The munlclDalltv hardlv knows what
to do, but has sent a committee to Ber
lin to consult hiarh leral authority and
perhaps beg the kaiser to rule on the
matter himself. The municipality can
not distrain on the goods of the regi
ment because they are government prop
erty. Neither can it distrain on the
officers' private. effects, for individ
ually, they did net give the ball tt waa
a general regimental arrair.
No one has yet thought of the solu
tion of raising a public subscription
in order to pay the $2, and so Sagan
and now, as the whole story is comlnfr
out, the rest of the oountry, will battle
away at thle terrible storm In a teacup.
In Sagan the upper classes are on the
side of the officera But they, of
course, attended the ball. The trades
people and lower classes who are in
the majority favor the municipality.
It may be possible, when the matter
comes to the kaiser's ears, that he will
order the regiment to another station
and leave Sagan without any military,
whieh will be a fearful condition for
society, for young women and for trades
peopla And all for the aake of $2.
