WAR FACTS FROM BERLIN (Continued from firBt page) pie "knew tl.cir Kaiser and. from tindemonstrations it was apparent they |o vet i him. . Mobilization orders were being issued in every direction. Tile mil- j city, including telephone and teiegrnpli office* and the JKist offices. ^iothing was allowed but German on the telephone and .110 letters were taken with any guarantee of early delivery and only if written in German and left' open I*. so that tliey dould be read. Berlin r, •rented stunnisl. TJ, could not bidicve 1 that war was possible Germans arc n , peace loving pe«|ile though they are tlie j . bmt trained soldiers in Kurope. They i ; are taught that the defense of their) Fatherland is the defense*,,! their home. ' Any idea that Germany brought on this j awful war cannot be -believed by any | one who was then-. She only deelari-d j war after Russian troops bad come In to j, Germany on the east and French troops', on the west. Tip- true picture of G,-r--j many's position is ln-st understood from | some information my father was 'for.', lunate to learn. One of his acquaint - 1 an res happened to be the - intimate friend of one of the Kaiser's military' staff. This staff officer told my fath- j cr's friend the following morning after war had been declared. He himself was j in the long sessions of the Kaiser and! the military staff when the Kaiser finally ordered a declaration of war. He said that the Kaiser could not believe war was going to be necessary. TinKaiser was exchanging telegrams with the Oar. his blood relative, as well as with the King of England, also his relative. He had great faith that the Oar would not permit Russia to make war w-ith Germany. His Ambassador at St. Petersburg had1 the day before been assured by the chief of the Russian military staff in. the strongest language po---aible and upon bis word of honor that there had been no mobilisation in the

western pint -of Russia and that Russia had no intention of mobilizing against Germany. Later it developed that moIbilization bad .been going on for five days. notwithstanding the word of honor and the Czar's telegrams to the Kals,-r. later it was burned that this • treachery of the Czar grieved the Kaiser • more than anything in his twenty-six ' yqars of reign. Nor did the Kaiser be- - lieve that King George of England would - 1 hold \nit any hope* of lielp to Russia, j ■I"" wn« prepared to le-lieve that Franc- j i would do anything because of their ■ long hatred of Germany. ■ The Military staff urged upon, tbe 1 Kaiser the necessity of not waiting 1 longer to declare war because the Rus_ i Jsians and French without waiting to^de1 flare war themselves bad already ac- • j tually crossed tiio borders into Ger- > jumpy and were tlien making war ' | against Germany. The Kaiser still lies- | ' j itntcd, for to deelare wan meant tlie! " j worst war and the most bloodshed in •jail histoiy. 'Hie Military Staff went so! '[far as to-sav to the-Kaiser. that if he j " would not act under such conditions he • I j must assume tlie personal responsibility! • of delay. Still undecided the Kaiser i • j asked to be left alone for an li9ur. He j • | w ithdrew to another room. The friend J I I of my father's acquaintance had j -.occasion to step to tlie door about three j quarters of an hour later. He said that : the Kaiser Imd his hands at 'his head, r j resting his elbows upon the table, nb- - sorbed in thought. Shortly afterward r he asked the Miltiarv Staff to join him 4 1 Then lie said, in substantially these 1 1 words, and with much emotion.' "A ppar- - entlv. I cannot do otherwise." The ; order for declaration of war was iramcd- ? iately given aud Europe was on fire. It was said then that there were ten i thousand Americans in Gcrmanyj> The • majority of those crowding into Berlin - seemed panic stricken. They wanted r to go somewhere — they knew, not where r —only so they could get -away. Hun- . <Jreds besieged the railroad station wait, i ing all day and all night for trains for • the Belgium and Holland borders. It --i was almost impossible to take their t trunks and most, of them left their bag- > gage behind, taking the chance of never

