Amsterdam, Dec. 31.- (Ccrres- pondence of The Associated Press)- It was Mark Twain who made the discovery that the German language abounded in words "so long that they have perspective" His record of a 37-letter word is easily beaten by the Berlin Vorwaerts, which accuses a well known Pan-German publicist of being a:
 "HUNGERFRIE DENSRESOLU-
 TIONSMEHRHEIESBISZUEN-
 DEBEKAEMPFER.'
 To save time it may at once be stated that this monstrosity is 53 letters long and it means opponent to the bitter end of the (Reichstag) majority resolution for hunger peace"
 The assaulted Pan-G German has so far refrained from replying to the accusation in suitable terms. Paper is probably too scarce in Germany.
