An epidemic of Malaria Is sure 10 fol-

and, at the same time, it is the best

AMERICA IN THE
 GERMAN CAPITAL
How Our Goods Are Brought and Sold in Berlin--The Empress
 and Her Graphophone.

 In the capital of the German Empire, in the heart of FriedriChstrasse, within a block of Inter den Linden, and few minutes walk of the Thergarten, I write of the American invasion. It Is all around me. I find it in every street and every block. It sticks out like a pimple on ones nose, and here in the busiest big red boil. over there at the right is a shop with the American shield above the door. It bears the Stars and Stripes in red white and blue, and below 1t are Dutch figures leaning over a ship rail, looking out at the sea. That Is our American line touting for it's Red Star boats, and the German travel across the Atlantic.
 Next door is a hat store. The most fashionable shapes are American. and the best are made by two well-known New York firms. They are considered supe- rior to any other, and s American der bys are worn by the swells. There are American tailor shops in different parts of Berlin. and our styles now vie with | those of Paris and London.
 "old Glory' as Girls Hat Bands. But look at those girls who are now coming up street. See the jaunty one at the right. She has a hat with little American flag draped around 1t.

eral miles for 10 pfenn1gs. This seems to be the rate all over Germany, and Is just half that of our American rate. h. deed, l doubt If you will find a city where transportation is cheaper than here. FriedrechstraSse Is too narrow for tram cars, and a large part of its transit is on omnibuses, which charge a cent and quarter trip. These busses run every minute. Their footboards are very low and one can jump on or of without stop ping the omnibus. Thsre are similar ve- hioleS on Unter den Linden.
 Taxameter Cabs.
 l like the cab system here. Not only in Berlin. but in most of the German cities there are cabs known as taxame- ters. Each cab has a sort of cyclometer arrangement on it. a elock-like affair which Is just behind the driver, and so that the man who ,'ides in the cab can watch the hands go around, indicating how many miles he has travelled and how much his fare is. You pay 50 pfennigs, or F 1-2 cents for the first half mile and 10 pfennigs for each additional quarter of a mile There Is another part of the machine which registers the fare for waiting. so that one can tell just exactly what he ought to pay at any point during the ride. Baggage may be taken on top of such cabs. and the charges are from 0 cents to % cents, according to the weight of the trunks, the former being the charge up to lfty-five pounds and the latter that for a box weighing 20 pounds. Everything Is paid for accord. ing to tariff. and there is no extortion like that of New York and some other American cities.

 The American Shoe Tramping Ahead
 In the same connection with the adver- tisement of a well-known American shoe, full-page announcement stating that at the time Alice Roosevelt broke the bot tie of champagne with which she named the Kaiser's yacht she had on these shoes.
 Speaking of the American shoe, one or the best shoe stores in Europe is right here on Friedrichstrasse. Come with me down the street to the corner of Lelp- sger- -straSse and take look at IL. It IS in big building belonging to the Eqult- able Life Insurance Company of New York, and it sells nothing but American shoes. There are a dozen other places m the city where our shoes are sold. put none which does a business like this. It Is crowded from morning till night, and | 1t is a poor day when Its sales do not | run up to 4000 marks. It has been open | only two years, and has done big busl- ness from the start. It sells for cash, and its methods are altogether American, even to the negro bootblack Imported from New York, who shines your shoes while you wait It has two makes Of shoes, one for ladies and one for gentie- men. and sells them at the fixed price or S4 50 a pair, which Is just $ more than the same shoes cost anywhere In the United States.

and had chat with the proprietor. He IS young New Jerseyite of 25, enthusi- astic as to the prospects for American trade. Here is his story as 1t came out in response to my questions
 About three years or so ago my father and I sold out our shoe business in New ark, N. J., and looked around for place to open another My father had been in the habit of coming to Europe every summer on account of the rheu- matism, and in looking about came to the conclusion that Europe might be a good place for an up-to-date shoe store He now visited the chief cities and fln- ally decided to open one In Vienna. He tried to rent place there, but as soon as the people found what he was about to do they raised the rent. and 2,O0O of the Viennese Shoemakers held a meeting and threatened to wreck the store If it should be opened.

 Even American diamonds are sold here I mean flash diamonds of the paste va riety. There Is a store just beyond the steamship office where crowds are al- ways looking in at the windows.
