Taxing Americans.

|ERMANS have colorful Dreams it is re-
4 ported, of incomes to be extracted from
pockets of American tourists this summer.
First hotel managers and tradesmen realized
the prospects of increased wealth. Now the
Reichstag it appears, is anxious to get its hand
in the river of gold with tax of ST day for
the privilege of visiting the country.
These reports probably are true. Our former
enemies deserve at least credit for their
frankness. If they intend to rob US they have
given sportsmanlike warning One feels better
when ones purse is taken at the point of revolver
than when sneak thief gets it. The prob
ability is that most European countries visited by
Americans will overcharge even more boldly with
out saying anything about it beforehand.
But by their announced intentions the German
people have displayed their ignorance of American
psychology. They fail to understand what wealth
would come to them from the generosity of Ameri-
tourists if they did not go out of their way
to rob them from the start. The average Yankee
abroad has entirely different conception OF
money values than is held by the people among
whom he travels. Keep the change is natural
expression to him.
The Rhineland Germans during the period OF
occupation understood their American visitors better
and, despite rigid army regulations against dispos-
ing of military property, profted greatly because
of their insight. Other countries where American
troops stationed for the most part utterly
failed to comprehend the mental habits of the
soldiers. AS result most of their tradesmen were
hated bitterly by the men who were forced to deal
with them. And they coping with sharper
intelligences. AS rule they lost heavily before
their dealings were over.
Americans who visit Germany this summer
will be inclined to forget the and to treat the
people friends. If the tradesmen are wise they
will reduce prices everything in their shops.
They may be confident that their fellows in Eng
land, France Italy, Belgium Switzerland or Hol-
land will do exactly the opposite with the result
that a-bitter taste will be left in the mouth of the
average tourist. He will cross the ocean again
with certain amount of hatred for the country
where he was overcharged
What opportunity is here for Germans to
influence American public opinion in their favor

Vagabond Armies.

THEIR occupation and their excuse for ex-
i istence gone, the vagabond troops of Gen.
Baron Wrangel almost without restraint
through the Balkans. Since their flight from the
Crimea officers and men of this army have proved
continual nuisance to the countries where they
have settled. A Russian note has just been dis
patched to Bulgaria protesting against the presence
of these forces, who still possess their arms and
plot new ofensnes.. The Bulgars, however, seem
more snned against than shining through the
presence of these men.
The bulk of the refugees, $4,000 of them,
have settled in Jugo-Savia. Some have found en-
ployment frontier guards. For the most part
they simply have begged living off the country.
Wrangel himself moves about freely through the
Balkans with his staff. Periodically, by way Of
making show of authority, he magnanimously
bestows decorations on the mayors and officials of
towns he visits.
These troops received and have been
allowed to retain their military formations in the
Balkans at the request of the chief allied powers
in the hope that they might form the nucleus of
new white" drive against Russia. They cannot
be anything but source of expense and en-
barrassment to the different governments.
Some time ago the Rumanisn government COM
planned that, contrary to the peace treaty there
still was good deal of war equipment in Bulgaria
Bhere was, and probably still is. That equipment,
however, long before had been surrendered by the
Bulgarians. The inter-allied commission on the
spot had orders not to destroy it but to keep it
intact for use in fresh anti -Bolshevst drive

now thing of the past. Their uselessness has
been demonstrated clearly. The Soviet govern
ment has had little trouble in defeating the most
ambitious of them in the past and there is no reason
to suppose that another would with any better
success. But the white" armies remain. evidently
looking for trouble and certain, eventually, to
find it.

Miss Mae Wyan is to repre-

This conference might we'll be
called the ''home coming" Of the
southern colleges, as it is hero
that girls from the southern
states gather to enjoy the fol

from seventy southern volleges.
We often think of Blue Ridge
as a "bit of Heaven dropped &c
earth, for the surroundings are sc
inspiring that one can scarcely
picture any place more perfect.
The tennis courts, outdoor
swimming pool, volley ball ant
basket ball courts, and the lofty
muntains, robed in their coats Of
macy coors, all add to the SPLEEN
dor of this bit of rugged scenery
in western North Carolina.
The conference consists of ter
days of Bible, social and interna-
tional study, together with plat
form addresses and forum hours
involving the whole Christian
task. The program aims to give
clearer insight into the kind OF

al and social living, and to afford
