At the slightest sign of trouble soldiers re-enforce the Berlin police, and one trav eler told of seeing two companies or ma chine gun troops around the royal castle. The were supported by twenty-flve ma chine guns mounted at strategic points to sweep all approaches. Following tho recent labor disorders tho soldiers were removed, but prepara tions are being made to return them for the May-day period when another great strike movement Is threatened In Ger many. The German people aro experiencing keen food shortage now and no hope Is held out for next month, but It was stated there Is little hope of a collapse from privation.
