MRS. MUNROE DOES
NOT EXPECT WAR
Mr. and Mri. William Munroe, who re
turned last week from a tour of several
months in Continental Europe, Bay
they failed to find the much talked evi
dencea of snnther early war.
"The neonle are all still too dazed,
especially in the countries, where they
bore th oratest hardships." says
Mrs. Munroe. "to allow themselves to
be driven into further conflict.
"We happened to be in Cologne July
4, and 1 was mucn interested in a uem
onstration there. Ihe populace was
en route to hear some lectures and
statue of the kaiser was located on the
way. They attacked it and a foot was
torn off and a swora wrestea irom me
war lord before English soldiers polic
ing the city, could stop the riot. In
Strassburg the people beheaded every
statue of Wilhelm. I round tne reel
ing of the German people generally
strong atrainst the war party.
"Germany, in my mind, is going to
put through her worst winter this
year. Although the harvests were
abundant, the low exchange rate of
the mark and the resultant greater
purchasing power of countries, where
money rates are higher, has taken a
larger portion of the food stuffs from
the country. A iooa control was an
nounced as we were leaving.
"We seemed to spend money lavish
ly while in Germany, and yet our pur
chases took mighty little from our
pocketbooks, because of the low rate
of the mark. The government, just
before we left, put a stop to the pur
chase by foreigners of certain food
products and clothing. I had difficulty
in buying for myself a little sweater
and woolen stockings, to keep me
warm on the trip home."
Mr. and Mrs. Munroe declare their
journey to Oberammergau the pleas
antest feature of their journey. They
stated that 80 per cent of the audience
witnessing "The passion Flay" were
Americans. Mrs. Munroe says the
little mounainous village made her
think of Hood River more than any
other place she saw anroad.
Mr. and Mrs. Munroe saw the land
devastated by the war in the vicinity
or Verdun, the trench and barbed
wire area, they say, still remains tod
horrible for imagination. At one place
in the trenches, Mrs. Munroe says she
saw where 30 American soldiers were
Dunea as they were ready to go over
the top on a raid. The points of their
bayonets still stick above the earth.
Comrades have erected a huge memor
ial over the tragic scene.
