Uavarian newspapers continue to be Issued even when the central German government has decreed that they hall be suppressed. The central government hesitates to take Jfteps to enforce its ordera for two reasons: First Members of the cabinet fear the assassin's knife, revolver or bomb. Second The ministers fear to plunge Germany into a bitter civil war which would complete the ruin the great war wrought. Bavaria is in better condition to wage a civil war than moat people know. The royalist papers do not content themselves with merely printing editorial insults of the republican government. Not long ago such a paper told of a bund der ur.bedingen a band of desperate men who owuld stop at nothing. They had ramifications all over Germany and formed Jagdkommandos the title given during the war to the pursuit sections of the aviation squadrons.
