BERLIN DISILLUSIONIST
SEQUEL- TO KAISER'S MELODRAMATIC TELEGRA M. 'Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) {Rec. Sept. 19, 9.10 a.m.) ROTTERDAM, Sept. 18 Berlin has 'been utterly disillusioned following the Kaiser's melodramatic Dobrudja telegram to impress the people. The newspapers flaunted great headlines and the city was befiagged, and there was hysterical rejoicing- among the people, who eagerly bought later editions expecting news of grea't hauls of prisoners and guns, but they only found the Somme disaster, the loss of Flers, Martinpuich, and C'ourcellette, which the imfitary experts had Just declared- were impregnable. The rejoicing ceased, and there is much bitter comment about the Kaiser raising false hopes, and Berlin went to bed gloomy and dispirited.
