Some idea of the hardships being
endured by American tourists now
marooned in Europe is contained 1t
letter received by friends in this city
today from DR.. Daniel Elliott, former

written on August 4, the day Great
Britain declared war on Germany.
The tourists were feeling the stress OF
the international controversy.
In describing some of the conditions
DR.. Elliott writes:
ST had to endorse a five-pound note
to get it changed, and we are so short
of money that we o. K. all meal and
refreshment checks, and also include
the tip for the waiter. How long the
hotels can stand it 1 do not know.
One of the Vanderbilts is here with
out money, and the widow Buscn IL
entirely destitute"
The Vanderbilt referred to. 1t
might be explained is a member of
the multimillionaire family of New
York, and Mrs. Busch Is the widow
of the late Adolphus Busch, the ST.
Louis brewer, who left an estate
valued at many millions.
DIR. Elliott refers to wealthy per-
sons being grateful to obtain passage
in the steerage Of the transatlantic
liners. then goes on;
