A AMSTERDAM, Holland, July 23.-
~ Among all the athletes from
"A every section of the world here
4 i for the Olympic games the
American contingent remains
the most conspicuous.
Crowds of Dutch youngsters trail the
athletes through the streets, the girls
In particular attracting much atten-
ton Police had to dispose of a crowd
which gathered about two girls who
appeared in the streets bare-legged,
their rolled-down stockings clinging
about their ankles. Amsterdam is a
staid and conservative city Nothing
like that ever has been seen here be-
fore.
The Americans, officials and athletes
alike. are encountering an unexpected
difficulty in knowing whom to tip in
Holland. Having heard that Europeans
expect tips for every service rendered,
they preferred to err on the side of
overriding tipping and thereby have
provoked several humorous incidents
Thus the general manager of one
cable company personally boarded the
President Roosevelt as courtesy to the
Americans to deliver several dozen mes
sages. He was surprised and embar-
raised when well meaning Americans
tried to slip him silver "dobbeltjes" and
"quartjes"-10 and Is cent pieces.
On another occasion five of the Amer
leans, invited for a spin by auto about
Amsterdam and its environs, liked the
well hammered English-speaking chauf-
feur so well they raised 10 guilders or
81 among them and offered it at the
end of the ride only to learn to mutual
embarrassment that the supposed chauf-
feur was high city official, who out
of veneration for things American had
placed his car at their service.
Uncle Sans athletic representatives
have been surprised and pleased TO find
that every Dutchman speaks some Eng
lish, many of them perfect Anglo-Saxon.
Visitors go anywhere and everywhere
without the slightest difficulty. So gen.
orally is English spoken by Dutchmen
