Newspaper Correspondent Visiting Country Found Nothing Really Changed on Returning to Berlin After Two Years Absence
 Plenty of Food, Gambling and
 Street Battles.

 An American tourist not only aroused no native iIl-wilI, but was an object of professional soIicitude to Inc German railway employees. who scamed glad to see the advance guard or up-dispensing American travellers Checking mess of baggage from the frontier to Berlin involved no per sonal trouble. The head baggage master spotting my American ao- cent told me in toIerabIe English to leave everything to him, that he would take care of my stuf. All I had to do was to go Into the waiting room and he would bring by baegaEe receipts in 10 me.
 Likewise, he station master rot above scenting a tip, offered to pur- chase my ticket to Berlin for me. thereby relieving me of standing in the long queue of natives waiting in front of the ticket window. The rev olutionary German railway porters were polite, and said Many thanks' for quite moderate tips in German fractional paper currency.

Money stin Works NIncic.

The German people have not lost Inc will to work and the eagerness 10 serve for a cash consideration You noted, too, that the German rGople Gas distinguished from the German press) are not wasting their time in post mortemA They didn't appear to talk among themselves about the Kaiser's fate, the outcome of the war. the Peace Conference or the future of Germany.
 What the German travellers chief iy talked about were what food they had eaten fin Holland, and what thev expected to eat when they got homo. and what tremendous red tape you had to go through to obtain per nissCn to take eyen small sums of money out of Germany, and how bad it was that the value of the mark had fallen So low and what rotten hard travelling it was ip Germany nowadays
 You noted the ragged condition of Geruauy's rolling stock, but also the faCt that German trains can still run State railroads if they only want to- Tho Berlin express was not Cvercrowded and only two hours late.
 Nor Ia any thrill of novelty to be extracted from re1isitlng Berlin From seeing Berlin you would never guess that revolution had taken plscs- It has merely grown shab- bier and dirt5er and more lawless in sDots- There was significant synbo- 1ism in the fact that the veteran cabFnan who drove me from the E'riedrichs1rzss Station to the Hotel Adion made no attempt to over charge me

Tho patient middle classes and the prosperous-looking proletariat, you noted, provided the bulk of this Der by crowd, which was therefore thor oughly representative of the real German people; and 1t was worth noting that "the people, have pelnty of money to spend and are spending it for a good time.
 Significantly, during the war the highest bets for which there were separate ticket windows were 200 and 500 marks Today there are enough people wagering a thousand or more to warrant separate ticket windows for 1000 and 1000 mark bets The pikers are in the small minority. The queues are noticeably shorter at the ''5'' marks to win" win dows than at the HOO marks to win'' windows. The heaviest popular pat ronage is at the many windows with thes igns: "5O marks to win'' and "2O marks to win"

vective courtesies. Several natives try to beat the game by invading the beer pavilion through a side door; the crowd clamoring outside al the counters violently protests; 1he old woman manning the flowins beer barrel screams at the side-door invaders that there be nothing do- ing, the rule won't be broken, beer will only bo served to those out in front "Raus init 'em!'' Throw them out!'' s'Schwilleber!" ''Scoun- drels"' are some of the violent good natured remarks from the crowd.
 You draw the convincing moral that these German people insistently want law and order and beer; but, that they have not learned any les son of self government out of the war, and still expect ell these things from responsible Government. still leaving everything to the authorities and continuing merely to practice the supreme German popular right of criticizing.
 Hunting nocturnal battles in Berlin, is a novel peace-time pastime which the correspondent is able to enjoy, thanks to the abortive Ger man revolution. These frequent "night-shooteries" Gas the pedantic German technical term quaintly calls them) have so far been greatly exaggerated by sensation seeking scribes; they are important however a $ forming a thought-provoking fea- ture of post-revOlutionary Germany which is likely to persist until healthy food and economic conditions return.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock one morn ing my sporting interest was aroused by a shot which sounded nearby. One shot doesn't make a battle, how ever, even in Berlin; such isolated

Romb I9lrrners Are Cons No1z.


