TOURTS REPORTS ONFRANCE LSRN Stories Expected to Sway Attitude of Congress on Debts and World Court. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. According to reports received here, German tourists in Paris this Sum- mer and on the Riviera last Winter were guilty of more ostentatious #pending than were the Americans. These facts are leading to a deeper consideration of the recent anti- \merican outbursts. President Cool- idge himself has been half inclined to blame unthinking Americans for flour- ishing their plethoric the faces of the impoveris The President has gone so far as to ask American travelers to be more careful. 5 + But when it is learned the Ger- mans who have been able to visit France during the past year have spent and lived on a far more elabo- rate scale than the average American, 1t is very evident that the outbreaks were not directed at Ameri spend- ing, but at the nation as a whole be- cause of its debt attitude. A Washingten doctor and his wife, just back from IFrance, say they had 1o flee the French capital in fear of their lives. They rench gen- darmes were complacent over the ill treatment of Americans. A sight- seeing bus filled with Americans was 1urned over in the presence of the yolice, who made no effort to render assistance, it is clalmed. This re- port has added somewhat to the serfousness of the situation, but the more formal reports as to German spending have given the most Inter- esting angle to the French psychol- ory or lack of psychology. Germans Demanded Luxuries. It is ‘true there have been more American tourists in Parls this Sum- mer than ever before. It Is also true there have been more American visi- tors to France than Germans. But on the Riviera last Winter it was differ- ent. Americans who spent the cold ason there say the Germans were . in the ascendancy and that they de- manded more luxuries than even the richest Americans. The French peo- ple seemed to fraternize with the Ger- mans In a spirit of real camaraderie, while Americans were treated in a manner that was stifly polite, to say the least, The Washington physi Repetti, just back from ian, Dr. Fred firms the Winter reports a Germans by saving that this Summer in Paris German tourists everywhere ' were treated with far more considera- tion than the Americans. Jiven on a trip to the hattleflelds, Dr. Repetti de- clared, the Germans were shown around with the utmost courtesy, while the Americans at times were cven jeered Government officials on duty here in Washington are fearful that re- ports similar to those given by Dr. Repetti will be repeated many times when the tourist tide turns homeward, | and feel that much ill will toward This feel reflected fn Con nd will make further debt deal- ith France all the more dif The recent outburst of “Tiger Clemencean did not help the situation by any means, and now each story of returning Am fuel to the fire World Court Involved.

First Playhousé Located. According to a writer in the Path- finder, the first playhouse or theater in the United States swas located in Williamsburg, Va. Tt was built in 1716 during the regime of the colo- nial governor, Alexander Spottswood. Charles Stagg and his wife, Mary, es- sentially dancers, contracted with Willilam Levingston for the theater. Nome years before, in 1665, the court in Virginia acted as play censor also, having passed judgment on a per- * formance of “Ye Rare and Ye Cub” 1o satisfy a complaint that the cos. iumes were objectionable. The court found nothing ubjectionable, however. SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and_ Sailings From New York, Daylight Saving Time. ARRIVED. nelgeniand—Antwerp aronia—Southampton lus—Limon ... ...

By Cable to *The Star and Chicago Daily News. MEXICO CITY, August 16.—Amer: icans arriving in Mexico City by way of El Paso and Laredo today brought tales of unusual vigilance on the part of the Mexican government customs and immigration agents at the border. It is understood that these have been ordered to enforce an _airtight embargo on firearms and to frustrate | the frequently reported plots to re- enter the country of several well known military feudists whose inter- est in past revolutionary moves ha cost them their residence in Mexico. Travelers also reported what they call the careful distribution of federal troops at strategic points throughout the provinces, where, it is admitted by high government officials, fighting in the religious war has taken place. Evidence of military maneu- vering is to be witnessed from nearly every important railway junction, they said. Only travelers from the United States with the soundest kind of passport credentials are being allowed to remain for any period on _this side Literally an army of soldiers of fortune attracted to' of the Rio Grande. the real | Mexico City by the prospect of in- ternal trouble over the government controversy with the Roman camuue{ Church have been turned back within a week. According to passengers on the La- redo-Mexico City express, federal of- ficers boarded the train on the Mex- ican side of the border, and made a thorough search for what was belleved to be concealed shipments of weapons. Besides ransacking the personal lug- gage of the tourists they ripped up the carpets in the Pullman, pulled the seats apart, and tapped on the wood- work for indications of a hiding place. This search was fruitless. (Copyright. 1926. by Chicago Daily News Co.) Cas le Being Restored.
