The French have nothing but bitter hate for the Germans, and the Germans are equally as bitter against the French, according to Dr. Emmanuel Breeze, of Denison university, Granville, who addressed Kiwanians at their meeting at the Stage Coach tavern today. This statement was made while Dr. Breeze was describing his recent travels in Europe. On his tour he visited France and her battlefield areas, some of which have not been touched since the war.

Reims, the French city which received the most damage in the late war, is only half rebuilt, Breeze said, and thousands of Italians and Spaniards have been imported to help with the reclamation. Paris, "where every other business place is a wine garden," according to Breeze, provided the only sound argument he has ever heard against prohibition in America, he said. Parisians tell that America, without prohibition, would keep in this country much money which is now spent in Paris for liquors, Breeze asserted. Dr. Breeze described London and the Shakespeare, country of England, by saying that "all is not well here, but compared with what I saw in Europe, America is a minature paradise." Charles M.
