BERLIN DEVELOPS
THE HOLIDAY HABIT
May Day to Be Observed az
Something NesO.

DERL1N, April rs (delayed) Not con-
tent with just having survived three
consecutive Easter holidays, with three
more holidays to come at the end OF
May, the workers OF Berlin and Ger
many generally will rest from their ex-
cessive labor on May !. the latest and
newest Socialist holiday In this country.
All transportation will be suspended
on the Berlin street cars, the suburban
trains and subways. long distance train
service will be limited to food and milk
troins. Not even coal shipments VIII
move.
Almost the only workers on May Day
will be the postmen and postwomen,
who will carry out the Sunday schedule
Of deliveries, and the telephone opera
tors, who will continue to infiict their
exasperating service on the public,
which though OF the long suffering kind
has been protesting in increasing meas
ure for tho last month.
The theatres will be closed and even
the restaurants will shut down unless
the swelling protest OF the thousands
who depend upon public eating places is
needed. 1t is proposed that such res
taurant employees as can cook, serve
food and clean dishes shall work at
least part of the day in restaurants
where food, rather than drink, forms
the major portion OF the business.
Gustave Noske, the Minister of De-
fence. has lifted the martial law regu-
latlons In Berlin slightly by allowing
gatherings in closed buildings and pa
rades to such gatherings, but there must
be no demonstrations. Stores and bust
ness houses of all kinds will be closed
and strikes are expected. as during the
Easter holidays.

GERMANS HOPEFUL
OF A SETTLEMENT
Ministry Recognizes Need of.
an Early Agreement.

BERLIN, April 2s.-Strong currents Of
opinion Inside the Cabinet permit Of the
assertion that the Ministry of Chancel-
lor Scheidemann Is fervently hoping to
obtain a peace settlement at Versailles
! sufficiently tolerable to win the National
Assembly's ratification and thus obviate
the danger of further internal ruptures
which 1t Is believed would be bound
to result from plebiscite.
The Governments ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In the last few months persistently have
underscored the nations need for food
and peace. The food situation Is slowly
being ameliorated, and the Governments
chief remaining sorrow Is It's prelimi-
nary settlement with former foes.
Scheidemann's party colleagues and
the Democratic elements in the present
administration seem conscious that tho
peace to be offered them will hardly be
tempered with mercy, yet they are PIN
ming their faith on President Wilson'S
influence with the Entente leaders to the
extent OF hoping for terms which will
not compel the German delegates to
head their train for Berlin Immediately
after the delivery OF the peace treaty
There are no illusions obtaining in
any quarters-political. financial or in
dustrial-that the bin will be a long and
heavy one. Speculation in Berlin to-
uey cohcerneu ltselt with the question
whether the Entente will permit differ
ences on various items to be checked Off
and discussed.
To-day's announcement of the aboli-
ton OF the blacklist against Germany
was received as an added indication that
the entente does not purpose ito be
brusque to the German delegates on their
arrival at Versailles. This feature Of
the enemy's blockade has been an espe-
cial source OF German Impotence since
the armistice.
The Berlin editorial comment on the
departure OF the peace delegates is nom
committal. The man in the street also
appears to be assuming an attitude Of
watchfU waiting.
