 Satanic Stronghold.
 In Berlin today in every walk of life from stoker to stockbrolser, mor- aIs are cast aside at sunset. Berlin, just as the mock-pious Wilhelm in- tended it should be. has become the centre of Satanic pleasures.
 We know now the worth of the AL Highest family prayers. He and his craven crew have fled from their pal aces into obscurity, but they have cer- tainly left behind them the mark of the Beast.
 As is very natural a new form of crinlinality has arisen in Berlin There is a force of bogus police i., it's streets, men in weil-cut uniforms who are criminals themselves. vam- pires who are out to suck the blood of the unfortunates or both sexes who are attracted into the vortex of these nocturnal orgies.
 Blackmailers.
 The bogus police are today para mount in the city. One walks home after dark, and is accosted by a pol icenan who demands, your passport You take out your wallet bentath the street lamp, but if you are not slick the supposed official of public order will snatch it and be off around the corner.

 which have become altogether too common.
 The dinner was attended by city of

Civil War Again Imminent Between
 No: and So. China

Pelling, Monday, Sept 29.---(By A. PD---Aetempts to resume the confer ence between delegates from North China and South China at Shanghai are likely to prove. abortive, southern delegates refusing to meet Wang-I- Tang, representative of the northern government, declaring he is a repre- sentative of the reactionary milttarist clement. The Picking government as serts that if Wang-I-Tang cannot ar range peace between the two sections no other representative can. inasmuch as he knows the eNfent to which con- cession can be made by north China.
 A resumption of hostilities is, there-
 fore, feared.

attractions, it's extravaganza, and it's unholy pleasures"
 This fact Bismarck divulged to the world when Emperor and Chancellor parted. He failed to make Berlin the pleasure cty, but he succeeded in nak- ing it the centre of every vice, bes- tial and otherwise, within the human ken.
 Before the war the -.ontmarte a+ night was a Baptist community in comparison with uncertain establish ments in the Freidrich Strasse, the Leipziger Strasse, and Inter den Lin den.
 Wave of CrinlinaIity.
 What are still known as the silk stocking cafes are blot upon a lia- tion which calls itself civilized. The reader who knows Berlin will have heard whispers Of them and know what I mean.
 But since the armistice, my Span ish friend tells me, a new wave of criminality has swept over Berlin, until today it is positively dangerous to go out even in broad daylight.
 Crime follows naturally upon vice. The mock-pious Kaiser. who appeal ed to his good old German god' on the one hand, also appealed 10 Satan on the other, for let US not forget those disgraceful Gutenberg scandals where his own son, the ex-Crown Prince, denounced him as an associate and protector of the perverted.
 Berlin today is as Sodom and Com orrah rolled into one. This ''city of the plain" has today achieved the mo- toriety-thanks to William IT., Neitz- sche, and the perverted Camarilla around the emperor-of being the most immoral and profligate capital in the world, a city of heinous inn morality and open criminality.
 Some of the facts my diplomatic friend revealed, to me were startling.
 In the Moabit quarter, nocturnal establishments have sprung up which call themselves "Gardens e Eden,"
