'jhe impulsa' will come from Berlin, from the! worklngmen in its factories,', the enii ployes in its Government offlcos and the soldiers in Its barracks and train Ins eamps. Kxpress Trains Still Run It is pari of the German system of. bptlcal illusions that express, trains with sleeping cars, and even with dlnH Ing cars, arc Btlll running to Herlin. But the security which formerly dls- bent upon pleasure, but there was no reflection of It on their faces, which were pale, lWBKard and listless. Their eyes were dull and weary, or unnat urally bright and feerlsh. The rotiRh cst element In tho crowd wero tho .qulto young boys and girls; their elders seemed too dejected nnd Indifferent to 'quarrel. As they shuffled nnd swayed along they appeared to feet the need of supporting themslvcs nnd keeping their balance by sheer weight of num bers. With a sudden shock, the stranger leallzcd that the greater part ,of this tragic multitude was in an ad '.yanced stage of Intoxication. For, al though a tsqunre meal has been unob tainable by fair means In Herlin for at least two years, there Is still plenty o.f liquor, adulterated to be sure, but all the more dangerous for that, nnd potent enough to stipe fy underfed nnd lli-clad people Intent upon forgetting their misory and fears. Many Kail In Street My informnnt walked on down the street. All at once a pooily dressed, elderly man in front of him stumbled, reeled and rolled Into the gutter.

The trains, which are terribly overcrowded with cUlllan passengers and soldiers, are continually patrolled by detectives who demand passports nnd papers several times In the course of a journev. Travelers who cannot provo their identity and business sal lsfactorily are at once arrested taken off the train und cldeht excited no comment whatever from the crowd, who appeared to re gard it as a pel feet! ordinary nit ural occurrence When, a few minutes later, another man. who did not look at All as if he had been drinking, fell in the street almost at the feet nf a policeman who started stolldlv itwa and made no effort to help him, my Informant stop ped and inquired the reason for this strange indifference. The policeman merely shrugged his shoulders. "They often fall like that." he s,ald. "Some- and heavy fines Imposed upon their proprietors. Tho consequence Is that today the wealthy Ucillncr In quest of a mufti clent meal regardless of cost no long er wends hi way to tho gawdy halls of tho "Adlon" or "lllllcr's, but sneaks secretly down a flight of dirty stone steps into s'omo obscure cellar in n poor side street, where droshky driv ers nnd newspaper vendors used to congregate oer enormous ' rouno glasses of "Wclssbler" before the war.

Luxuries In Obscure Cellars Il,e has to pnythe price, to be Mure fifty or even a hundred marks for a meal but all the luxuries that hao leng since vanished from the Berliner's lablo figure on the bill of fares: Jleat, fish, butter, eggs, rice, beans and even ical coffeo For these little under giound restaurants, hidden away In flithy lanes and ill-famed slums of the gieat city, are depots of the vast or ganization of the "Schlelchhaendler," or illegal food-traders, uho finance their proprietors nnd supply their' tnble. The cuisine In these places Is I excellent, and financial magnates, rich i aiKtocrats and high Government ofil-, cluls belong to their faithful clientele.

It is less well known that they have ulso forced them to .fall back upon absolutely primitive methods of exchango nnd barter, as they ure. prac ticed by some wild tribes In distant quarters of the globe, but have" not been In use In Kuiopo for a thou sand years. The mode of piocedure Is something like this. A Berlin manufacturer takes slock of the goods which ho has been able to keep out of Government control or which he still may have left over from pie-war dass. He selects cloth, boap, rubber goods or boots, as tho case may be, and takes them with him Into tho country to the farmers. Ho will refuse even the highest prices for these goods, for It Is food he Is nfter, not money. Thus a pair of boots is exchanged for some pounds of butter: a yard of cotton cloth for so many dozens of eggs, a piece of soap for a nil loin of beef, etc. Half a dozen reels of sewing silk buy a Umburger cheese, air of owralls are and a serviceable in a. dlnneis, raid this gntionomlc haunt qUle worth a sucking pig.

