WRITER SAYS LONDON
is FULL OF YANKEES

I1ondon.-Frederick Townsend Mar
tin, despite his round of social en-
gagements, is spending some hours
daily compiling "reminiscences. He
has already written 1000 words and
expects that his book will be ready
for the press this fall. He is dealing
with American and European society
in an anecdotal, pleasant way and
while his book will be interesting il
will not be offensive.
Mr.. Martin has another book, or
The Disgrace of Idleness," showing
that even in monarchial countries
there has been a continual growth in
the contempt felt for men who dc
nothing, with the result that even in
the highest circles utilitarianism is
the keynote.
Mr.. Martin, contrasting this pres
ent with previous seasons in London
said:
London is filled with more Ameri-
cans than l have ever seen here be-
fore. Every hotel is taxed to its ut
most capacity. yet it is astonishing
how few well-known Americans are
about I have wandered about the
various hotels and restaurants and
scarcely have seen a handful of wha,
l call the old guard 1t is the new
throng that is predominating the peo-
pie who have become prosperous and
who are coming to Europe for the
first time. They are spending money
freely and eXude everywhere the spirit
Of American prosperity. Above all
it is a contingent that makes me fee
proud of my country. They are well
dressed. quiet, unostentatious and
show the English that all the socia
virtues of America are not contained
ia the limited few whose names are
as familiar here as in the United
States"