 The only thing that reminds you of the new spirit of the uncertain times is the presence, in place of the ortho- dox race track cops, of the omni- present Noske Guards, with storm helmets, rifles and hand grenades.
 These well paid volunteer guards are on sentry duty at all entrances to the Grunewald Race Track Grounds. Armed guards are posted at every betting booth, at all en- frances to the grandstands and in the Erandstands along the rails and ahout the grounds, while two bomb throwers guard the judges pavilion at the finish
 They are particularly thick about the "court pavilion,' formerly re- served for race going royalties In this ex-royal pavilion, just before the Derby starts, Noske himself puts in appearance, attended by his military staff. You notice in Germany today that Social Democrats and other conmoners, on getting into office, en- thusiastically avail themselves of all the palaces, royal pavilions, swell Hnousines and other monarchical- 1r1llitaristic perogatives and per quisites they can lay their hands on.
 More significant even is an open air beer pavilion, most democratical- Iy open on two sides and accessible therefor to holders Of both first and second-cIass tickets. This beer pavil- ion is a storm center, and convincing proof of the unbroken fighting spirit of the German people. Its garrison of two men and a woman is quite un- able to cope with the thousands be- sieginE 1t for beer. Rough Berlin hu- nor aIternates with fierce alterca- lions.

shots are quite frequently heard row at nights. They are generally at tributed to the ncvosity of young Nosl1e guards "seeing things" at night The warning shots and ac- cidental trigger pullings are most frequent around the tough Alexander Platz center, in and about the Spar tacus haunted Tiergarten, at the Landwehr Canal, where the ghosts of L:ebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg walk, and in the neighborhood of the old Admiralty Staff Building, where Reichswehrministe Blood hound" Noske has set up shop and whose every approach at night is heavily guarded and barbed wire barricaded
 Ten minutes later three or four random shots indicated a certain amount of liveliness which was fol- lowed by a long lull. At 1:3O A. M. a brace of rifle shots followed by a short splash of machine gun fire lured you out of bed. From my bal cony observatory in the Hotel Ad- lon I noted light rockets beyond the Brandenburger Thor. The potential "battle" seemed to be brewing some where in the Tiergarten.
 Out on Uter den Linden you noted that the natives take little in- terest in these nocturnal doings. The streets continued deserted; no heads popped out of windows. I had been struck by the same popular apathy about Spartacus in action when escaped military convicts at tackled and nearly succeeded in cap- turing the Grand DucaI palace at weimar, including the whole Ger man Governm Globe.

Hnre I,enrned Nothing.

There are jocose demands for Spar tacus to come and improve the situ- ation. The Government Is roundly damned for permitting such a pub
 lie scandal to continue. Those in the front ranks who capture a full glass of beer must fight their way out to freedom, a process which en- tails a running interchange of in-

willing to pay for 1t And the Ger mans are spending their paper money freely to indulge in forgotten foods again. At no time during the war have the restaurants and cafes been so crowded as today, nor so expen- sive.
 To get the sensation of how the high cost of living feels to the Ger mans, you must calculate German prices into dollars at the normal peace time rate of exchange. At the principal Berlin restaurants, such as Adlon. Bristol, Hllers and Esplanade, the table d'hote lunch of four courses costs S4.50. without trimmings. You get cup of soup, a fair-sized piece of fish, a. very small piece of meat, and a dessert which is still mostly uneatable. Berlin's $ cheapest standard luncheon Is not a square meal for a healthy appetite; it leaves you hungry.
 The table d'hote dinner at the Hotel AdIon and the other principal hotels Is $5. and no more satisfying than the lunch. But both Berlin lunch and dinner are very much bet ter than they were during the war, or even three months ago.
 Butter Down to S0 a Pound.
 Butter may now be bought in the open market for s4.5O to s5 a pound as against sS and $S.5O. Smoked bacon Is obtainable for s3.75 per pound. White rolls are appearing at 10 cents per roll, as against 25 cents two weeks ago. White flour has dropped from SIPS to 75 cents per pound. Pork Is to be picked up at
 
 SAYS and s5 a week ago.
 Altogether, the food outlook begins to be brightening for the ultimate consumer-if he has bales of German paper money.
 I heard the sudden angry roar of an orderly German mob. A ring leader flourished his umbrella in the face of a young Noske guard. There were shouts of Take cover" A placid German woman near me re- | marked humorously: ''The Noske | folks are shooting again."