Since tho outbreak of various epidemics ty phoid, cholera, dysentery and grip the schools have been almost contin ually closed. The fathers of most of these children hae either already been killed in the war or are still serv ing at the front, their mothers, when they have not succumbed to tempta tion and deserted them altogether, are working in munition factories and un able to look after them. Their fate is truly tragic. , Murders by Children I,ack of food has retarded their phy sical and mental deelopment, while freedom from restraint and the bad Corners and wardrobes in his room Ue- examples constantly before their eyes (ore retiring and mane Bure uitu. w i ram uiiirai iiictutiuua omnium m visitors are conceaieu bed" of It by them on the way to the hotel. Life in the Berlin hotels, even In the most fashionable and expensive estab lishments, is likewise no sinecure. Par ticularly the traveler arriving from toreign neutral countries, who is not yet Initiated into the mysteries of Ber Jin and -whose trunks usually contain many articles which are worth their reight In gold In Germany, is regarded U3 easy and legitimate prey not only by the servants but often by the guests Of the hotel. If he does not wish to be'rohbed-durlng the night he must carefully lock and bolt his door and hmiiirhlv investigate all the dark "Schlelchhaendler." Suits made of pure wool und cotton stuffs, unmixed with vegetable flbeis and paper, cost at least 2000 marks: Consequently, many peisons prefer to wait to buy clothes until after the war and use up their old clothes. Men who have worn out their business suits aro frequently seen In the streets in the morning hours dressed in dress suits and smoking Jackets, which, not having been worn much, are still "as good ns new." Wooden shoes are quite common In Berlin now, and shoemak eiH charge from sixteen to efghteen marks to resole boots with wood, the stock of leather being absolutely ex hausted. Savage Instincts Awakened The vicissitudes of the war have brtitn.1 egoism of theso wealthy up starts hns been a potent agent In stirring up tho latent revolutionary In stincts of the masses Jn tho Gorman cities, and It is extremely prubtiblo that their overbearing Insolence nnd uttor disregard of even tho rudiments of patriotism and citizenship will ono day bring upon them teniblo rotrlbu. tlon, Hlg Pay for Workers Tho Berlin worklngmen, who ns a class used to be diametrically op posed to the rich, have moved up to tho second placo lrt tho social scale and now really form tho mlddlo class. They earned high 'wages In tho war Industries, often so much ns three marks nn hour, a day's work bring ing them twenty-flvo or thirty murks, which they spent freely In amuse ments and drink in' tho evening. This represents a much larger Incomo thali tho majoilty of tho old German mid die class- -ofllclals, school teachers, lnwyeis, doctors, Judges nnd profes slonnl men generally havo nt their dlsposnt, for tholr salaries and earn ings havo remained almost stationary sinco the outbreak of tho war. In Herlin, tho numerous class of sub ordinate ofllclals nnd employes wltK small fixed salaries Is reduced to-absolute misery. They me today the real proletarians, living In hopeless, sordid Indigence and scarcely able to exist at all without having recourse to criminal practices. For they have neither money enough to buy food, like the successful speculator nnd tho highly paid workman, nor goods to ex- I change for food, like the small tradeB- j man and merchant. This new prole I tarian class of low wage-earners, most ly with Inrge families. Is sunk today, in a great city like Berlin, in thtt deepest abyss of want. The natural consequence Is that. while its members foimerly supported i and represented the bourgeois element in Geunan politics, they have now be come converts to extreme socialism and Bolshevism, and enthusiastic fol lowers of Haase and Llebknecht. They foun the leal revolutionary element I today but their very misery serves to cow- them and they are not qi ganlzed I for action like the worklngmen with i their trade unions under the leadership I of the astute I-egien. i Workmen Oteriiearinjr I The i evolutional y danger will sub I slst een If a really democratic gov ernment Is established throughout Germany. The Berlin worklngmen, for the very leason that they have i been so long pampered and spoiled by the Goernment's according them ex cessive wages, extra food rations, and I even donations of clothes, are anl i mated by nn ovej bearing and aggres I slvo spirit. The best Illustration of I the transformation the classes have undergone In Germany is afforded by the audience at nny of the Berin theatres today. The scene Is already almost wot thy of Bolshevistic Petro grad or Moscow. In the boxes sit magnates of the "Schleiclihandel," flashing diamond rings fiom their thick' lingers) dis coursing boisterously, devouring fruit nnd nonchalantly flipping orange peels and cherry stones over the balustrado , into the pit.

