London, Sept. 25.-Contrary to the
reports that have been circulated
here and in the United States, Berlin
is not demoralized and panic stricken
f! by the war, according to Philip II.
| Wood, an American who has just
reached London from the German
capital.
In Berlin conditions are almost
normal, Wood said, and things are
I going on with little change. There
is little ecitement.
Life is going on practically the
same as usual" he said. "There is
no more difference than there is il
/ London. The price of food is the
same as before the war; the cafes

playing; there are almost as many

little to show that Germany is in
, state Of war. | never saw any refu-

Wood, who made point of talk
ing with as many people as possible
in Germany, did not observe any an
Xiety as to the supply of food. APP
parently no one was taking any pains
to be economical, and he was told b.
several authorities that there was
enough food already in the country to
last for Is months.
There was also optimism as to the
result of the war.
"The general view," said Wood,
"W9S that If 10 IL,
| they will make it draw. They are
satisfied that their army can never be
beaten, and that the most the allies
can hope for is a stale-mate Even
II they have to retreat from France,
they are confident that they will be
able to defend their own country for
an indefinite time
Il asked two officers if they had
considered the possibility of defeat
and one said, Yes, it may be just pos
sible; but if SO we should not be here
and in all Germany there would not
be more than $4,000 men left between

My own opinion" added Wood sis
that the war will be stopped by medi-
alton within month. But when |
suggested it to a German officer he
said, It's no use talking to us about
mediation till we've occupied Paris
and st. Petersburg. Then we might
listen to you"
Wood found considerable bitterness
against England, and he was rarely
successful in persuading anyone tc
believe that England was fightins
