"REAL CONDITIONS" IN GERMANY
AMERICAN JOURNALIST'S ■ IMPRESSIONS. Australian-New Zealand Cable AasoaiaUeH. New York, October 15. Mr. Herbert Swope, wWiras sent by the New York "World" to investigate the real conditions in Germany, says that the, search on entering the coim-' try is,incredibly severe;- even. Ma'fountain, pens were emptied. The censorship i is unbelievably severe. The "Berliner.' Tageblatt" was suppressed for a whole week for some unknown cause. Internal politics are reaching- an important crisis, and ho is convinced that the Liberalisation of the Government is inevitable. The mental change from the certainty of victory to the fear of defeat is reflected in terrible depression; dancing is forbidden, and he beard no laughter in the theatres. He was astounded afc the all-pervading and unreasoning ' hatred of America.' Mr.- Gerard (the American Ambassador) is disliked cause he is not violently pro-German. There are no young men in Berlin: women do all the work. The staple food is fish; but there is a suspicious absence of dogs in Berlin.
