QUEER FEELING OF RELIEF (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 25. Swedes who arrived in Stockholm
from Berlin on .Saturday, quoted by *. the Daily Mail’s Stockholm correspondent, said that the Allied crossing of the Rhine had produced a queer feeling of lelief among the people of Berlin who do not fear the Allied entry into Berlin so much as further 'record air raids. They added that the people of Berlin are betting whether the Russians, the British, or the Americans ■will reach Berlin first. Berlin is. in a state of greater tension than at any time since the Allied forces crossed the Channel, says the British United Press’s Stockholm correspondent, quoting Morgen Tidningen’s correspondent in Berlin. Kesselring, who is openly referred to as the new commander-in-chief on the West Front. “ is undergoing a baptism .of fire which' is probably the hottest any German war lord has ever experienced.” Thb< reports reaching Berlin from the Rhine so far are fragmentary,. but the scope 7 - arid'determination of the Allied drive are obvibusly impressing the Germans.
