BerIin.-'sWhat a relief"

BerIin.-'What a relief"
That was the thought that flashed
upon me as the luxurious limousine
which Berlin calls a taxi" whizzed up
Friederfchstrasse and turned into the
famous Inter den Linden.
For indeed, this capital was con-
trast, and a most grateful one, to Lon
don There the darkened streets, ever
expectant of Zeppelins, gave one the
shivers, even more than raw, yellow
fog. Here lights blazed everywhere,
the air was clear and bracing, and
wen-dressed crowds we're scurrying
to the theaters, to the opera or to
dine at the great restaurants.
Starving Berlin!"
"Saddened Germany" The phrases
OF every English newspaper made me
smile.
] began to wonder, as any neutral
person must wonder who goes from
London to Berlin, just how much of
the news printed in the papers of
England is true-and how much of the
news printed in the papers of Ger
many, France and Russia is true!

least.

door two footmen and two doormen.
Surely there are no more in peace
time! Also. there were five clerks
behind the desk Both elevators were
manned by husky young fellows of
twenty-five or so. In my room I rang
for the waiter and the valet. Both
came at once, and both were young
men. Both insisted the staff was not
reduced, and, moreover, they said
nearly every employee in the hotel was
German.
''Why aren't you at the war;" l
asked each in turn. I'VE are not need
ed yet" they replied. And we won't
be unless the war lasts a year." they
added.

the only one in the room not in eve
ming clothes or in soldiers dress.
There was a waiter at each table, and
nearly every table was the center of
a say party.
No Sign of Alarm.
The women chartered as lightly as
they do today in New York, Chicago
or San Francisco. The men seemed as
unconcerned as any well-fed Ameri-
cans.
Certainly I decided that the artistic
Gratis of Berlin were not fearful of the
outcome of the war.
Perhaps, I thought, a "kaffee-haus, f"
patronized by the middle class,
would tell a different story!
Nine o'clock found me at the famous
Piccadilly coffee house. now called the
Vaterland, in Potsdammer pIatz. !

its capacity is 1000 persons!
Here were the young men of Berlin
with their sweethearts. Most of them
were less than thirty, and they were
having a riotOus time.
The band was playing THE Blue
Danube" and dark Muenchner was
going by in bucketsfuI. Gayety was
everywhere. And saw this scene not
one night, but on six nights; not in
one coffee house, but in at least hun
bred.
Restaurants Are Thronged.
And the restaurants at noon told the
same story. On two days I could not
even get q seat at the famous KEN
pinsk's. although it is almost imDos-
sible to lunch there for less than a
dollar.
