THAT WILL TALK

11 There is one member, and only one,
|; of Ambassador Gerard’s party just
| j arrived from Berlin, who will talk to
!1 newspaper men, says the New York
|' World:
Miss Ruth V. Lehman, a pretty, at
11 tractive young woman of Cleveland,
•1 was in the ambassador’s party and she
I is not so “scared” of the newspaper
men as most of her companions on the
historic homeward journew. She has
been in Kurope, studying music for
I five years. Recently she has been a
member of the American embassy
: stair in the German capital and she
[ left there with Ambassador and Mrs.
! Gerard immediately after the break
| in diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany.
“Oh. it is so sad in Paris,” explain
led Miss Lehman. “In Berlin, ah, there
is light and gavety, but in France it is
so dark and depressing.
“Of course in Germany you feel the
effects of war constantly,” she contin
ued. “but the moment we left Ger
many and got into Switzerland we
I could notice a difference. Then, again,
when we left Switzerland and got
into France the old feeling of depres
sion returned with much greater em
phasis. Every one is so sad in Paris.
They feel the war much more than
do the people in Berlin. All the streets
of Paris are dark after 9:30. Even the
stores are gloomy and the proprie
tors are allowed to have only one
little lamp in the rear of the build
■ ing. In Berlin I should not be afraid
I to be on the streets alone at 3 in the
| mprning. The theatres are brilliant
ly lighted and the night life continues
i there as it did before the outbreak of
i the war.”
now Kerlin receive the news ot
the break with the United States?”
was asked.
“Oh,” she replied, with a shrug of
the shoulders, “they didn’t even dis
! cuss it. I was on the underground,
on the street cars and everywhere the
day the news reached Berlin and I
did not hear anyone talking about it.”
“It has been reported here,” she
was told, "that the people of Germany
treated it as ‘just another incident’ in
the war; that it did not warrant deep
consideration.”
“Absolutely true,” she said, decis
I ively.
“Is it true that the American em
bassy’s telephone was disconnected af
ter diplomatic relations were brok
en?”
"Yes, for two days,” Miss Lehman
admitted, but she hastened to add:
"That was done by a petty officer,
not upon any orders from a high offi
cial. The service was restored imme
diately as soon as the German offici
als learned of it. We were shown ev
ery courtesy. When we left Berlin we
were given a private train to the bor
der of Switzerland and a military
guard.
“Then you suffered no indignities
at all?”
“Only once,” was her reply, and she
chuckled at the thought of it. “It was
really quite funny. With my mother
and sister and several other Ameri
I cans we were leaving a moving pic
ture show when 1 heard my sister say
in German: ‘Why don’t you talk to
your own people?’ I looked and saw a
i little German woman following us.
| She hissed ‘You English!’ at us, and
i although we told her we were not
; English, but Americans, she followed
us across the street. I being the
; smallest of the group she picked me
! out for attack, and slapped me hard
! on the cheek. I remembered my moth
i er’s early instructions about it not
being ladylike to fight, but the im
pulse was too strong. I grabbed her
| hands and hit her hard in the face.”
What inconveniences did you expe
rience in Germany as a result of the
I war?”
“We did not have so much trouble,

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
’ EGYPT, April 6.—In the recent raid
of Egyptian armored car column on
the Senussi, an Arabic order of Mo
hammedans, the crews of the cars
(traveled 200 miles into Libyan desert,
1 fought a stubborn and well-hidden
enemy for 20 hours and, during the
night 22 men cars remained within
500 yards of a foe outnumbering them
I by fully 25 to one. The story of the
I raid is told by the British official
I eye-witness.
The grand sheik of the Senussi,
[Sayed Ahamed, was known to be at
the Siwah oasis, with his commander
in-chief, Mohamed Saleh, and the |
remnants of his army, 800 rifles
strong. The problem of supply made
it imperative that the journey of 400
miles out and back should be perform
ed in a week. It was exclusively ai
motor column.
The British force bivouaced the first
night 90 miles from the coast, and
went on next day to the summit of a
sharp ridge 15 miles from Siwah.
The Senussi were hidden on a series of |
low hills. Sequa pass, considered by
the Senussi the only possible road
from Siwah to the outer country, was j
mined ami the armored cars had to j
surmount a ridge to gain access to the
little valley facing the Senussi posi
tion. Every car safely negotiated the
rough-and-tumble pass, except those
in the supply service. The armored
cars led the way toward Girba, chief |
town of the oasis, and all but two of
them got into action within 500 yards j
of the Senussi position by 10 o’clock.
The cars had a hot reception. The
tops of the turrets had been removed
to save weight, ami the mohafzia, as '
the Senussi sharpshooters are called,
scampered from their places of secur- ,
ity behind rocks to the top of the Gir- !
ha limestone cliffs and poured down a !
; plunging fire in the hope of hitting the
machine-gunn*rs inside the cars. *
Leaving one car in the center to en
gage the enemy, the remainder moved !
to the right and left to enfilade the
position, and for half an hour the one
car in the center received the fire from
two ten-pounder mountain guns, two
machine guns, and 800 rifles.
Farther in the rear the patrols in
unarmored cars, with machine guns, j
came into action, and so sprinkled the
hill with bullets that the enemy dared
no longer show a head. At noon Se
nussi bugler sounded the charge and .
many of the enemy rose to advance,
but the automobile machine gunners'
did such execution that they quick- j
ly dropped back to cover.
because the embassy got all the food
it required from the English army
supply depots and the shipments were
allowed to enter without interference
by the Germans. Of course everything
is issued on tickets now. Even clothes
are issued on tickets.”
“Are they wearing plainer clothes
now?”
“Plainer! No indeed,” Miss Leh
man replied with emphasis. “They
are more fashionable than ever. Of
course leather is very scarce and ter- I
ribly high now, but the women are i
using it on everything. They are even
trimming their hats and dresses with
it and wearing boots that reach al
most to their knees. High shoes cost
from $20 to $25 a pair in American
money.”
"Then the women of Germany
have the same instincts as American
women for high-priced things?”
“Most decidedly, and ov^y thing
used to be so cheap in Germany before
the war. Just think, one egg cost* 20
cents there now. American people
ought not to complain about the high
cost of living.”
Concluding her interesting inter
view, Miss Lehman said: “Every one
felt the shortage of coal this winter.
We had a very severe winter in Ber
lin and many nights we sat in our
rooms with our coats and furs on,
but taking it all in all we had little
trouble. We were shown every cour
tesy. The people of Germany are not
complaining, and all of them flunk
they are going to win the war.”
