On the way over, a trip ‘of about two weeks on one of the slower boats, he delivered several lectures and re- peated his lectures on the way back. He described life aboard ship and told several interesting anecdotes. The party travelled through Nor- way, Sweden, Denmark and northern Germany. The dialects of all these countries are familiar to Mr, Benson. He safd that conditions are much im proved and that money is at par in Norway, Sweden and Denmark but is still sinking in Germany, the mark going lower each day. He also said that the efficiency no- | ticed by him in Germany when he visted that country in former years was lacking when he was there this summer. . The professional class has been much reduced and some of them are barely living from day to day. Mr. Benson gave descriptions of the countries and their people, say- ing that' the association that sends the parties to Europe each summer is for international friendship and against international antagonism. Following the much lecture musical selections were ren- dered by Oscar Benson and Frank Kramer, Jr. In spite of the weather the room was crowded. Canvassers Are Announced.

Dorbruk, it is alleged, with four or five friends fron New Britain, made thémselves conspicuous all evening at the dance by their loud and hoister- {ous talk. Nobody in the hall paid | much attention to them and soon the party went outside of the building. A couple of local young men had preceded them by a few minutes, and had placed a bottle of soda water in the snow to make it cold.

The policeman darted out the door and questioned those implicated. According to onlookers, Dorbruk was the one who thréw the bottle, and Officer Hogan placed him under ar- !rest. The other Members of the New Britain party gathered around the policeman in .a threatening manner, but when one started in to aid Dor- bruk, Officer Hogan pushed him through the door.
