j. S. invasion" OF
EUROPE EXPECTED

LONDON, Oct 25.-The Sunday Ex-
press understands that a vast Ameri-
can invasion" of Europe is antici-
pated next spring. and, that already
no fewer than 100000 passages to
England have been Professionally
booked.
Inquiry at the headquarters of the
principal transatlantic lines ELECTED
the fact that the shipping companies
are making every possible effort to
cope with the anticipated rush, and
believe that they will be able to meet
the requirements. The Cunard Com
pany alone have twenty large new
vessels building, and the White Star
hope to hold their own. BY the end
Of May no fewer than 100 liners may
be engaged in ferrying American Wis.,
itors across the big drink"
This will mean that American dol
lars will pour into this country. and
the present unfavorable rates of ex-
change are likely TO be affected to a
considerable extent. An American
financial agent has estimated that
nearly a million Americans will in
wade England and France between
May and October next year, and that
they will spend al least $4,000 900 900.

voted by the House to Mrs. Edith
Carew Roosevelt, widow of the late
