Copenhagen, Sept: 26.-The new

first open meeting in Berlin last night
and the crowd in Philharmonic hall

that the submarine warfare is Ger

now has her just deserts.
\ Belgium, the speaker said, was al

many must do her utmost in prevent
ing England from becoming Bel

miral declared that peace without a
heavy war indemnity meant Ger

London, Sept. 26.-Although details

and British airmen a few miles from
London which probably accounts for
the fact that last nights air raid re-
