THE MORNING OREGONTAN, TUESDAY. OCTOBER .18, 1921 13 ID TOURISTS OVERRUN FRANCE LVar-Torn Areas Are Asset That Sustains Country. GERMANS HARD AT WORK Ir. and Mrs. Lewis of Portland Jtelurri From Europe With In formation of Conditions. France is capitalising her war-torn fields and shattered villages as the Kreatest American tourist attraction in Europe, and the money spent by the travelers is practically the UvinK of the country, according to n. I. Lewis. Portland business man, who has Just returned, with Mrs. Lewis, from a seven months' tour of Europe. xne battlefields, the ruins and the great war scenes remain practically intact, Mr. Lewis says, and from 40, O00 to 60.000 American tourists are in Paris all the time, going and coming from sightseeing trips to points of in terest in France and throughout the continent. (iFrmim Hard at 'Work. "In Germany, more than in any country of Kurope, the people are working," said Mr. Lewis. "There is no Idleness and every factory is busy. Wages are low, and prices are very, Tery low. "Germany's foreign trade is growing enormously. Japan, China. Central end South America, England and the I'nlted States are all buying goods in large quantities. I have heard re- rvrts that the German exports to the United States this year will approach me pre-war totals. "The exchange rates, the low wage scale and the fact that everyone is working seems to account for Ger many s industrial revival. The tra iltlonal hatred of France still re mains, although in some quarters xnere is a move to overcome it. People Forgetting War. "Hut the middle-class Germans are glad to be rid of the military, even though It cost them the war to do it. lOne still sees a member of the old f order of things at times, but for the ;most part the people are trying to 'forget the war and settling down to 'pay it off as rapidly as possible." Mr. Lewis thinks American specula tion in the German mark Is responsi ble for the extremely low level it has reached. The men who bought when the mark stood around 8 cents began unloading when the value receded and continued 'dumping of the money to secure American dollars forced the mark down to its present 1-cent val uation. The low value of the German money is her greatest trade asset, fo' no nation, especially the United States, can compete with her In the open market In the sale of manufac tures. Switaerlnnd la In Had Plight. Switzerland, the neutral mountain republic which suffered so severely from the war. is in a terrible nlieht ' at present, Mr. Lewis says. Forty per cent of Switzerland's tourist trade formerly came from Germany and, with the exchange rate as it is at present, the Germans are shut off from the famous Swiss resorts. Other tourist trade, with the exception of the American, has not returned to its pre-war basis. The great resort hotels of Switzerland are deserted and their owners are bankrupt, according to Mr. Lewis. The country Is the most Interesting cf any in Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis fate. They spent five weeks of their European tour visiting the beauty spots of Switzerland. Tourist Bualneaa Fostered. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis toured the prin cipal battlefields of northern France and Belgium early in their trip. The French are apparently figuring on them as a great tourist attraction for generations and In most sections are making no efforts to restore the vil lages and farms. The tourist routes take one for days through a devastat ed land, deserted, but terrible with the story it tells. Condltlans in England more nearly approach those of the United States than In any other country, Mr. Lewis thinks. In London there are thou sands of unemployed, although stores are busy and prices are high. The dissatisfaction and unrest is more noticeable there than on the con tinent. Reposition Cannes Interest. Throughout the trip Mr. and Mrs. Lewis talked "Oregon in 19:15," and found that people In Europe were al ready enthusiastic over it. Prac tically all Portland citizens who have been abroad during the last year have spread stories of the exposition and awakened interest in it. JThe European trip Is the first for and Mrs. Iewis, who have spent l years in Portland. Mr. Lewis states thkt The Oregonlan followed him throughout the greater part of the Journey and that it was an Oregon product which he took delight in showing to his acquaintances along the way.

