GERMAN CONTROVERSY. Berlin, Aug. 23By the Defence Minister’s ' order members of the armed forces must not fly the Imperial flag unless the Republican black, red, and gold is alongside it. This follows the Prussian Government’s order that public buildings must fly the Republican flag on Constitution Day. which has revived the flag controversy that caused Dr. Luther’s downfall last year. The municipality added fuel to the flames by ordering the civic authorities to boycott hotels which refute to fly' the Republican flag. This resulted in the Oberburgermaster declining invitations to the dinners of Nationalists. Resentment'again Dr. Gessler’s order was only reduced by the knowledge that President Hindenburg desires a settlement. The only solution of the problem appears to be to fly both flags together.—(A. and N.Z.)
