"There's a Reason**
By HARRY PAYNE BURTON.
Berlin.—"What a relief!"
That was the thought that flashed
upon .me as the luxurious limousine
which Berlin calls a "taxi" whizzed up
Friederichstrasse and turned into the
famous TJnter den Linden.
For, indeed, this capital was a con
trast, and a most grateful one, to Lon
don. There the darkened streets, ever
expectant of Zeppelins, gave one the
shivers, even more than raw, yellow
fog. Here lights blazed everywhere,
the air was clear and bracing, and
well-dressed crowds were scurrying
to the theaters, to the opera or to
dine at the great restaurants.
"Starving Berlin!"
"Saddened Germany!" The phrases
of every English newspaper made me
smile.
I began to wopder, as any neutral
person must wonder who goes from
London to Berlin, just how much of
the news printed in the papers of
England is true—aiid how much of the
news printed in the papers of Ger
many France and Russia is true!
I decided to find out, in one case at
least.
Strong Men at Work.
I made my start at the Adlon hotel.
I noticed, first, that there stood at the
door two footmen and two doormen.
Surely there are no more in peace
time! Also, there were five clerlis
behind the desk. Both elevators were
manned by husky young fellows of
twenty-five or so. In my room I rang
for the waiter and the valet. Both
came at once, and both were young
men. Both insisted the staff was hot
reduced, and, moreover, they said
nearly every employee in the hotel was
German.
"Why aren't you at the war?" I
asked each in turn. "We are not need
ed yet," they replied. "And we won't
be unless the war lasts a year," they
added.
I went to the dining room. I was
the only one in the room not in eve
ning. clothes or in soldier's dress.
There was a waiter at each table, and
nearly every table was the center of
a gay party.
No Sign of Alarm.
The women chattered as lightly as
they do today in New York, Chicago
or San Francisco. The men semed as
unconcerned as any well-fed Ameri
cans.
Certainly I decided that the "aristo
crats'* of Berlin were not fearful of the
outcome of the war.
Perhaps, I thought, a "kaffee-haus,"
patronized by the "middle class,"
would tell a different story!
Nine o'clock found me at the famous
Piccadilly coffee house, now called the
Vaterland, in Potsdammer platz. I
could not get a seat for 15 minutes, and
its capacity is 2,000 persons!
Here were the young men of Berlin
with their sweethearts. Most of them
were less than thirty, and they were
having a riotous time.
The band was playing "The Blue
Danube," and dark Maenchner was
going by in bucketsful. Gayety was
everywhere. And I saw this scene pot
one night, but on six nights hot in
one coffee house, but in at least a hun
dred.
PH
Restaurants Are Thronged.
And the restaurants at noon told tfe
same story. 'On, two days I could not
even get a seat at the famous. Kem
pinski's, although it is almost impos
sible to lunc$ there for less than a
dollar.
There was not any curtailment in
food: every table d'hote meal In Ger

