One evening a shabby old man said rather more loudly than was necessary to a number of those round him: "I am tired of reading in the newspapers how nice the war is. I am tired of walking home night after night and finding restaurants turned into hospitals for the wounded." He was referring in particular to the great Schultheiss working-men's restaurants in Hasenheide.
Once, we accompanied our principal, by special invitation, to the Hasenheide, to witness the rifle practice, civil and military, among its heather and sandy hollows. Officers and rank and file alike were there; the officer practising with the private’s heavy gewehr, and the private in his turn with the light weapon of his superior in grade. There were some capital shots among them.
