GREAT CHANGE
SEEN IN EUROPE
American Tourists Will
Note Much Improvement
Over Last Year.

Paris, March 24.-American tour
lists who visit Europe in the coming
season will find it generally much
changed over last year, greatly re-
covered from the effects of the war
and prepared to give almost normal
accommodation in hotels, transporta-
ton and luxury in food.
The prices will be, with the ad-
vantage Of exchange with American
money, about the same as in Ameri-
ca. The chief increase over the pre-
war costs of touring Europe will be
hat of ocean transit, with some in
crease in rail transportation. Persons
able to travel de luxe will find their
expenses about on a par with the
in America.
The chief points Of interest to tour
lists are expected to be the battle
fields. and for this persons will find
the roads, in France especially, in
better condition even than before the
war The railway trains are running
on time and are rapidly approaching
normal.
The fee for passport vises for
Americans in most countries is $40
and the number Of vises for touring
remains about the same as during the
war, but the French government has
just lessened somewhat the severity
Of its restrictions. The French will no
longer require card of identity for
tourist remaining in the country
less than two months. The require
ment for prefecture Of police wise
for leaving France has been removed
The passport requirements of the
various nations on the continent are
said by recent travellers to be much
less trying than last year-hardly
more so than customs formaltties Of

States. 1t is desirable, however. fol
