I)r. A B. Applebee who has recently returned from a trip lo Europe entertained the members of the Jacksonville Kiwanis club at their luncheon yesterday by relating in a very interesting wny Impressions gained by him relative to the people of France and their customs and numerous happenings he had experienced during his tour. Hr. Applebee acted as director of the Methodist Memorial at Chautoau Thierry several weeks during this summer.

In a very humorous manner he told of his ocean voyaee from the United States to France. He said it was fortunate that a French had been chosen for the trip as It gave the passengers for France a chance to become accustomed to French ways by gradual degrees. Dr. Applebee stated that as acting director of the Memorial he had opportunity to come in contact with the business and professional life in the city in such a manner as the casual tourist is not able to do. The French people very reserved in their manners and very reticent about taking up with foreigners.

However the Department of which corresponds to our states, has much to be thankful to American for, and the residents are therefore very sympathetic and anxious to show a ness to those who are desirous of becoming frienda with them. Many Americans who visit Paris ani perhaps make a flying trip thru the battlefields of France often receive imnresslons of French ways and customs that are biased and in many instances, wrongly formed thru some unpleasant circumstances which unfortunately gave them a misconception of the real French people. Making out cheeks in France is a different matter from writing out checks in the Unite! States. Checks are used very little in the rural communities and as a majority of the business firms are made up of small shoe-keepers, they do all their business on a very small capital and purchase from day to paying cash or notes for their merchandise. Thirty minutes consumed in cashing a check and sometimes it passes thru ten different hands before money is obtained upon it.

To discourage the sale of estate in Franee, a tax is imposed upon a new purchaser, for each person who has ever owned the property In the past and since they are usually dead and cannot pay it for themselves, it Is as tho their hands are reaching from the grave and demanding that the new owner pay it for them, and it is named Man's When a working man builds a little home, he must not only consider the first cost but the tax that be paid by succeeding generations, and for this reason. he puts in just as few win- dows as possible since tax- I ed in accordance with the size and number that he has.

In ihe last century Chateau-Thierry has four times been Invaded, the citizens driven from their homes, their property confiscated, their buildings destroyed and their families broken up. and yet there are men in America who would vote to loan ten millions dollars to aid a nation that claims to have starving women and children, and at the same time drilling her boys from the lower grades of tho schools, up thru the universities in the science of warfare. It is easy to mention newspaper editorials from almost all sections of Germany with very outspoken allusions to the eventual retaking of Strasbourg.
