ELECTION MORNING IN GERMAN CITIES No Opportunity

Berlin, March 29. The Inhabitants of Berlin and other cities were given no op- portunity to oversleep and forget the election. The streets from 7 o'clock in the morning onwards resounded with the blare of brass bands, the tramp of marching Black Guards and Brown Shirts, the rattle of numerous lorries packed with voters, and the shouts and songs of the crowds.
The election may be described as a "brown"" election for Brown Shirts were everywhere in the streets, outside and inside the booths. Curious methods were employed to ensure the people, to do their duty. For instance, the public were given a gili » badge after the vote had been cast and the badge was worn int the button-hole. Nobody without a badge was admitted to the encing and other sports amusements in the afternoon.
