Summer Exodus to Europe,

The eastward rush of Americans 10 Ell.
rope is in full swing and steamship au-
thorities have been quoted as saving that
the summer exodus promises to exceed
the tourist sea travel of other seasons.
Every American port on the Atlantic with
steamship connection with Europe reports
eastbound ships sailing with full cabins.
Statistics bearing on the number of
Americans visiting Europe and the amount
OF money they spend are interesting. but
there is usually wide difference between
the minimum and the maximum esti-
mates.
The American is the best travelled man
in the world. He has succeeded his Eng
iish cousin as the globe trotter He not
only goes abroad. but as rule he does
considerable travelling in his own country.
He has restless disposition, and the
transportation lines cater to this charac-
teristic by excursions from end to end of
the land and enticing rates to natural
wonders, points OF interest, worlds fairs
and centenaries.
This extensive travel at home and
abroad is usually of value to the indi-
vidual American and the mass Of Ameri-
cans. They who see many things make
comparison and determine not perhaps
which is best. but which they think is
best. and this ability and opportunity OF
comparison make for better things in the
travellers home and his home city
The see America first campaign made
big noise year or so ago and has done
good, but it is not believed that Ameri.
cans do neglect or depreciate the wonders
OF their own country. They seem, as a
rule, to be pretty well informed on the
subject of American bigness and great
ness when one meets them In foreign
lands. 1t is one of Europe's complaints
against the American that he is foreve,
talking in press agent style of the 81.
periority of his own country.

Count Pourtales-against Great Britain
and Russia, which powers had notified
Persia that "she should not grant railway

moreover that Germany has proposed to
Turkey the conclusion of secret conven-
ton on the subject OF Persia, with the
view of joint action of Germany and Tur-
key against the Anglo Russian under
standing concerning Persia. And the dis
patches add that actually Germany has
offered considerable advantages TO Tur-
key If the latter agrees, which means
that It would constitute a Germa no. Turk
ish alliance not only for the defense of
Turkey, but Persia and possibly other
Mussulman countries
The aforementioned dispatches are the
more credible that for some time Ger

which her interests have been ignored in

The London Standard of the 18th in
slant declares that Germany made the
proposal to Turkey April -, and that the
latter government was impressed with the
necessity of joint action in Persia, where
German and Turkish interests were alike
menaced.
The Standard correspondent in this con-
nection communicates bit of news which
is regarded by that journal with some
concern. The correspondent reports that
Germany is interesting herself in Afghan

Office is urging the employment of Turk

takes an exceedingly pessimistic view of
things in Persia. That country, accord
ing to the learned English writer. is the
land of anarchy and the Persian with
out the capacity for self-government. and
following this deduction he says: IF
themselves. it follows. not that they
should be Incorporated in some neigh
boring realm and swallowed up forever.
but they should be gradually fitted for
the task of self-government."
1t is justice to say that DIR. Dillon Is
much too complacent over the actual
immixtion of Russia and England in
Persian affairs to be accepted as an I'M
prejudiced authority on the Persans. The
English author confesses that in an
cient times Persians occupied a great
place among the great civilizing nations
of the world. They contributed many
valuable things to the religious. political
and judicial administrations of Persia.
