VipTifi t ptC p AV (delegation immensely and our Am A,1UIU .IVlo U.11, lorican convention badee was an GIRL TELLS TRIP "pen Sesame" to anything we waniea. In Berlin we saw the famous Kai ser's palace which is now a muse um, and the Brandenburg Uate through whose middle arch no one was allowed to go but the Kaiser. Now anyone may walk through it We walked down Berlin's loveliest street, Unter den Linden. Berlin is the world's third largest city but traffic moves at such a leisurely pace and the streets are so wide that one can hardly realize that it is such a large city. Another thing of interest is that there are no slum buildings in Berlin. Passing through the overcrowded portions of Berlin which we would term Slums," the buildings are as well kept as elsewhere and everything is clean. From Berlin we went to Brussels where we saw the king's palace, the old guild halls and the palace of the (Continued from First Page.) Bavaria and the chief art center of Germany. Munich was established by monks one thousand years ago. One of the most famous medical schools in the world is at Munich. The university there has 9000 stu dents, ten per cent of whom are girls. In every large city, whether of friend or foe, we placed a wreath on the Unknown Soldier's grave This was a part of our "Friendship Tour." The Germans could hardly understand our doing this but they liked it Munich has a war mem orial where are engraved 13,000 names of war dead. Our delegation was significant in that it was the largest American delegation to Germany since the war. We ex pected to And at least some bitter- crown Prince Leopold and Princess ness but found nothing but kind- Astrid. Brussels is a very interest- ness and a very real courtesy dur- ing cjty and I wished that I might mg all our trip tnrougn uermany. have stayed there longer. Munich also has one of the most And on to Paris. Paris becomes famous museums in the world. reaiy gay after 10 o'clock at night Here we saw a whole submarine, The outdoor cafes line the side- fully equipped coal and iron mines. There were no "hands off" signs and one could press an electric button and watch all sorts of machinery work. The Mozart festivals were being held in Munich and one evening we went to a Mozart serenade given in the palace of the former king of Bavaria. From Munich we travelled to Oberammergau, little town of Pas sion play fame, and from there to . Augsburg where we were welcomed by a great host of Christian En deavorers and taken to the town hall where the mayor bade us wel come. In this town hall is the Gol den room said to be the most beau tiful of its kind in the world. Here, walks and there the people drink and smoke and watch the rest pass by. The later the hour, the gayer they are. I don't know when they go to bed. We saw the historic church or Monte Marte, Palace of the Legion of Honor, the Louvre, French acad emy of arts, French mints, Notre Dame cathedral, Napoleon s tomb, and took a ride along the Seine river. At the Arch de Triomphe the delegation placed a wreath on the Unknown Soldier's grave of France. There is a smaller replica of the Statue of Liberty in Paris. When I saw it, homesickness swept over me. Outside of Paris some miles is the Mai Maison or private palace of too, we saw the famous theses of Napoleon which he bought for his Martin Luther which he nailed to I wife Josephine. This is now used the church doors at Wittenburg. as a museum for Napoleon's relics. There are many beautiful old bibles contrary to the general opinion, Na- here, printed by hand by monks and poleon was a man of very simple done so wonderfully that one can hardly realize it is handwriting. Nuremburg is called "one of the quaintest old towns of Germany." I shall always remember Nuremburg because it was here that we had a most laughable experience. We never seemed to get enough water on our trip and when sat down to our meals we immediately began to call for water, which the waiters were reluctant to give us, prefering to serve us wine and beer instead. But we wanted water and finally it came in glasses that held about two swallows. Each of us had our glass refilled about four times. The next morning we were served water in very tall glasses which we thought I were some kind of beer glasses. Im agine our amazement when just be fore we left the hotel we found that I we had been served water in the hotel's flower vases! At Eisenach we saw the Wart- burg, a castle where Luther was imprisoned for eleven months and where he translated the New Test ament from the Greek. Eisenach I is another beautiful town and here we stayed at a hotel which was a I cross between a Russian mosque and a castle. From Eisenach on to Berlin where we were met by a big dele gation of Christian Endeavorers and many newspaper reporters from Berlin s leading newspapers. Our convention there