In his last letters. written before
leaving London Mr .Swain tells of the
railroad strike which tied up that na-
tion for a short time, and which it was
fzared' at first would delay the expedi-'
t: n.
Strike Comes Suddenly
"The strike came up like a thunder'
shower," he says, "on only two or
three days notice." "The strikers have
apparently been taken by surprise by
the extent and efficentcy of the motor
truck service that the government has
put at work almost over night.
"When you see the statement that
about 1000 of these brought in milk
and vegetables to Hyde Park last night'
from distances up t'o 25 or 30, or even
50 miles,-and that many of these are
three ton trucks while the ordinary
English freight car caries but eight
tons, you all see the railroads have
a formidable con-petitor.
No Food Shortage
"During this period there was no
shortage of food or gasoline, though
meals were rationed. A rise in prices
was impossible beca'use of the fixed
prices prevailing on many articles
and in other cases due to the force of
public opinion. Gasoline in London
sells at about 68 cents per gollon."
Of his visit to Westminister Abbey
Mr. Swain says, "Architecturally
speaking, the interior is Gothic.
The shifting ,of light as daylight
lessens was most interesting. It is'
not 'very well lighted, but this only
adds effect. There is undoubtedly a
strong sensuous and emotional appeal
in vast, dim, echoing spaces, glow of
stained glass, and the reverberating
roll of organ music."
Nibny Bound for India
"I spent . tlhe afternoon strolling
around two or three parks, chiefly
watching the ' human picture book-
amitated. The British "Tommy" has
the some tendency toward "two-ness"
-the lights were fine. The smoke,'
clouds; and hate of London air have
given me quite a new attitude toward
some of Whistley's paintings In
many cases he didn't paint the excep-
tional, but just the usual things in his
out door pictures."
Engines go to Waste
The first letter from Paris, recieved
Friday, contains the details of the
journey from London by rail and
boat. Traveling through France the
party "passed various abandoned can-
tonments (British); the track was
paralled by trenches for long dis-
tances near Amiens, and at the latter
the station and freight warehouses had
evidently been wrecked by air bombs
or shells. saw probably two dozen
locomotives, quite opparently built in
the U. S. A., rusting on side tracks-
don't know the explanation."
"Officials were extremely courteous
and examined scarcely anything after
Professor Kelsey's explanation." Later
when . he went to the chief of the
customs bureau "passed everything
bodily-didn't have to open one."
Having visited Paris some 20 yerars
ago, Mr. Swain finds but little change
in the city, though old vihicles have
been replaced by ,newer, more mod-
ern methods of getting about. At
present only about- one third of the
street lights are being used, there be-
ing a shortage of coal in the country.
Commenting on the stores, he re-
marks, "More than ever do I think the
Paris shop windows the finest I have
seen anywhere."
"Down by the Seine I saw the Eiffel
tower rising almost Mace-like against
the briliantly illluminated banks of
of clouds at sunset." 'Visiting Norte

"One thing is both bad and good-the

True they are a little more expensive than ordinary
