LONG WAR EXPECTED
NEW BERLIN REFUGEES BEER AND MEAT SHORT (Reed. May 31, 10 a.m.) ZURICH, May 30. The Berlin correspondent of the Neue Zuericher says that Berliners have no illusions about the future Royal Air Force attacks. Permanent masonry and steel shelters are replacing sandbag shelters. Berlin’s pavements are cluttered with debris shovelled from cellars, where holes have been excavated from walls to ensure that those in shelters escape if they are trapped. Berliners have now made up their minds that it will be a long war. The Hess affair has caused more farreaching reactions than the German victories. The shortage of beer in Germany since Easter was at first attributed to the free supply to the Iroops to celebrate Herr Hitler’s birthday. Now it is known it was due to a shortage of bottles and railway transport. The meat ration was again cut recently. A cold spring has also resulted in a shortage of vegetables. Only bread and potatoes are plentiful.
