 Berlin Has Few Scars
 Externally Berlin shows remark ably few air raid scars. Buildings like the apartment house in Car merstrasse where 10 were killed, the office building in Dorotheenstrasse and even small establishments like the beer saloon in Lehrter Station either already have been or are being repaired.
 Bomb craters in the streets such as the one in the east-west traffic artery have been filled, repaved ol otherwise obliterated.
 Hamburg, Munch and some of the Rhineland cities have taken a much heavier hammering than Berlin, but it can be said with certainty that no single German city has been as hard hit as some English cities.
 Berlin remains the same in other respects also. Shop windows are dec- orated for Christmas and, although the prospects are for skimpy Yule- tide, there are plenty of willing Spenders. As for traffic, even more automobiles than year ago rumble through Berlin streets, indicating there is no current gasoline short age. The huge stores of fuel taker from Norway, France, Holland anc elsewhere have made this poScSible Dislike for War
 The average German has an in tense dislike for war, but he has b! now accepted the official thesis tha this is fight to the finish, tha European peace can be assured oal. at the price of British equalization
 One of the tragic incongruities o the war is that, very little real hat red of the enemy exists here. Ther, are some fire eaters but have ye to hear a high command com munique cheered or applauded. Tn average German detests air raids but he openly admits admiration for the skill and daring of Britisl pilots who have to fly 10 times a far to reach their targets as do tn Germans.
 In any case, British newsreels 0 British war damage which come her by way of New York, and banner lined newspaper accounts of German blitzraids convince him that he ha no cause for complaint.
 SDeech Interpreted Wrong
 Berlin, Dec. 11-(UP)-The news paper Hamburger Fremdenblatt to- day deplored foreign interpretation of Adolf Hitler'S speech of yeSter' day to German war workers as in dicating a German intention tx beat the world.
 The editorial deplored also inter pretations of the speech as indicat' ing any threat to the United State! from German victory.
 Fremdenblatt said that during tht World War Germany also was ac' cused of seeking to conquer tht world.
 Altogether there is no sign ol hint in Adolf Hitler's argument! that permits one to come upon thu thought that it is cermany's will tt substitute British universalism witt German universal domination, Fremdenblatt said.
 "There is not a single interpre. tation from the German side ant least of all any place in the Fuehr- CTS last speech which permits de- duction of any danger against tht North American world position by victory for German weapons"
 To Free Europe Fremdenblatt said that Ger. many,s fundamental goal in the battle with Great Britain was te free the European continent"
 Tn this European mission which fundamentally intends tc prevent intervention by any over- seas power ther can by degrees be discovered district parallest to the successful emancipation attempts of the North American continent against British uni V ersaisn throughout a century and half,' the newspaper said.
 Competent German quarters branded as absolutely false any translations of Hitler's speech which quoted him as claiming that he would conquer the world or defeat the world.
 German quarters were indignant over reports of headlines in North and South American newspapers in- dicating world conquest ambitions on the part of Hitler.
