BERLIN. Aug. 26.—Approximately
1,000 Americans here received letters
from the United States consulate
general today asking them to leave
the country .
Until now, advice to leave was
given only on inquiry.
The letter, signed by Acting Consul
General Raymond H. Geist, read:
“The Embassy desires to inform
gou that it considers it advisable foi
American citizens in Germany to de
part from this country with a view ol
proceeding to the United States
Please notify the Embassy of youi
action."
Women employes in the Embassy
and consulate were told they might
leave now while the men on duty
remained.
Few women, however, accepted.
Arthur E. Dunning, secretary ol
the American Chamber of Commerce
In Germany, said after inquiry
among American businessmen rep
resenting United States firms that
'•practically every body is determined
to stay as long as possible.”
Most businessmen, however, have
Sent their families away.
All American newspaper corre
spondents are staying for the pres
ent. Some have sent their familie<
•way, but most wives said they would
Stay.
Men Called to Colors
Many offices, foreign as well a:
German, received no tnail thi.<
morning. Upon inquiry, they were
told postofflces did not have suffi
cient personnel to expedite the mail
The fact was that overnight,
everywhere, men of service age were
called to the colors.
In the immediate vicinity of the
Associated Press bureau a baker, ar
Iron worker and a janitor had beer
called away in the early morning
hours.
A laboratory worker in the As
sociated Press News Photo Office wa.«

for military duty.
Beginning today the sale of gaso
line was restricted to military and tc
foreign diplomats.
A well-known music hall has been
converted into an emergency con
script enlisting office.
Women we're standing outside to
day waiting for husbands and sweet
hearts to reappear.
When doors swung open, twc
police officers headed a procession
of men carrying every conceivable
sort of bag. The police marched
the men off. while the women tried
to wave with handkerchiefs, or
even aprons.
N'o Air Travel.
Inquiry at Lufthansa, the Ger
man airways company, brought the
laconic reply: "All lines are com
pletely sold out."
The counter-question. "But are
they flying?" evoked the rejoinder:
"We told you, all lines are sold out."
The Associated Press bureau here
Is located so that most commercial
airplanes cruise over it before land
ing at Tempelhof Airport. This
Whole forenoon one solitary plane
Was observed overhead.
The famous avenue Unter den
Linden presented a curious aspect:
Military officers were dashing up
and down in cars or carrying one
bag or suitcase each.
In strange contrast, big sightseeing
guuuuuuuumiuuuuoouuo
cars were Jammed with people.
Railroad tickets now are sold only
to the border, the big tourist bureaus
advised prospective travelers.
The only exception is for travel
ers who can produce dollars, pounds
or other “good” foreign currencies
for purchasing their tickets from the
border to their final destination in
other countries.
One clerk advised the Associated
Press that at one of the railway sta
tions advice was given to Germans
that for the present private persons
could not get train accommodations.
It could not immediately be estab
lished if this rule were general.
