NOT USED TO SELF GOV
ERNMENT, HE DECLARES.
iMr. and Mrs. August Rex arrived
In the city Sunday morning after a
10 months' visit in Germany. They
left The Dalles July 21 of last year
to visit Mr. Rex's old home In Gel
many. They report good weather
for the voyage each way.
The voyage from New York City
to Hamburg required 12 days. In
Hamburg they were met by Mr.
Rex's brother and the journey wai
resumed the next day by train
through Berlin and on to Elbing,
the home town, which Is located In
East iFrussia.
IMrs. Hex, who was a Wasco coun
ty girl, had never seen Germany:
Mr. Rex had been away 10 years.
Of tho trip he said "The country
looked natural. My father was dead
when I left but my mother is still
.ivlng, and I havo a brother ami
.hree sisters there. Many of the
people knew me, but I did not recog
lize them. The peple there are ham
tiered by the lack of law enforce
ment. Speculators lake advantage of
this condition to ship food stuffs
mt of the country. If they are
caught they can well afford to pay
their fine and do the same thing
over again.
"They are unaccustomed to self
ule and do not exert their own pow
ers of initiative. Many of them tiro
easily influenced by the socialists
md anarchists.
"Bread, sugar jhnd butter are ap
portioned among the people by the
government. People who have mon
iy can get more of tho apportlonoJ
iua.ntlty by paying tho farmer!! a
big price. Many of them have small
mills with wind powor for grinding
heir grain and making their own
flour.
"Coal is scarce. A dried turl Is
used as a substitute. It is cut in
squares and has the appearance of
lried dirt, and make3 n steady hear
It Is cut from the swampy districts,
molded and cut Into regular shapes
md dried.
"The. woods ore all forest rese.ryes
Kith no underbrush and with neat

"The city of Elbing la situated on
ho Elbing river. A levee is being
milt to deepen the channel that ".he
.eagolng vessels may come to El
bing. Factories give employment to
nany of the people. The country
iboul the city is given to ngricul
ural pursuits. It Is verdant through

"The German people as a rule do
aot feel any animosity toward the
Vmerlcans," .Rex said.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lemke met Mr.
ind 'Mrs. Rex in Berlin and they
lad a pleasant ' visit together. The
Lemkes, Rex said, are anxious to
