=4 L/ NO-ROOM -ABROAD FOR SIGHTSEERS Admonition to Americans Who Contemplate Touring the Battlefields. LONDON EVEN NOW CROWDED Those Who Think ef Going Are Ad: vised to. Be Sure of Quarters, Be- fore - Starting—2,000,000 Are Planning to-Make Trip. New. York.—Americans who contem- plate .visiting the ,battlefields in Eu- rope next spring or summer will be well advised to secure their hotel ac- commodation. well in advance or to postpone their journey until conditions are more favorable. ; Percy S. Bullen, treasurer of the Assoclation of For- eign Press Representatives in the Uni- ted States, who has just returned to New York, says that London even now cannot @nd room for visitors and that the stac¢e =~ affairs when the floodgates of tou :»¢ invasion are again open will be appalling unless the intending American visitors are forewarned and therefore forearmed. It is estimated that some 2,000,000 * persons—one for each man sent to Burope by the United States during the war—are making plans for a transatlantic trip In . the next two years. . Their chief object is to see the historic spots where the American soldiers fought—the Argonne forest, Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel—and to devote such a period to a visit to Eng- land as time and funds will permit. [ Mr. Bullen has been all over the h western front during the last few ‘weeks and he predicts nothing but anger, Irritation and despair as the lot of any visitors who trust to luck to secure hotel accommodations. No Steps Yat Taken. The difficulty of the situation will be realized when it {s remembered that the usual flow of tourists to Europe has been completely suspend- ed during the war and that only those among the wealthiest will have the first chance of securing hotel accom- modation when the bars against tour- ist travel shall have been removed. L] So far no steps whatsoever have been taken abroad to meet an unusual . influx of visitors. Mr. Bullen was so ’ . impressed with the difficulty threat- ened in London that he prepared a memorandum on the subject, which he submitted at a recent meeting of the ‘WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1919 « Royal Colonial institute in London. In the discussion which ensued it was proposed that steps be taken for the formation in London of a national committee of reception. As a nucleus of the organization it was proposed that representatives of the varlous Anglo-American societies should meet, with power to add to their number various representatives whose experi- ence would be useful in solving the problem now presented. Such persons would include members of the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce in London and other Americans, besides leading Britishers. Plan Suggested. The. first essential step is to mo- bilize and list all available accommo- dation provided by hotels and board- ing houses, and then enlist the assist- ance of every householder willing to place a room at the disposal of the committee of reception. If this plan matures London’ will keep in touch with New York on the question of ac- .commodations and people in the Uni- ted States will. be advised as to the .best time to travel and the chances of securing accommodation at reasonable rates. At the time Mr. Bullen left Liv- erpool nothing actually had been done except to call attention to the prob- lem and the dissatisfaction which will ensue if American visitors to England and France next year find themselves absolutely stranded, as is threatened. Belgium is apparently well able to take care of visitors to the Belgian battlefields, mainly because Y¥pres, Dixmude and the much battered coast towns are all within easy range of Ostend, Bruges and Ghent. Of all the battlefields visited, Mr. Bullen de- clares Ypres is the “most devastated,” but, with its memories of heroic fight- ing extending from Ypres down the Mennen and Poelcappelle roads, “is beautiful in its ruins.” Ostend I8 probably the best center for automo- bile parties, and the burgomaster of Ostend 1§ one of the few men prepar- Iing to deal with an unexampled de- mand for hotel accommodations. ~— Some rail. .

JOHNSON HAD T0 SIT UP ALL NIGHT LONG Could Hardly Breathe—Ten Years Trouble Ends After He Takes Tanlac “After taking Tanlac I feel better than I have in years,” said C. P. Johnson, a switchman for the Twin THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER City Traction Co., who lives at 2511 Twenty-fifth ave., South, Minneap- olis, Minn., to a Tanlac representative recently. “For ten years I suffered with the worst sort of stomach trouble,” he continued. “I had a very poor ap- petite and could hardly eat a thing and what little I did manage to force down would sour and gas would form and press against my heart so I could hardly breathe, and often I could not lie down on account of this and would have to sit up all night long, and I would bloat terribly, and have awful cramps. I had pains in the small of my back and my head ached nearly all the time, and I also had the rheuma- tism something awful in my hip joints that hurt me so I could hardly get about. “I had read so much about Tanlac I.decided to try it. Well, at first I did not see much improvement in my condition, but I kept on taking mamARASARARAASASA L s AR AR A AN it until I had taken three bottles, when I began to get a great deal better, and after it once started to help me it gave me quick and last- ing results. My appetite is good and I can eat anything I want without suffering any bad after effects. I am never troubled with gas or have any difficult in breathing. The pains in my back and the rheumatism in my hips have all stopped, and I never know what it is to have the headache now. I am stronger and have more energy and my work does not tire me any to speak of, and I sleep better than I have in years. I am a great believer in Tanlac and never miss an opportunity to tell others about it.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, in Baudette by J. Williams, and in Thorhult by P. M. Swanson. Bridge Work ...