necessities are kept stationary in sell
ing value.
At all these places the people were
all willing to tell me anything I asked.
They believe that the Americans will
be their friends once they "hear the
truth."
And that version, I am bound to say,
is identical wherever you go. If Prus
sia believes in this war, then so does
Saxony, so does Coburg and so doeB
Bavaria.
What the Germans Believe.
Here is what every German in Ger
many believes today:
Russia, in her thirst for land, wants
to break up the Austrian empire so as
to gather in the Slavs who live there
and then absorb as much of Germany
as she is able to get.
England is insanely jealous of Ger
many's growing power, of the superior
ity of her manufactured wares which
are fast monopolizing the world mar
kets, and that these two have en
gineered this war for the purpose of
crushing Germany forever.
That, therefore, the Germans are
now fighting for their very existence
as a nation and that, since death is
better than dissolution, the German
kingdom must fight until the allies are
overthrown or until every man, wom
an and child in Germany is killed!
The feeling for their various foes is
this:
Indifference for tlitf Russians as an
unaided power.-
Contempt for the Belgians.
Pity for the French.
Hatred, the most intense conceiv
able, for the English.?
I found the most profound respect
for the kaiser. He is looked upon as
the savior of the national existence,
and his conduct of the war and the
state under war is accepted as marvel
ous.
German Life Normal.
German life has been kept so normal
every where—there is not a sign of
lack of employment, not a sign of dis
tress, not a sign of a tight money mar
ket—that gratitude to the powers that
be is seen on every hand.
"Is it not wonderful," every German
you meet asks you, "that we do not
feel any effects here of this terrible
world-war? You would not know that
there was a war, would you?"
And if you /truthfully answer you
say you would not.
At least you would not until by
chance some day you pass the war of
fice on Dorotheen strasse just at the
corner of the great Tiergarten.
And then you know!
The war office is a great, gray build
ing, with a foundation of smooth gran
ite on which has been put a high pol
ish. This building must be 500 feet
lopg and certainly half as wide The
granite base makes an excellent blace
to paste lists of the "verwundet" And
"verwundet" means "wounded
Post Lists of Wounded
And, as you will find if you study the
.lists closely, "wounded" often means
"killed."
You can find "gefallen" after a name
on these lists almost as often as you
can "verwundet." A cynic in Berlin
told me more often. And be had
watched them for five weeks.
You wonder what the crowd is
which chokes the road. You skirt the
edges.
Periodically you watch someone—it
is generally a woman—detach herself
from it and start, toward the paper
posters on the walls of the war office.
Sometimes she goes directly to it. but
more often she stands stock still when
she is some three feet away.
Women Afraid to Look.
TJhen she turns quickly anrwalks
away. Walks away—without looking!
"She'll come again—in 15 minutes,1,
said my cynical friend. "She'll keep
coming until sometime she forces her
self to the list to see if his name is
there. And no doubt she'll faint if she
reads 'Gefallen,' after it. She may, in
deed, if she reads only 'Schwer ver
wundet'^—heavily wounded.
Many of them do. For I myself saw
three women and an old man faint
Also I saw one woman go mad there.
only went along .Dorotheen strasse
once.
All over Germany, with the above
and one other exception, I found noth
ing but courageous hearts—hearts
that believed the fatherland is fighting
for actual existence. The one other
place I mention was in the socialist
camp!
Socialists Are Dissatisfied.
I had aske'd a group of the leading
socialists in Berlin, members of the
reichstag, when -I was having lunch
with them, why they voted for the
war.
"We were told," they replied, "by
the government officials that the Rus
sians had already crossed our eastern
frontier. There was nothing to do in
such a case but to vote for the war.
And
Ave
had to accept, in such a crisis,
the government's word as the truth!"
"But do you now think that it was
true? I asked. "After these months?"
My friend,*' said one of the men to
jne, a socialist whose name is famous
around the world, "we are not living in
America. We cannot say what we
think. Martial law prevails in' this
land. But we believe that we, as well
as the socialists of every other country,
were not told all the truth about the
reasons leading up to this war.
"And we have not deserted our
brothers in England' and France. Nor
have we lost faith in them. And we
ha,ve learned things—a war will never
be engineered in Europe again that is
not thoroughly understood and
thrashed out first by the socialists!"
One Note of Dissent.
That lunch conversation constitutes
the one note of dissent in Germany in
regard to the great world-war. It
seemed only a fragment of a tone com
pared with the thundering diapason
that is going up in accord from all the
other throats in the kaiser's empire,
but it may, in time, swell until it
dominates the entire symphony.
It is too early to say but, in a way, it
was the most interesting thing I heard
in Germany. For it is the first sugges
tion that the outside world has been
given that the great host of German
socialists are not shoulder to shoul
der in mind, if'they are in body, with
the imperialists of "das deutsche
Reich."

Mrs. Melissa Fouts of Cannelville, born

Her daughter, Mrs. Mary Mclntire,
nearly fainted when her mother told
her how much she was suffering,
these few words being the first she
had ever uttered. She called her

and then passed away. Her husband,
who died several years ago, also was

SH0RT COATS ARE WELCOME
New Fashion Will Come as an- Ea
peoial Boon to the Woman of
OmaK Proportions.
It is with great joy that the little
woman will welcome the little short
coats that are making themselves
felt in sotne of the new suits. They
are becoming to short women, and are
distinguished in line and cut. They are
especially good in the military^ suits
that are surely the season's favorites,
and are a relief from the low-waisted
tunic coats that are an established
fact in the story of the styl°s.
These short coats are the old box
cut in all its Variations. The straight
cut, with perhaps a turned-up hem
of the material and smart trimming
of buttons and braid, will appeal to
the woman who likes straight lines
and a severity of decoration. One
suit of this type has fitted sleeves
that come to. the wrists and are
trimmed on the outer, line with but
tons. The suit is of velvet, and bias
a high collar of squirrel fur that con
trasts with the Russian green of the
velvet. There is a side fastening
under the silver ball buttons, and a
teat facing of about two inches is the
finish for the edge of the coat.
Another coat suit that shows the
short- lines is of taupe broadcloth.
The Jacket is hip length and has an
extended yoke, that is the line of at

give fullness and a box effect. At the

Sashes and Belts.
Sashes and belts vary enormously,
and are decidedly quaint. Some of the
waistless gowns are rendered all the

seems added on purpose to enlarge the

A Cape Model.
An old cape model had great scrolls
of velvet that continued in straight
bands along the. edges. It was of graen
broadcloth. The bands were of black
velvet piped with satin on the edges.
A striking fur set was a ripple shoul

fur. This changes the silhouette very
