(The New York World)
Especial Cable Dispatch)
Berlin, via Copenhagen, April 16.-
Barbed wire barricades, camou
flaged armored cars with white
death sheads and cross bones en-
blems, cannon and machine guns
have vanished from Berins streets.
Life is again so superficially normal
that nothing reminds you of democ-
racy's death grappie with bolshevism
in the German arena.
The sporting world of this week
was absorbed in Berlin's siX-day BIZ
cycle race, drawing crowds despite
the nightly increasing price of seats,
soaring prices being a typical Berlin
phenomenom-a new way discovered
for parting natives from their money.
At two of Berlin's largest cafes
continuous billiard tournaments are
going on Mechanical gambling on
the rolling worries made "A hit with
devotees of sport. Berlin's neurotic
craving for the distinction of costly
amusement conjures a crop of new
advertisements.
Berlin Dances as Munich Burns.
In a Berlin paper is an ''ad" in
which the advertiser seeks a partner
with 100, 900 marks for opening a bar
of new type to Berlin. At La Mont
martre. Berlin dances as Munich
burns, and new gambling clubs for
ladies and gentlemen continue to
sprout, proffering sumptuous free
banquets of Illicit foods and free
liquor as bait to catch members, with
vaudeville and operate stars as a l
added attraction .r
But there's nothing frantic or
frenzied about life in Berlin, on the
verge of bolshevism. Nearly every
body is indifferent or pretends in
different fatalism about the future
Occasionally you glimpse flash of
mild interest inspired by fixed ideas
that if Germany goes bolshevi .
| France will come next and the pros
pect of dragging France down to
ruin is mildly pleasing to those Ger
mans wl,o have already discounted
Germany's doom. And after Francs
comes Britain and the ultra fatalistic
fans even talk in all seriousness of
bolshcvism invading America.
Faith Founded on NOskc's Army.
There is still a decisive minority
of strong men in Germany whose
emporary faith in the Fatherland
is founded on Noske's guards and ma
chine guns. These extreme Jptmists
lieve that ruthless republican militar-
ism can keep bolsheyism at bay for

he asserted. I'VE stand by them be-
cause they are just. We want a peace
that is just. not indicative We want
stern peace, because the occasion
demands it. but ii must be designed
not to crafty vengeance but the vim
dicate justice, Every clause and ev-
cry term in the conditions must he
justified. Above all, we want to pro-
tect the future against a repetition of
the horrors of this war"
The premier said he was going back
to Paris if the house wanted him to
go. Whoever went he declared, must
have the full confidence of the parl' a
ment and carry out his pledges to the
utmost of his power and conviction.
The premier sharply criticised GER
tain newspaper attacks that had been
made in connection with the peace
conference saying:
when this kind of a disease is
carried to the point of sowing dissen-
sion between great allies whose unity
is essential for the peace of the
world, when an attempt is made to
make France distrust Great Britain,
France to hate America, and America
to dislike France and Italy, not even
that kind of disease is justification
for so black a crime against humani-
ty.
To Reduce German Army.
Referring to the necessity of return
ing to paths of peace and of reducing
armaments. the premier said that the
forces of the country which had kept
Europe in arms for forty years were
to he reduced to an army which would
be only adequate enough to police her
cities and protect her commerce.
There were suggestions that there
might be a war recrudescence in Ger

with difficulty could Germany raise
5000 men to preserve order. The real
danger, he said was of the world go
ing to pieces adding:
"A real danger-the gaunt spectre
of hunger--is stalking through the
land"
Premier Lloyd George concluded by
pleading to all mot to soil this tri-
umph of right by indulg'ng in the an
cry passions of mankind but to con
secrate the sacrifices of millions to
the redemption of the human race
from the scourge and agony of war
Questions that have never been
heard of before the war nearly pro-
duced a conflict between two of the
allied delegates. Mr.. Lloyd George
continued, and there were a number
of such questions. But. he added. aft

Deserted U. S. Army to
Enter War More Quickly

Four years ago, when it seemed
the United States would not get into
the war, Private John E. Shea, of
the Thirtieth infantry, then just
boiling over" for action, deserted his
regiment, crossed the border and en-
listed in a Canadian battalion and
went overseas with that organiz2-
ton. The government officials of
the United States, not knowing of
this, reported him as a deserter and
had been looking for him since.
A couple of days ago Shea was
discharged from a Canadian con-
tingent and surrendered himself to
the officials at Camp Dix, expecting
to be courtmartialed, but friends
had interested the officials at Wash
ington in his case and Major General
Hale, in charge of the camp, inform
ed him that official orders had been
received to restore him to good
standing" in the army because of
his fine record with the Canadian
soldiers. He is now a private in
Company B, Fiftieth infantry, the
post garrison.
After going overseas with the Six
tieth Canadian men Shea was trans
ferred to the Fifth Canadian mount
ed rifles and was in the fighting in
northern France and Belgium, win
ming q lieutenant's commission. He
was comm ended for bravery by Ca
: madam officers after he had been
gassed five times and been wound
ed in the knee in action.

Six Americans Win
British Victoria Cross

Six Americans out of 10000 who
served with the Canadian army, were
awarded the Victoria cross, accord
ing to the final list of honors just
completed by the British war records
office. The records show that more
Americans, in proportion to the num-
Der in the Canadian forces, won that
coveted decoration than did Canad-
ians or British.
Two hundred and thirty-eight Vic
toria crosses were distributed during
the great war; six among Americans
in the Canadian army. 55 among the
rest of the Dominion's 100000 SOL
diers, and TT among the British
troops, who numbered approximately
10000 in 1917-1S. That is: To
Americans, 1 to 1000; to Canadians,
1 to $500; to British, to 2S,2OO.
The Victoria cross is the highest
military honor bestowed by the Brit
1sh- government. 1t is the rarest
decoration given by any nation, fewer
than 1000 having been granted since
it was instituted in 1856, at the
close of the Crimean war. For these
reasons, and the additional reasons
that the wearer gets life pension of
S2O a year, it is the most priced of

Sneezed His False
Teeth Into Gutter

A man left the office of Kansas
City dentist the other day with a
full complement Of new false teeth,
valued at whatever stunning figure
false teeth command during after
the-war conditions. Hardly had he
reached the street when he was seiz-
ed with fit of sneezing, and when
the storm had passed over the supper
plate was gone. 1t had rolled into
the gutter, much to the amusement
Of the crowds.
The man, greatly nun1tliated, turn
ed away and went directly back to
the dentist. 81 couldn't stoop down
and pick up those teeth in front of
all those people, you know" he told
the dentist, and proceeded to order
a new plate. This man was consid-
erably more sensitive than a certain
engineer, while leaning out of his cab
window, sneezed and lost his teeth.
He stopped the train, walked back
half a mile until he found them.
On his return the passengers ma
turally wanted to know what he had
been doing, and so pleased was he
with his success that he told them.
And the passengers in turn were so
pleased with the explanation that no
one complained of the delay except
the conductor, who said he had left
his spectacles at home that morning,
but nobody offered to hold the train
for him while he went back after
them
