New Yerk.-Amsricans who centsm- plate visiting the battleAeids in Flu rsps next sprinG CT summer will bs well advised te secure their hotel ac- commodatioa well Ia advance or ts postpone their Journey until conditions ars moro favorable. Percy s. Bullen. trsasursr of the Association of For eien Press Representatives in the Uni- ted StAteA who has just returned to New York, says that London even new tAnnet nnd room fer visitors and that tfe state Of affairs when the hoodgates If tourist invasion are again open will Dc appalling unless the intending American visitors are forewarned and therefore forearmed.
 It is animated that some 2.O00O 900 persoAs--one fer each man sent to Europe by the United States during the war--are making plans for . transatlantic trip in the next two years. Their chief object is to see the historic spots where the American soldiers fought-the Argonne forest, Chateau -Thierry, St. Mihiel-and to devote such . period to . visit to Eng land as time and funds will permit.
 MT. Bullen has been all over the western front during the last few weeks and he predicts nothing but anger. irritation and despair as tho lot of any, visitors who. trust to luck to secure hotel accommodations.
 Ne steps Vet Taken.
 The difficulty of the situation will that the usual How of tourists to Europe has been completely suspend cd during the war and that only those among the weaIthiest will have the first chance Of securing hotel accom- moda ton when the bars against tour ist travel shah have been removed.
 So far no steps whatsoever have been taken abroad to meet an unusual influx sf visitors. Ar. Bulien was % impressed with the difhsulty threat sned in London that he prepared . memorandum on the subject. which he submitted at . recent meeting of the Royal Colonial institute In London. In the discussion which snsued it was proposed that steps be t&ken for the formation in London of . national committee of reception. Az nucless of the organization it was proposed that representatives sf the various Angio-Amerieas societies should meet, with power to add te their number vsrious representatives whose expsr- snce would be useful in sOiving tAs problem now presented. such persons would include members of the Assri- can Chamber of Commercs in Loudon and other Americans. besides leading Britshsrs.

Judge Says Husband Should Leave

in what he termed "most unusual''
divorce suit. After some further com

divorce from George D. Bryant, who
had testified that it was his religious

law of God,' and that the husband
had a 'moral right to correct his
wife, and require obedience of her. =
On the witness stand he stated he
felt it was his religious duty to take
her back if she would come, but he
did not find her responsive The tes-

street car conductor, belonged to a
religious sect that believed it was the
duty of the wife to look upon him as

PERSHING'S TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

1T gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for its greatest
service comes during times of
war, and its achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there is
and perhaps there always will
be vital need for the humani-
tartan work which it renders.
1.-THE present and former serv-
Ice men can never forget the
Red Cross. not only for what it
did for them during the war,
but for what 1t Is doing now In
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed In assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as peace
time organization can hardly be
0ver-estl'nated. and we owe 1t
our loyal support and active CO.
operation.

"POTENTlAL SPIRITS"

To THE Ep1roR or THE HERALD
In today's issue of your valuable paper
Mr.. - points out the absurdity Of the
present vogue in spirtualism. He is quite
justified in his aversion to the use of me-
chanical means to summon up the de-
parted to interrogate them anent trivial
matters in the beyond.
There is a law in nature that such
cannot be. And well for us mortals here
any great work allotted to us IL we were
hampered with messages of slight i'm
portance. Also, departed spirits have no
time to be called upon to chat concerning
our mundane commonplaces All this any
sensible child will acquesce to.
The whole truth can be succinctly ex-
planned in the following logical axioms:--
Each of us is a spirit per Sc. differing
in degrees of potentalities Example:-A
man Of talent is spirit in embryo
creative man is an advanced spirit; in
fact, q true spirit Of the spirit world. who
has powers above the average man. He
requires no spirit communication from
spirit land for he has the powers inherent
in himself to do or Think Of whatever ne
wishes. This is not possible in q man of
talent who is still in the under class of
the spirit world.
From today on let this slogan be voiced
In ringing tones:-We ourselves are spirits
We have all powers in ourselves, full
blown in some, latent in others. Each
and every one can be what he wishes tn
be. Let us work at our tasks-and i'm
prove while we are la!boring. No departed
spirit is allowed to chat with us through
Ia medium or with the aid of man-a,adc
devices. We ourselves are potential
spirits. When we pass away from here
we go to other worlds or return to this
world, according to our individual deserts.
Therefore. do good while here!

WHY High Prices Continue.

Despite the promise Of some govern
mcnt officials that a vigorous campaign
against "profiteers' soon would bring
prices down. despite appeals of govern
mcnt officials to workingmen not to strike
under the promise of bringing prices
down to decent level, high prices con-
tinuc high-in fact, threaten to go higher.
What is the cause? Where will be the
end?
Promoters Of an unchanged peace
treaty have abandoned the plea that de-
lry in ratification was responsible for
high prices and the low rate Of foreign
exchange There are two causes of high
prces--one the destruction of goods
abroad by reason of the war together
win the low production since the war,
lie other the excessive issue Of paper or
credit money in nearly every country in
Europe as well as in the United States.
Tor long time America has been feeding
and clothing Europe. Even now Ameri-
can goods are being sent abroad in i'm
mense quantities. A shortage Of goods