of between 14,000 and 16,000 young people from all over the world representing 42 nations and more than 80 different denominations, made considerable stir in Germany. We received mes- sages from President Hoover, Pres- I ident Doumergue of France and President Von Hindenburg. The Berlin newspapers classed this con vention with not only importance as a great religious gathering but one of considerable political and diplomatic importance as well. Some of the world's greatest speakers were on the platform. The music was wonderful, such as I have never heard before and proba bly never will hear again. Mingling with the young people of many na tions we learned more sympathy and understanding for them than i through a lifetime of reading books. The Germans liked the American tastes and his coronation crown has only cameos set in gold instead of precious gems. There is a tent room in this palace as the bedroom of Josephine's because she wished to have a place to sleep as nearly like Napoleon's as possible when he was away on his campaigns. We saw Napoleon's swords, clothing, pictures, dishes and even his bath tub and camp cot! Then the Palace of Versailles, gorgeous production of Louis IV's reign. Marie Antoinette was mar ried here. The Hall of Minors is a wonderful sight The King's bed room was the principal room of the palace and exactly in the middle of the whole palace. The Toullenes gardens surrounding the palace are beautiful beyond description with great fountains and acres of green lawns and lovely trees whose branches arch over the road like a cathedral. Paris would not be properly vis ited without a trip to the Louvre. This immense and beautiful build ing would take a month to visit carefully, so I will only mention a few of the most beautiful and orig inal paintings that we saw. The Anglers, The Gleaners, Whistler's Mother, the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper by De Vinci who took twen ty years to paint the head of Christ in the picture, The Crowning of Josephine and Titan's Holy Family. We also saw the Venus de Muo and in another part relics of the Assyr ian civilization and war chariots that they used 2000 B. C. One whole day was taken with a 200 mile bus trip through the bat tlefields of the late war. We took the road that the "Taxi Cab" army of Paris took to the front Along this road passed 1100 taxis carrying five soldiers each to the front in September, 1914. Then over the bridge that spans the famous Marne river on the spot where the Marne was said to have "run red with blood," and on to Belleau Wood. One can still see some of the holes and stumps of trees ani the barbed wire. In Belleau Wood is the Amer ican cemetery. I was proud of the United States when I saw this beau tiful place which they have purch ased as a last resting place for the 2268 American boys buried there. While we were there a bus load of Gold Star mothers came and I have never seen a more heart-breaking sight than the mothers sitting on chairs on the green grass beside the marble crosses which marked the graves of their dead. The Ameri can government is doing everything to make this place a beautiful mem orial to the boys buried there. All along the road we passed cem eteries the French graves marked with white wooden crosses, the Ger man with black wooden crosses, and the Italian with white stone crosses. There are parts of old houses shat tered and many red roofs which were new on other houses along the road. We passed through Chateau Thi erry, through Dormans where the famous "Rock of the Marne" held and on through Rheims where we visited the famous cathedral. From Rheims to Hill 108 which we climb ed and looked down into the im mense crater. I picked French pop pies on the slope of the hill. On the road of Chemin des Dames we saw the dugout that was the headquar ters of Von Hindenburg. It was made of concrete about two feet thick and had rooms leading from it underneath the ground. Through Soissons which was bad ly damaged by the war but is now almost rebuilt The French have replanted much of their forests that were damaged by the war and except that the trees are small one would never suspect that anything but peace reigned there. At Compiegne we saw the rail road car in which the Armistice was signed. Through Senlis where the black Sengalese troops from Africa with their turbans and flowing robes are stationed. They were brought from Africa to fight in the war and are still in France. Past Le Bourget field where Lindbergh landed and on to Paris again. Paris would not be complete with out shopping and I must say that the shops are lovely and tempting. Finally we had to bid Paris good bye and started for Cherbourg where we took our steamer bound for Montreal. .MM fo th e Into acDDQoncOaD Into inan QDodi W HIGHBOY if vjPP A walnut brown cabinet with satin finish.
