BERLIN CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
BITTER HATRED OF BRITAIN
London, October' 19. A "Times" neutral correspondent in Berlin writes: "There is no boasting over German successes. The people of Berlin say: 'Yes, we have had victories, but what of our dead?' The theatres are open, and are crowded nightly to witness patriotio plays. Traffic is regular: the wives of soldiers are acting as tram conductors, the streets are brilliantly lighted, and sport is reviving. The universities are open as usual; and the whole papulation is confident of victory. The educated classes consider the retention of Belgium by Germany unlikely, as the difficulty of ruling it would be greater than the advantage. The populace is not discouraged at the failure to reach Paris, but is confident that that city will yet bo taken. An armed invasion of England is not mentioned, but confidence is reposed in the Zeppelins, a large number of .which are bein» constructed with'all speed. The bitterest hatred is shown towards Britain, whose only motive for participating in the war was jealousy of Germany's industrial development and a desire to cripple German trade. Therefore, woe to Britain." ' , •