seeing it again. For days and days there were huge piles of trunks in the street outside the station. "There was no assurance that after getting trains the Y jiasM-ngers could get anywhere, and many are the stories we have since heard of unique experiences and trying , hardship*. Many Americans fonnd ! themselves put off at small interior | towns where they had to remain a week j or two as well as subject themselves to I j the risks of being arrested as spies. One ] 1 young man of our acquaintance was sudk denly arrested and thrown into prison j one Sunday evening on the charge of being a Russian spy. He was not allow- ' •si to communicate with any friends aud was informed that the authorities were passing Upon his case and that if they concluded lie was a Russian spy lie would be taken out and shot on fifteen minutes notice;" Eacli -morning he was told he would know his fate at ten o'clock. It seemed some friends ] learned of his predicament aud with the 1 assistance of the American Embassy at Berlin secured liis release Friday eve- , ning. There were many other such ar- j m rests. In fact, dozens of our acquaint, j anccs were ap-ested in different parte of Germany on one pretext or another, j Such conditions were natural and almost | necessary because of the presence of j large numbers of Russian spies in Germany. They were dressed as nurses and in all sorts of ways to deceive, while one man even had on a German officer s uniform. In such discovered 2 instances the parties were shot at once. There were many very interesting B incidents of arrests as spies.I recall that a German citizen noticed what looked like a ease of eggs being carried from a grocery wagon into a dairy products store. His suspicions were aroused. He ' found two policemen, and they went into the store, examined the ease and fonnd that instead of eggs it was a box of concealed Russian bombs. The man who was involved was immediately ' taken out back of the store and shot. As soon as tlie first days of excitement were over there were few cases of in- . ' justice and the Americans especially . were treated with great consideration. | Germany regarded America as her friend 1 and spared no pains to show her good j willIn the Rathaus in Berlin a remarkable ! j meeting was held, called by the German j officials invliquor. of the Americans mid i . to assure them of .ilieir saf&y. The | 1 Burgomaster or Mayor presided and not i able speeches were made by promiu -ut ! j representatives of the Kaiser, l ien . assurance of financial assistance, i-'j needed, were given. We thought it best to remain in Berlin , because it seemed the safest place in | ' Europe. It teas the German capitol , 1 where discipline was strietr there were j ' the'' proper comforts and we were under I' the immediate protection of the Amer- 1 ' ican ambassador' Our judgment proved!1 Correct for we suffered' no inconven- 1 ninrkable scenes. • • -T~ jT.,>C, E,„w tor!' to our hotel. The feelings against it!" I were naturally v.fv bitter. - In spite of!1 t this, however, when the anilia«ndor and!' - his suite left. -the police protection was:' s perfect and no injury resulted, though 1 f the hissing of the crowd left no doubt : 1 j as to the intensity of its hatred. When ' t the English Ambassador left the English ! r Embassy around the corner a few davsji c later he left secretly in tlie night. The'' • disappointment of 'tl„. Germans in tlie I declaration of war by England was very ' .1 great because fliev felt there was no 1 ■ r. ascn wbst-ver for. England taking any ' ' • part. The windows of tlie English Km. 1 1 bas-y \vcre stoned the following day 1 . bv the maddcm-d crowd. Such outbursts 1 , were due to tie- g-.oiant and in no wise ' . to tlie rank and file of the German cifi- 1 1 . Zens wlio were most law abiding. I ' • Amciiwms were advised not to speak ' English on the Streets for the reason ' - that the average German could not tell 1 ' ■(the difference between an Englishman ' ? j and an American. If one could not 1 i speak German it was almost necessary/ • j to any nothing wbilJThi the streets andr • I in cafes. In justice to the Germans it ' • i must be said that the discipline and 1 • j order in" Berlin during one of the most ' ■ -I irrin'g't iings in its history was remark- 1 ? j able, "Mv father, for instance, was inueh'1 I the midst of the crowds, days and,' I j nights, but was never one* spoken to 1 • oi questioned a.- to his nationality. | ' i There were no riot*. no •Wibardrics'*. . * , no disorder -if ever ( 'ermanv was a ■ united and orderly people it was tnen.

Frenchmen coming • in on the Meat. Meetings of prayer ' - were held in the churches. Hours of the ' . business day were set aside for devo- j ' r tional exercises. Printed sheets were 1 1 t pasted about the city urging the Ger. | » r mans in this critical hour to drink with j < - moderation, to be most economical and".; r to protect their health for the great J '

^ j crisis confronting them. Girls and boyB ■ •t.all about the city were gathering coins ! s- 1 in the Red Cross Societies. Men and j ,e | women, boys and girls of all classes | .d and descriptions were offering their con■e j tributious for relief funds, and there j g j were even many voluntary offerings of ' d j w edding rings and jewelry if required J ,r for melting into money. Women offered k j themselves as street car conductors and 0 I cab drivers and both were common about e j the city. After. a time the. majority of |. ; the street car conductors were women. u j There were also numerous instances .. of the loyalty of all classes, even school ■ J children. It was beautiful to witness ■ d on a sunny morning in the Tier garten, ,. I . rlin's wonderful park, the little cliil- ! y d ii-ii of six aud seven years of age who e horned knitting in the kindergarten. „ mUuoIs,, knitting stockings for the sol- , ■rjikete.

One could not see such I t j tilings without knowing that the Uer-Ai . ; ii. ans were immensely earnest in de- i , j fi nding their homes. . j Everything Frencli or English was • f gotten out of sight. French or English T •. ; signs w ere taken down or names chuug- . i t|ed. French everywhere disappeared, j I f Even the famous name of the old Hotel ! ' . Bristol shared1 the same fate. A crowd l s gathered before it one evening and < , threatened to tear it down. The manage- ! 1 1 l,lpnt bung a blanket over the name j < 1 Bristol but they would not be satisfied 1 1 . until the letters were ripped off.

