YANKEES TRAVEL
THE SEVEN SEAS
Oxer 150,000 Americans on the
Ocean Every Day in
the Year
SUMMER RUSH TO EUROPE
Rich Uncle Sam Spends $100,
--000,000 Each Season in
Globe Trotting Fun
NEW YORK. April 30.—An average
of 150,000 Americans arc afloat at sea
In Rome parts of the world ivory day In
the year, according to estimates com
piled hero from the statistics of ocean
transportation lines and from Other
sources. At certain periods during the
height of the travel season the number
undoubtedly Is considerably In excess
of this figure, but at all times, day or
night, winter or summer, the army of
Uncle Sam's cltlienl who are travers
ing some portion of the seven sens is
greater than the population of most of
our cities, or even of some of the small
er states.
This vast floating population Ib made
up roughly of three divisions. One of
these Include! the bluejacket! and
members of the marine corps who man
Uncle sums lighting cruft and who
number about 60,000. A sec mid divis
ion is compoßi ■! of those whoso occupa -
tlons keep them at sen. such as those
engaged in deep sea fisheries and other
maritime pursuits. The number of
these is about ff.OOO, according to fig
ures collected recently by the census
bureau. The third division consists c,f
voyagers hent on business or pleasure
to all parti Of the world who arc giv
ing Americans the reputation of being
the inoßt eonlirniod followera of the
travel habit of all nationalities on the
face Of the globe.
RACK OK GLOBOTROTTraUI
This desire to explore the known and
unknown ends of the earth i.s of eom
paratlvoly recent growth iimonK the
people of the United States. Time was,
within the memory of those not yet old.
when a person who had made the.
"grand tour" was looked up to ever
lifter by his neighbors as a being let
apart from the common run of people,
while a man who made a trip around
the world thereby became an object of
almost country-wide interest* In con
trast to this state of affairs it is Inter
esting to set down some figures Riven
to the writer by Emil L. Hons. general
manager of the Hamburg-American
line, a company which has been a pio
neer in operating special tours to parts
of the world off. the beaten track of
ocean travel.
"On looking over our figures for the
past winter," said Mr. Boas, "I find
that fourteen hundred Americans went
nronud the world on one of our liners,
the Cleveland. In addition one of our
largo boats, the Blueher, has Just re
turned from a trip to South America,
on which she carried a shipload of
American tourists as far as the Straits
of Magellan, a part of the world which
nobody in this country ever thought of
visiting a few years ago. Cruises to
the West Indies have become an es
tablished feature of winter travel and
we have sent three trips to Caribbean
ports Bince the first of the year.
Egypt and the Mediterranean countries
are other magnets that draw thou
sands of Americans every winter.
Mora than four thousand persons took
passage on our cruise steamers during
the winter months to various parts of
the world aside from the ports to which
we maintain regular sailings."
This Is the record of only a single
line at a season of the year when ocean
transportation formerly was considered
dead. . If account is taken of the trav
elers by the liners sailing regularly to
foreign ports, as well as by special
cruises to points of particular interest,
the number of winter travelers would
,be found to total between fifty and
sixty thousand.
VAST CROWDS H\IT, IN KVtSHBSB
This is still, of course, only a frac
tion of the vast throng of summer voy
ngers which now reaches the astonish
ing total of 150,000 or more every sea
son. This year, transportation author
ities believe, will overtop all the high
records of the past, and it is confident
ly predicted that more than 200,000
Americans will Journey to foreign
lands during the next six months.
This forecast is based on the advance
bookings not only to the main Euro
pean ports, but also on the special
cruises to Norway arfd other points in
northern Europe. These bookings are
larger than ever before, and a recent
trip through the middle west by a man
prominently connected with ocean
transportation interests revealed the
fact that between seventy-five and
one. hundred thousand persons were
planning to go to Europe from thai
section alone. The economic effect of
this movement, aside from the indica
tion It gives of the prosperity of the
country, may be judged by the fact
that more than $100,000,000 of Ameri
can money will be spent on foreign
travet during the coming summer.
One reason why Americans are be
coming the greatest travelers in the
world unquestionably Is that they have
far more money now than formerly to
spend e-n travel. Another influence, and
. one of equal weight, is that the com
forts and conveniences of travel have
increased immensely in recent years.
Not only has the time of crossing the
Atlantic been cut in half In the past
half century, but every comfort and
luxury to be found on land has been
duplicated or excelled on the monster
liners of the present day. Formerly art
mean voyage was a hardship attended
by*many discomforts. Now it has be
come a pleasure, and the American who
goes to sea takes his hotel with him.
can have every table delicacy in or out
of season, reads his dally newspaper
with its chronicle of the world's events,
enjoys all sorts of sports and recrea
tions, and can even attend theatrical
performances en route if he so desires.
Every art has been called Into play to
make an ocean trip more comfortable
than staying at home, and the result of
this effort Is shown In the rapidly in
creasing number of voyagers and of
those who make a foreign trip a part
of their program every year.

