held gorgeous display of histori =
cal relics of ancient, modival and
modern warfare. In their opinion
Germany is rapidly returning to n
normal condition and there is evil
dence on everyhand and the popu-
lation there is quite prosperous
Prices are quite low in Germany
and good meals can be purchased
for tw enty- FIVE cents. The recon
struction period in Germany is be-
ing attended with great success
and will soon wipe out what little
marks there are left in Germany
of the great war.
