As tar as I was able to ascer
tain, Germany is the best off of
any European country that took
part In the World War," Dr. Fred
H. Thompson told members of the
Kiwanls club at the noon lunch
eon Tuesday," Thompson returned
recently from an extensive tour of
Europe in company with 725 Am
crican physicians on a tour of
foreign clinics. '
"I used as a- standard of com
parison between.'the countries the
way the people were dressed, their
apparent ' state of nourishment,
the condition of their homes, the
7 appearance of the stores and the
kind of automobiles. To all ap
pearances the Germans were the
best off. They are all working,
tbey are practically all well dress
ed, and I did not see a single beg
gar in Germany. You ; see the
same fat, contented Germans that
there were before the war."
Austria and Hungary hare suf
fered most by the : war. Dr.
Thompson declared. Germany is
the only country of central Eu
rope, he said, where large automo
biles were prominently evident.
; At Dresden and . Llepsig, he re
counted, he saw large bodies of
young men marching through the
public sflruares in the early morn
ing drilling. A few women were
among the marchers, lie was told
that they i were members of the
"athleticl clubs who were drilling
for th,e exercises.'.'.. V-i -1 ( .
"All I have to say is that they
have immense athletic' clubs
there, and you may draw '. your
own conclusions," Dr. Thompson
declared. .
Describing the poverty in Aus
tria he told of meeting a doctor
who was unable to buy rubber
gloves for use. in the operating
room and 'was forced to substitute
a linen twine fer cat gut in sewing
incisions. - ,: '" "' - '.;.;''''.;
During his trio In Ireland he
visited Belfast where he met Rus-
, sell Brooks, . formerly of Salem,
and now United States consul.
! Brooks, he reports, is well liked in
Belfast, has a large acquaintance
there, and is able to obtain "about
everything he wants." During his
visit-the linen ' mills at 'Belfast
were closed and he was unable to
. make a desired tonr through
! them.

This industry will go a long way

the "richest" country in the! world.
It will bring in a 'hundred million

One of the problems pending is
whether the agriculture confer
ence should be reconvened to com
plete its survey of the farm prob
lem. Mr. Coolidge is or ne opin
ion It should be given opportunity
to draft final regulations to cases
but is awaiting the advice of Sec
retary Jardine.
Another question that Is giving
the president some concern, it was
indicated today at White Court is
the growing necessity for public
buildings in Washington and else
where.! Mr. Coolidge fears there
will be a, formidable opposition on
the part of congress to any meas
ure that does not specifically state
where buildings are to be con
structed. He expects to go over
this situation with Secretary Mel
lon. Postmaster General New and
congressional leaders.
