Europe Opens Its Doors
 Whenever Tourists Knock

LONDON, Apr. 16.-Each year the invading summer swarms of Ameri- can tourists arrive earlier and ear- lier upon the shores of England and France Once upon a time the wave of travellers did not reach it's crest until mid-July, and after the war the traffic got in full swing by mid-June, immediately the schools and colleges were out. This year there are indi- cations that almost as many Amer jeans will disembark with their lit tie guidebooks at European ports in May as used to come in June.
 The steamship companies are hap py at the prospect of the tourist talk ing an early start. For there are always enough passengers eastward in June and July to fill every cabin to capacity. This year all the com. panies report heavy bookings for May, and one has announced for the benefit of Britons visiting Amer. ica who desire to come home for the London summer social season that every ship is booked to the , limit out of New York during the month of May, as we'll as in June and July. This is as true of the
 third class college cabins" as of
 the more expensive quarters.
