WATERS FLOOD LONDON
Foreigners Are Taking Place of the
Real Good Old Fashioned British
Waters, Londoners Report.

London, Feb. 2S.-The British wait.
or is gradually disappearing, and for
eigners are taking his place. This is
particularly noticeable in Soho anG
some of the leading West End res.
taurants which are managed by Ital-
ians Greeks and Polish Jews who
prefer walters of their own race rath-
er than the Englishman.
During the war Soho became al
most English in character, but of late
the foreign invasion has changed CON
ditions. Foreign managers naturally
help their own countrymen, but an
other reason is found in the fact that
foreigners will work for considerably
less money than the average English
man. There are also waiter agencies
which find jobs for the foreigner in
the smaller "off street" restaurants
and collect high fees from the appli-
cant as well as take a proportion OF
his weekly earnings. If these are not
paid regularly their employees are in
formed and the waiter loses his job.
