Scores of American College
Students Said to Be Strand
ed in Europe.

BOSTON, Mass, August 23.-Scores Of
American college students are selling
post cards on the streets of Paris and
performing other humble tasks in the
big cities of Europe to get a few cents a
day with which to buy soup until their
families cable them funds, according to
five young men who are in Boston today
after beating their way back from Europe
as cattlemen. The five are Joseph Nichols,
J. j. Murphy and G. Eckhardt of the
University of Pennsylvania; Gilmer
Siler of Trinity College, North Carolina,
and ]. a. Smythe of st. Ignatus Col
lege, California.
They declare that the exodus of COL
lege students to Europe was unusually
large this summer. and add that a large
proportion of those who went abroad are
now stranded in various foreign cities.
There are scores of students who will
be absent when the rolls are called this
fall in American colleges" said Siler.
I'VE found a number of them in Paris,
willing to do almost anything in order to
earn a few cents. There are more in
London. Rotterdam. Antwerp and in the
cities along the Rhine. Many of them
are living on charity while waiting to
hear from friends or relatives on this

The attendants at the Salon Carre,
where the painting had had the place of
honor for five years, now tell of having
wondered at the rapt and longing regard
given the portrait by young man who,
during recent weeks. frequently visited

that he was of northern race. He was
blond and had blue eyes. He would gaze
strangely at the dark Italian beauty as

1t is said that $o,OO0;GO0 was once offered
to the French government for the picture.
According to legend, the painter kept

Testimony of Experts.

The experts allege that maraschino a
liqueur with which the real cherries OF
that name are treated. is absent from
the bottles sought to be condemned.
The allegation is made that to give the
flavor Of the liqueur. use has been made
of benzoldenhyde and oil of bitter al
monds and glucose, which. it is claimed,
have been mixed and packed with the
cherries SO as to reduce and injuriously
affect their quality and strength. The
charge is also made that there is no
maraschino in the contents of the bot
ties.
