For the good of friendly .relations between Europe and the United States there should bo lust as trong measures to keep the bad Americans and the undesirable Americans in tt- Unlted Stated as the strict measures that are taken to keep the undesirable Kurnueans out of America. Former Vice-President Marshall, during a recent visit to London, pub licly advised the English people not to iudge America by those "war prout- eers who came over hero and strut i and down Piccadilly." and the former vice-president didn t tell it all. The influx of Americans to Europe this summer has been great, and among the thousands who have come might have been many who might better have been kept at home. Lon- don newspapers have attributed sev eral sensational crimes of late to "Am ericans." Whether their conclusions were correct or not it is impossible to say, but it certainly indicates that London believes there are some unde sirable Americans among those pres erieans who have come to Europe to There have been hundreds of Am ericans who have come to Europe to flaunt their wealth in the faces of the still war-impoverished Europeans. Causes I'lifrlmillliicss. This does not make for a friendly feeling toward the United States and causes the deepest disgust among those Americans who are anxious that their country shall be truly rep resented on this side of tho water. There have ben too' many Ameri cans who have figured In the police court news in London this summet The London press never falls to fea ture the case of the American over-imbibes and gets into the toils and those yho don't get into the toils but make public scenes cause a great deal of comment among the lEnglish people, who look upon prohibition and drunkenness as great curses. The American Btage has been ter ribly misrepresented in England and particularly in the EngL'sh vaudeville theatres. There are American acts now headlined on 'Engjlsh vaudevill circuits that have never seen the light of any theatre out of the "tank cir cuits," and the English theatregoer is pretty skeptical of any performance that is labeled "American." There havo been siane excellent American performers come to England, bu there have been many more wh should have been kept at home. The Impression of America that Eu rope is gathering from the post-war American Influx is a poor one, and it certainly will not enhance In the Eu ropeans that wholesome respect which they gained for America by. close con tact with the American armies. liy HUDSON MAXIM.

'., July 21. (A.' P.)Ig John D. Rockefeller, passing the Indian summer of his life on his vast estate in the Poeantico Hills, at last lettine down the barriers he has always raised Against photographers and reporters? This is a question which has been interesting the newspaper profession ever since the world's richest man, on a recent Sunday, permitted camera men to snap him to their heart's con tent after they had consented to fol low him into church for service. Mr. Rockefeller, who bears the rep utation of being one of the most camera-shy men in America, may bo be coming more lenient in his attitude toward photographers, but as yet he has given rio indication of taking re porters into his confidence. ' ' . An effort to Interview Mr. Rocke feller on the recent occasion of his 84th birthday anniversary made, as usual, through a third party repre senting the household brought the response "Impossible." As no report ers as yet have succeeded in storm ing the Well-guarded gates of the Rockefeller home, the modern Croesus goes uninterviewed. Even to his fellow townsmen the little man, slight of frame, who ap pears in midsummer in leather waist coat, overcoat und muffler, is very much of an enigma. Tarrytown points out to each visitor the home of John D. Rockefeller, urg es the visitor to go up and see where Rockefeller lives, talks constantly about Rockefeller but rarely sees him itself. Gates Seldom Opened - tVery seldom -do Tarrytowners get inside the gates which guard the big home back in the hills. Once In awhile they see John D. come down town and sit in his machine while a chauffeur goes into a bank or a store but Tarrytown almost never talks to its richest citizen. He comes and goes there Is excitement while he is downtown, and discussion afterwards, and that Is all of Tarrytown's claim on its most famous citizen. Ever since the oil king celebrated his 84th birthday, Tarrytown has been seething over the question of who is lis oldest citizen. There is no ques tion as to the most famous. An ancient who sits in front of the big hardware store, just around the corner from the station, concedes first place to John D. The ancient admits he is only 83. Hut an Italian has asserted his grandfather is 88 und thero Is a farmer who lays claim to 90. Still, even in the face of odds, Tarrytown stands loyally behind its prominent citizens, and announces to the world that its oldest citizen today la nono other than the man who lunde oil famous. - ; Hut the town maintains that Mr. Rockefeller Is still a yoimgster in spirits. "Any man who plays golf as fre quently as he does," began one citizen, when he was interrupted with.il ques tion as to whether John D's private links were regular size. "Certainty it is, but John D. goes around it slowly," replied the citizen; but another Tarrytowuer broke lu with a denial. "It is not. It Is only about four holes of a normal course. And John D. takes three hours to make two of 'em." Last but not least, In Tarrytown's viewpoint towards its leading citizen is the tradition of the dimes, the day of days for the boys and girls. Spas modically, John D. Rockefeller gives lu cent pieces away to children. How did it start? Three stories are current: How It Started Number one Three boys, many years ago. walked up the hill, climbed the stone wall, went up to the porch and saw Mr. Rockefeller. They asked him for a dime apiece and got It. Since then. It is said, the oil magnate nas held his yearly party. Number two A boy was standing downtown when the Rockefeller ma chine drove tip. A package dropped out. The boy picked it up and hand ed it to Mr. Rockefeller personally. The boy got a dime, and John t. Rockefeller got an inspiration which he has followed ever since. Number three A lad was lost. He wandered into the Rockefeller mvs- tery links. The oil king saw him. He took him into the house, gave him a And the 10 WASHINGTON", July 4. (A. P.)
