On be- half of the city he extended to Informally a hearty i Dr. Schenck said he had spent many years of his life In the United States and he. lovedihc demo-, cracles of that country and Can? ada. When he returned to Germany after the war he preached democracy In the country and he was glad to find his own village of 1500 voters cast a two-thirds vote for democracy. Again there was a vote and the majority disappeared, the village voting fifty percent for Hitler. A little later when another vote was taken the whole village, except himself, voted for Hitler. His was the only vote for demo cracy. That was about three years ago. Today he had changed his mind. Under Hitler he found the country united, speaking with one voice. All the petty kingdoms and principalities had disappeared in united Germany. Today Dr. Schenck said he felt himself about ninety-seven percent for Hitler. Dr. Schenck spoke feelingly of the love the British people bore to their king and British Institutions: Tills feeling he declared was shared by the people of Germany who greatly admired the late king and the present British ruler.
