The chief difficulty is one of passports
M present the United States government
fatty refuses to issue passports to tour
lists. Only men and women engaged in
work which has some connection with the
war and to those whose errands are strictly
commercial or of nature likely to be
of some benefit to this country are given
these highly necessary pieces of paper.
Even then the passports are limited as to
the time within which they are good--very
limited, some of them-and to get extern
sions on the other side is wellngh impos-
sible. Besides, it is a difficult and weari-
some matter to get n passport vised in
London to permit one to go to France
and the paper has to be further indorsed
in Southampton and Havre both.

Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Regarding the best route from De-

|it is best to go via Toledo, Woodville,
CLYDE, O., Sandusky along the lake
shore boulevard to Cleveland, then
via Ravenna. Randolph. Garfield, 50
south to Washingronville, then via
Beaver Falls into Pittsburg. Con-
tinue over the Lincoln Highway, fol-
lowing red, white and blue bands on
poles to Chambersburg. Pa, then
south through Hagerstown, FREDERICK,
tRidgeville, to Washington. From this
city continue south through Freder-
I iscksburg, Richmond, Petersburg
IClarksville, Oxford, n. c., Durham.
Pinehurst, Camden to Sumter.
This route is recommended because
Of the iact that it includes the great
est amount Of improved highway, an1:
the. least number of heavy grades:
The extremely bad section between
wa shington and Fredericksburg is
now being concreted and about three
miles of new road have been opened
for regular travel, hut there still re-
mains detour Of about one and one
halt. miles which becomes next to i'm
passable in wet weather.
The Cumberland Gap route is un-
der construction through the noun
tains and that route is impractical.
Upon the arrival of any Of your
members here in Washington we shall
be glad to have them call here at the,
Office when the latest information will
be provided on the course.
