"A-Trip-to-Germany: Impressions"
was Prof. J. A. C. Hildner's theme in
his address delivered in the Natural
Science auditorium yesterday after-
noon. Professor Hildner, who visited
Germany the early part of this year
talked about the general conditions of
economics, drama and university life
as they impressed him.
Professor Hildner said that the
German student can live on $45 per
month if necessary but the American
student will find expenses as high as
he finds them in Ann Arbor and then
he will not have the conveniences he
is accustomed to. Eighty-nine Ameri-
can students were at the German uni-
versities in 1925, out of a total en-
rollment of 3760 foreign students. He
also added that if the American stu-
dent has a sufficient knowledge of
German to understand the lectures he
may easily enter the German univer-
sities.
Professor Hildner was very much
attracted by the plays he attended
while in Germany. Shakespeare is
very popular there as well as modern
writers which included Bernard Shaw,
John Galsworthy and our owl Ameri-
can playwright Eugene O'Neiil. The
opera is still popular in Germany, he
explained, evidently they are still as

NEW YORK.-In a dispatch to thej
New York World from Paris Gen.
Lincoln C. Andrews, prohibition en-
forcement chief, is quoted as saying,
"Ah, before Prohibition I used to
drink wine-and' I'liked it." When
asked what wines he preferred now he
replied stoically,
"Oh, but now I drink nothing but
water," and added, "Remember my
duties at home-the repression of
bootlegging. Force of example, you
know.'
Observing that some French report-
ers appeared to mistake him for
Pussyfoot Johnson, General Andrews
continued, "No, no, it wasn't I who
took the initiative in Prohibition. In
the name of heaven, don't make a mis-
take. Johnsn is the man who did it.

(By Associated Press?
CHICAGO, August 4.-Defiance was
flung at the Senate campaign funds
i committee today by Samuel Insull,
multi-millionaire public utilities exe-
cutive of Chicago, and Robert E
Crowe, state attorney for Cook county.
Both repeatedly refused to answer
a certain question concerning cam-
paign contributions in the recent Illi-
nois primaries. After making the rec-
ord, Senator Reed, Democrat of Miss-
ouri, chairman, told Insull that his
case would be reported to the Senate.
Crowe was told th'at the committee
!would take his case under advisement.
"I am unable to understand how a
public official would refuse to tell
where he got money for a political
campaign," the Missourian said "We
will let you know later what we will
do about it."
Ira C. Copley, newspaper publisher
of Aurora, Illinois, testified that he
had disposed of a public utility last
January and that he made his contri-
butions totaling $25,000 to the suc-
cessful Senatorial campaign of Frank
;L. Smith, chairman of the state com-
merce commission, after the commis-
sion had approved rate increases for
his companies last November 11.
Judge Edmund K. Jarecki of the
Cook county court told of the use of
gunmen during the primary and said
a recount of votes in the Republican
senatorial contest in two wards
showed such discrepancies as to in-
dicate prearranged fraud.
Frank L. Smith, filed with the com-
mittee a long statement denying he
had obligated himself to any person
on account of assistance given to him
during the campaign.
Chairman Reed and Mr. Insull had
a long good humored sparring match
The exchanges between the fiery Mis-
sourian and the state's attorney were
less jovial. Senator Reed plainly
showed his displeasure as Crowe
steadfastly refused to say whether In-
sull had given him any part of tie
money which he insisted had gone di-
reetly to the support of Smith. The
committee had information that Insull
had given an additional $10,000 to
Crowe himself, but neither the public
utilities magnate nor the Mtate attor-
ney would admit it, each refusing the
question. Before leaving the stand,
Insull made a speech against the
wort court and entangling alliances,
disclosing that he was a naturalized
citizen, having been born in England,
and contended that since he had
bought $650,000,000 worth of property
in Illinois, he ought to have some
voice in affairs.
