GERMANY WILL BE
,4 t
CONDITIONS ALONG THE RHINE
NOT ESPECIALLY INVITING
TO TOURISTS. AMERICANS RE
CEIVE COURTEOUS TREAT
MENT, HOWEVER.
BERLIN, April 29/—American tou¬
rists who come to Germany this sum¬
mer will find conditions of travel far
less attractive than in pre-war times.
In Hamburg and Berlin hotel facil¬
ities are constantly overtaxed by bus¬
iness men and even persons who have
telegraphed days in j advance for ac
, commodations are turned away by the
first-class hotels. If foreigners are
assigned to rooms they pay far more
than is charged to Germans.
Conditions along the Rhine are not
especially inviting for tourists. The
larger places are overtaxed by the
occupying armies, and it is almost
impossible for outsiders to get firat
dass hotel accommodations. Cologne,
Coblenz, and Mainz are filled to over¬
flowing by British, American land
French officers, respectively. Most
of the hotels are under control of the
* military and cannot be used by civil¬
ians unless they have authorization
from commanding officers.
It is also difficult for tourists to
travel between the various sections of
the occupied area. Police registration
is very strict and permits must be ob¬
tained to enter and leave various
areas.
In South Germany conditions are
more inviting to pleasure seekers.
Dresden and Munich are not so filled
with business men and the better ho¬
tels are usually able to provide tour¬
ists with rooms at rates much less
than in Berlin and Hamburg.
The passport problem is annoying
even within Germany’s own bounda¬
ries. For example, it is necessary
for a tourist going from Berlin to
Bavaria to have the vise of the Bava¬
rian legation in Berlin. This precau¬
tion has been taken by Bavaria to
prevent red agitators from invading
their territory from Berlin.
Trains are normal in Germany.
Bread cards are necessary to get
bread in dining cars and hotels and
most of the bread served is heavy and
black.
In the smaller cities and villages
tourists will find the living con
ditions much the same as they were
before the war. Americans motoring
through Germany or travelling on
trains are courteously treated. There
is no longer any disposition to repent
the use of the English language.
So far this year there have been
few Americans in Germany excepting,
business men and persons who came
to visit relatives. Most of these found
the passport regulations very irksome.
Tourists arriving at Dutch, Belgian,
French or English ports suffer de¬
lays in getting vises for Germany and
travel across the boundaries into Ger¬
many involves ah endless making of
declarations.
It is almost impossible under pres¬
ent conditions for tourists to travel
on a fixed schedule in Central Eu¬
rope, especially if their trip necessi¬
tates the crossing of boundares. Pass¬
port offices are frequently crowded.
Much time ia lost in getting vises,
and trains have interminable waits at
customs stations.
Through trains are now operating
between Paris and Warsaw, which
make the rail trip to Poland and the
Baltic states for easier than it has
been since the armistice. Trains will
soon be run from Berlin to Riga, Lat¬
via. Barring passport annoyances,
travel is almost normal between Ber¬
lin and Prague and Berlin and Vienna.
There are no fast boat trains now
between Berlin and Hamburg and
Berlin and Bremen, such as existed
between the war.
The great German steamship lines
co-operating yrith American lines now
operate touring companies of their
own which are prepared to conduct
parties throughout Germany at a fix¬
ed price, including hotel accommoda¬
tions, railway fares, guides and car¬
riages. The rates are higher than be¬
fore the war, even taking the favora¬
ble American exchange into consider¬
ation.
Since the armistice there have been
few American tourist parties in Ger¬
many on regularly conducted tours.
The great tourist agencies have not
been able to guarantee fixed rates
because of |the wild fluctuation in ex¬
change and the general disruption of
the organizations through which ar¬
rangements were perfected in pre¬
war days.
An effort is being made by steam¬
ship lines, hotel proprietors and rail¬
way officials to get American tourist
business back on a fixed basis, but the
failure o fthe United States to make
peace with Germany has been a great
hindrance to such hegotiations.

NO SPECIAL MONUMENTS WILL
BE PERMITTED OVER GRAVES
OP OUR SOLDIERS WHO DIED
AND ARE BURIED IN FRANCE
PARIS, April 29,—No distinctions
of rank will be made in marking the
graves of American soldiers who died
in France, says Charles S. Pierce,
chairman of the American commis¬
sion, which has arrived here to pre¬
pare plans for beautifying the four
permanent military cemeteries where
the bodies of all the American fight¬
ers are to be gathered.
it We shall try to make these ceme¬
teries memorials of which all Ameri¬
cans will be proud," said Colonel
Pierce. “Early in the discussions we
decided that regardless of rank and
position each grave.should be treated
in the same manner and given equal
attention. The only variation per¬
mitted will be on the uniform head¬
stones. On the top of these relatives
may' inscribe any religious emblem
they wish so long as it does not in¬
terfere with the uniformity of the
stone.
“No special monuments will be
permitted. All the Americans died
in the performance of their duty and,
no matter how heroic individuals may
have been, the feeling of the nation
seems to be that all should be accord¬
ed the same honor.
“It is impossible to say now just
what form the beautifigation will take
but money will not be spared in,fak¬
ing the cemeteries the most imposing
in the world. CongTess has appro¬
priated $1,000,000 as a preliminary
sum for this work, with a promise of
more. It is probable that $3,000,000
will be expended.
U The task of removing the dead
will be completed by the end of Oc¬
tober. The bodies of those soldiers
who are to rest permanently in
France will then be concentrated in
the four cemeteries. This work to¬
gether with the development work we
intend to do, probably will take one
year mow?.”
The commission which is an advis¬
ory body to the Secretary of War and
Quartermaster-General of the United
States Army, is now making surveys
of the American cemeteries. Later
the commission will formulate plans
for a permanent cemetery for Ameri¬
can soldiers in London.
Until very recently wicker weav¬
ing an art dating from Biblical days,
has been done by hand.

Even the Oldest Super-Sixes
Today Speak of Hudson's Worth
It is just a matter of idle comment that Hudsons two,
three and four years old, are constantly^ mistaken for
cars of recent production.
On the contrary, there is a very clear connection be¬
tween the way these older Super-Sixes hold their new
appearance and smoothness ot performance, year after
year and the fact that Hudson for more than five years
has held the leadership among fine cars.
And of all its more than 100,000 owners none give such
convincing endorsementSas those who drive the oldest
Super-Six^s and find them still essentially modern in
looks and atill giving fine, reliable performance.