Out of the decayed trunk of a giant cedar a fine hemlock tree grows in Vancouver. The local people say It Is the only case of graft In British Columbia. e Stanley park, In Vancouver, Is named in honor of Henry M. Stanley, known to fame as a reporter and ex plorer, maybe more as the latter than the former. It s a wonder. There are giant trees in this glorious spot, some of them 60 feet in circumference. There Is .a rock garden in which all the wild flowers of Canada may be found In profusion and confusion, too. There's Shakespeare's garden, with every flower named In tha works of the vrd of bards. And. under cover, are tropical and sub-tropic plants. Nearby is a Zoo logical garden with bears, wolves, lions, moose, buffalo, lynx, kangaroos, ostriches and beasts and birds with out number. It's doubtful whether any city In the states has a wider selection. They even have elks presented to Van couver by the government of the Lnlted States. ' a Why anybody American should go into rhapsodies over the Alps when he has such a marvel as Mount Hanier In the United States and the won iarous iascaaes ana u&naaian nocKies uii nis own xooisiooi la nam iu uimei stand. There's enough scenery when you look out of your hotel window in ancouver to make your heart de light. Mountains of the coast range come right down to the water and they are mountains. Few cities of the world have such towering heights within a few miles. At dawn and sunset glow they have a beauty min may know but never be able to translate by writ ten word. Vancouver's great show place is called Shaughnessy heights, In honor of the doughty old man who was president of the Canadian Pacific rail way. .Many of the palaces of this beautiful residential section are liter ally covered with roses. In the east the rose is of June. Here it lasts up to Christmas. You find the rose vines even twined about the chimney tops. And the roses themselves! They have a richness of color beyond anything grown without the hothouse of the east. One-legged, young men and young men with one arm gone are not un common on Vancouver's streets. The writer was commenting on this fact while he walked along the streets with an attache of the board of trade. "Yes," said the British Columbian "See that young man on the opposite side, the one who limps. My brother- in-law. Has a wooden leg. Lost the limb at Vlmy Ridge." Japanese. Chinese and East Indians are many in British Columbia. The British Columbians say they do not like the Japanese and could spare the Chinese, but wish they had more of the Hindoos. 'They make good citizens," was the comment of one prominent Canadian as to the Last Indians. After a night trip across Puget Sound from Seattle to Vancouver in the Frlncess Charlotte a newspaper man halted in his dressing to listen to the singing nearby of some of Harry Lauder's ballads by a person with a fine baritone voice. Lauder has one good note. The singer of the Princess Charlotte has several, and besides he has a fine expression. From "1 Love a Lassie" and several other of the kilted variety of songs the man with the baritone voice swung into "Madeion," the great ballad of the French soldiers in the recent war. Only once had the newspaperman heard "Madeion" sung with more ex pression and in sucn good French. The newspaperman went out from his stateroom to get a peep at the singer. Now he wishes he had not. The man whose voice had charmed him and who might make a name for himself on the concert stage was a he-chambermaid busily engaged making up the beds in a nearby stateroom. mm IDEALS UPHELD DIFFICULTIES WILL BE SOLVED SAYS DR. It. II. SAWYER. People Need Only to Bo Jarred and Americanism Will Do Rest, Anglo-Israel Society Told. To meet the problems confronting the country today it is only necessary to Jar the American people Into action, and the spirit of Americanism will do the rest. This was the keynote of an address on the meaning of America made last night by Ir. R. H. Sawyer at the banquet of the Anglo-Israel Research society at the Benson hotel The Ideals of the American gov ernment constitute the divine instru ment of Christ and will solve the difficulties in which civilization finds itself involved, said Dr. Sawyer, and these Ideals are what is known as the American spirit. Americans, through their Idealism, possess the ability to solve their problems, and will solve them if they are only aroused to the proper pitch to take action, he declared. He referred to Immigration perils as the "foul streams of humanity flowing to our shores, the riffraff of all nations overflowing our business, social and educational Institutions." About 200 members of the Anglo Research society, of which Ir. Sawyer is president, together with a number of guests, were present at the dinner. Hamilton Johnstone acted as toast master. Other numbers on the pro gramme were solos by S. J. Eddy and Miss Jesse Lynne Sawyer, accompa nied by Miss Margaret Notz, and ad dresses by E. E. Richards, president of the British-Israel society of Van couver; J. H. Rankin. Judge Mclvin C George and Mrs. Alexander Thomp son, president of the Federated Wom en's societies.

McCrea. a well-known resident of California, who was called Paddy and Grandpa on accouat of his white hair, and who darkened it with a home-made mixture, recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home that will darken gray hair, and make It soft and glossy.

TREATY CHANGE REFUSED RATIFICATION PACT NOW OF GERMAN CONCEDED. Night Session to Bo Held if Neces sury. Say Leaders, in Order to Reach Final Vote. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 17. All efforts to amend the administration peace treaty with Germany were de feated in the senate toaay and lead ers announced a night session would be held, if necessary, tomorrow to reach a final vote. Both supporters and opponents of the treaty agreed today that the treaty would be ratified, although perhaps within a margin of only three or four votes, and that the treaties with Austria and Hungary would be accepted Immediately thereafter. The appointment today of a republican successor to the late Senator Knox was calculated to give the treaty ad vocates an additional vote. Amendments rejected were offered by Senators Reed of Missouri and Walsh of Montana, democrats, and re ceived scant support, the bulk of democrats as well as republicans vot ing against. Senator Reed proposed a blanket cluase freeing the United States from all obligations under the treaty of Versailles.

Senator, Walsh, Montana, offered two amendments designed to pledge this nation to Join other powers In protecting Germany against unjusti fied aggression. They were defeated 71 to 7. and 62 to 6. Just before the senate adjournment tonight Senator Reed offered two more amendments for consideration tomorrow. One was similar to his pro posal for exemption of obligations un der the Versailles treaty and the other would declare this nation not bound to submit any claims to the reparations commission or any other body created by the Versailles cove nant. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. senior democratic member of the for eign relations committee, is to speak tomorrow in favor of ratification. LEOFOBD FOUND GUILTY ASSAULT MADE WITH BEER BOTTLE ON C. M.
