Of thunder outside, its crash
was lost to us amid the peals Of the great
pipe organ and the solemn tolling of the st.

Munich, Ancient Bavarian Capital
Great Churches, Art Treasures and Breweries
Made 1t Renowned

The recent bombing attack on Munich was
the fifth attack of the British Royal Air
Force on Bavaria ancient capital during
this war. Following closely upon the destruc-
tive bombing of Nuremberg, another historic
city of Bavaria, it has brought the horrors of
modern warfare closer home to the people
of the Fatherland than anything that has
happened yet.
An Open City
From a military point of view Germans
have regarded Munich as an "open city,
ever since its erstwhile bulwarks were RACED
in 1871. Those ramparts had been reared
during the Thirty Years War, but even then
the old city was spared by Gustavus Adolfus,
when his Swedish army after victory over
General lilly on the river Lech in 1852, oc-
cupied Munich without bloodshed or destruc-
ton. In more recent wars that ravaged
Bavaria, such as the War for the Bavarian
Succession, the later French invasions Of
Germany and the Civil War of 1866, Munich
again was spared as an open city, though
battles were fought within easy marches of
the city. During the last World War slight
damage was wrought in the city by occasional
random bombs from French airplanes. In
1919 some artillery projectiles knocked down
a few chimneys and gables, when gunners Of
the Reichswehr silenced a rebel field battery
manned by liberated Russian prisoners of
war in the heart Of the old town on the last
day of the abortive Red Republic attempted
by foreign communists in Munich.
After that the nearest Munich came to
suffering horrors of human strife was when
Iludendorff and Hitler with a handful Of un-
armed followers attempted to march into the
centre Of the old town and were stopped by
q volley Of musketry from a platoon of sol
diers drawn up at the Feldherrenhalle
monumental hall of generals) adjoining the
ancient Palace.
Earliest Beginnings
The place where the city now lies on a
high plateau between the Danube and the
Alps was a settlement as early as the Roman
occupation of southern Germany in the time
of Augustus. Then he cohorts built a road
from Helvetia to the salt mines of what is
now Salzburg and threw a bridge over the
Isar where the native Celts ferried their salt
and amber across its rushing stream. In the
early Middle Ages, when the Irish missionary
Wynfrith (St. Boniface) came among the
heather Celts, a monastery was reared there,
which gave the name Monachium to the settle
ment. Later, about HOO A. D., a Count
Scheyren, the earliest sire of the House
OF Wittelsbach, erected tower there to guard
the stores of salt. His successor, the first
Duke Of Bavaria, known as Henry the Lion,
placed his mint there and bestowed upon its
