LONDON, Aug. 2.-London is fast

steamer from France and Belgium
is filled with American tourists who

which country affords them theii
only chacne of reaching home.
Inability to get money is another
incentive for their desire to leave

use for foreign tours, cannot be
converted into currency except at

That Is our position. We are not or
