"A loaf of bread and some

CHURCHES IN BRITAIN
CLASSED AS LUXURIES

London, Aug. l4.-ChUrches are
the latest item to come into the
luxury" category.
Some weeks ago the Catholic au-
thorities put before the Middlesex
council plans for a new church, but
the council took the view that all
labor available was needed for the
building of houses and prohibited
the erection of even a simple cor
rugated iron structure for this pur-
pose, on the ground that a church
is a luxury building.
So much hardship is felt in Vale,
on account of the dearth OF houses
that the miners are demanding
that churches and chapels be util-
lied as dwelling-places for those
who are struggling along without
homes

CROWDED

Hotels in Tokyo Packed to
Doors and Steamers
Booked Ahead.

Tokyo, Aug 14.-Those who have
a mind to take a jsunt TO Japan al
present would better postpone their
trip, unless. they are compelled tc
make them. for not only are hotels
throughout the country crowded
but the congestion on passenger
steamers is so bad it is impossible
to get out of Japan unless passage
is booked months in advance.
Many tourists have been forced tC
remain ia China, as they could find
nc accommodations here. While
there are several big hotels under
construction or planned, there ap-
pears to be no immediate prospect
OF relief.
Delegates to the worlds Sunday
school convention. which will be
held there in October, ought TO be,
gin learning japanese house anC
table manners. as the majority oi
them will be Quartered in private
residences OF Japanese on account
of the shortage OF hotel rooms.
Big premiums are being paid for
steamer cabins. and even then there
are few to be had. Many male pas
sengers have been content TO take
any kind of quarters on tthe ship
they could get, some gladly accept
ing steeraEe.
Steamship companies have been
quick to realize the chance TO make
the most OF the congestion. in q
financial way. But the government
has put a monkey-wrench in their
machinery in the form OF a subsidy
preventing them from raising pas
senger and freight fares without
government consent. Although
nearly ali lines have asked for in
creases. their requests have been
invariably turned down.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE classic Euro
pean routes of Americans on sum-
mer excursions have been obliterat-
ed by the war.
Until 1914, Americans set out to
see 1t all in two or three months,
travelling through the British Isles.
Holland, Belgium, Germany cor
ner of Austria, Switzerland. Italy
and Paris. Americans rapidly are
learning that there are absorbing
wonders and beauties other than
the battlefelds, the chateaux coun-
try and Paris itself. This year they
are getting acquainted with the old
Alpine provinces of the Savoie and
Dauphine.
A Weeks Alpine Adventure.
Many Americans resident for
years, even including some Paris
ian correspondents, had never un-
til recently been in the stirring
region of the French Alps. In the
past the majority of tourists who
came to France left it hardly know
ing the existence of Savoie and
Dauphine, how these regions hold
many of the attractions of Swift
zerland, Yosemite and the Italian
lakes in happy combination.
The French Alps have long been
popular resort for English and
French. who pass their holidays
on walking tours and mountain
climbing. both the French and the
English still being great walkers
in spite of the popularity OF the
automobile. Although footing it is
not likely to appeal to many Amer
icans, it is. nevertheless, one of
the most interesting ways to visit
the mountains and. of course, is
the most inexpensive.
Mountain Climbs Inexpensive.
For the real tourist who wants
to see the country and has no time
to climb mountains or to make the
intimate acquaintance of the noun
tain folk there ara PaNs-Lyons-
Mediterranean Railways fourteen
passenger touring cars. These run
over regular routes and are as re-
liable as the trains and not much
more expensive to use. These big
cars follow the valleys and gorges
and traverse scenes of varying
charm, some awesomely rough,
others gorgeously beautiful. They
take you past glittering glaciers in
the shadow of the great Nellie,
over the pass from Dauphine into
Savoie by the next to highest au-
tomobile road in Europe, down into
the valleys and up the hills, far
from habitations and back among
them. wherever there is beauty to
be seen or a thrill to be enjoyed.
