The German soldier looks fine. but
everything else in Germany looks like
the devil" This is the summary OF
Teutonic conditions by DR.. william
Law a native OF Flint, Mich. who is
visiting his parents there after prac-
ticing dentistry for thirteen years in
Berlin, where he served the kaiser's
family professionally.
DR.. Laws family was able to leave
with Ambassador Gerard's party, but
the doctor himself was too i'll to travel
and he remained in Berlin until Oct. %,
1917, and just reached home.
There are today 100000 to $4,000
empty stores and residences in Berlin
where normally In peace times the
number would not exceed 16,0o0,' DR..
Law said. 1.-The big change mas been
wrought because many businesses have
gone bankrupt and the people are NOV
Of life. Stores that are open have little
or nothing left in them.
1.-THE people of Germany are fear
fully tired of war. They are sick to
death Of it, but they have no idea OF
giving up. Ask any one In Germany
about the war and they say We're go
ing to win; just look at the map
"No matter what setbacks they have
you never hear any one in Germany
say we got licked If news seeps back
into Germany of gain by the allies 1t
is always a 'strategical retreat The
military powers say 1t Is so and 1t Is
so to the German people.
II think the people Of Germany can
exist for another year at any rate.
There is no tea nor coffee and the beer
Is about like water and tastes like var
nish. Hotels for some months have been
forbidden the use OF linens and they
use paper napkins and serve the food
on bare tables or on papers spread
over them.
"The newspapers are reduced in size
and look and smell abominably. The
ink is of the poorest quality and comes
off on your hands while YOU read.
There were in the neighborhood of
400 to 500 shoe factories in Germany
before the war began. They have all
been shut down but about 100. OF
those that remain 100 are making shoes
for the soldiers and the other thirty
make shoes for the civil population.
When person hasn't shoes now he
goes barefoot, or else gets wooden soles

people go without.

cerman Fear Our Air NAVY.

Allied air raids over Germany are
awakening the German people to re-
cognition of their rulers mistaken air
ruthlessness. according to the Amster-
dam correspondent Of the London Times
There Is great nervousness IN the
more exposed parts, he says, owing to
the reported intention OF the Americans
to invade Germany by air. The sub
ject Is discussed universally, tho efforts
are made to calm anxiety by declara-
tions about American bluff"
The frequent explosions in ammuni-
t?ion factories. the correspondent adds,
are causing the German military au-
thorlties anxiety, not only because OF
the interference with the supply OF
munitions, but also because Of unrest
in the districts where the explosions
occur. The unrest has been acute since
the advent OF frost.

Mrs. Josephus daniels, wife of the
Secretary Of the Navy, has disclosed
why thee secretary's order before the
war eliminating Intoxicating liquors
from officers mess in the navy was
issued. The order, she said. was
brought about by the case Of a young
officer whose court martial for being
intoxicated Mr.. Daniels had approved.
"A young officer had been court
martialed by the proper authorities FOR
being Intoxicated" said Mrs. Daniels,
land Mr.. Daniels had approved the
finding when an uncle Of the boy.
member of the Society OF Friends,
came into his office and upbraided him
for having approved the sentence. He
said the boy didn't know what the
taste Of liquor was until he went into
the navy. My husband then issued his
order, feeling that 1t was right for
him to do so even II 1t only meant the
welfare Of one young officer"
