Amusing Beer Story Then Thon thore there Is another topic being very much discussed dl In Germany at atthe atthe atthe the present moment smilingly in Ber Berlin Berlin Berlin lin with a navy heavy hea frown at the Ba Bavarian Bavarian varian capital Munich Nothing more nor loss less than the beer question When beer 1 wont went ont up of or a n cent cant for the hair half litre there was an II outcry through the whole Gorman German empire It was wan a common sight in Berlin to see studious looking m men roon on draw a tapeline from rom their pockets pock a and measure mO the distance froze from the bottom of the collar tho the foam loam to the bolter of or the glass glase For Whit true German thoroughness they bad figured out that If IC they cheated he ted out of a quarter of ot an Inch on the tho hall half litre they would lose In case coso of ot heavy drinkers almost a gloss glass in one evening And they wore not going to stand Bland for tor it But Dut that did not lost last long In fact tact only a week or two The Berliner is too much of ot an as American for tor that sort of or business They soon saw the hu humorous hum humorous m roua side BIde of the situation and that settled It Differed In Munich The Berliner I Is nowadays almost almo t as big a consumer con umer of or wine as he be Is boer hoer In Munich on oni I tho the other hand beer boer is more mora than trumps It is a question of ot vital in interest terest It is a question of ot tho the utmost importance superseding religion poll poli politics ti tics ue everything In Munich wo we may maytel safely tel fey i refer to hops and malts as to Ills His Ea Majesty the Beer Every Bavarian man woman and child consumes at an average 45 litre that is III about 00 pints of beer beera beerI a year And AncI the price of o beer has been raised of or a cent cont 3 tho the half halt litre And the Bavarian Dvar was waa not going to stand for tor It Boycott In Bavaria They protested Oh how they pro protested protested tested Mass Maae X meetings public indignation Indig Indignation nation Ion meetings protest prote t meetings Inet their representatives in con grips grass and against agal et the Ute government were held The people attacked the brewers brewen the tho government and the lawmakers but tho the latter only smiled They thought they know their They would curse conte but they would drink And AM If Sf they the would drink they would have to pay PT That It could enter en on enter ter tel the mind of ot a true Bavarian to stop drinking beer seemed seamed out of or the question quo Munich without beer Perish Pel h the thought And then the unexpected happened The Bavarian declared not only the beer boycott but a beor beer war Its on yet This beer war is lei probably the strangest thing that ever eer happened in inthe inthe the Ule history of or Munich you yos of Bavaria D varla How the tb people carry It on is ks I a mys mystery mystery tery to all who know them But they do Somehow they stick it out And Ando Anden en o haw has h II the movement become that the Bavarian government nt has ha Just ju t lw uM c nfl i and an order to all her representatives to try and suppress any public expressions of ot sympathy with the boycott to try and the press in this respect and to prevent all nil public meetings on the subject So the tho thing must be serious What it all Doll means only he will fully tully understand who has ever over visited beau beautiful beautiful old Munich has bas gone to the has seen the thousands with their sterns steins me Ins of ot beer In front of them stoma steins containing over a pint of tho the dark fluid They are there at atall atall all times of or the tho day morning noon and night and like a procession proc they are aro steadily on tho the move to fill their steins at tho the tap personally instead of ot having them served and so save sao of ofa ofa a cent on each stein Ridiculous to American To the American mind this will seem small of or a cont cant Not a full tull cent Ridiculous But Its not only of a cent the Is fighting for Its the tho tradition Father did not pay it grandfather did not pay It and by Jove wo we 0 shall not pay it it Its Just as serious in Intent and purpose as when Whon the English cried And tho the Ru Russians lans shall not have havo Constantinople The rhe Incidents of or this odd war which to anyone
