The period of reduced business
which affected English hotels during
the first year of the war was long
ago succeeded by unusual activity,
according to Commercial Attache
Kennedy, at London. London hotels,
although not put to such a test as
hotels in Washington, D. C., are
generally full to capacity at the
present time. This change has been
brought about partly by an increase
in the number of transient visitors
to London. Many officers and sol
diers are continually on leave. Fam
ilies have moved into the city from
the country to engage in some form
of war work or to be with relatives
on leave from the front. Difficulty
in procuring satisfactory servants
and rising cost of living have induced
the giving up of large houses and
the moving into small houses, flats
or hotels. Rents for large houses
have fallen, whereas rents for smallei
quarters have gone up. The in
creased control assumed by the gov
ernment over business has, moreover
brought many business men to tht
city on periodic visits.
The effect of this increased de
mand for hotel accommodations ha'
been augmented by the commandeer
ing of large hotels for tne use ol
government departments, The Cecil
Grand, Victoria, Metropole, and St
Ermins hotels, all of which arc
located near the government depart
| ments in Whitehall, have been com
mandeered for government offices
The Goring hotel, which is near the
American embassy, has been com
mandeered for the quartermaster's
department of the United States
army. The expansion of govern
mental departments is likely to make
still greater demands on hotels anc
clubs for temporay quarters.
Letters received from hotel man
agers show the trend toward increas
ed patronage. The managers of the
hotels and restaurants of the Greal
Eastern Railway system write: “Ir
common with most London- hotels
our business has increased since the
war started in both restaurant and
hotel departments. This is probably
| due to a number of large London
hotels being taken over by the gov
ernment, and to the constant move
ment of officers, soldiers and thei.
friends through London.” The man
ager of the Strand Palace and Regent
Palace hotels says: “All our room:
are occupied each night,” The man
ager of the Savoy hotel states: “Now
our restaurants and cafes are doin£
more than in pre-war years, while
rooms are doing as wrell as in the
prewar period, business being more
continuous—that is, not now par
taking of season character.”
The de lux London hotels, of which
there are seven, are now better oft
than before the war so far as charg
es for rooms are concerned. They
are asking the rates which previously
prevailed only during the London
“season.”
The most interetsing factor in a
study of British hotels during the
war period relates to the effect ol
food regulations and probable in
crease in the cost of meals. Fooc
regulations, it may be said in gen
eral, have not been an insurmnunt
able obstacle, and prices for meals
have not materially advanced. lr
April, 1917, the food controller is
sued the public meals order as a
defense for the realm regulation
This fixed certain quantities of meat
sugar, bread, and flour to be server
during various meals in every inn
hotel, restaurant, refreshment house
club, boarding house and every place
of refreshment open to the genera
public.
When the public meals order first
came into operation restaurant anc
hotel keepers doubted the possibility
of curtailing the food supply and the
cost per head to their customers
They, hinted at the ruination of theii
business and declared that the keep
j ing of a register involved a know
ledge of accountancy and was tc
most of them an insuperable task
Eight months’ experience revealec
to them the fallacies of those pre
mature arguments and has showr
that on the whole the regulation ol
the trade in public catering has beer
a success.

; pare services and charges in English
| and American hotels. While this re
port was being prepared the manager
1 of one of the leading London hotels,
which is probably known all over the
I world, very kindly took occasion to
■ i demonstrate that hotel accomodation
is a personal service which must be
! related to local social customs and
• individual tastes. French or Ameri
i can hotel practice could not be suc
i cessfully transplanted to London.
• Americans generally believe they pay
more for hotel accommodations in
England than at home. Englishmen,
on the other hand, are undoubtedly
suprised at the charges of Amercan
hotels.

“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January *1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
