With European Tours Cancelled Many
Americans Will at Last Learn Some
thing of Their Own Country

Y ~ no economics were enforced
~ by business considerations and
no solemn thought was de-
handed as tribute to the European
situation the American people are pre-
pairing for the gayest summer in many
year.
1t is to be a sur -mcr OF Seeing
America" Pleasure is the great word
in the Lexicon Of prosperous Ameri-
cans and perils of the seas and upset
conditions in old World countries be-
cause of war will not suffice to keep
them from its pursuit. Therefore. be-
cause the quest of II abroad AZ in
former years is prevented. thousands
who never before gave Seeing Amer
ica" more than a passing thought viii
at last sec something of their own
wonderful country.
The annual pilgrimage abroad has
been mad by approximately 100000
Americans. The sum total of their
spendings in foreign lands has been
computed at from $3.50, goo, 900 to $780,
100000 The significance of having
this wealth spent in the land from
which IL was derived is not lost upon
the American resort manager. hotel
keeper and amusement promoter.
Americans are the best tourists In
the world. foreign hotel proprietors
say who have spent the better par;
of their lfetimes catering 10 their
wants. Comfort and luxury loving.
they spend their money freely. They
are discriminating. however. and they
exact the best. The same Judgment
they have exercised in choosing for
eign spas they will show this summer
in picking out resort regions in Amer
ica for their vacation.
This summer vii. be not merely a
great summer for Seeing America"
but for Seeing New England" New
England is preeminently the vacation
land Of a public whose taste has been
seasoned by travel experience. No
where are the people more experienced
In the entertainment OF tourists
The splendid hotels OF this region
vie with any Of the hostelries OF the
European resort world. The business
Of looking after the comfort and en-.

resorts have been objective points ror

The extent to which New Engllnds
claims to popularity are appreciated
may be gagged by the fact that tour

There are hints OF the Italian Riviera

There is something OF Norway-and
not "A little Of Japan--in the overhang
of the evergrcens on the rugged

insurance act has brought medical at

medical profession has been taken

l!eve there are some 10000 physicians
who are so employed.
The effect OF the Lloyd George act,

who draws his pay from the State is

temptations which beset him under the
competitive system.
The srcat steps that have been

been made by physicians who are

AUTO ''REvERSES"
THROUGH WINDOW

One of the large plate glass windows
on the south side Of the Augusta Trust
ouiidlhs was broken about 10 o'clock
wednesday night by the Thomas FLYER
automobile owned by Dr. NJ. E Hawk.
Inc automobile had been left standing
in Market Square for a short time during
the evening. During Mr.. Hawks alb
sehce me car was put in reverse gear
ana when DR. Hawks returned and
cranked the car it jumped backward and
one Oh the rear springs went through the
piate OF glass. The other rear spring
narrowly missed smashing another of the
plate glass windows. 1t broke the win
COW casing and pushed the glass in
ABOUT an inch. The force of the Coli-
sion tore down some of the plates Of
marble on the interior of the bank near
the window The damage to the auto
mobile was slight. pr. Hawk stated that
when he left his car he noticed some
boys playing with the horn and it is
tnought that these boys put the gears in
reverse.
II is claimed that this incident is a
good argument for Postmaster Plaisted's
suggestion that the city government ask
the Maine Central Railroad to move its
renee by Commercial stree. near to its
tracks. which would give an excellent
ground for parking automobiles and
leave clear thoroughfare through Mar
ket Square

,. Morgan & Co., the consignees.

No statement was made officially as
to the value of the American securi-
ties accompanying the gold, but these
were reported to be worth approx
mately s3o,o0O,o0O. making the total
r"lue of the shipment about $4,000,
600.
ne gold in the shipment consisted
of American eagles to the value of
s,s5O,000 and 100000 English SOW
ereigns. amounting to approximately
S11 .615. 1000. A plausible explanation of
the error yesterday in announcing the
value Of the shipment was founi Ill
the latter item. the total dollar value
apparently being given as pounds.
This makes the total value of the
three shipments sent by Great Brit
ain recently to Halifax on warships
and then transferred by rail to New
York approximately s150.0O0,00O. This
great sum. it is believed, has all been
used in paying for munitions of war
and other supplies shipped tc Eng
land and France from this country.
