Comment on Bryan'S Latest
Note, However, Not the
Government View
Won TIRPITZ DAY
is CELEBRATED
By CARL W. ACkERMAN.

United Press Stan Correspondent
BERLIN. Via The Hague and Lon
don, April 24.-Despite the bitter
criticism of the United states by
German newspapers for refusing to
end the traffic in munitions, II is
somi-oificially explained that this does
not represent the real views of the
German government The censor has
been instructed TO permit the news
papers frankly To express themselves
on this subject and on Secretary
Bryan's reply to the Won Bernstorn
note but II has been emphasized that
their views reflect popular opinion
and tho editorial side Of the matter
and not the government Because of
this, even the semi-oilicial newspapers
make Il plain thct they are not re-
hocting what has been told them at
the foreign Office and the war depart
ment.
The Lokal Anzeiger. following up its
attack OF yesterday. today says
"1he answer of the United States Is
no surprise TO Germany, and naturally
it fails to convince Germany that a flour
| ishmg trade in munitions of war is ln
accord with strict neutrality. The Ger.
man argument wa, based upon the prac-
tiCc of international law. but the Ameri.
can reply was based upon the CONNER
cial advantages enjoyed 10y the ammuni.
tion shippers"
This was Won rirpitz Day. II mark
ed the anniversary of the grand admi
rails entrance into the Imperial navy
fifty wear. ago. and was also the lSti
anniversary OF hi, entrance into th'
ministry a record for a German minis
ter of marine There was real rejoicing
throughout Germany over the event an,
the admiral who spent the entire da'
at his desk, was overwhelmed with colt
lCratulations.
These came from every official IN
Germany. headed by his maiesty ant
also from the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the various neutral nations
The newspapers generally paid higl
tribute to the Admiral and declared
that Il was due to him alone that Eng
land was now terror-stricken becaus
of the submarine blockade
In connection with the observance %
the day the Admiralty called atten
tion to the fact that the North Sea
now clear Of the enemy's warship.
u is believed here that a serious con
fict between the rival fleets is likel
in the near future. II is hinted tina
. when il comes Britain will receive
surprise in the character OF the wal
. ships that she meets.

But ever since they have been re-

always start the same way. Two

were sitting in the subway a few
years ago. Suddenly the stiff, saw
like edge of one hat swept the 9TH

had been wounded turned and

APPARENTLY TAKE
WAR LIGHTLY

Vienna, Dec II In the bearing
of the Viennese there is comparative
ly little indication of war. Not so
much mourning is worn as In some
other cities.
'.You must not think that we are
taking the war lightly" said one OF
the residents. 1--WE have had our
full share Of sacrifices and suffering.
But IL Is bad enough as 1t Is. with
sorrowing all the time. There Is lit
tie enough pleasure left in life. The
Viennese are naturally pleasure
loving people. 1t is fortunate that
they have not the capacity of sor-
rowing continuously 1t is this very
racteristic that is keeping them
UP through these trying days"
Aside from the matters mentioned,
however, there is no lack of indica-
ton that war is going on. Chief
among these is the great number OF
wounded soldiers in the streets. In
no other city-either in Germany or
Austria -Hungary-visited by the As
sociated Press representative since
the outbreak OF the war have there
been so many. So gre at are their
numbers that they almost form pro-
cessions on pleasant afternoons
along the principal thoroughfares
The number of unwounded soldiers
in the streets is small, compared
with Berlin
The second striking indication OF
abnormal conditions is the price OF
food. Ham-to note but one item
costs six crowns the pound. At the
normal rate of exchange this figures
out s1.2O Restaurant prices are
100 to 200 per cent greater than
those In restaurants of the same
rank In German cities. No bread
can be had without bread cards, and
the daily quantum is somewhat
smaller than that allowed in Ger
many. Hotel guests receive daily
cards emitting them to 210 grams
a bit less than l-2 ounces.
