No Use Making Maps Now.

London, Jan. 1~o.-Pending alterations
mapmaking business is at a standstill.
according TO an official of one of the
largest mapmaking concerns in Lon
don. who asserted that such extensive
changes were sure to follow the war
that many scientific publications which
were scheduled to contain maps were
being held up until the end of the con
lict, so that newly constructed maps
could be incorporated in them.
He added: ut would be a loss of
money TO issue some publications with
the present maps. for they would have
to be reprinted at the end of the war.
We are printing only n sufficient num-
Der OF maps Of Europe to meet the
trade demand, maintaining no surplus
stock"

Look For Rush to Europe.

London, Jan. 10.-lf the wal ends be-
fore next summer there will be such
Il swarm of Americans anxious to get
TO Europe. according TO the manager
of one of the transatlantic liners, that
the lines will not be able TO accommo-
date all the passengers in view of the
Gripping of many transatlantic boats.
In making this assertion this steam
ship official said:
Americans would forget all about
the hardships of the past summer IL
they had an opportunity TO visit the
battlefelds next summer. In fact.
when war is concluded you may ex-
pect to find hundreds of excursions to
batflefields planned. As for myself. l
would like to take some members or
my family over the ~battleiields before
were raked clean"
Ii Is said Ivy this steamship official
that he had already heard some tour
ist agencies specializing as to the dura-
ton of the war. and. while they diff
fered as to the date. they were unani-
nous in the opinion that Americans
would be keener than ever to come to
Europe when the st.ife was over.

had called Hunt. l could not produce
the man or tell who he was or where
