By Harold E Scarborough
LONDON, July 20.

LONDON, July 20.
BOUT two days after the war
ended, back In 1918, the
~ London papers began TO
- speculate on the great post
var rush OF American tourists" The
sumner Of 1919 went By with hardly
a trace Of a Down East twsng disturb
ing the serenity Of Piceadilly.
In the spring Of 1920 The scribes
oiled up their typewriters and went TO
II again. Same result
In 1921 they were . BIT shaken, and
held their prophesies down to modest
figures. Probably not more than five
million tourists, or some such insig-
niheant figure, would be here. Yet
1921, with such a summer as England
hadn't known for hundred years, saw
comparatively few Americans.
Never mind" the boys In Fleet
Street said. They'll come sooner or
later"
And they have. There is, OF course,
not enough shipping In the world to
bring the number Of rich Americans
predicted In the English newspapers
each spring. There are not that many
rich Americans, either. II Ia the old
story Of Mark Twain and the Paris
exhibition over again. Nevertheless,
make no mistake about Il: the Amer
ican rush Is here.
It's like home again TO hear, IN res
taurants, a request for "Check, please"
The Englishman asks for bill. It Is
soothing 70 see headwaiters, as ancient
as the musty ale and cheese they used
to serve, shamefaeedly supplying
pitchers Of ice water. 1t Is like old
times 70 read in the newspapers ad-
vertisements commencing:
american tourists: Fine old thir-
teenth century home in Blimpshire, to
be let furnished at q reasonable fig
ure."
Gum Chewing IL Heard
Once Again in London
Once again the sound Of jaws MUNICH
ing gum is heard in the Tower Of Lon
don, and the reflection Of the sun from
the tortoise-shell speetaeles In the
Strand is almost binding.
That last. perhaps, is a bit over
drawn, but, you see, have been read
ing some London newspaper articles on
the American INVASION and the ordi-
nary British journalist can no more
conceive an American minus horn spec

the political honors list were submitted
TO him by the patronage secretary
the chief whip-no Prime Minister
knew whether any Of the proposed re-
cipients Of honors had or had not con-
iributed TO the party funds. But party
funds were necessary TO the maintc-
nance Of political organizations, with
out which there would be political
chaos; and the fact that a man had
made gifts 10 party funds ought not in
itself TO be bar to the eonferment
Of an honor upon him.
The position is put plainly enough
in the comments OF papers as far OPP
posed as "The Daily Chronicle" and
The Westminster Gazette" the former
practically a government organ, the
latter the chief mouthpieee Of the Lib
cral opposition. "The right TO advise
the crown as 10 the bestowal OF hon
ors," says "The Daily Chronicle"
belongs 10 and Is exercised by the
Prime Minister alone. Many Of them
are bestowed for Official services, and
about that no question is raised. The
point Of criticism comes when the
qualifying services are Of 4 less specific
type. Among such qualifications II has
been customary for moro than two cen
turtles TO include services 20 the
political parties; and these may take
the form, among many others, Of con-
tributions to party funds" Declaring
that few democraeies are or ever have
been so free from corruption as mod
ern Britain, the government paper adds
that undoubtedly one Of the reasons
Of this purity is that "the system OF
comforting honors enables governments
and parties TO live without selling the
public interest"

Comtesse de Castiglione. Countess
Castiglione. who was one Of the most
beautiful women Of the Second Empire
and who played a mysterious role at
the court Of Napoleon III. died at
very advanced age in an apartment
Of the Rue st. Honore, 70 which she
had retired. The only pleasure Of her
old age was her food, and every day
she noted down the meals which we're
served TO her and the culinary erpendi-
lures she had made. Now, In these
notes among others. the following
restaurant bill Is found, which is rather
amusing, because the restaurant In

~ bed of the ocean has
~ been dug between France
- and America from 8 con-
jugal point Of view"
This is the pointed though some
what overdrawn conclusion Of Count
Andre de Beauverger, who has taken
his pen in hand here TO register par
ticular satisfaction that, aside from
Miss Gordon's marriage with the Duke
Dues, there have been practically no
marriages between American heiresses
and French noblemen since the war.
Beauverger is socially prominent and
takes a firm stand against selling the
coronet which has so often proved a
delusion and a snare not only for the
buyer but also for the vendor.
The slump in the Franco-American
marriage market is due to two things,
says the count, a change Of fashion in
the United States and a lack Of conf
denee on the French side. Many
Frenchmen, he cites, have been deceived
after the bargain had been concluded
in the church. hence the lack Of conf
dence. The American millionaire who
allowed his daughter TO marry title
just 20 please her and then refused TO
pay the bills Of the titled son-in-law
is somewhat responsible for this lack
\ OF confidence, the count believes. And
\ he goes on 10 say that there are enough
Misunderstanding between married
couples without bringing in the factors
Of different race, education and Gus
toms, which only tend to complieate
matters.
French Anstocraey Lacks
Brillianey. II Is Feared
The daughters Of the kings Of
petroleum, canned goods and steel"
De Beauverger writes, "love that which
sparkles. and they have decided that
the French aristocraey lacks brilliancy.
The ducal families are rare and the
title Of prince is almost non-existent
in France.
THAT Is why the marriage craze
was carried from France TO Italy.
There you can meet princes at every
step. Furthermore, the Italian princes
all have brilliant positions, either
ranks in the army, functions at the
Quirinal or the Vatican; and the court
positions, with the beautiful uniforms
that 20 with them, have a singular
charm for democratic hearts.
Then the war came on. American
men put on uniforms, which, although
not 30 striking, looked just as we'll
around the tea table. They dressed
in khaki, though remained business
men, and the milliOnaires' daughters
enjoyed this superiority Of their com
patriots.

They are not concerning war,

Radio Helps Fishermen
 Find Herring at Sea

Gothenburg, Dec. 28.-The radio phone is becoming a serious menace to the safety of the herring off the Swedish coast The fishermen out at sea soon will be told from the Goth enburg radio central the exact loca- ton of the herring schools. This unique service, which will tend to eliminate wastefuI waiting on the part of fishermen, and will doubtless mean a considerable increase in the catches of herring, is the newest com mercial use to which the wireless tel ephone will be put in Sweden, accord ing to plans just completed.
 While merchant vessels have for some time been required by law to carry wireless equipment, the smaller fishing vessels have hitherto operated without systems of communication with the land. They will now receive weather reports, forecasts, and news as well as the radio tips regarding the appearance of the herring.
 Plans are on foot to distribute news in Sweden by radio telephone Ex- periments are being made from Stockholm as a center
