PUNISHING BAVARIAN TOWNS.

ALLIED DEMANDS RESENTED.

(By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) BERLIN, December 3.

A communique issued from Munich states that the Bavarian authorities investigated the incidents at Passau and Ingolstadt, where during the Bavarian, disorders Allied officers were insulted, and failed to find the towns blameworthy. They offered apologies to the Inter-Allied Commission, but it was impossible to take the further penal measures demanded.

The communique concludes: "The behaviour of the population, in view of the growing indignation at the continued humiliating control, is comprehensible to every patriotic German, but the need of the hour is wise self-con-trol and restraint of natural feelings. The Allied Powers must not J be given a semblance of right to continue imposing oppressive and unjustified sacrifices." Later. The Note of the Ambassadors' Council to Bavaria has aroused bitter feeling throughout the country. Even the more Democratic newspapers, whilst blaming the Nationalists for inciting ignorant people to attack Allied officers, protest in strong terms against the Note. The "Frankfurter Zeitung" declares that not another nation in the world would have shown such patience in the face of the growing arrogance of the conquerors."
