When war was drst declared the
c,arn7ooa were arxio,;s TO ...r into bat
tie and there was great enthusiasm in
Berlin b,,t a. the struggle progressed
and Germany did not ove.run Europe
as she had planned The enthusiasm
gradually waned ard now the horror
and terrible consequences of the war
begin 10 be realized according to MI
Chris. But Germany evidently does
MOI eNpect the war to end this summer,
as she began preparing for her winter
army the week before Christ left
Berlin.

Christ left Berlin the Gay before
President Wilson's first note was
handed 70 the kaiser by Ambassador
Gerard He had planned TO remain in
school nntil the end of the semester
in July, but upon the suggestion of
Ambassador Gerard that a couple of
weeks vacation in Switzerland might
do hin, good he fool, the hint and left
that dsv for Copenhagen. Those who
were familiar with the contents of the
American note expected a break with
Germany immediatelv and anticipated

uIty were dropping ont all wear To en-
fer .he army ana the mon remaining
are mostly those unfr for military
service However a stranger unable
m understand German would MOI real-
! ize that Berlin is the canitaI of a ma
! ton engaged in war. Cafes and thea
| ters are open as usual and there are
PLENTY of men TO be seen The
only restriction on cafes is that where
! thew formerly remained open most all
| night. they now close at ] o'clock The
| largest cafe in Berlin has recently for
| hidden women to smoke within its
walls. as the tobacco suppIv is rI1n-
ming short and the soldiers need what
| is left, Women have largely taken IN
| the duties of men and the majority Of
the street cars in Berlin now have
women conductors. The omnibuses
that were fit for war service have been
sent to the front and while there seems
to be plenty of buses and taxis they
are old and of an obsolete tvpe.
PLENTY of Food.
| Germany seems 10 have sufficient
food although all supplies are now in
the hands of the government Al,
bread must be secured thru bread
tickets given out by the police and If
is a crime for any woman to bake nor
own bread as she is likely to use foo
much neal or maat and vegetables
the SUNNY is sufficient although nrices
