Anti-AIien Regulations.
What is troubling many OF the
encies which arrange for large
tmbers of travellers in ordinary
ars is the fact that anti-alien legis-
ton here, and perhaps in the allied
untries on the continent, will have
e effect of severely circumscribing
binary channels of traffic. Accord
& to the proposed anti-alien legis-
ton in England 1t may be neces-
nv for Americans as well as other
lens to continue the system OF po-
.e registration before moving from
te place to another. There has re-
ntly been some amelioration Of this
~lisance for Americans in England, on
e initiative of Consul General Skin
n, who has made 1t possible through
.g~otiations with the aliens authorl-
IS to have Americans, after an inl-
n registration, able to leave their
ornament places of residence fol
her parts of the country without re
gistering in visiting spots, as long
the traveller is not away from his
,rmanent address more than 80 days
has been of the greatest assist
ice to business men, and If contin'
"a will eventually save lots OF time
Id trouble to ordinary visitors.
European hotel men and pleasure
sorts generally expect that 100000
mericans will visit the allied coun

or that reason there is every mop
lat the tide of travel will not be lon

Express to constantincpIe.
The European food problem, DO
aeyism. and racial antipathies on tn
ointment i'm particular are believe
he serious problems which stand
he way of any early resumption
primal travel. Numbers of German
m~ericans or students of social col
ttions may decide to visit German
lithin the next II months If tn
hadows of war and bolshevism are r
loved, but it is thought that the q
ed countries and the Riviera will q
ract many who formerly went to Ge
ian health resorts.
Within a few weeks an expires
hrvice between London, Paris, La
anne and the near East, with a tie
linus in Constantinople, will be
lorking order. This route, accordir
, travel experts here, is being esta
shed not only for economic reason
ut because a large part Of Europes
-afic to the near East will want
void Germany.
Until definite air rules for peac

he future air travel will be very pc
lar with wealthy Americans.
