3174. There was quite a large peace demonstration or socialist demonstration on Unter den Linden night before last. Nothing in newspapers here about it. I asked some of crowd what they were demonstrating for and they said they were tired of a silly war and days without meat. All night mounted police were in front of Embassy; do not know whether in expectation of demonstration here or at Chancellor’s palace opposite side square.