LET WOMEN JOIN THE
IMMORTALS, YELLS PARIS
Barring of Academic Honors Is
Called Deplorable*
PAKIS, April 30.—Parisians are dis
cussing a suggestion made by M.
Smile Faguet—when M. Rene Dominic
was received into the Academic Fran
caise last week—that women should
be received into the company of the
Immortals.
"A law which I consider deplorable,"
he said, "prohibits the admission to
academical honors of persons of the
sex of Mme. de Sevigne, the famous
letter writer of the seventeenth cen
tury." . -h
These words have aroused much com
ment and have revealed the fact that
out of the total of forty members near
ly one-third are in favor of sharing
their laurels with women who have
won high distinction in literature.
Following are the views of some of
the Immortals on the subject:
M. Paul Hervieu: "In my opinion
an equitable solution of the question
would be to create a section of the
institute which would be devoted to
feminine merit In letters, arts and sci
ences."
M. Kmile Faguet: "It is quite sim
ple, convinced as I am of the intel
lectual equality of man and woman.
I am In favor of equal rights, and at
the academy more than anywhere
else."
M. Maurice Donnay: "I think that
the academy should retain the char
acter conferred on it by the founder.
Besides, at the present moment, wo
men have to make conquests other
than the fauteuil beneath the dome."
WATER TUNNEL PIERCING
ALL EUROPE NEAR END
Monster Project Will Be Com

GENEVA, April 30.—A waterway
throußh the heart of Europe, joining
the North sea to the Mediterranean
and passing through Holland, Ger
many, Switzerland and France will be
an accomplished fact within the next
few years.
The Paris municipality has given the
first impetus to the international
scheme by deciding to open naviga
tion on the Rhone between Geneva and
Marseilles and has decided to construct
a barrage and parallel canal to the
Rhone at Genissiat, an hour's journey
by train from Geneva. The work will
be commenced this summer and com
pleted in 1913.
The Swiss association for navigation
of the Rhode to the Rhine has pledged
itself to prolong the river route from
Geneva to Basle via the lakes of Neu
chatel, flows into the Rhine. The North
sea is already connected with Basic
by the Rhine highway.
It would cost little to construct a
few short canals and deepen the river
beds in Switzerland and this would
have been done long ago, but on ac
count of the opposition of the railway
companies in France, Switzerland and
Germany. The opposition has now been
counteracted and In the near future a
motor boat or steam yucht will be able
to xteam through the heart of Eu
rope, . i 1

