Sachen
In Munich, Hitlerites (Nationalists) clashed with the Security Police causing bloodshed but no fatalities. The followers of Adolph Hitler precipitated the clash by parading through the streets.
Another mystery: Herr Hugo Stinnes (master of coke) and Dr. Wilhelm Cuno (ex-Chancellor) "went to London." That is all that is known.
Die Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Stinnes Berlin daily, after being suspended for three days (TIME, Aug. 27), decided to support Chancellor Stresemann. It said that the Chancellor's speech went straight to the crux of the Franco-German issue--does France want reparations or the Rhine? Even the Nationalist press (Monarchist) points with pride to the Chancellor's emphatic defence of German sovereignty.
General von Ludendorff, quondam Quartermaster of the German Imperial Army, sued the Munich Post because it accused him of prolonging the War.
Council for the editor of the Post called as witnesses Prince Max von Baden, last Chancellor under the Kaiser; General Hoffman, Chief of Staff to Ludendorff; Field Marshal Konrad von Hoetzendorff, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Imperial Army; many other prominent military men.
The witnesses for General Ludendorff have not been named.
