Berlin, Aug. 19. All the principal streets and public squares in the capital of the Reich wore an unusual, alr animation for the last twenty-four hours as it the nation was con- sclous that an advent highly signi- cant in its tumultuous history was about to take place. The campaign as such really ended at Saturday mid-day, but in the even- ing an immense torchlight proces- sion comprising several thousands strong and consisting of women and children matched through Berlin' to the entrancing airs of martial music.
mea
The solemnity of this spontane- ous demonstration crised every heart to thrill with patriotic fer- vour and has given the determina- tion to leave no act of duty neg- lected.
The scenes marked Germany's Indomitable fight to win back again for the German people a place among the nations to which its history and birthright entitle it to.
The whole of Wilhelmstrasse Street of Chancellors' and pre- sidents' palaces and many great ministries Were thronged with people walking in the hope of catching at least a glimpse of their leader. Adolf Hitler. Again and again the cheers of the crowds called upon him to open the win- dow where he gave his supporters and admirers the German salute which was his only way of making communication.
Hitler remained saluting most of the time the great march past last. ed while the croyds again and again sank the "Horst Wessel" song and the hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."

Every Sunday during the summer it is the custom immemorial in Germany that the workers spend the day outside the cities, basking in the sunshine and recuperating their strength in swimming, yachting and camping.
