K[cl(jioqys Tea THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA. TRYING HARD TD GET ROME American Tourists in Europe Flocking to Steamer Offices. Paying Fancy Prices For Passage London. —American tourists In Eng land entirely gave up their sightsee ing trips today and flocked to head quarters of the trans-Atlantic steam ship companies to try to book passages home. Their one and only object ap peared to be to get home as soon as possible. The Tunard, the White Star and other British and Dutch lines did an immense business, accepting many passengers who had intended to sail on Hamburg-American liners, all of had been definitely withdrawn from the service. The withdrawal of La Provence of the French Trans-At lantic Line, also provided many cus tomers. Many paid high premiums for tick ets to those who had them but prefer red taking the profit in the hope of getting home later at a lower rate. The Hamburg-American and other German companies have ordered their vessels In all parts of the world to seek neutral ports and if the orisis continues soon will be entirely dislo cated.
