AMERICAN OPERA SINGER TELLS HOW THINGS
Really STAND IN GERMAN CAPITAL


officers sent them back home telling
them their time would come.
The German women fight their
own battles in keeping back tears
and praying for the success of the
German arms. Hundreds of titled
women are at the front with the Red
Cross, sacrificing everything to aid
their country. Baroness Won Ziegler
and her daughter, friends of mine,
wrote me from Wiesbaden just before
l left Berlin that they we're en- route
to the front and were ready to fight
if need be.
Berlin is normal l left there on
August 26. Prices for food staples re-
main at almost the same levels as
before the war. The government fix
ed maximum prices for fOOdstuffs.
In the early days of the war the cafes
with British names quickly changed
to German.
do not believe the stories of Ger
man atrocities. An officer with whom
l talked told me that when the Ger
man troops entered Brussels, the in
habItantS stood by Offering the SOL
diers cigars and dainties, and that in
the midst of this grim reality OF war
fare with it's play with death, the
German soldiers stopped from the
ranks to kiss and fondle little Belgian
children who stood laughingly watch
ing them pass.
Nor do believe that German Off
GERS, holding themselves aloof from
their men, have been forced to beat
them with their swords to make them
fight. On the night of mobilization
when the men started for the front,
l was one of a crowd of thousands
that packed the streets near the sta
ton. Then men .cheered their Off
GERS repeatedly. They were wild to
get into action.
There is no dissenting voice in the
chorus of patriotism that is heard

in New York City direct from Berlin.
There is much that is untrue that
has been printed about conditions
there. But what l want to tell is
about the women of German, and
more especially the women Of Berlin.
They are bearing the burden at
home. Their fathers, their brothers,
their husbands, their sons, all that
are near and dear to them in the
male line, are at the front. Some al
ready are dead. Others are wounded.
And always there is the suspense,
the fear that when the next list shall
be posted, it will contain the names
of the loved ones as yet Unscathed.
But the women of Germany are
facing the situation with heroic
caImness. 1t is all for the fatherland.
The spirit of the people is wonderful.
If the men are swept away in the
maelstrom of war, the women will
continue the fight. They are pre-
pared now to do so.
There are few tears in Berlin. Of
course there is sorrow, deep sorrow.
men still left in the capital, realize
that the national life itself is at stake
and accept the inevitable losses of a
successful military occupation. There
is a grim dignity everywhere. There
are no false ideas as to the enormity
of the struggle for existence. A great
many Germans, in fact, realizing that
it is nearly the whole world against
Germany, do not believe that the
FatheTland can survive. But they are
determined that while there is a Iiv-
ing German so long will Germany
fight.

not change this materially. The

kept adding to Curtis plurality.
Capper's plurality is well over
$4,000, with ten counties still out,
and the returns showing small

nual Conference of the M. E. Church
South will convene at st. Paul's Church,
Baltimore, on March 18th. An appoint
ment to be made by the Bishop at this
Conference that shall be of special inter
est to the people OF this section of the
county will be concerning the pastor of
Shenandoah Junction and Bakerton. On
account of the time limit, Rev. w. A.
Lynch, who has been serving these two
charges for four years, will be sent to
another field. He has made many friends
during his soiourn in the county and has
been specially successful in revival SER
vices and Epworth League work. The
new method for Juniors which was es-
tabliShed at the Bakerton League two
years ago, and the new system for Senior
Leagues which has been so successful at
Shenandoah Junction the past year, was
recognized by the district conference as
an excellent system of training for young
people. Rev. Mr.. Lynch was a former
student of Shepherd College. and it is
claimed that some of his ideas for Junior
work were received while taking lectures
as senior student concerning new meth
DDS for teaching model schools.
