HERE you are given the story of Life in Berlin

a neutral journalist, and was sent to London from Berlin.

IN LONDON: There are still-young men to be seen in the streets, and there are still taxis.
THESE ARE THE SHOPS-

Retail stocks are scareer than before, but street queues have mostly dis- uppcared.
Several articles are absent from the shelves of the shops altogether, and hundreds of others can be bougat nly with special permits which pre doled out sparingly by the authori ties, on special application.
The authorities say reassuringly that the British blockade will never work as it did in 1917, that there are ample reserves, and that Russin will supply any deficiency.
IN LONDON: There is no scarcity of food except bacon, here and there. One per cent, of German ships have got home since the war; Russia's ald to Germany is doubtful.

ANTWERP.
GREAT anxiety is felt at Doorn for members of the Hohenzollern dynasty liv- ing in Germany. Over several weeks ex- Kaiser Wilhelm has awaited messages from his children, and grandchildren. He regu- larly sends letters, but he does not get any
answers.

His eldest son, the ex-Crown Prince, is virtually interned in his home at Potsdam. German telephone operators will not connect calls to his number.
Among members of the ex-Kulser's family in Germany who are closely watched are Wilhelm's favourke grandson, Prinee Louis Ferdinand, who would probably be emperor If the German people demanded a return of the monarchy.
Document Ready
When the ex-Kaiser gave a party for his eightieth birthday several officers of the late Imperial Army, headed by Field-Marshal von Moc- kensen, were present.
It in reported that the ex-Kaiser has in his sate a document drawn up In the presence of several oflcers in which he authorises them to transfer all his rights as head of the Hohen- zollern dynasty to Prince Louis Ferdinand, who married two years ago the Russian princess, Kyri

BRANDISHING a revolver, the commander of
a German U-boat ordered a British crew, adrift in an open boat, to "smile or die," while he took their photo- graphs.
Only a few minutes before he had sent their ship, the steamer Sneaton, to the bottom of the Atlantic. The only warning given was a shrapnel shell that burst on the deck, killing one of the crew.
This amazing story was told by members of the Sneaton's crew who have landed at Weymouth.
