Dis quieting: reports have reached the United States government concern ing: conditions in. Europe that should discourage American- citizens from going to! the continent. These reports have not been : made public because the government here has alrfady been pressed for a story as to the restrictions on passports and there is no reason why the American govern ment should court the displeasure of those Kuropean countries which are eager to have American tourists come abroad to ' spend their money. The writer has obtained a survey of conditions :; in Europe as revealed in official reports, j and while France and England are much better off than other countries,: j- nevertheless transportation facilities everywhere are crowded to the limit, and American tourists are finding it uncomfortable to move around. .DISEASE IS PREVALENT , Fortunately France and Kngland are not in as f bad i shape as Eastern and Southern Poland and parts of fjermany. Typhoid fever and spotted fever have come over the borders of Soviet Russia into Poland and, wfiile the Poles are striving hard to care for these patients, there are ; difficulties in handling the situation. ' Food in Germany is hardly of the best ar.d anyone who needs care and nourish ment ought not to risk his or her health in the central empires. The department of state is not issuing passports to any of these Central European countries, but at the same time there is no restriction upon Americans going into Germany once they are in France or England or Belgium., j.j: ! ' GREAT RANGE OF PRICES 'Perhaps the most embarrassing phase of the whole situation is the way Europeans are ; increasing their prices and discriminating against Americans. This is most . noticeable in Germany, where the supposition that all Ame-icans are wealthy is the basis for higher prices for meals or rooms or goods wanted by the American traveler than the Englishman or Frenchman. It is not an uncommon occurren-s to find an American paying 50 marks for something for which the Englishman is asked 40 marks and the Frenchman 40 and possibly everybody else only 3. Much of the same sort of discrim'na tion prevails in England and Fra ce, though In, both countries the govrn ments are doing their utmost to keep it under: control. They realise t'tat American tourists will not Ions sub alt to such discrimination, and Europe is too anxious to; have . Americans cc ne abroad to, , spend their money to carry the game too far. .. . GET BACK AT V,. 8. On the other hand, accommodations are difficult to get, and the law 3f supply and demand is to some extent responsible for the high rates being charged, Then, too, there is a common impression that every American who comes abroad gets a lot of money when he changes his dollars into marks or francs or English pounds. ! . For many months Europe has suf fered from the effects of the unfavor able rate of foreign exchange in endeav oring to buy commodities in the United States, and the American tourist is now paying some of that deficit. ! . Aside, however, from physical condi tions of : travel with hotels "- crowded, trains taxed to the very doors and aisles, and good food scarce in many parts of Europe, there, are certain dan gers of a blowup that may any day cause American tourists inconvenience. A LI, NIGHT ON STREETS Nobody can foretell the future, but the number of strikes and industrial dis turbances, is increasing. In one case Americans who went from Paris to a seaport town to get their ship for America found i a dock strike and inas much as the. sailing of the vessel was postponed, they1 pleaded with the steam ship officials to let them board the ship. There were absolutely no accom modations in the hotels of the little town, j Many -Americans are said , to have walked the streets all night in a vain effort to find lodgings. The usual red tape prevents relief from Paris.' Somebody with discretion enough to permit the Americans to live on board the ship while it waited for the strike to end would have saved the prospective passengers, who - had already paid for: their passage, po end of trouble. ENGLISH LABOR RESTLESS j Industrial conditions in England are the most baffling of all., Some reports indicate that England Is' apparently sit ting on a powder keg,, and that almost any day it would not be surprising to find that radical labor had gotten out of hand and decided to run the country. On the other hand, England's success thus far in handling the railway strike is the basis of widespread optimism and confidence on the part of another set of observers. ' European countries probably do not like to have the American public told that travel over their lands is difficult and at times distressing, but the truth is, conditions are far from normal, and Americans who go abroad can' hardly expect to see much change from war time inconveniences.'

