. . BEBLIXr vis . .Paria .June l-The.
ulin of Berlin seems unbelievable. The
-rniim and nervous strata- t
waiting for the decision t Versailles is
murh less noticeable in the German cap-
ital than on the streets of Paris.
The first Impressions were that this
- 'Vas due. to the triple holiday of TMut
Sunday gatnrday ttunday and Monday i
iierlin tfa dressed in its best. '- The
minny parks were crowded. A champion-
nhip football match drew many thousands
nt yesterday it was estimated more than
UOO.OOO were at the races in Gruenewald
track where millions of marks chanted
hands. On Saturday a one-day strike of
protest against - Levine's execution oc-
curred but' there was no-disturbance. -Today
is the normal working day for
-.these; times and the. expectations that
the holiday tranquillity would disappear
jyrOved ntirely unfounded. Except for
a little business bustle In the streets and
imblie places it was duiet as Sunday. In
.'arching for an explanation for the lack
Vf demonstrations one is -not 1 entirely
'sjtiBikd with statements that the Teu-
tonic temperament is stoical. Instead
ime comes to beueve -this people is .con-
vinced the peace proposed at Versailles
'Will not be imposed. ' - '"
On; Friday morning the funeral serv-1
of Rosa Luxemberg were scheduled.
The government was reported to be gath-.
pring troops on the edge of ths City 'to
prevent the workmen's intended parade..

tainable the rest of the week except en
meat cards. I see long lines of men wait-
' Jg their turn to ' buy tobaco. " French
rnd Enelish soans are peddled at high
l . ices on tne sireets now. uasi wrra
-s t eet chocolate began -to appear -in shop
(ViUdow. Both French and British prpd-!
;mta are among them.. Wearing apparel
nd automobile tires are . beginniug to
f the reach of all except war profiteers.
Jtl- if Li.u a..Z ...
cnillea are shut off froili all sources of;
...formation except their own represent-
atives who merely are waiting tH Allies'
snswer. The Berlin papers publish all
the varied rumors -concerning the next
tep which appear in the Paris papers.
JUerlia believes nothing until it is offi-
cial. ;: - i
The government was pleased -with the
announcement that the peace terms were
imblished in -America it holds this was
i'io bent thing that could happen to their
. tune bt'f ore the' peace conference.' It
better than whole volumes of .prop-
. an da against the conditions imposed on
i-rmany because they say severity is
i .t approved in the United States and
mt Will afreet- the conference's -delib-iiations
in Germany's favor..

Comes With Propaganda
By Leased Wire to The Houston Post.
NEW YORK June 14. It was said
here that Edward de Valera president
of the Irish republic who has been
miasiBg for 12 days since he left Dublin
was probably on his way to America.
It is believed that the object of Ms visit

be easy for him to get out of Ireland
but difficult to get back.