Nearly all the prominent J t . officers and people were there more or ; t less. T saw most of the prominent off!. 1 : °"r,i bvbn were commanding the German . jatinv.- They were very popular with the « • . i'coplo. Whenever they came to the ho- 1 [tel a crowd would collect and cheer. .1 v i rem" one evening when General Yon I: , ; Her Goltz came into tluHjotel and hail t roffee with friends near where we were f .[sitting. The crowd was so dense when v . ho go out of his carriage that he could <i I , -earielv make his way into thT hotel 1 ,1.11.1 it cheered him so wildly that it ? . i wonld not lie satisfied until he came out c a ml made a speech. He is probably the t , most popular and the ablest general In a ijtle- anny and it is he who is now Gov- t ' eri.or General of Belgium. » One of the evenings in the early ex- t . - citem.-nt as I was sitting in the parlor I of the Hotel Bristol I heard the hooting .[of a mob in the street. I ran to the t .[entrance of the hotel and made mv way C .[info the crowd. A man was getting out t I of an automobile whom the people mis- t . i took to be tbe English ambassador. The 11 mob tried to follow hiin into the hotel a j I ran in out of the way and upstairs t . into a front balcony) The police man- ie . aged 1o kenp the crowd back but it j t f J threw stones, broke windows and threat - jt I'eued serious damage.

In eight ' '' •lavs Germany put about five million '' soldiers into the field. Berlin saw at a ! least one million of them. Trains were '' ' living every few minutes from all the stations for different parts of- the em- " pfre. Even- train was di-eoratcd with ' -' green branches. As the regiments inarch- 1 ed down the Linden to the stations few ! " were strong enough to witness j ^ the scene/t without being stirred. There j c jvere -no indications of enthusiasm for j n adventure or love of war. Tlie soldiers ; "" ' mostly young or in middle life and j ' just left their homes, most of them j P [ with wives and children or fathers and j 0 | mothers left behind. They were vrryjo j serious and often their tears were be- j 1" j yond control, yet their determination to | " J defend their country, gnd if necessary j E

s with their lives, was clearly evident s As they marched by flowers were I thrown and beet wishes of all sorts were s [ called out to them. As the soldiers - j would wave back yrith an "Aufwiederb | sebeu" (until the meeting again) it was f more affecting than can be imagined. I I These processions kept up by day and i night and always with music. Wagons 1 1 heavily laden with provisions, cartridges t and ammunitions, were leaving the city f continually. Long lines of pontoon . bridges, automobiles . with iron frame I works for cutting wires strung across I streets, and occasionally flying inai chines were seen. though us- , ually during the night. Wh* u the mobilization was completed • few \ oung men were to be seen anyi. where There were left mdetly the el- ■ derlv men or those unfit for service. . Nearly every Iconic was in the war and • yet in the first days there were one million two hundred- thousand volun- . i teeter" who were not accepted because • At bey v. era not then needed. Every Ger- ] with "horn one talked, who was ' going to the war, seemed to take it for ; granted that lie had to leave his wife | 'ami children no matter howfthey were , Ui he taken care iif or whether he was i return. Several told Us that they j , ! not afraid to die and if they did . 'not go to the front to defend their Fath- 1 erland. their wives and children would t ! killed by the Russians. A friend , j told us of an instance where a little , was crying his little heart out as ] 1 father was leaving him and his . mother. When the child told his fath. j • or he was afraid he would not come back i father replied 'you can live without i your father, but yon cannot live with- , out your Fatherland." | We were in Berlin a "little more than | month. It will prove to have been ; the most dramatic periffd of tin- war. . ft never expected to live to s.-e such J thrilling scenes. Already t.'.e dead and ' tin- wounded were reaching Berlin. The , hospitals were rapidly filling. Father < i saw tlie first wounded officer to arrive f | at the Capitol. Tlie ambulances and Red Cross motor cars bearing the wounded were decorated with green branches. The empty decorated cars flitting. about the city were silent messengers of trouble. Th.- families of the dead j were requested not. to wear mourning". .. account of the effect on the people." day we left Berlin, the second of : ..

Just j as our train was leaving the procession " starting by our station. 1 wn*-| sorry to miss it. This elynax to the" night of our arrival when war was I d.-clarud we.s one I shall never forget." For nearly three weeks we were bot-|t tl' i! up in Berlin. While we could have I gotten to Holland it seemed best not ! j to go until we could get boat passage! America for we heard terrible tales" of the lark of .sleeping accommodation- j i and there were,r.n iiimi idle men in Rot- j ordain. On account of the very limit! j t ted number of passenger's wlio couTd be j I taken care' of on the few boats about I ;to run from Holland, it was very diffi I i cult to get anything n( all. but father I managed to get berths on the "I'otsdam" .-ailing from Rotterdam on September a '•th.

Many of the! ' prisoners <Iid not seeln very unliappv — i j perhaps thev thought they were at hast 1 -afe! A wounded soldier was showing us " tl,,- difference between a Belgian and! German gun.

It was touching as the soldiers fl j wonld rail out their farewell of*"Auf- , . .-viedersehen." ; Owing to our having American pass- * j ports, approved jhy the German Imperial we had no -difficulty in getting a jout at the border. We were held up p than two hours while passports * [were being examined. A day at the made it possible for us to visit F

- the Palace of Peaoe which Andrew Car- '■ negie built to promote the settlement of e disputes between nations by arbitration s rather than by war. Russia, France, - England.
