BERLIN TO -DAY
(By F. Sefton Delmer)
Mr. F. Sefton Debaser, who left
Berlin on May 203rd, is an Australian
and became English lecturer at Bere
lin University in 1901. Interned at
Ruhleben from NOvemger, 1914, to
March, 1915, he afterwards enjoyed
unusual opportunities of observing
developments in Berlia.
In Germany there is, at present in
use a method eakretly but very ex-
tensively practised of .obtaining a
kind of flour from wood.This flour
goes by the name of Holhinehl. It is
A niodification of the discovery of a
Swedish "savant," whose name I
have forgotten. I saw a German
translation of his book on the subject
in the hands of the Director of the
Fodder Commission.
This new wood -fodder is a Skirt of
forlorn hope which the landowners
have eagerly clutched at. The Rus-
sian forests in the occupied districts
are bating ruthlessly cut down and,
turned into wood -meal. This wood -
meal is intended primarily to serve as
a cattle food. Of its nutritive pro-
perties I know nothing. They are
said to be low. Bread is also made
from it, and I heve been told that it
is given to the soldiers. I am more
inclined to think that it is reserved
as a delicacy for the prisoners'
camps. It -will prebehly be an im-
provement on the war -bread served -
out to 11S at Ruhleben in the winter
of -1914-16, which was made of all
sorts of inferior ingredients and in-
cluded flour made from straw.
In. the Russian - forests Russian
prisoners are being employed to det-
troy Russian property-. In the earlier
stages of the war the treatment of
the Russian prisoners was brutal' in
the extreme,the theory being that the
analphabetic Russian was a kind of
animal that understood no argument
but the knout. I have on seyeal oc-
casions walked through the forests
round Berlin where Russia prisoners
were at work -sawing down tzees, wed
bearing them away on their shoul-
ders. I saw what hard exacting work
it was, two men carrying the huge
logs, heavy with sap, that would have
taxed the strength of „three, while
their task -masters looked on with in-
' Oolent air of Jniperioriti and with fix-
ed bayonets; And remember, plow,
Mr. Pacifist, that the German bayo-
net is not there as an ornament, but
is regarded by ,the man who carries it
as a very effective ox -goad. I man-
aged to 0)1111ggle a few cigars into
the bands of these poor, un-
fotunate ' wretches, by dropping
them in their way at a propitious
pigment. The captiyeo, no doubt- not
knowing that I was an ally, took me
Lor 130-111e;Aew.,Mte.. of Gerflyi.U-1
ird':GOrnitit, 40.1.0(i where t mill.t-
tle son Denis was staying laat Easter
he heard the German overseer assur-
ing the Russian prisoners employed
there that Russia was done for."Nehr.
nein" said the Russian prisoners,
with their unconquerable smile."Rus-
sia not ,done for! Russia strong!"
A most important revelation about
the Russian prisoners was made to
me in an nguarded -moment by a
certain higli official about a year ago.
I mention it in the hope that it may
become known in Petrograd and tak-
en to heart by our friends there. "Af-
ter the war," he said, "German agri-
culture will be of supreme import-
ance, but, as a. result of the appalling
losses wc have suffereo there will be
a great lack of farrn bands in our
fields. We,-therefore,
at the conclu-
sion of peace, mean to keep 'bank as
many as we .can of our million Slav
prisoners. They makeexcellent and
docile farm -laborers."
"But how .will you manage to keep
them here if they want to return
home?" I inquired.
"Oh they are mostly illiterates,and
if we treat them well they 11 prob-
ably stay of their own 'accord. Many
of them are already "forann' g con-
nections, illicit it is true, With Ger-
man women, on the big estates where
they are at work. But, of course, if
they ' refuse to stay we shall find
means to make them. With proper
education in a German milieu, in less
than a generation they Will be Ger-
mans."
I have, as a result of long obseva-
tions, come to the conclusion that the
modern German is never good or kind
for goodness' or kindness' sake. If he
does an !apparently philanthropic ac-
tion, it is always with a material mo-
tive. If he treats prisoners well it
is a matter ofpolicy and not for
Christ's Sake. He believes in phllan-
thropyonly when it paw him a tin
per cent. dividend. That is why the
treatment of Russian salsoners hs
somewhat improved of late, with thel
diatinctobject of cajoling them as
individas into becoming the tools, the shops, but occasionally an enter-
ed Germany. , The Germans know
that the Russianf the bravest of
soldiers when well led. "If we could
only get these grown -mi children in-
to our hands and train them under -
German officers we could sweep Eur-
ope!" I have often heard them say.
Folk in Berlin are already anxious-
ly gathering together in their cellars
what coal they can in anticipation of
an even greater shortage next win-
ter than they had to suffer from in
the winter just past. For want of
coal many schools had to be closed; in
some cases for several weeks.

It was the poor who felt the pinch
most. The long queues of people in
the streets, waiting hours for coal on
thote bitter days with 22 degrees of
frost, excited one's pity. The great
gold certainly made them feel the
lack of fats and nourishing food still
more keenly. "We have learned what
it is to bear hunger, now we must
learn what it is to bear cold," they
said, half bitterly, half stoically.
They shudder at the thought that
the war may last over another win-
ter, and say "Impossible, impossible!"
Almost the first question that peo-
ple in London ask me when I meet
them is: "How in the world did the
prising tradesman will manage to

In modern Berlin it is moreover,
practically out of the question, even
for rich people to have kgu.efsts to
meals, so few articles of food are
there that do not come under the
ration cards. The articles that may
be purchased without cards are poul-
try, including crows and sparrows,
but excluding fowls, which are only
obtainable on the meat cards, and
cost 6s. fid. a pound; -fish, which was
practically unobtainable all the whi-

her body was recovered in comoara-

purpose. The other young ladies me-

Dear Mother,—Received a letter
from you last night and one this ev-
ening which I was pleased to get,
also got one and some papers from
Toots, and one from Charlie at the
base, where he expects to be for a
month or so. A fellow in Art's unit
was down last night and told me the
sad news that be had been kiled a
week ago yesterday 1110131illg, but I
suppose You would have the news in
a few daysr. I know it is pretty
at
hard but we 11 take our chalices and
do our best a d Mother, he died the
best place a man coukl, om the field,
doing his duty so be proud of him
and make the best of it all. I heard
from this fellow a shell killed four of
them and wounded Charlie Riley,
badly. I was over trying to locate
the chaplain ot his unit but they had
moved. To -morrow I'll see what I
can do. The fellow told me where he
was buried, quite a walk from here,
but may get up as i know the ceme-
tery. You were saying that Toots
received a lot more mail than you. I
am sorry, but I write the both of
you every second day or night and
it is very seldom that I miss. Hem
you are feeling all right and going
to visit Toot's place, in fact he there
by now. The weather is real nicei
here and I am feeling fine so will
write to London before it gets too
dark. Best regards to all.
