For instance, he says, America has
furnished the kricken nation about
line million dollars in supplies while
Il il has sold $1O1. 000. 900 worth for the
Relgians 10 England and France. For
every person in the United States
about $50 each has been received and
about 80 cents given back. .
I He said he had little idea whether
the United States would be drawn into
the struggle. but declared il would be
an immense help to the Allies If this
comes. The United States could then
help with an unrestricted rush OF mu-
nitions as Japan has been doing The
moral support would be welcome, too.
English Don't Love Us" s
. The whole feeling in the French
war zone was aptly expressed by DR..
Judd when he said: The English
don't love us They think the Amer
leans are spineless. The French ad
nire the Americans and appreciate
their help; the Germans hate US
( As many have said already. DR. Judd
declares the French are real heroes
and perhaps the hardest fighters of
the war, and among the most humane,
too. For instance, il German wounded
are found on the field, they are given
the first aid The French patience
and endurance are unbelievable, he
says. T. ~..f~..
DR.. Judd considers his experience
in Europe, from an educational stand
point, invaluable. when one sees
men shot to pieces and then patched
up again, he is bound to learn some
thing new" he comments If spark

for the United States in the Reyolu-
tionary war, and the voluntary, in
dividual work of the United States is
scarcely drop in the bucket to the
whole big scheme. it is still well worth
while and appreciated.
To a unestion of what America is
really doing, he replied:
There are $4,000 Americans fight
ing with the Canadians in the trench
es, 300 driving ambulances in France
and so in the flying corps. The latter
is most dangerous of all and has seen
many violent deaths"
The doctor has heard with interest
OF the forward lunge of the Allies and
the simultaneous German retreat and
attributes nothing less than material
victory to the movement.
They may say that Germany is
voluntarily withdrawing her troops,
but such move is seldom started by
a victorious army" he says
Great Excitement in New York
The travellers arrived in New York
last October and left there this month
for Honolulu. There was great excite
ment over possible war with Germany
in New Yorkeandethe Stars and Stripes
floated periodically from nearly every
store and residence but such signs
disappeared as they came west and
on the Pacific Coast there was much
less demonstration.
Will Not Predict When War Ends
The doctor has no idea when the
war. may end. He does not intend TO
go back, declaring that he believes his
share has been done. He will pick up
his work here where he left off,
What is left OF It." he says and is
mighty glad to get back. He will re-
sumo practise with the firm of Judd,
Hedemann and Kilbourne.

Dr. Judd not only has acquired a
baby but also a martial, French mus
tache and says he has forgotten most
of his Hawaiian for a pretty good
knowledge of French.
