LONG TRIP ABROAD €. H. Chamberlain Visited 12 * Gountries in the 0ld World Charles H: Chamberiain of 19 For- est strect, this city arrived home Wed- nesday from a trip ihrough Europe and Africa during which he visited 12 countries and spent several da,s at Mente Carlo, Ypres and City oi Naz- areth. He also made a short visit to Kihg Tut's tomb, Mr. Chamberlain left New York Pebruary 2 on a steamer of the White Star line with about 730 other people. After leaving New York the party sailed scven days without sighting a living thing until they came into the barbor of Madeira. After a stay at this port the ship sa port in Spain where they intended to lapd and make a short inland excur- sion but due to the rough weather and the poor condition of the harbor they were unable to do so and were forced to sall on to Gibraltar where they made a short sts From Gibraltar the ty went to Algiers, Afric: rd stopped - off and made a short trip inland during which time they saw the most interesting teatures of this African city. ¢ 'he next point at which the party stopped was Athens and they made a trip through this historical city. They next visited Constantinople. The party then went to Jerusalem where they spent about six days visit- ing Bethlehem and Nazareth. Mr, Chamberlain =aid that the progress which the people are making is guite noticeable. > Good Roads in Fgypt Egypt was the next point of inter est visited and Mr. Chamberlain said that it was with a great deal of sur- prise he saw the large number of automobiles in this country. He said that although there are a number of American made cars there, the greater number of the cars are of European make, The drivers are Arabs and they are on a par with the American driv- ers in their skill in handling their machines, Due to the abundance of stone in that country the roads are in | excellent shape, Mr, Chamberlain said, and despite the fact that many of the roads have been in use for centuries they are in almost perfect condition. Mr. Chamberlain remarked that the methods with which the fields are cul- tivated and the methods used in fr- rigation are the same as were used centuries ago. The explanation for this, as given by the guides, is that because of the abundance of man power that may be found in this coun- try the work can be done cheaper with the old methods than with mod- erh machinery, There is a grown feeling of inde- pendence in Egypt, Mr. Chamberlain sald, this being particularly notice- able among the upper class, but de- spite their love of independence and freedom they are rather reluctant to give up the protection which is of- fered by the English., While in Egypt the tourists visited King Tut's tomb. number, among them Mr. mberlain, were not allowed to en- | .

From Egypt the party went to y, where they visited Rome, Na- and other points of interest and then went through France Into Enge land. While in rance the party wisited Monte Carlo. Visit to Battleficlds Although the official tour when they arrived in London Mr. Chamberiain took an additional t¥ip through the battiefields of Fran and Belgium and made a visit to Hol- land where he saw the summer pal- “aee of Queen Wilhelmina, which is called the House-in-the-Woods, Ie also visited the room where the fam- ous Treaty of Hague was signed. On the return trip from France to Bngland Mr. Chamberiain hired pas- sage on an airplane fiying from Paris to London but failed to make the trip A8 the day he was to start the Eng- lish pliots went on strike. He said that this sort of commercial flying in France and England has ceased to #e & novelty and despite several serious accidents, is considered as a regular means. of transportation.
