Tells How Wounded Germans
In English Hospitals Are
Being Treated

London; Aug. 27.-Startling stories
are to be found in late German news
papers, which have arrived here by
roundabout routes.
Das Fremdenblatt, the leading jour-
nal in Hamburg, declares Germans un-
der treatment in London hospitals
were compelled to leave the institu-
tions on the ground that their supply
of food and medicines was limited and
therefore foreigners could no longer
be cared for.
The same newspaper asserts all
London post offices and telegraph Of
fices are ihcased in strong wire net
ting, which reaches from the streets
up over their roofs. this precaution-
airy measure being due to fear Yep
elm alrships may drop bombs upon
them.
Continuing, Das Fremdenblatt de-
clares Germans have been stopped in
large numbers in the streets in Lon
don and compelled by yelling mobs to
wear their colors. Also mobs of Brit
ish singing patriotic songs marched
through the German quarters of Lon
don, shouting down with the Kaiser
Down with Berlin!" ,.-.....
Several German papers protest Wig
orously against the conduct of Ger
man girls, who met train of French
prisoners at Frankfurt and gave then
presents of cigarettes and chocolates.
Das Lokal Anzeiger, the Berlin Gov
eminent organ, has a poem promi-
nently displayed, entitled; "Oh, :. for
a Whip" An appropriate translation
is as follows: -.e...ssts -,.+
And you would traffic with the ene-
my.
And you call yourselves German wom'
en-!
You with your vicious faces!
Give me a whip for such!
You are women without breeding oil
honor.
A whip! A whip! We will whip then
and raise weals on them!
They disgrace us-disgrace all that is
German!
They are traitors!
Give me whip for those womer
without breeding or honor
1t is said in the Berlin Press that
the war enthusiasm of the Kaiser's
capital is unbounded. Geraldine Far
rar, the American prima dona, has
given her two automobiles to the
Government for army use, severa
journals say.
Yet here and there are little item:
not so jubiant. The great annua
Leipzig fair, at which most of the
wholesalers of the Empire buy theil
supplies of haberdashery, leather ar
ticles, furs, ETC., has been declared of
because there will be no purchasers
The Corn Exchange and markets o.
Berlin, and the exchanges for woo
and coffee, are closed. The German
Walters Union is in despair. In Berlil
and the Province Of Brandenburg, 30,
900 waters are out Of work. Boys ant
girls guilds are trying to garner tn
harvests.
There is difficulty in finding schoo
teachers. Profs. Delbruck and Har
mack, prominent historians, have vol
unteered to teach classes.
Partial casualty lists containing tn
names Of dead an dwounded are beinl
printed. The first, on August 1S, ap
parently deals with the preliminar
fighting about Liege early in tn
month. This gives $50 dead an
wounded and 1876 missing.
Severe wounds are more frequer
than minor wounds, probably due t
the fact they were caused by shell
from the Liege forts.
Until August 2l the lists containe
the names Of about 250O dead, wounC
ed and missing. These lists dealt wit
the early fighting.
