Today -100: November 6, 1923: Of knight hawks, traditional German sports, and crown princes


In Atlanta, Philip E. Fox, editor of the Ku Klux Klan newspaper The Knight Hawk, shoots dead William Coburn, lawyer for the Klan’s Wizard-Emeritus William Simmons.

Headline of the Day -100:  



The German army masses on the Bavaria-Thuringia border to prevent Nationalist/monarchist/Nazi forces in the former attacking the latter. Pres. Ebert issues a proclamation warning of the dangers of civil war, saying that Germany has the facilities to put down any putsch and will use them ruthlessly.

The French military order German police out of Kaiserslautern’s town hall so separatists can occupy it and declare a Palatinate Republic.

During all this, former Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm has been given a passport by Germany allowing him to end his exile and move to Silesia, but the Allies are discussing whether to allow it.
