First signs of spring in England have spurred tbe transport.! t.on com panies and the tourist agencies into a fever of expectancy and all eyes are turned toward America which Europe regards as the haunt of the millionaire. Visitors from the United Stalfs are promised mucb in the way of accommodations, with conditions approx. mating those in pre-war days prevailing. Hotels and pen sions again will have plenty of rooms on comparatively short no tice, and passport ceremonies are shortened.

Then it was necessary for an American citizen to go to tbe trouble of getting a passport vised even when embarking for his na tive land. Such a procedure is no longer necessary. Police restrictions in tbe British Isles also are relaxed, registra tion being required only if a vis!, tor intends to remain more than 6 days, and railway facilities are greatly improved in schedules And Atravel accommodations. At this date, no steps have been taken toward organized welcome for American tourists because it ' o van itj uteu care of adequately by tbe regular Insti tutions for this purpose.
