=: FINDS BERLIN
-"CITY OF CAFES" /"

with no fear of becoming de
trop."
Berlin at one time was rich In
artist cafes OF a sincerely bohemi-
an character, but most Of these
seem to have disappeared during
the past ten or fifteen years.
There are still few left. where
one sees the threadbare artist. the
emaciated poet and all Of the us,i,
al freaks" that hover around such
places. They sit there for hours
discussing the latest form Of verse,
the growth of the radical school
In painting, and kindred subjects.
The Romanische Cafe is, perhaps,
the most popular Of these "kunst.
ler' cafes.
There are also the film cafes
frequented chiefly by moving
picture folk, where they meet and
talk over the newest picture. the
favorite film stars new contract
and the latest gossip Of the film
world. They are a fairly pros
porous lot; in fact. this industry
has absorbed many Of the penni-
less bohemians Of earlier Berlin
days and converted them into sue
cessful movie writer's or publicity
agents. The women are unusually
gaiiy clad and full of bubbling
life, carrying on animated flirta-
tions with their male co-workers
as they sip their cordials and
coffee.
One encounters cafes, too. where
much business is transacted
trading in jewelry. cigarettes.
grains. etc.-virtually small
stock exchange. Here one notes a
constant movement Of it's patrons
from table to table. There is little
time for a leisurely cup Of coffee
or a quiet chat here.
All through the residence sec
tions Of Berlin. from the more pros
porous part Of the west end to the
poorer quarters in the north and
east. one finds small cafes. some
times having only two or three
tables and seating accommodations
for not more than six or eight
persons. These are sometimes in
ground floor apartments and
sometimes In small stores. and
serve rather as small community
centers where neighbors meet and
over their coffee cups talk over
their common interests.
The Russians in Berlin have
their own cafes. charming, colorful
places with wild gypsy orchestrss
to delight one. The Japanese. the
Hpngarians, the Turks. the Span.
ish and innumerable other nation
alities each has Its own distinctive
cafe where their respective citizens
gather to talk their mother tongue.
and foreigners float in to get
peep at life as It Is lived in other
lands.

So there Is disillusion and
tiredness. We are mentally
fatigued and spiritually disquieted.
Thought has yielded to emotion,
steady purpose to pleasure. De-
sire rules. The consequence, Of
course. Is moral disintegration.
RIGHTEOUSNESS. cynicism, bitterness.
APPEAL TO REASON.
We shall recover because moral
decay to a virile people 10 intoler-s
able. Tho great epochs Of our past
will remain our inspiration.
The present religious disquiet is
not altogether bad thing. It
shows that people are for the most
part determined to be honest in
their religious beliefs. Many are
willing to shut their minds and
open their mouths to swallow what
Is offered as infallible truth; but
the majority demand a reasonable
faith. They will not pretend to
accept what they surmise to be
untrue. And they are slowly re-
constructing faith for themselves.
Belief in the spiritual world is
reviving. Materialism is dying.
Clearly man is not the chance pro-
duct Of a whirl Of electrons; and, II
not, there is plan and purpose In
the Universe. Behind matter, God
exists. With God is the spiritual
realm of goodness. beauty and
truth. To this realm man belongs
az much as to the realm Of matter.
Belief In Christ is also regain
ing strength. The appeal of His
spiritual authority and moral power
Is reasserting itself. Men are re-
aIizing that we cannot afford to
dismiss from our minds the pic
ture of the Ideal Man. Religious
perception Is mutilated II He is
banished from our spiritual
scheme.
WINfER-TIME OF FAITH.
Thus the ground is being pre-
pared for a new Evangelical Re
vival. Thoughtful men and
women are feeling their way
towards q right understanding
Of the relation of God to man.
They are troubled by all sorts
Of difficulties caused by the
modern growth Of knowledge.
They find it hard to separate
things, essential from things nom
esseptial to religion. They do
not always know the difference
between good science and bad.
They follow false trails. which
lead to the slough Of absurd be-
liefs. But amid confusion there
is true progress.
We are passing, in fact.
through the early wintertime Of
faith. In winter all seems dead.

Quarrel With Wife.

On two occasions during my stay
at Doom the Kaiser was absent
from the house overnight. These
childish escapsdes worried his at

secret. Every effort was made
not TO have news Of the Kaiser's
absence from the house leak out.

Until yesterday no one believed
this. Since the armistice all Eu-

that after the war Germany would
be. as before, an example Of disci-
pline, activity and order, for all
the nations.
"The people are SO hard-work.

they all said. Now that this hope
begins to pale, all blame the peace
treaties. accusing them Of being
the cause Of this ruin. Palliations,
expedients. moratoriums. are pro-
posed.
But there is yet another delusion.
The Peace Treaty is draconian. and
executed to the letter would reduce
to poverty a people even more
hardworking and strong than Ger

GERMANY HARD HIT.
Nevertheless, Germany is in ex-
tremis. why? Because the reason
Of Germany's ruin is not only the
peace, with its treaties. but also
the war itself. Germany has been
ruined by the war. by the gigantic,
monstrous, insensate, unimagin-
able efforts she put forth to bury
herself under the ruins Of Europe.
When Germany signed the armis-
tice she was already half a corpse.
Germany furnishes continual
surprises. not only for America but
for Europe, because no one grasps
this simple but wonderful truth.

Stayed at The Hague.

Perhaps there are only q few
persons who know where tn,
Kaiser stayed during those four
days of his absence from Count
Bentinck's palace, but the belle!
among the then members of, his
household Is that he stayed ai
The Hague with one Of his

himself was then living at Thc
Hague as a voluntary exile.
The cause of this serious dis
