AMERICANS ARE
 RUSHING ABROAD

Some idea of the extent to which American tourists travel in Europe has been resumed, after five years cessation due to the war, can be gained from a glance at the sailings from New York during the past week. Within a period of three days four of the largest transatlantic liners left New York for the other side with a full complement of pass engers, many of them people of so- cial prominence, who have planned to revisit the various European re- sorts after five years absence.
 If anyone should doubt that tour ists are again turning Europeward for the novel scenes offered by the Old World, it is only necessary to go to any of the steamship offices or tourist agencies to find ample evil dence of the fact. They will tell you that since the advent of spring they have been literally swamed with applications for passage to Europe and information concerning the ad- vantages of escorted travel.
 The leading tourist companies have re-opened their offices in the leading European cities and at the various
 European resorts. At these offices are many of their representatives

 such matters as steamship and rail- road reservations, letters of credit
 and sightseeing excursions.
 According to reports that are now
 coming in, it is evident that after the upheavals of the last five years Flu rope is again ready to receive Ameri- can visitors. In London and Paris, and at the various popular resorts on the continent visitors are arriving in increasing numbers, the hotels are filling up, and signs are numerous that the coming season will be one of exceptional gaiety. With the grow ing volume of travel from this side ,, of the Atlantic, it is evident that even before summer begins the usual | throngs of American tourists will be seen in England, France, Italy, Spain | Switzerland, Holland. BelgSum and 1 Scandinavia, revisiting art galleries | and inspecting castles cathedrals and
 ruins.

SHUTTING OUT
 OF CHILDREN IS
 ROUNDLY SCORED

Hartford, May 3-Bishop John J.. Milan of the Roman Catholic diocese of Hartford, yesterday fayed land lords who ''do not hesitate openly to bar children from their tenements-" Bishop Nilan's attack was character ized as stinging by those who heard the utterances, which were given yes terday morning at St. Joseph's Cathe- dral in the sermon which the bishop preached at the first pontifcal mass celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop John G. Murray.
 "Landlords who profess to be good Christians ,''~but who refused to rent apartments to families with children were compared by Bishop Milan to the Landlords of Bethlehem" who, centuries ago, refused to shelter the Mother of Christ. Modern living quarters, Bishop Milan said, are built without any provisions for children This fact, Bishop Milan said, was one of the big causes of race suicide, which the bishop characterized as ap- palling. Although the periodicals of the day devote articles to the care and welfare of the children large fam flies are out of date.
 Bishop Nilan's remarks on race suicide weae introduced by a descrip-
 ton of the Masters work among chil dren. In his sermon Bishop Milan Fwelcomed an assistant and reviewed the ancient custom of the consecra- ton of a bishop. In welcoming the
 assistance of Auxiliary Bishop Mur- ray, Bishop Milan said, in referring to his own work, that while the shep- herds strength was diminishing, the flock was rapidly increasing.
 The crying need of the times, Bishop Milan said, is for a strong man, a man who had implicit faith, q man who would face the problems of 1 the day as they presented them-
 selves.

 For those who wish to visit the famous battlefelds of the late war, especially the territory covered by the great American offensives at St. Mi hiel and in the Argonne-Meu center special arrangements have been made by the French and Belgian Railways and the principal tourist companies Trips by automobile will be a feature of these excursions. Aerial trips have also been devised, with aero planes seating from two to fourteen passeng gers.
 One incentive to European travel this year has arisen from the friend ships made during the war. Many former wearers of the khaki who were guests of people in England, France and Belgium, have desire to return and renew these friend ships under peace-time conditions.
 A prominent New Yorker who re- turned, last week, from a long va cation abroad, said that while the travel situation in Europe was rapidly becoming stabilized, Americans con- templating a visit to England or the continent should be careful to make their arrangements well in advance. Europe wanted Americans, he said. and was doing everything to meet their requirements, but Europeans were travelling very extensively this year, and occasionally hotel accom- modations W ere difficult to obtain. With this exception, and the fact that long distance trains were sometimes overcrowded, conditions in the tourist countries of Europe had again be come normal and the American tou- rist who went abroad with well laid plans would find that no discomforts need be exDerie1ced
