AT THE HOTELS.


Association OF State Universities ana Ex-
perimental Stations upon the invitation OF
its president, is at the Shoreham. Mr..
Kaumanns has been resident Of this
country for five years and has male
American agriculture a special study.
and he IS regarded by many agricultural
authorities as one OF the greatest experts
In his line.
A number OF delegates were last night
in the lobby of the shoreham, discussing
the question of meat and meat supply
and they asked Mr. Kaumanns about
the German meat question. Mr. Kau-
MAINS said: THE favorable position OF
Germany with regard 10 the meat supply
for It's inhabitants, IN spite OF the rapid
increase In population and the high prices
for meats is shown by the fact that the
cons umption per capita is los pounds OF
this. all except per cent is raised n
home With the rapid increase In cattle
breeding Germany viii soon be abe 70
satisfy the demand OF the home market
I'm Germany" continued Herr Kau-
MAINS. I'VE do not believe It Is neces-
sary TO consume as much meat as the
American people do We are OF the opin-
ion that the use OF much meat IS more
or less harmful for theoretical and prac-
teal people Nevertheless we are IN third
place to-day, as meat consumers. and IN
z few years Will pass into second place,
which is now held by England
We in Germany credit much ~ the IN
crease I'm our cattle industry 10 the SPLEEN
did laws against the spreading Of ali dis
eases and epidemics that domestic ami
mails are heir to- We endeav0r III prevent
diseases, rather than wait untib Il exists
and then fight it. Statistics show that tho
production Of bread and food stuhs in Ger
many has kept up with the Increase in
population. Even tho imports. with the
exception OF the years when there was
a failure OF crops show that Germanys
dependence on foreign countries has by
no means increased. Judging from our
progress IN the past years, We believe We
Will become more and more Independent
| OF foreign grain in the near future by
raising all Of our rye oats and barley.
| The diminishing importation of corn
proves clearly our progress In raising
/ food stuffs. Your American farmers seem
/ 10 have learned that the farmers assO-
Citations have been and still are OF great
value TO Germany. You are gradually
Strengthening and enlargiHg your socie-
/ ties. but you are just beginning. for to-
day the middle man receives too large
a share of your rightfui profit"
/ Herr Humans said that the Ameri-
can meat supply does not keep abreast
with the growing population. which ac-
counted partially for the high cost Of
living.

American architecture IS more or less
an imitation Of French and other Styles
said Albert Eitei. an architect. OF Stuff
garti Germany. who Is making 4 study
tour Of the United States. and Is at the
New Willard
i must admit that I have seen some
very attractive buildings in Chicago and
other places, said Mr.. Eitel but as a
general rule the American architect is 10
certain extent eoByist, and not an
originator. OF exterior STYLES. There IS
nothing modern about your American
buildings, as may be found with German
architecture. OF course. this IS my per-
sonal view, and only applIes 10 the ex-
terror appearance Of buildings.
The interior arrangements OF your
buildings continued Herr EiteI, lis far
superior to our style. Everything in
American buildings is so practical and
artistic effect is not az all neglected We
can learn many things from your Ameri-
can arehitects, so Tar as the interior
construction OF buildings is concerned.
Another wonderful thing In American
building Is the busineszIike and rapid way
in which buildings ars erected America
Is Tar anead or Europe In this respect,
and in many others.
. Skyscrapers are not the rule in Ger
many, and tnerefofei iron skeletons for
buildings are not in use. The building
regulations permit only a certain height
, in buildings, which is much below the
American standard.
