American Tourist Travel Breaks All European Records
But French Business Circle Were Disappointed at Meager Crowds at Olympics
Farie, Sept. 16.—Although French business elecrows were disappointed with the Olympic games because they failed to attract the great foreign crowds antipied, the fact reminds that this season is beating alf records for tourist travel. The Américain intention is remarkable, and in Paris, London and South American countries are contributing big quotas.
It is estimated that American tourists will spend $200,000 in Europe this season. The apex of travel has been reached, but the number of foreigners coming to business from foreigners will boom well into the August months.
The increase in American tourist business is told of by K. B. Brooks, vice-president of the American Express Company. Last year the amount death in by the company is purely based on travelers' earnings, 225,900,000 francs, whereas this year it is anticipated that the amount will reach nearly three billion. He estimates, without passing passage money, that Americans dealing with the company alone will spend well over a billion frames in Europe. He also noted that this has been a fair for in the recent rise of European currencies.
Few Go to Germany
Americans have been spending most of their time in France and Switzerland, with passing vista to England. Only a small minority has gone to Germany this year, probably as a result of the unpleasant treatment accorded Americans there last year. The most accurate figures possible show the number of American students at 300,000, which is a big increase over the corresponding period of last year.
It is calculated by tourist agencies that most Americans spend from about 8,000 francs to amounts running into several thousand francs. In many cases, they spend hundreds of thousands of francs. On an average banks and shipping agents calculate how much French dollars are dispensed upon American payments.
British tourists travel has been increasing ever since the war and this class is represented chiefly by heavy spammers, from Argentina and other countries. In France, mass-murder, up France, and usually visit Belgium, Italy and Spain.
No Olympic Crowds
Owing largely to the emphasis of the French press, Paris anticipated an overwhelming rush during the games, an influx which would swamp the hotels and create a heavy demand for accommodations in persons and private homes. Preparations were made to receive this trade, but it was not until later that the hotels were quite capable of handling all business, and although they were about crowded, the overflow was never seriously noticeable. Furthermore, it quickly became apparent that tourists were not greatly interested in the games. The travel industry largely contented itself with largely content to read the scores in the newspapers, and reserve their time for the bigger idea of seeing France. In this way, the limited season of the games proper was somewhat of a disappointment, but unexpectedly on the year has been repeated. Some of the key keepers and business houses are rapidly recovering from their grief.
Lose Track of Prince
Reporters Unable to Locate H.R.H.Following Party
Xyssett, Long Island, Sept. 16.—The Prince of Wales, although sufferer of a badly infilmed eye, had another night to attend a dinner given by Harrison Williams at his estate at St. Mary's and dancing until an early hour.
Newspapermen lost track of him at the Williams party, but at 10 a.m., he had not returned to the Burden estate where he is stopping. An attendant had no idea what time he might be home.
The Prine had to wear smoked glasses today, and it was forreed he may have a black eye. Physicians found a small piece of gravel under the lid when R. H. R. was struck by a clod thrown by the foot of a polio pony. The gravel was removed and the polio would be all right in a few days.
The Princess positively intends to start for Canada, Sunday, it was said.

Albania's Prime Minister Denounces Expert Plan
(United Press)
Goven, Switzerland, Sept. 10—Dinah Popwell, a Harvard graduate, prime minister of Albania, told the assembly of the League of Nations that she considered the most colossal in modern history. "It is a virtuous, diabetic, informal combination of trouble," he declared. "It is bound to end like a bubble. It is too complicated to work will produce very few reparations."
"I don't know how many billions the Swiss and Belgians hope to get but I hope they get what they want. However, the expert plan inevitably is bound to be referred to the League of Nations."
International Troops Guard Foreign Colony While War Lords Rest
Americans Are Confident That General Chi Will Not Attack Them
Shanghai, China, Sept. 10—Two thousand international troops stood guard today along the boundary of the foreign settlement while the American forces were rested on their arms on the rain soaked battle field awaiting better weather before resuming hostilities. Despite the neatness of the fighting the Americans and other foreign troops at General Chi Bisch Yuan will not permit their quarter to be attacked even if he captures the city. No one is greatly worried, except over the possibility of the leaderless and defended troops of General Lai Shuang to the settlement in case of rout.
The marines have taken every possible precaution at the barricades and strengthened the boundary defences at work points. The international troops have been reinforced by local volunteers and are equipped with six armored cars and many machine guns. The proximate military hub is the helplines not to enter the foreign settlement.
Yesterday's torrential rains, five inches in five hours, halted the fighting.
During Monday's critical fighting Gen. Chi-Hai Yin Huang appeared at a juncture with her crippled General Lui Yung Hsiao's left wing, but the breach not only was narrow one inch wide, but also 20% reinforcement, preventing a route.

Over 190
Weight, height and youth, the three most important physical qualifications, are with the freshman football candidates who turned out 60 strong, for the initial practice in the south end of the athletic field.
Twenty-six of the yearlings are more than six feet tall and 15 of them weigh more than 190 pounds each. The squad as a whole will average more than 160, according to John Bunn, freshman coach. The average age of the men is about 17 years. They abound in the real footballs. The coaches contrate their ability. Having watched the preliminary practice of the Varsity squad, they are eager for an encounter with it.
The largest man on the squid is Leo Laten, tackle, who played last year in the Missouri conference at Missouri Weedman. He is a young giant of 217 pounds, and six feet six inches in height. Another Missouri Weedman player is Wesley Kramer, also takele, weighing 190 pounds. The midgest of the aggregation is "Bob" Bennett of Codar Rapida, Iowa. He is five feet six inches tail and weighs 125 pounds. He is trying out for a half-back berth.
Several Kansas Conference players are trying out. Among these are Harry Ott, quarter at Fairmount last year, "Stony" Wall of Sedan, half at southwestern and Fred Emerson, all-state center on "Doe" Weed's Pittsburgh Normal team two years ago.
Other prominent candidates are Dick Mullins, brother of "Bill" Mul.
