LAW-ABIDING ENGLAND.
CONTRAST TO AMERICA. CONDITIONS IN GERMANY. " I have come back with greatly increased respect for England and English institutions," said Mr. Wyndham P. Hopkins, of Hamilton, who has returned to Auckland after an extended trip abroad, "lie crime and corruption in the United States leaves a very deep impression upon Ihose familiar with the orderliness of British communities." Mr. Hopkins was in Germany for some months and he was struck by tihe absence of unemployment and the seeming prosperity of the people, who for the most part were well-dressed and appeared to be well nourished. The Germans he found were well disposed toward the British, and although he mixed freely with the, people he had no unpleasant experiences. Whether this was a matter of policy with the Germans he could not say. 1 It was noticeable, however, that while the German police on duty were most punctilious in saluting British officers the German and French military completely ignored each other.
