IN GERMANY TO-DAY

THE GAY LIFE IN THEATRES AND HOTELS AND ТЕС GRIM SHADOWS BEHIND.

Interesting sidelights on life in Germany today are given in a series of articles by Mr. George Renwick, the Daily Chronicle's Berlin Corres- pondent.

In the article printed below, Mr." compares the life of the crowded theatres and restaurants with the grim shadow of hunger and want, which have wrought so un- mistakable a change in all classes.

It is natural that people should ask many questions of someone who has come cut of Germany after a stay there of nearly five months. "Has Germany really changed, much?" is, perhaps, the query which has been put to me most frequently. It is a somewhat hard question to answer briefly, for there are many particulars in which the Fatherland seems scarcely to have changed at all; war and revolution appear to have swept past and altered nothing by their tempests. In other direc tions, five months are scarcely suffi- cient to accustom one to the tremen- dous changes which have taken place.

Not many days ago I had occasion to walk along the "Avenue of Vic tory," and it was something of a surprise to see workmen busy in that rainglorious valhalla spring-clean ing" the pompously-posed statues of

It is boxing which, perhaps, attracts the people most of all; Berlin, indeed, may be said to have gone "boxing mad," and he must be a great enthusiast who can keep count of all the different champion- ships in "the noble art!" which have been fought and which, according to the grim placards, are to be con tested "new art" placards. on which the boxer is often represented as quite as terrible a person as the dread Bolshevist, on the weird posters issued so lavishly by the Anti-Bolsh vist League!

THE NEW ARMY.

The army has, indeed, lost much of its colour"; the once picturesquely uniformed officer is now hard to distinguish from his men; the men." well-clad. and equipped, look in- finitely more workmanlike that they did some months ago. But it is

plainly enough. And the humerous placards appealing for volunteers suggest a difficulty in obtaining recruits or in persuading men to rejoin.

But turn out of Unter den Linden into Friedrichstrasse the difference is something like that between Re gent-street: and the Strand-and the other, the changed Germany, still strikes you as forcibly as ever it has done since the revolution. When you can buy matches-very bad ones at 4d. a box-from a man who, still in shabby feldgrau, was once in one of the famons Guard regiments, then youtecognise how far war has broken and reduced a nation, once so great and formidable.
