(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, April 10.—An Amerizan banker who has just returned Berlin, talked with a party of Eng- lish newspapermen on his arrival in London. He gave them rather a dif- ferent idea of the state of affairs in Berlin than that conveyed by most of the English newspaper comment. He sald: ‘“You English should not ceived by newspaper statements reaching you from various Continen- tal points to the effect that Germany |ls on the brink of starvation. I have lust closed my house in the fashion- tble residential part of Berlin. My household budget was not more than twenty-five per cent. higher on March 10 than it was a year ago. Va- rious staple articles of food cost more ~—as they do in London—but hardly one is beyond the reach of the ordi- nary middle-class householder, or tven of the humbler classes. Every- from be deo- body must have a bread ticket, and there.is no shortage of bread. My family of two and two servants never used the whole of our tickets for the week. The potato-flour bread is only slightly less palatable than the old- time wheaten loaf. “At present no German is capabe of even dreaming of the possibility of defeat. Foolish Misapprehension. “I find also a vast amount of fool- ish misapprehension in England about industrial conditions in Ger- many. Trade does not secm to me to have been materially dislocated. The shops appear to have their regular flow of customers. The coffee houses, the restaurants, the theaters, the con- cert halls, the picture palaces, and other establishments dependent on public patronage seem to be doing as well as eight months ago. The coffee houses which have cabarets are always crammed. “Is it generally understood here that Germany is at the moment short of artisan labor? Unemploy- ment is almost non-existant. Wages are high. A skilled man who used o $1 or $1.25 a day can now Everything con- get only earn $2.50 or $3.00. nected with the output of munitions is working at utmost capacity day and night, Sundays and holida: without cessation. New factories hav: sprung up like mushrooms to produce goods heretofore imported into Ger- many. “A German friend of mine who used to make furniture and found his business temporarily shelved by the war is now making skrapnel, em- - papers, that Germany is so near 1 ploying women and girls ih place uf | est foreign maps as well as data gath- the men who have gone to the front. | ered A Wrong Conclusion. “It is also wrong to conclude, as I sometimes read in the English news- the dregs of her resources that boys of fifteen are being dragooned into the army. Nothing of that sort. A Ger- man lad of my acquaintance, a fine athletic fellow of eighteen, has not been summoned, although he is ready to volunteer. “In short, to the casual observer, there is not outward sign that Ger- many is on the verge of a famine in either men, provisions, munitions or money. The plentifulness of money is almost the only “bluff” that Germany is putting up. The money so ‘plen- tifully’ in circulation is paper curren- cy of value as low as 25 cents, flowing from the Imperial treasury like water. “The Germans in my thanks to' farsighted precautonary measures and natural frugality, can never be starved into surrender. Th can be inconvenienced—they are now —but that is a different thing.” DETAILER EUROPE. WAR MAP Captured by American War Depart- ment Strategists.
