AMERICANS NOT
Being GOUGED
Prof. R. w. Kirkbride Tells
of Living Conditions in
France
PRICES BELOW
UNITED STATES

Special to The Evening Journal
NEWARK, July 2s.-Professor r.
W. Kirkbride o fthe University OF
Delaware who is doing research
work this summer at Univirsite' de
la sorbonne in Paris, France in a
letter to a friend here says that
living conditions in France have
improved considerably over last
summer and that food is plentiful
and reasonable in price He denies
that American tourists are being
gouged In France. In part Professor
Kirkbride says:
Living conditions in France are
considerably improved over last year.
The train service Is increased at
least SO per cent and in some cases
Ia doubled. The various hotels taken
over by the American and English
army authorities during the war are
now back in private hands thus re-
lieving the scarcity Of hotel rooms
Food is plentiful and very reason
able in price.
THE article which went the
rounds of American newspapers in
May, describing the terrible price
gouging expenses awaiting American
travellers in France is a falsehood.
Prices run about 40 per cent. cheap
er than in America Railroad fare,
for instance. is less than cents a
mile. Buses in Paris are cents A
meal that costs $3.50 in the States
costs 10 francs here, or so cents at
the present rate OF exchange. A hair
cut costs u cents in the ordinary
shop. and 16 cents in the de luxe
places
AN even more vicious lie was cir
culated about the same time to the
effect that tourists and foreign resi-
dents in France were to be taxed 6
francs CAS- cents) a day for the privi-
lege Of staying in France. There is
no tax on foreign tourists whatever
and none was ever proposed.
Last years formality of registra-
tion is suspended. The tourist or bus

without any annoyance whatever,
and no visa is needed to leave
