Murder, terrorism, laboring conditions, and to lay be- fore the proper authorities any com- plaints or requests the Mexicans have to_make. The governor gave his approval to the plan and asked the Mexican | envoy to inform his president that 'THE SUNDAY STAR, Heir to Italian Throne Coming to United States PRINCE HUMBERT seventeen-year-old heir, to or 3 the throne of Italy, who, according to 1 for reports from Paris, ix about to s the United States, accompianied by Generalissimo Ding Luigi Luzatti, vet- eran Italian xtatexman.

If the local authorities neglect their duty an imperial commissioner is supposed to supervise the disarma- ment. Unfortunately, however, that functionary in Munich is a Bavarian by birth and is unlikely to enforce the orders strictly. I do not be- lieve that there will be any trouble with him. “What will happen is probably this: The surrender of a few rifles and machine guns, the disappearance of the Einwohnerwehr from the strects and loud protestations that the order of the allies has been obeyed. The same maneuver has armistice. Through our numerous nirol stations we shall be able to keep in close touch with the truth. “It is not fair. on the other hand. to underestimate the difficulties of dis- armament here. The members of the Einwohnerwehr, as a rule, are solid, respectable citizens of middle age who have no consciousness of doing wrong. The people far away from the occupied districts on the Rhine find it difficult to realize the serfousness for the rest of Germany. Nationalism Strong. “Furthermore, the sentiment of na- tionalism is strong. The Bavarians consides themselves as good or bet- ter than the Prussians and resent the recent actions which they ascribe to dictatorship from Berlin. Even if the German reichstag should fall Bavaria would probably live on as it dld be- fo 1870. Finally, the monarchistic tendency more "active here than anywhare else in Germany. Gen. Ludendorff has his favorite villa near Munich, while dozens of former generals, nobies and aristocrats who would support any reactionary movement prefer to live Munich rather than in socialist Beriin. The dominating, political party in the landtgg is the national- istic conservative party and not the social democratic.” The acute crisis which seemed prob- able last week appears now to have been avoided by the skill with which the disarmament order was framed last Saturday M the reichstag. Any element of sharpness in it would have angered the Bavarians greatly, but the text adopted offends no one save the extreme radicals. The most important problem it leaves open is how Premier von Kahr “ean save his face.” He had declared repeatedly that he would stand or fall_with “the Einwohnerwehr and his stubborn character may find it difi- cult to accept even a technical order of dissolution.
