SEW "'S So FdSkdHcS IN0Fp&nSre children of the upper classes, who are taught that another war is com ing, The thought of war is appalling to two.tnirds Of the German popula- tion
 There is no feeling in Germany against the United States, asserted the speaker. There Is feeling against the French because they feel that country has not treated them right.
 Germans Like British.
 The occupied area furnished an interestingspart of the bishops talk. He went to Cologne, and everywhere was a scene of peace. There was no sign of occupation, When they en- tered the town the party paid their way in German money, there were German police everywhere and to all appearances the town was the same as 1t had always been. This area was occupied by the British and they were billeted everywhere. The British officers were non-existant as far as visibility was concerned. The British were well liked in Cologne.
 Going to the French area a differ ent situation was met Here every thing was French. money, officials and even the French flag was flying from every citadel, where in Cologne the German flag had been always on the skyline.
 The Germans in the French area feel that France is rubbing it in," said the speaker. They do not like colored troops, and the French have on duty Sengalese, who, to all ap- pearances are colored. It was ex- pIalned to the bishop that these men were as pure blooded as the French and were all gentlemen. v
 The speaker then passed over his trip through France saying that the war area is all being reclaimed. He said that Rheims Cathedral will probably be as beautiful as 1t ever was Genius cannot die" he said and expressed the opinion that France has workmen as competent at the present time as those who built the huge structure.
 Impressive Services
 While France has her beautiful cathedrals and churches Germany has the i'm pressive church services. He said that he had attended masses in both France and Germany and the contrast was striking. The Ger mans love for music was every where shown in the services. How ever he said, the Germans cannot build beautiful churches. They are homely with the exception of the Cologne cathedral.
 Arriving in England the Wembley exposition attracted his attention, he said, and he spent considerable time there He seemed to thinkythat the Australian exhibit, with it's huge panorama of the industries of that country. was the most attractive.
 Conditions in England
 His general opinion of conditions in England was that the people gen. erally were satisfied and working. There were 500,000 unemployed and this number is going down all the time, he said. There Is not much drinking. since the government re- strictons are such that little time is permitted the purchase of liquors. The people do not seem to care for excessive indulgence in liquors.
 He told of one incident which oc- cured while he and his party were going through the Tower of London Just ahead Of them were three lit- tie boys. They were well behaved little chaps and manifested great in. terest when they learned that the speaker and his companions were from the United States.
 In the Tower of London
 As they approached the exhibit ot the crown jewels, the three boys were approached by one of the Beef Eaters" as the guardians al the tower are called. He said in 2 gruff voice, How did you get ir here?" the boys replied that they had been given tickets by a gentle man, and produced them. Well tickets or no tickets, you're going tt get boot out of here" snapped th' officer of >the law,
 Here the bishop interposed. H. was dressed as An ordinary citizer and there was nothing about hi dress to indicate his office in thu church, he said. He told the mar that the boys had tickets and I was only fair that they be allowed to remain.
 The mans reply to this was, "Yo, shut up"
 He then turned to the boys an, told them that they were to b' thrown out. Here the bishop spokl to him again and he. was tolc tha i if he didn't keep quiet h. wUTlId b, taken before the constable of tn, Tower.
 ]. The bishop said that he would gladly go and the fellow went hi way. The bishop, accompanied b, two former army officer, who hat witnessed the argument, and wh, had taken a n interest in the weIrar,
