There is a great rush OF Americans
for Europe. The steamship lines esti-
mate that the exodus will be ten per
cent larger this year than last. Last
year 1t was explained that people of
means toook advantage of the dull
tires to do little touring The same
reason might be expected this year. to
a much more limited extent. The Buff
falo Express thinks it probable. how
ever, that there will be large increase
each year, whether times are good or
bad. The fascination of spending a
few weeks or months abroad undoubt-
eddy has taken root in Americans. One
of the special attractions this year is
the coronation of the car in Moscow
1t will be a magnificent spectacle, no
doubt. but how the crowds are to be
accommodated is a problem which now
seems to admit OF no solution. An
equally serious question is how the
steamers are going to manage the i'm

insist on coming back about the same

their eyes wide open and their ears

1t is said that Carter will follow the
precedent laid down by other chair
men, his predecessors on the republi-
can national committee, and appoint

mittees of three. who will hear the tes-
timony and decide the $50 contests. be-

republicans, according to the Sun, say
that a majority of the republican ma

1t wise, take from Chairman Carter his
power to appoint these subcommittee
of three. and that If necessary the
whole committee would sit as a body
in determining the contests.