Bishop Takes Hand to Stop the
V Driving of Cattle Off the 7
Grazing Lands
' DUBUIT, April Cattle driving has
again become almost an everyday occurrence.
Within the last week or two cases have been
reported from various parts of the country,
and cevernl devotees of the hazel have been
sent •to Jail. In some Instances the object
has been to coerce the owner of the land Into
selling; It for distribution; In others, the drive
ha* been merely an Incident in the prosecution
of the hated grazer.
Only the. other day several large grazing
farms In the Ballyvaughan district of Galway
were., simultaneously cleared of stock. On
the" previous night a farm near Athenry was
raided with a similar result; and last week
the cattle and sheep belonging to two large
farms in Mayo were driven a distance of
several miles.
In some districts there have been offenses
of a graver character. Compensation has been
claimed from the Clare county council for
the shooting of a bullock and a heifer be
longing to two tenants In the Surren district.
A farmer at Ruan, In the same county, has
also lodged a claim for the loss of a bulllock,
which was found with one of Its arteries
severed,
--■ Vv-s .DRIVE AT MKATK
. A case of cattle maiming Is reported from
Meath, At Orlstown there was a drive In
volving seventeen bullocks and a number of
sheep, and the tails of four of the cattle
were cut off. At the recent Meath quarter
sessions counsel for a claimant who was
awarded compensation for the driving of
forty-four animals stated that a few houds
before the drive took place Mr. Glnnell, M.
P., made a speech in fne. neighborhood "en
couraging the practice."
In the adjoining county of 'W'eEtmeath,
where Mr. Glnnell originated his campaign,
the Implacable hostility displayed against • a
farmer named Boyno has drawn a strong re
monstrance from the Roman Catholic .bishop
of ».leath. There have been five or six drives
off Boyns's farm at Taughmon, for one of
which four men, were sent to prison a fort
night ago. The latest exploit of the kind is
said to have beeen carried out by a number
of women, who early in the morning drove
the cattlo: into the owner's yard. .-'■',-
BISHOP INTER VEXES ,
The Immediate cause of the bishop's Inter
vention was a hontlle demonstration, directed
against members of Boyne's family at Taugh
mon chapel' after mass. In a letter to the
parish priest Bishop Oauxhran remarks . that
In the post those who committed great crimes
fled to the church for protection and found a
safe asylum In the sanctuary. The bishop
says: . ■
"Now, those who are guilty of no crime, but
who are (Imply defending their Just:rights,
won't be allowed to come to fulfill their duty
to dod on Sunday without being Insulted In
tiro- church j/oigh and trusted outside as .if
they were wild animals. Cattle drivers ought
to know that they are violating the laws of
Justice. This practice is a violation of the
seventh commandment, and, if continued, is
sure to bring God's curse on our land."

HERE LIES JOHN FLECKT;
HE DIED OF NEGLECT
BERLIN, April 30.—A tombstone on
the grave of John Fleckt, who died
lately at Heligoland, has resulted in
an extraordinary lawsuit.
The widow had the following legend
insi-rlbfd on the tombstone:
"Neglect shortened your life, my be
loved, when you were in the prime of
manhood."
Dr. "Woltersdorf, who attended the
patient, regards the inscription as a
reflection on himself, and he is bring
ing- an action for libel against the
widow.
She, on the other hand, maintains
that the inscription refers to her alone,
and that she wishes it to remain as
an everlasting reproach of her own
negligence.

ORCHARD DALE—!
RIGHI IN EVERY RESPECT-
IE like to have a man come to us and say "Your property may be
: \\T everything you claim for it; but I want to KNOW. Show
——I me."
I J If that man really wishes to buy the best citrus fruit land in ;
Southern California, right in every detail, we can sell him, and deliver
I the goods, every time. , I
We looked everywhere for a tract. We saw nothing that pleased us [
:; nearly as well as Orchard Dale. The first requirement was water; pure
water ; ample water supply; CHEAP WATER. \
Orchard Dale has it. The supply is unlimited, and will be supplied
: at the lowest annual cost for such service. No other tract can match it. *
And don't forget that Orchard Dale is in the celebrated East Whittier district, where citrus
fruit groves command the highest prices in California for such property. Of course, the in
vestor's profit-making certainties are large in proportion.
4 We have acres as low as $450, with easy terms, right in the district where two-year-old
• lemon orchards are held at $1800 an acre.
Orchard Dale is on the .Pacific Electric Whittier line, half an hour from Los Angeles, and
