Schmidt, rep-, resentative of the German Red Cross, who accompanied the Awer- icans, was always at hand to explain matters. “Germans don't understasid them,’ he said today. “They are awfully decent fell S, and polite in their Way, too. “Every man in a_ party riding on a street car last night got up and promptly gave women their seats. The Germans on board kept their seats. The trouble was merely a matter of viewpoint.” Stories of the tremendous size of farms in the Mississippi valley were told by Herr Schmidt by the visitors, who could not refrain from narrating some anecdotes that would sound quite venerable in America. They told him about the man whose farm was so large that he began planting corn at one end of a field in the spring and found before he reached the other end that the corn harvest had begun: Herr Schmidt retaliated by promising to show them the field of Templhof, near Berlin, “where People equipped with spoons go out in the. morning to fill their buckets with maple syrup.” “The only. unpleasant incident , ac- curred at Bochurm;where the Amer- icuins were criticlzed for speaking Ei + eae ‘Why don't .you speak German?” a man ask them. “You are in Ger- many and not America.” “We speak what we want to,” came the quick rejoinder from a Kansan, and the subject was abruptly dropped. The Americans, after given their first sight of Germany, declared they liked the country, but Peter Andres of Elbing, Kans., summed up the sen- timents of the party by saying: “There is too much misery here. There are too many rich and too many poor. But then, it seems the people must be one or the other. Kan- sds sults me.” Several of the Americans said: “We have had plenty to eat, and have been banqueted everywhere, but everywhere we have seen hungry children’ and tubercular adults who need milk.” “If I had a hundred cows,” con- tinued one of them, “I would give them all to Germany tomorrow.” BAN PLACED ON DENVER BOXING DENVER, Colo., Feb. 24.—-Philip Van Cise, newly-elected district at- torney of Denver, sounded the death knell of professional boxing today when he announced he would cause the arrest of any fighter en- gaging in a bout in Denver for pay. ‘an Cise said he had reached his decision. after a conference with Commissioner of Safety Downer.
