U. S. TOURISTS
ABROAD SUFFER
HOMESICKNESS
Many Travellers Unhappy,
Due to Strange Food
and Language.

United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, July 19.-Any waiter in
the so-called American restaurants
around town, the mail clerks in the
tourist Offices, the Anglicised drink
dispensers in the cocktail bars will
tell you that the melancholy days
have come. Melancholy days for
melancholy tourists.
The boats no sooner start to dump
their cargOeS of vacationists at
Cherbourg and Havre than hundreds
of them begin to count the days I'M
til they sail again. Many are the
tourists who never surmount the OBJ
stacle of tuning in an American ear
on a 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 d.
gested hundreds Of pounds of travel
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 it.
You can see dozens of tourists
standing like lost sheep outside the
American Express Company. Just be-
hind the Opera, before the doors Of
the steamship companies and in the
lobbies of the American banks. They
have seen Paris and its suburbs by

autocar in three days and are ready
to go home.
They have their troubles, as fol-
lows:
Inability to make the language
grade;
Can't get used to currencies;
Don't like the foreign cooking;
Can't get good American coffee;
Pure ennpi; nothing to do;
HomeSick.
The chieG complaint in the res
taurants is about the coffee. Sew
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 doris de'oeuvres which
they find to contain meal in itself

FRANK 3. MOORE
 PASSES AT sITKA

A telegram received yesterday by Ludwig Larson from Sitka contained the sad information that Frank B. Moore, former townsman, had passed away in the Pioneers Home, in Sitka, where he had been living for the last two years.
 Burial was scheduled for the 29th, tomorrow, the message said, with interment in the Pioneers cemetery.
 MT. Moore was engaged in the decorating business in this city for number of years until he was afflicted with a peculiar mal- ady which rendered him almost helpless. Two trips were made to specialists in the states but no improvement was noted. A year after his return from his last attempt to regain his health, and after all local treament and hos pital attention failed to make any marked improvement, he decided to enter the Sitka Home for the Pioneers of Alaska.
 He was a member of the Seward Lodge of the IO.OF.,, Rebekahs. and also of the local igloo, Pio- neerS of Alaska.

VILLAGERS ROUTED
BY BIG HORN FLOOD
Hundreds Return to GreybuII,
Wyo., After Nights Refuge
in Mountains.
By the Associated Press.

GREYBULL, Wyo, March IL
Forced by rampaging flood waters from
the Big Horn River to abandon their
homes In the dead of night, hundreds of
citizens of this little Oil town yesterday
returned to take toll of their property
damage after spending the night in the
refuge of the nearby mountains One
life was lost and property damage
amounting to approximately 100000
was left in the wake of the flash flood"
which rolled over the sleeping cit. Sat-
urday night, when an Smile ice gorge
In the river backed the water into the
streams and inundated homes.
A Japanese boy was struck down and
killed by 1notorist which was making
a hasty exit from the town to the hills
to escape the rushing waters.
Under 4 Feet of Water.
Late Saturday night the gorge formed
south of Greybull in Sheep Canyon
Big Horn Rivers. Gradually the water
backed up until more than feet of
water flooded the town streets.
The residents had not been caught
fully unawareS. Flood conditions were
expected and an alarm was sounded,
which caused the 1900 inhabitants to
start a hurried exodus to the hills.
Many went to Basin, the nearest
town, 8 miles, where they received ac-
commodations in homes and hotels.
More than 200 were cared for in Mid
west Oil Refinery and hundreds of
others spent the night in automobiles
on the mountains overlooking the CITY,
One of the few to remain in Grey
bull, besides the telephone operators
was Elizabeth Wiley, known as the
Fighting Woman Mayor" of Greybull
She refused to leave the city, even when
conditions were apparently serious.
Bombs Dropped by Plane.
When it became evident there was
no possibility of immediate relief. an
airplane was sent from Cody, Wyo..
with explosives to be dropped on the
ice jam. The plane travelled over the
entire 8-mile stretch, dropping several
bombs, and succeeded in breaking 1t I'D.
Within two hours the water receded
from Greybull streets.
While the Greybull Fire Department
was bloodhound in its building several
fires broke out and number of DWELL
ings burned to the ground. Most of the
houses in the northern part of Greybull
were carried from their foundations by
the flood waters.
Every dwelling in both the residential
and business district was flooded Rail-
road tracks north of Greybull were
washed out. An appeal was made for
Red Cross assistance.

I have been master of the America
nearly a year and was indeed proud
when assigned to her. for I had pre-
viously been navigating officer of the
liner during the war when she was in
that capacity had one of the most in
teresting voyages of my career.
With the rank of lieutenant I was
appointed navigating officer of the
America in August, 1918. The vessel
piled regularly between Brest and New
York, carrying troops, first to Europe.
and then participated in the homeward
movement.
On one of the former trips an in
fuenza epidemic started on board, re-
sulting in 90 deaths. The bodies of the
men were all taken to Brest as the Off
GERS decided not to conduct burials at
sea. Every one on the ship at that time
was more or less affected, but the situ-
cal corps and the epidemic stemmed
before We actually reached our desti-
nation.
Aside from this incident the America
was fairly lucky during her career as a
transport. as she was never attacked by
a submarine, although the doughboys
were given number of scares.
Troops Out Of Russia.
In January, 1920, the America started
on cruise of the world to help carry
some of the Czechoslovakian troops out
of Siberia About 100000 of these troops
had been three years in crossing Russia
and were in Vladivostok. Each of the
allied nations had assigned several
transports to aid in their transporta-
ton. We left New York for Manila
with large gun and tugboat dashed
to the Americas decks, proceeding by
way of the Panama Canal.
eW called at San Francisco for coal
and fresh water. Five days out we
sighted a sailing ship bound for America.
This schooner had been ITO days under
sail and had run out of provisions and
water. They signalled us and We stopped.
A boat was lowered by the schooner and
in short time they were alongside. We
gave them food and water and pro-
ceeded. The expressions of gratitude
from these men shall never forget, for
they saw little hope of ever reaching
port, having been beclamed for a month
and existing under a scorching sun on
sips of water that was quickly disap-
pearing.
After calling at Manila and at sew
eral other ports for fuel, we reached
Vladivostok, where we took aboard the
usual $500 troops, including the wives

While he now enjoys most OF the
privileges accorded any foreigner re-

Trotsky has pledged himself not to or
ganize any demonstration. The same
guards attend him, and the difficulty
of keeping him isolated in the crowded
hotel would seem to point to imminent
departure from Turkey. 1t was believed
that the authorities would have pre-
ferred that he rent private house If
he was to make an extended stay here.
The transfer from the consulate to

secrecy that marked his arrival in
