And when the poor also became greedy they became hostile. Then began social upheavals with bloodshed and havoc." 20th May An icy wind from the northeast with a violent rain. Yesterday we gasped with the hot air. To-day we are shivering in winter clothing. 2lst May The same as yesterday. Most of us are ill. My teeth chatter and my body is both hot and cold.

Berlin, Sunday, June 2lst, 1914. My precious mother, The weeks fly by, full of work and Weltpolitik. They talk of nothing here at meals but this Weltpolitik. I've just been having a dose of it at breakfast. To say that the boarders are interested in it is to speak feebly: they blaze with interest, they explode with it, they scorch and sizzle.
