UNWANTED GUESTS.
Shipping offices in New York have been inundated with applications from wealthy Americans for berths on board ships bound for England, and estate agents there are receiving numerous inquiries for houses in southern counties from American parents wuo desire to be near their soldier sons. The British authorities view this movement with considerable alarm. Not only does it aggravate the shipping problem, but the Food Controller may have something to say about the importation of a large and wealthy population. Difficulties arc already being made for the prospective visitors, < and until the American Government is 1 able to prevent these sailings the companies, by imposing severe limitations and requirements, are keeping the numbers well in check.
