Berlin Dec. st sometimes hap
pens that one wants a Peach Melba
in Germany. One cannot get a Peach
Melba in Germany. There are peaches
OF course and ice cream, and the 9TH
er ingredients. But Peach Melba is a
thing not to be ordered in any rest
aurant. Peach Melba has been fore
sworn.
But l want a Peach Melba,'' 1 told
the waiter.
II car bring you.' said he in his
slow, precise English, "a fresh peach
on vanilla ice with strawberry and
cream"
All Germany Hates England.
"But that is Il Peach Melba."
ut is" said he, "a peach On vanilla
ice with strawberry and cream"
1t was so ordered. The explanation
is that Peach Melba is u name that
has come to Germany from hated AL
bion. All Germany hates England.
Germany hates all England's works.
She will not use an English name If
she help herself. She feels rather
kindly toward Russia. One hears fair
ly pleasant comment upon France.
But if Germany can arrange it, she
will take the British empire apart to
the last wheel. She is perfectly frank
about 1t.
Even Hotel Renamed.
I'VE are stopping at the Bristol no
tel" we said to an American friend
here. He smiled.
Pardon me said he. you are
stopping at Conrad Uhrs Hotel Bris-
tall"
Sure enough, that is the new name.
The sign has been taken down from
over the hotel door. All the stationery
has been reprinted, in order that the
Teutonism Of Conrad UhPs name may
take the curse off the Britishness Of
Bristol. The Windsor and Carlton ho-
tells have erased their names from
every visible sign. They prefer an
honorable anonymity to be tarred by
in Berlin which bore an English
name has made a similar alteration,
with one exception. That is the Hotel
Cumberland.
Explanation Easy.
why not the hotel Cumberland %
we asked.
The explanation was easy. The Duke
Of Cumberland Is the father Of the
kaiser's son-in-law. He also is the
hereditary claimant Of the crown Of
Hanover, and while on this account he
has declined to swear allegiance to
the kaiser, 1t still makes him German
enough to be respectable in Berlin.
The fact that he is English born and
bred is being overlooked on this ac-
count.
Does the Sun Shine OH Foes?
Berlin watchmakers have a fond
ness for q sort of octuple clock in
their front windows. On the various
dials Of these clocks the differing
times of various capitals were display.
ed in times past. The central dial car
ried the time Of Berlin. On the other
dials were the time Of Paris, and Lon
don, and New York and other world
capitals. Papers have been pasted ov-
err the faces Of the enemy dials. Strive
as one may. one may now only dis
cover what the time is in Pekin, Con-
stantinople and New York. No loyal
German will admit that the solar pro-
cesses are available to a foe.
Even Loatlles Language.
There is an American luncheon
club IN Berlin which meets at regular
intervals at the Hotel Adion. One of
the members of this club recently met
a professor of the University Of Ber-
lin. The American talked what little
German he knew. The German pour
ed out German in an overpowering
flood. BY and by the American threw
up his hands.
Enough said he, "genuch 1ch
AionS NO DSuleCIl W SpTSCEeN.
WELL" said the professor, with a
deep sigh, then I will speak Eng
lish. l lived in America for five years.
But I detest the necessity. loathe
the English and their language"
One hears now and then Of pathetic
things because Of this intensity of ha-
tired. Many Englishmen resident in
Germany have married German wom-
EN-. The men are now interned in one
of the various prison camps for civil
ians. Their wives are suspected by
their former friends. Arrest might be
their lot. So they stay at home and
weep.
The Case OF MI. Justice.
In Hamburg lived a man named
Justice. He was born a German Of a
German family. Thirty years ago he
to England. At the time he
thought it likely that he would make
his home there. Therefore, he became
n~aturalized. Five years later he re-
turned to Germany, and never has
been out Of Germany since. He has
three sons in the army. Two of them
have been decorated for bravery at
the front. Justice had forgotten that
English incident in his life. But the
German police had not.
Come" they said to him one day.
you are under arrest You are an
Englishman."
A Rule is Q Rule.
Justice protested angrily. He was
not an ~Englishman, he said. But they
produced the records. They had the
goods on him. Mr.. Justice was LIVING
