Hack Drivers Took No Risk.

Finally I discovered group of
rickety- lookina cabs huddled in side
street, the drivers smoking and talk
ing in low tones. My request to be
taken to the Hotel Adlon, in Inter
den Linden was greeted with laugh
ter. Impossible"
1 was tired of that word they all
said. Inter den Linden was full of
machine guns liable to go offs at any
minute. After much parley 1 com
promised with one of the pirates on
the Hotel Esplanade, which l finally
reached by circuitous route.
So here ] am. Outside the big moon
shines softly on the stricken, bewil-
dered city. From my window I see
thousands of winking street lights,
while q yellow glow behind the cur
tains in the houses tells me that Ber-
lin is not sleeping.

Hears Crack of Rifles.

From several points in the direc-
ton of Inter den Linden came the
sharp crack of rifle shots and the oc-
easional sputter of machine guns.
Two blocks from the Kaiserhof /
was stopped by a sentry with a fixed
bayonet, who appeared like a gray
ghost from post against a wall l
could not proceed without a written
pass, but after had managed to ex-
plain that I had just come from Hol-
he called two more ghosts like him
self from nowhere and put me be-
tween them, and so we marched to
the Kaiserhof.
l then understood why I was not
allowed to walk merrily there. The
hotel had been turned into fortress.
An iron lattice was drawn across the
front door, while the whole place
was in darkness save for a feeble
light in the niche formerly occupied
by the porter, but now the lair of
formidable military parsonage who
eyed me with a certain degree of sus-
picion.
The marble floor of the magnificent
foyer and the thick crimson carpets on
the grand staircase were covered with
soldiers sleeping with rifles and steel
helmets at their sides. The windows
with machine guns. while outside
fully equipped and armed guards
marched up and down.
The hotel manager and his wife
were conducted from somewhere below
stairs. They were sorry they could
do nothing for me. Not even give me
food. They expected the place to be
attacked before morning. The man
ager kindly offered TO escort me to
another hotel which he mentioned. So
we--the manager bareheaded-walk
ed through the lines with the aid of
the pass he possessed. But on our ar
rival at the hotel he had named. no
amount of ringing and knocking could
induce anybody to appear at the doos
although it was only 11:15. / told my
companion that l could manage, and
so he left me standing there with my
baggage. but without hope of finding
a lodging.
