TOURIST TRAVEL
*THE HAGUE, June 1 (by Associat
ed Press).—The thousands of Ameri
can tourists, who are expected to
visit Europe this summer, will be
disappointed if they look forward to
all the comforts of the days before
the war.
This verdict has been expressed to
the Associated Press 'correspondent
by many much-harrassed Americans
who, in overcrowded trains between
stops at overcrowded hotels, have run
the gauntlet of passport bureaus,
frontier controls and police registra
tion offices, in 'slightly less degree
than during the war.
Passports, and passport visas, are
necessary everywhere. Even to make
the five-hour trip from The Hague,
Holland, to Brussels, Belgium, re
quires days of preparation, and the
days generally lengthen into weeks
if one expresses the most extraordin
ary whim to make a round trip, or
several round trips.
An American, for instance, having
obtained in the United States a Dutch
visa which permits him to land in
Holland for a brief stay, desires to go
to Brussels—just five hours away. On
arrival in Holland he has had to regis
ter with the police, securing an iden
tll-J VCU U, UlUllllg 111UJ LW 11U Y C c*
bread card, etc., (for bread is still
rationed in many countries).
Desiring to go to Belgium, he must
go to his own legation or consulate,
to have his American passport
amended so as to be valid in Bel
gium. This done, after a solemn oath
that it is necessary to go to Belgium,
the would-be-traveler visits the Bel
gian consulate or legation, finds a
long waiting line of persons with a
similar desire, finally is attended to,
and speeds off to the police bureau
to have his idenity card stamped in
order that he may leave the frontier.
But he must surrender his bread card
first—at still another bureau, which is
probably closed for the day. Armed
with a receipt from the bread card
bureau, he returns to the police bu
reau. gets his stamped identity card
and probably finds the last train to
Belgium for the day has gone.
Even when he gets aboard the train,
which may be. so overcrowded that
even with a first-class ticket, he may
have to ride in a second-class com
partment, his troubles are far from
ended. There are waits and pass
ports and customs examinations at
both the Dutch and Belgian frontiers
—one examination to get out of Hoi
land and another to get into Bel
gium, waits in rooms like bull pen?
in which, if the train happens to b€
crowded, the scramble for a subway
at a rush hour is play in comparisoxi
This condition, typical of travel be
tween Holland and Belgium, is as
nothing to the difficulties of getting
from Holland into Germany.
Rapid progress is being made, par
ticularly in Belgium, to restore rail
way traffic to normal, but the short
age of equipment due to war losses
or shortage of coal, due both to the
strikes and the war, has reduced the
number of trains operated to a figure
far below that of before the war and
all generally are overcrowded. As a
rule, no reservation of seats, excepl
on very long trips, are possible.

Peyser and have it made like new
You’ll be surprised at the result.—Dc

TRIBUTEPAID
WAR HEROES
(Continued from page 3)
! memory the valor and sacrifice of the
continental soldiery, who, with the
loss or offer of their lives, paid the
purchase price of independence, so
Memorial Day fittingly commemorates
that majestic army whose courage
and faith maintained the nation’s
union in the civil war; that army
which fought for the freedom of Cuba
and the Phillipine islands against
Spain, and finally that latest army
which, arriving at the psychological
moment, upheld the failing and ex
hausted energies of France and Eng
land to the defeat of the German
! monarchy and the Prussian imperial
ism.
The faded blue coat of the veteran
of the civil war is becoming more and |
more scarce as the years take toll
jOf the Grand Army of the Republic.
i Their bodies are bent with years,
, their heads covered with white hair,
I their crown of glory. Soon the last of
-the survivors of the great civil war
will go to his reward, but still
amongst the old heroes, the sound
of the drum and the call of the bugle
causes the pulse to beat anew, the
ibent forms to straighten, and the
| shoulders to be thrown back.
I
Ye living soldiers of the mighty war,
Once more from roaring cannon and
the drums
And bugles blown at morn, the sum
mons comes;
Forget the halting limb, each wound
and scar;
Once more your captain calls to you;
Come to his last review.
You, of the young generation, vet
erans of the Spanish war and of the
recent war with Germany, members
of the American Legion, wour war
time sacrifice is over; your duties
as citizens have in most cases, just
begun. Some of you enlisted to fight
for your adopted country while still
! subject to a foreign nation. You have
since become citizens of the United
i States, with all the privileges and
obligations of such citizenship; be as
as willing to take your places in the
ipeace army of our country as you
were to fight for it. And those of you
who are native-bom citizens of the
United States, remember that upon
the vast peace army of 2,000,000 ex
soldiers, ot which you are a part, rest -
the hopes of the nation. You will
be largely instrumental in future
years in guiding its policies and des
i tjinies. Be as brave, fajithful, and
j honorable citizens as you have been
loyal and courageous soldiers.
Let, us each year, as we assemble
to commemorate our martyred dead,
strive to be worthy of the nation for
which they died and in which our
hopes of the future live.
