A MEXICAN tourists have dis
II played the most astonishing
activity during the last week..
despite the oppressive heat. Every
motor lorry that drives away from the
various assembling points Under der
IAnden carries full complement Of
eager sightseers, and the hotel lounges
and restaurants present deserted as
pect during the lunch and tea hours.
Potsdam is still the chief objective
OF these excursions and seems to
make as strong an appeal as in the
pre-war days, when it's palaces and
parks were the homes and haunts of
a royalty not defunct. They go into
the same raptures as of yore over the
park at Sans Souci. This famous park
is at its best in the marvellous mor.th
of May" when every bush and tree is
bursting into bloom. The lilacs Of
Sans Souci are quite as famous in
their way as the rhododendrons of
Kew Gardens.

strong preference for the terraced res
taurant at the Geological Gardens,

given by two extremely good military
bands.

at Rheinsberg, in the heart of the So
called Switzerland of tho Mark Of
Erandenburg" and from there to Nauen
where they inspected Germany's huge
wireless station. DR.. Janss, who is a
native of the province of Schleswig-
Holstein, went to America as a boy and
nay be considered one of the pioneer
citizens Of modern Los Angeles, having
opened up tract of $4,000 acres and
brought the water for irrigation pur-
poses $50 miles.

prices for foreigners. especially Amer
leans, now prevailing in certain parts
ce Germany. While recognizing the JUS
tice of certain differentiations she thinks
that in the case Of Bavaria, for in
stance, prospective American tourists
should be informed when securing their
wise for Germany from the German
consular agents IN the United States
what they may expect in the way Of
Irices and taxations. In this way large
rumbers Of travellers of modest means
would be spared the unpleasant dis
covery after arriving in Germany Of
having entirely mscalculated the ex-
penses connected with the carrying out
OF their itinerary.
