KIN OF SOLDIERS
MAY GO TO EUROPE
Wives and Mothers Allowed
to Visit Troops.
Special Despatch 10 TIE SCR.


WASHINGTON, May IL. - American
tourists are not wanted In Europe this
year. and several OF the foreign Govern
ments have acquainted the State Depart
ment here with new rigid regulations to
keep them out Switzerland has served
notice that war conditions, 30 far aB liv-
ing accommodations are concerned, still
prevail and will continue for some time.
Great Britain will not wise passports I'M
less in cases OF great emergency. and
the travellers are required to remain in
Europe until after No nber ! next.
This Is to prevent oasr from interior
ing with passage b OF troops. Red
Cross workers, &c. 10 want all the
available steamship space.
The only letting down OF the bars in
any respect came to-day In an announce
ment by Secretary of War Baker as fol-
lows:
II am to-day notifying the State De-
partment that on and after June 10 the
Department win interpose no objections
to the granting OF passports to the wives
or mothers of American officers and en-
listed men who may wish TO 60 TO Eu-
rope, II should be understood that this
will not affect the general policy OF the
State Department with regard to grant
ing passports. but merely removes the
specific objections of the War Depart
ment (made early In the war in response
to the urgent requests OF our Allies) to
permitting close relatives OF members OF
tho American Expeditionary Forces to
60 to Europe.
THE changed ruling will permit a
number OF people who have important
interests Of various kinds to look after
in Europe, but who have recognised the
need OF uniformity in the application OF
any such policy to make their plans TO
20 abroad during the early summer. The
rapid westward movement of our officers
and soldiers. II is believed, will render
II unlikely that many persons will de-
sire to take advantage OF the changed
policy. The State Department will moi
grant passports to members of the fam
flies OF officers or soldiers whose or.
sanixations are listed for early return tc
the United States.
ut should be pointed out that in add.
ton TO the very difficult conditions OF
living In Europe the high cost OF food
and lodging and the delays and uncer.
families OF obtaining transportation Of al
kinds there Is the fundamental difficulty
OF ocean transportation"
