Writing from Berlin on May 1, the 'Morning Post' correspondent said:—
It is not pleasant to arrive in Berlin at night. The uncertainty as to whether (promises or n0 promises) a, hotel will really have kept a room for you has a lowering effect on one's moral, znd one is not cheered—indeed, some nervous travellers might be positively alarmed—by the sight of the mob of tattered—undesirables, unclean vultures of the night, who swarm round the exit from the station, endeavour to lay hold of your luggage, and press their undesired services on the traveller. Despite the placarded advice to give your luggage to no porter not wearing a badge, only too many suit-cases, despatch-boxes, ete., go astray, ani the receivers of stolen property are having a great time, modity felt against France now far outweigh all the feeling against the rest of the Allies combined.
