formidable rival to William Randolph Hearst.
 The retirement of Gen. Felix Agnus l as publisher of the Baltimore Ameri- can, which was probably due to. his advanced age, removes a picturesque figure from American journalism. He has had most interesting and varied career. He was born at Lyons, France, and began his newspaper work abroad. He was volunteer under Napoleon III during the Franco-Austrian war and also served under Garibaldi. Coming to the United States in 1860, he fought in the Civil war, enlisting as a sergeant in Duryea's Fifth New York Zouaves and being promoted until he became brigadier-general of volunteers in 1865. He is now 81 years old, but no newspaper publisher was more active or more patriotic than General Agnus during the World war. Unlike some small town bankers. Warren G. Harding has a legible sig nature which posterity will have no difficulty in reading on state docu- nnents.

NOW STUDY ALIEN TONGUES
erIand Fills Language Schools
in Germany.

Berlin.-FOreign language schools
are buster in Berlin than they have
ever been before, the underlying de-
sire of the pupils being to leave the
fatherland for possibly happier shores.
Virtually everybody is learning Eng
lish with Spanish a good second, both
languages being popular with prospec-
tive emigrants to North and South
America.
French is mostly studied by women
with a penchant for culture and the
Scandinavian languages seem to be
popular with stock exchange and bank
clerks. Contrary to expectation, there
is very little demand for Russian and
still less for Turkish, which enjoyed
a brief spell Of popularity during the
war.

SEE AMERICA FIRST
Conditions in Europe Not Attrac-
tive to Tourists.
Poor Hotel Accommodations and
Scarcity of Food Keep Ameri-
cans at Home.

Acknowledgements of "See
America First ideas will find consola-
ton in the stories reaching the Unit
ed States of conditions in Europe
which tend to discourage going
abroad this year. One Of the big OBJ
stacles to tourists of foreign lands is
the lack of transportation facilities.
Throughout the continent rolling stock
is at a premium and passenger serv-
ice is badly crippled.
While conditions in France and Eng
land are not pleasant for the tourist,
eastern and southern Poland and parts
Of Germany are even less attractive
Typhoid fever and spotted fever have
come over the borders Of Soviet Rus
STA into Poland, and the food situa-
ton adds to the distress there.
Tourists to Europe this summer will
find that they did not leave high
prices at home, for the Europeans
have boosted the prices Of nearly ev-
erything which is to be sold to Amerl-
can tourists. This is most noticeable
in Germany, where the practice OF dis
eliminating against Americans is ram
pant. Much of the same discrimination
exists in England and France, al
though the governments are doing ev-
erything to check it.
For many months Europe has suf-
fered from the effects of the unfavor-
able rate Of foreign exchange in en-
deavoring to buy commodities in the
United States, and the American tour
list is now paying some Of that deficit.

New PARASITES in Town.

Paris, Ky.-Queer things happen In
Paris since prohibition went into eff
feet. A month ago a skunk leisurely
trotted two blocks down Main street,
peacefully wagging it's tail, and was
unmolested. Last week a rabbit was
chased the entire length of the main
thoroughfare and this week boys
chased a squirrel down the same street
to the top of telephone pole.
