GERMANS PIN FAITH

Recently Returned SoJourner Describes
Conditions in the Empire.

London. May 31.-There has arrived
in London recently a man who has
spent the last three years in Germany.
He is a neutral who was able TO get
away within the last few weeks by a
circuitous route which brought him in.
to Paris. In an interview he said ne
was surprised at the condition Of both
Paris and London.
In Paris / found things not at all
out OF the way, certainly not as bad
as we were told in Germany. and the
bread was especially delicious 1 had
been eating the German bread. which
is quite unpalstable. black. tough,
doughy and indigestible.
The bread in London is a revelation.
1t is so good; and mind you. in Germany

food"
As toThe general state Of the country.
and particularly the big commercial cit.
les like Hamburg, Frankfort, Bremen
and other cities where a great trade
had existed. he said: People everywhere
are in the most depressed frame of
mind. They talk only OF the absence
OF food and cheering news. They know
what is going on but always take the
view that il is they who are being at.

that they started on a war Of conuest

that Germany can never lose in the end
and their line in France is impregnable
and that though the Zeppelins have
fizzled out and have not laid London in
ruins and their attacks on the coast
have not destroyed the 'fortresses.' vet
they pin their faith TO the U.boats. BY
them they think they will bring England
TO her knees.
Food is very short. In one great city
where l lived the principle article OF
diet was mangelwurzels. No potatoes
could be had, and though fish arrived,
II was all commandeered for military
purposes. Food can be had outside the
card allowance, but It is horribly high.
Places such as those l have named are
deserts. The shops are open but the
prices are extremely high. There Is no
chocolate and no sugar. Few men are
seen' not even soldiers on leave are plen.

soup and say their diplomacy is rotten
because IL makes enemies for them ev.
