(COntinued.1
After England declared war, the
efforts to capture spies were dou-
oied, and the mob had a new lot of
signs to tear down. We were for
hidden to talk English on the tele-
phone or in the street. We kept to
our homes rather closely Most of
the buses, taxicabs and horses had

signs of life in Berlin were fur
nished by soldiers marching through
the streets and officers driving madIy
about in high-powered cars which
exceeded all speed limits and other
traffic regulations.
After a few days, things began to
return to normal again. The food
supply seemed ample and the head
lines in the newspapers were SO en-
couraging and reports of victories
upon victories so convincing that
every one expected the war to be
over within very short time and
they began to eat up the stores they
had SO excitedly collected.

motors, few taxis and almost no
trains but there was apparently an
abundance OF the necessities of life.
Glits OF chocolate, woolens and to-
pacco were showered upon the SOL

ReVentlow aroused the people and

coming food shortage which Eng
lands blockade had made inevitable,
