TRAVEL TO EUROPE RESTRICTED

TRAVEL TO EUROPE RESTRICTED
New York. Nov 20-It is unlikely
that a resumption of transatlantic
passenger service by the steamships
of the allies will take place before
next spring or summer, according to
officials of the British lines in this
city. 1t will take from two to SIX
months to put back into shape the
big ships that have been carrying
troops and whose saloons and most of
their public rooms have been ripped
to pieces. The European need of food,
raw materials, lumber and metals for
reconstruction will keep the fleets
busy many months. Pending the re,
storatiOn of normal shipping business
it is probable that the Holland-Amer.
lean line and the Scandinavian com
panies will take care of most travel
lers crossing the Atlantic. The Nieuw
Amsterdam of the Holland-American
line, and the NOrwegian-American
liner Bergensfjord sails tomorrow.
