WILL ROGERS, ABROAD, BESPEAKS A WELCOME FOR LADY ASTOR
LONDON, July 29. – Nancy Astor, which is the nom de plume of Lady Astor, is arriving on your side about now. She is the best friend America has here. Please ask my friend, Jimmy Walker, to have New York take good care of her. She is the only one over there that don’t throw rocks at American tourists.
Yours respectfully, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS FORWARDS A TIP ON THE MOVEMENTS OF MELLON
LONDON, July 30. – Mellon is escaping through France, trying to reach the Italian border to go under the protection of Mussolini.
Yours, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS SAYS ONLY IRELAND WELCOMES AMERICAN TOURISTS
LONDON, Aug. 1. – I have been in twenty countries and the only one where American tourists are welcomed wholeheartedly by everyone is in Ireland. And the funny part about it is, there is more to see there than in all the others put together. They don’t owe us and they don’t hate us. The Lakes of Killarney is where Switzerland got their idea of lakes. Americans, go where you are welcome! Ireland is a friend to everybody, even England. This endorsement is on the level and calls for no appointment from Tammany Hall whatever.
Yours imploringly, Will Rogers.
STONES THROWN AFTER BUYING,WILL ROGERS FINDS A BROAD
LONDON, Aug. 2. – A bunch of American tourists were hissed and stoned yesterday in France, but not until they had finished buying.
Yours, Will Rogers.
BORAH, LENGLEN AND SHAW DRAW WILL ROGERS’S COMMENT
LONDON, Aug. 3, – When Borah asked England and France what had become of that 400,000,000 acres of land they divided up after the war, that stopped all debt arguments over here. He is always thinking up some question nobody can answer. He even sticks Coolidge.
Suzanne Lenglen has been landed by Pyle. He is now here in London trying to get Bernard Shaw to turn professional and write for money.
Regards to “cuckooland.” Will Rogers.
WHY COMMONS ADJOURNED, AS WILL ROGERS SEES IT
LONDON, Aug. 4. – England’s House of Parliament, or Commons rather (I have seen it and prefer calling it the Commons), closed today to give some of the lady members a chance to try and swim the English Channel.
I wanted to have my wife try it, but the Channel is all booked up for the next month. Churchill, in his closing remarks, still says we borrowed the money, but we doubt it.
Yours aquatically, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS WARNS DEMOCRATS ABOUT COOLIDGE AND WHEAT
LONDON, Aug. 5 – Don’t put too much faith, you Democrats, in rumor that peasants of Middle West will defeat Coolidge.
They change with the wheat crops, and he has two to go. Everybody still hates us.
Yours politically, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS GIVES HIS VIEW OF GEN. ANDREW’S MISSION
LONDON, Aug. 6. – General Andrews, our prohibition director, is here and has just held a meeting with the British shippers to eliminate any delay in getting it in.
Yours, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS OFFERS A REASONFOR MELLON’S TRIP ABROAD
LONDON, Aug. 7 – Mr. Coolidge has just sent Mr. Mellon over to Italy to find out for him how Mussolini stands in with everybody.
Yours respectfully, Will Rogers.
WILL ROGERS COMMENDS WORK TO OTHER CHANNEL SWIMMERS
LONDON, Aug. 8. – Hordes of other Channel swimmers are leaving for their respective homes. If they will only go, to work when they get there Gertrude Ederle will have accomplished much more than her original feat.
England is trying to get in on the credit of it. They claim they furnished the land for her to land on, otherwise she would never have made it. France can’t get any ad out of it at all, outside of being a good place to start somewhere from.
Yours truly, Will Rogers.
