Conditions in Germany resulting
from the war, the bankrupt condition
of the country, its industry and peo-
pie were interestingly described by
Dean John Nollen, Of Grinnell Col
lege. before the Rotary Club Tues
day afternoon. Pertinents among
Dean Nollen's statements was the
prediction that France, which lives
in hope of collecting a huge indem-
nifty from Germany. will never be
paid because Germany can not pay.
1t is bankrupt he said.
Three out of every five German
factories are closed, he said. and the
rest are operating only part time be-
ials. The country is without money
and without materials, The value
of the mark has dropped almost to
the vanishing point. The common
est of many of the most needed ar
tieles can not be had, including cloth
ing. The people, he said. present a
strange sieht, dressed in garments
and hats of styles in vogue years ago.
That the Rotary Club is strongly
republican was Indicated by straw
vote taken, which gave Harding Sc