(WASHING TON BUREAU. OF. THE JOURNAL.) Congressman Sinnott has received an unfavorable reply from the office of the postmaster-general to the suggestion! that relief be afforded mail route contractors by allowing them to resign and I advertising for new contracts. Several contractors in Eastern Oregon have furnished figures showing they arj approaching bankruptcy because of in creased costs, which they assert they could not reasonably anticipate in 1917 or early in 1918. The position of the department is that men entering into contracts after June 30, 1917,; should have been alive to the uncertainties of war conditions and bid on a basis to cover. r Sinnott' I has asked the department whether ! it would be favorable to ex tend relief by i adjustment of contracts for some period following the date here tofore fixed for such adjustments, June 30. 1917.1 - ! ' , , CHAMBERLAIN IS STILL BELIEVER IN I .Washington, May 8. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) --Senator 'Chamberlain was prevented by Ihis recent illness from making a speech of any length upon the army reorganization bill, but he took the floor long enough to em phatically reaffirm his belief in compulsory military training, and to express hjis regret fhat the army bill could not be j passed with a univer sal training plan in it. "I feel the sentiment of the country is against compulsory military train ing," he fcaid. "and although this bill does not (provide for compulsory serv ice in any true sense, it cannot be passed, j Therefore I will support the amendment of the senator from New Jersey, Mr. Frelinghuysen, for voluntary training, so that at least something may be saved- out of the wreck. - "In my judgment nothing has done so much good for the young men of our country j as the training they have re ceived after being drafted under the se lective service act, and nothing will .do them greater good in health and physi cal benefit and right ideals than bring ing them J into cantonments, rich men's son and poor man's son, together." The Oregon; senator alluded to the fact that Senator Wadsworth. in charge of the bill, had referred to'- senators on the Democratic side as being opposed to the bill. ! "I assume he did not mean to include all on this side," said Chamberlain. "Not at: all."; said Wadsworth. "I have worked ; with the senator from' Oregon on this bill. I know that he is for it. and has always been." "I wish to state as emphatically as I know how to state it, that I have not changed, p.nd that I believe in universal compulsory training." Chamberlain re sponded. .; -r Socialists' Meeting Wild Over Foster's Big ! Strike Plans Ml' t I v : . New j "ilork, j May 8. (U. P.)

May 8. (I. N.T S.) j The work of congress until .after, the national conventions Is' practically completed .today. j Leaders have reached a i tentative j agreement today for a recess beginning June 5 fo last during the conventions. ! House leaders have determined to main- ! tain the house in session after May 15 . under a gentlemen's agreement to act on conference reports,' but to take up no new legislation. A deficiency1 appropri ation bill, yet to be acted upon by the house, is the last legislation that body will act upon before the conventions' ac cording to , the i present, plans of Jhe leaders. . - - j , j ; , , . LARGE PROGRAM AHEAD When congress reconvenes! after the conventions it probably will face a con siderable legislative program.! It is ex pected that the conventions will instruct congress to act upon legislation provid ing a bonus for men who served during the war. The merchant marine policy of the nation probably will be determined by legislation before next fall and there is pressure for action upon i legislation to control the packing industry. , h President Wilson may . give congress some work, it is expected. The president is believed to have some legislative rec ommendations to make to congress be fore he leaves office and It is thought he will insist that congress act upon his recommendations before, the fall ad journment. ' . ' WOULD PLAT POLITICS Party leaders also may find work for congress to do after the conventions. Some of the platform planks may need to be securely spiked down by legisla tion. The present session, which is the first regular session of the sixty-sixth congress, begun on December 1, 1919, and to date its major achievements are the passage of (the Cummins-Esch bill for the return of the railroads to their private owners and the passage of the large appropriation bills for the coming fiscal year. . j -. ' Republican Jeaders declare passage Of the appropriation bills is a considerable achievement. Republican Leader Mon dell asserts that the- present congress has been able to save the nation $1,500, 000,000 by careful pruning of appropria tion estimates. 1 i During the entire sixty-sixth congress, which was called' in extraordinary ses-1 sion on May 19, 1919, there have been approximately 180 public laws enacted and 42 public resolutions. TWO BILLS EXACTED' The outstanding features of the Bixty eixth congress are the rejection of the peace treaty by the senate, passage of the Volstead -prohibition enforcement; bill and the passage of the. Cummins Esch bill. f: ' The sixty-sixth congress has been in session 314 days. The cost of this con gress - is estimated at approximately $8,303,358.86. : - ' Managing Editor Is Fined $100 for Contempt of Court Indianapolis, Ind.. May 8. (I. N. S.)

Preparations are being made to rig up a transcontinental telephone line be tween the White House and San Fran cisco to keep the president in immediate and constant communication.' PRESIDENT TO ADVISE; This, administration supporters; be lieve, is the next best substitute for having the president there in person, r His counsel Is desired, since party leaders regard his advice : as essential in. acting on the issues about which the campaign will revolvej and to-. insure Inclusion of the League of Nations as the paramount plank in the platform. Word from the president will be de sired as well as the question of who shall' have the nomination, since It is planned to have the convention indorse Wilsonian policies and to name a man who will go before the country wtih a plea for their vindication. . . HEALTH AT STAKE i ' It was determined the president's health is not such as to permit him to take so long and exacting a journey. Further, there was taken into considera tion the fact that he would be subjected to constant strain and excitement, and might wish to overdo, as he did at least during the early days ,of his illness.
