The present rush is somewhat OF a

been supposed that many European

Bookings show that there is an UNI

happens soon after the schools close,

Stewards on returning trips report that
the travelling crowds are quite as lavish
as usual and there has been no tighten

travellers say they have observed no

Travel to Germany is apparently

always means a big bulge of surplus

proves that section.
