Stimson Busy
 Washington. July 24 P-Secre- fary Stimson has concentrated On getting something done" in the ef- fort to avert war between China and Russia with little or no thought of diplomatic traditions. but as far as he is aware he has given no ground for any feeling in Japan that the Tokyo government has been sighted.
 News advices from Tokyo saying such feeling prevailed there and that it was based on lack of notiti- cation to the Japanese government, despite it's paramount interest in the Manchurian situation, of the secretary's quick move to remind the Chinese and Russian govern ments of their obligations under the { Kellogg treaty, are described by him as unfounded.
 Ambassador Debuchi was inform ed of the action the day it was l taken, he recalls, and Japan has | taken similar steps looking to the 1 preservation of peace in the Far 1 East. adding it's voice to that of the United States and France in the reminder to both Russia and China 1 that they have renounced war as l national policy.

The Citizens Union represents . group of conservative, thoroughly practical citizens. Their indictment of Walker is neither bitter nor vi- triolic. They appreciate the extra ordinary personal qualities of the man. and lots of them know him well and like him.
 It once was rumored that Walker would be given g $10O.000 job in 1880 as president of the American League. The Citizens Union would love to see Walker offered that or some other fat plummy job that would give him an opportunity to exercise his unique talents, and keep him before the public. as he should be.
 But right now. it looks mighty tough for any candidate who dares to run against him this fall.

MELANCHOLY TAKES
 TOURIST VICTIMS
Homeickness and Lack of Good Coffee Start Many HomeVard

Paris, June es tUP)-Any waiter in the so-called American restau- rants around town. the mail-clerks in the tourist offices, the Angllcised drink dispensers in the cocktail bars will tell you that the melan- choly days have come. Melancholy days for melancholy tourists.
 The boats no sooner start to dump their cargoes of vacationists at Cherbourg and Havre. than hun dreds of them begin to count the days until they sail again. Many are the tourists who never sur mount the obstacle of tuning in an American ear on French tongue.
 Take any group of 100 tourists and more than half of them are ready to go back home, and the sooner the better. Many of them have dreamed for years of trip to Europe, have digested hundreds of pounds of travelling literature.' or have skimped to meet the fare. But the minute they get away from home they find that there was something to the slogan, and that, after all. there's no place like 1t.
 You can see dozens of tourists standing like lost sheep outside the American Express company. just behind the opera. before the doors of the steamship companies and in the lopbles of the American banks. | They have seen Paris and its sub urbs by autocar in three days and are ready to go home.
 Why's and Whercfcrcs
 They have their troubles, as fol- lows:
 Inability to make the language grade;
 Can't get used to currencies:
 Don't like this foreign cooking;
 Can't get good American coffee: Pure ennui; nothing to do; Homesick.
 The chief complaint in the res taurants is about the coffee. Sev- eral restaurant owners have gone so far as to import the popular brands of American coffee, but even then the cooks spoil it before it gets into the cup.
 The French menu is a stumbling block to many who never get any farther than hors d'oeuvres which they find to contain a meal in itself French chicken, somehow, just doesn't taste like Maryland fried, and even the French fried potatoes in France don't taste like the rx,;1 the melancholy tourists will tell you that there is not a single cook be- tween the Channel and the Mediter- ranean who can fry ham and eggs.
 But there are other tourists who enjoy a real vacation abroad, They may know but ten words of any language but they get by. and you often meet them engaged in serious conversation on deep subjects and hurling their ten words about with expressive gestures. and getting hy.
 Students to Fore
 The steamship companies have just prepared statistics to show that while the trek of American tourists to Europe is increasing every year. there are more and more students and less of the laden spend- CTS. From 1926 to 1928. there was an increase of IT per cent in sum- mer travel of American to Europe, and ttis year there will be at least 10 per cent more than in 1928.
 The students manage to get by on $400 or less. while the European hotelowners and shopkcepers have for years based their tourist prices on the American who sails from home with $3.000 or more in his pocket. The result is that Europe
