UNWANTED GUESTS.
Shipping offices in New York (the Liverpool Post, London correspondent says) have been inundated with applications from wealthy Americans for berths on board ships bound for England, and estate agents here are ee-
ceiving numerous inquiries for houses in Southern counties from American parents who desire to be near their soldier sons. I understand that the British authorities view this movement with considerable ajlarmj. Not only docs it aggravate the shipping problem but the Food Controller may have something to say about the importation of a large and wealthy population. Difficulties are already being made for the prospective visitors, and until the American Government is able to prohibit these sailings the companies by imposing severe limitations and reqiirements are peeping the numbers well in check.
