Tourists returning from trip over
the Canadian Pacific. tHs Grand Trunk
Pacific and the Canadian Northern
railways speak enthusiastically of the
beauties that are revealed as these
roads enter aud pass through the
mountains. The Government has spent
enormous sums Of money laying out
roads, and developing easy means Of
access 10 glacier, hilI valley, lake and
stream. For VII. .lTIysei That the
wonders tha IEJB y. gOssessss in its

that tourist travel through Canada
would result Tourist travel mcuns
business, and " Is business that Can
ada seeks To make e. eve more nusy
for this travel, tht Government hus
taken pains 10 mak. cry step Of he
tourists entry into Canada one that
will give the very least degree Of trOu-
Die. On crossing the border, there Is
only the ordinary examination OF bag
gage, and the only precauiiOn is that
in the case Of foreign aliens, and even
IN their case there Is no difficulty
when the officials are satisfied that
they are not attempting entry as enc
mics.
Although officials Of the Government
have taken every means to bring 10
the attention ~ the tourist aud others
that no difficulty could be placed in
the way OF their admission, there still
remained doubt In the minds Of some.
Only the other day the Government
took action again, and authorized the
statement that no measures taken for
recrsiting the forces either have been
or will be applied TO any persons who
are not ordinarily resident In the DO
minlon. Nor II IL the intention TO ask
for volunteers except from among Brit
ish subjects, resident In Canada. More
over, the Military Service Act, under
which conscriptlon Is applied In Great
Britain, affects only persons "ordinar-
lily resident In Great Britain"
Americans aud British subjects resi-
dent In the United States who de-
sire to visit Canada will find no more
trouble at the border thun they have
experienced In the past, and upon ar
riving they will be made as welcome
as ever. War conditions Of any kind
will not Inconvenience or interfere
with them.
The immigration authorities sug-
gest that, as precnutlon against in
convenience, naturulized Americans
whose country of origin was one OF
those ot war with the British empire,
should provide themselves with their
certificates OF naturalization.
Now that II Is impossible 10 visit
Europe, the planning OF your vacation
trip through Canada Is one TO give
consideration TO. The Government has
taken an active interest IN It's Na.
tional Parks in the heart Of the Rocky
mountains. These can be reached by
any of the lines Of railways, and the