Tho former middle. class, when It can afford tn visit n theatre, at nil, Is relegated to tho gal lery, Even In Iteliiliurdt's "Doutsches theatre." tho csoterlo templo of the dramatic muse, bcencs llko tho above, eye-witnesses tell me, can bo observed nightly, nnd coarso laughter, ironical remarks, and occasionally nn apple core whizzing through tho nlr Inter rupt tho dialogue of lbsohor Strlnd bprg. , 't in. the cafes nnd . cabarets the change Is still moro striking; 'tho offl ce'rp nnd students who' were formerly tneir best customers havo vanished altogether, and it is not unusuni to sco worklngnicn In their overalls drinking forty-mark bottles of bad uprman champagne with chorus gins anil music-hall artistes. All the places of pleasure in Berlin aro per vaded by un ntmospliero of repulsive brutality. The classes regard each other with mutual distrust, contempt nnd hatred, and the anxious question upon everybody's lips Is: What will happen when tho nrmy is fully dls banded and the defeated,' Infuriated soldiers flock hack Into tho capital? Teniblo times of anarchy and blood shed, unless 1 am greatly mistaken, aro still In store for tho Inhabitants of Berlin nfter all tho misery nnd privations they have endured during tile war. But they do not. deserve pity. Berlin has always been and still Is the incarnation of the selfish, ina terlallstlc Prussian spirit which hns rendered the German race loathsome to all the rest of the World. Until a month or two ago, the people ot Berlin thronged nbout tho Knlser when he showed himself on Unter den Linden, adoring him as a demi god, because they believed he wouin thclf "'reproschlaUvo, Tnan."', If today, they condemn tho former Knlser, It is not becauso tho spirit ,of democracy and liberty 1ms found entrance .Into their souis, but slmpty becaiiso lio has disappointed their hopes, and they imnglno they can elude some of the Just punishment In storo for them by sacrificing tho ,Holienzollorns. The egoism, levity and surprising lack of real patriotism which has distinguish ed tho entire German people, but more particularly the population of Berlin, all through tho wnr, has. In a largo degree, contributed to tho collapse ot the dorman empire. , Tho selfish materialism Is Incurabjcj tho German anarfchy, h,lc(i I bolfovo to be Inevitable, will be but another expression of It In it different 'form. In the days ot frightful rtlsajstcrwhbn Germany was deserted ,fn ,rap"ld sub cession by nil her -vanquished Allle; nnd the German armies were being overwhelmed dally iliitho west, while tho nclchstag was examining thofnd vlsablllty of forcing vthp Kaiser to 'ab dicate nnd tho spectre of. devolution and plague stalked through thb'strcets ot tho capital, the usual autumnal horso races Were being held on the raco course at Karlshorst' near Ber lin, and tho turt was thronged with ij. ' vnrlcga'tcd multitude, avid for pleasure and gain. Thoso races, perhaps tho last that will bo run at Karlshorst for many a day, represent the ultimate uct ot tho Ingenious comedy of se)t-assuranco and "organization," which Oermany has been playing for the laat three years before the nstonlshcd audience of tho world; but they aro also a typical revelation of the Prussianized character of tho German people, of their ubsoluje lack ot dignity and true patriotism, their selfish superficiality and base materialism, which their rulers reared In them for half a cen-' . $100,(H0. foiU, 5.

This new fashion of bartering, which extends to all trades and all classes of the population, points to the ident fact that money has complete ly lost its value In Herlin, as In most other parts of Germany. Fabulous pi Ices are paid by Berlin millionaires for the mere necessities of life. And there are plenty of millionaires In the Geiman capital todav, probably more than hefoie the war, though the names of many of them were unknown a. i,ear ago. For the social status of the elapses has completely changed In Berlin. Men who weie rich be fore the war have either become rich er still through speculations in food or merchandise, or lost everything, even to their former social standing, owing to the depreciation of currency. Obscure tiadesmen and crooks of all descilptions have made millions. Tho "nomeau riche" dominates in Berlin society today, and his airogaiue is both giotesciue and insufferable, lie pas any price, causing tho cost of liIng to soar, higher and higher. Ha Is universally hated and despised, but lectual and professional classes usea he can afford, for the moment at ! to dominate, are now almost exclus least, to scorn his detractors.

For theft is a normal iart of life in the German capital to ItfayT'arfd nothing and nobody Is safe Vtfrom the depredations of the vast tnultltude of thieves recruited from all , glasses of the population.

The Berlin of these ultimate aay fcf the jpreat war Is a "city of dreadful ttlght," darker and more appalling' by far than that vlsloncd by the poet. A j)las'tlc description of the first impres-klon- produced by nocturnal Berlin on foreign visitors was given me recently by a neutral acquaintance.

Born of undernourished, physically exhausted parents, they develop, if they live, Into cripples and Idiots. I am Informed, on good authority, that It often happens now in Berlin that babies are born almost without bones, resembling an unformed mass of flesh without con sistency or vitality. Naturally, under these circumstances, while the birth rate Is relatively high, Infant mor tality Is very great; but it is not yet possible to give exact figures, as the statistics are still kept strictly secret. When they are eventually published teniblo facts will he revealed. For the favorite argument of tho German authorities that the German people have gradually grown accustomed to starvation and are now able to live on less food than other nations with out serious Injury to their health Is a ludicrous bluff, and In reality their constitution has been fatally under rhined for' generations to come.
