Main and Portage MONTREAL AND QUEBEC Via Montreal, Quebec and the St. Lawrence River, the Canadian Pacific travel lanes treat Americans to the joys of Canada en route another country added to their trip abroad. Montreal, Canada's premier city, is growing very rapidly and the present population of the city itself is estimated at 1,098,409, and of "Greater Montreal," which includes the suburbs of Lachine, LaSalle, Longueuil, Montreal East, Montreal South, Montreal West, Hampstead, Mount Royal, Outremont, St. Lambert, St. Laurent, St. Pierre, Verdun and Westmount, as 1,256,459, which shows an increase of 32,400 over the previous year. According to these figures, Montreal is the fifth city on the North American Continent, being exceeded only by New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit. In addition to immense manufacturing interests, Montreal is the greatest grain port in the world. Furthermore, it is a beautiful city and its natural situation on the slopes of Mount Royal gives it advantages from the scenic standpoint equalled by few places. Pere Marquette, explorer of the Mississippi, lived in Montreal three centuries ago, as did De Bienville, founder of New Orleans, and Cadillac of Detroit fame. The walled city of Quebec was the cradle of New France and of the civilization that now extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The grandeur of its site, the beauty of its scenery and its checkered history all endow it with a special appeal. Quebec retains much of its old French tradition, the quaint older part of the city has a distinction which gives Quebec the most individuality of any city on this continent. At Montreal, the Canadian Pacific owns and operates the Place Viger Hotel and at Quebec, the magnificent Chateau Frontenac, conveniently located and easily accessible to our piers. Reservations can be made at any Canadian Pacific office. During the period from December 1 to April 30, our ships sail to and from Saint John, N. B. (except cruising and Bermuda ships, which sail from New York). v; • * ft _ m [2] [3] THE SHORT ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY THE MIGHTY WATER BOULEVARD TO EUROPE The St. Lawrence brings ocean-going steamships inland to its two great ports of Montreal and Quebec. Montreal, although a thousand miles from the ocean, is 315 miles nearer to Liverpool than is New York! Down the noble river and through its gulf, by Canadian Pacific, provides the most delightful route to Europe, reducing by two days the time spent upon the open Atlantic. Instead of sailing straight out from a harbor into the ocean and watching the disappearing horizon, after leaving Montreal we run gently between rich, fertile meadowlands and the long, narrow strips of tilled farmland that are so typical of French-Canadian agriculture. At frequent intervals are villages clustering at the water's edge, characteristically French-Canadian in their white-washed walls, high roofs, and handsome churches. Around lunch time we pass Trois-Rivieres (Three Rivers) and at about dusk we reach Quebec. After several hours' sail from Quebec, the St. Lawrence begins to widen out into the broad expanse of the gulf. The riverside changes somewhat, flat farmlands giving place to shores rolling back to distant mountains. Meadows are superseded by primeval forests. Suddenly on the left the mighty Saguenay River rushes in from the north, joining the St. Lawrence between two mighty twin capes that bear the names of Trinity and Eternity. At Father Point we slacken to drop the pilot, but even yet we are a long way from the Atlantic. We shall run for another day along the coast of the Gaspe Peninsula, past Anticosti Island, past the Magdalena, past Cape Breton Island, before we slip quietly into the open ocean. The inland fresh-water journey on which you begin merges so gradually into an open saltwater journey that the change is imperceptible.

Outward reservations should be made at once, especially for sailings during May, June, July, so that you may obtain the accommodation you prefer at the rate you wish to pay. Homeward reservations. We can sell you return passage and issue ticket covering accommodation if you decide now on return sailing date. In that way you will preclude delay and disappointment on the other side, as steamships returning are heavily booked, and accommodation is reserved well in advance. If return sailing date cannot be decided on, open ticket available on any Canadian Pacific steamship can be issued, but under these conditions, passengers must bear prominently in mind they should get in touch with one of our overseas offices well in advance of sailing in order to obtain space desired. When reservation is secured a deposit is required to be paid in order to hold the accommodation. The amounts are: First Class, 25 per cent of the passage money. Cabin Class, $30.00 per passenger. Tourist Third Cabin, $20.00 per passenger. Third Class, $20.00 per passenger. Balance of fare is due three weeks before outward sailing date. Refunds. If passengers are unable to avail themselves of accommodation on which deposit has been paid or for which tickets have been issued, refunds are made in accordance with regulations contained in our tariffs. TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION FIRST CLASS: "Empress First Class"—to cater to the traveller demanding the unusual in elegance and luxury in staterooms and public rooms, the highest class of accommodation, associated with characteristic standards in cuisine and service, such as is found in Canadian Pacific hotels throughout Canada. [6] Types of Accommodation (Cont'd) CABIN CLASS: Designed expressly to meet the demand for a high quality of accommodation in staterooms and in public rooms, with commensurate cuisine and service, at rates slightly higher than the usual Second Class found on other lines, but with the added advantage of having unrestricted deck and public room privileges. TOURIST THIRD CABIN: A new class combining solid sea comfort with low transportation charges, specially designed for those who feel the demand for economy in travel costs. THIRD CLASS: Passengers are provided with good rooms, fully equipped and well ventilated, with well-chosen, well-served meals. STATEROOMS All first class staterooms on the Empresses are equipped with beds instead of berths; likewise, there are many rooms with beds on the Duchesses and on several of the other cabin ships. Other staterooms are equipped with roomy berths, with bedding and mattresses equally as comfortable as in the rooms with beds. There are de luxe suites consisting of parlor, bedroom, and private bath, also double and single rooms with private bath, on the Empresses, also some of the cabin ships. Bibby rooms are L shaped and the long end of the L (usually about three feet or more wide) has an outside window or porthole. These rooms have the advantage of outside ventilation, and usually the floor space is considerably greater than in the direct outside rooms. In addition to beds or berths, staterooms are equipped with necessary facilities such as wash- stands, wardrobes or hooks, settees or sofas, etc. First Class staterooms accommodate 1, 2 and 3 persons. Cabin Class staterooms accommodate 1, 2, 3 and 4 persons. Tourist Third Cabin staterooms accommodate 1, 2, 3 and 4 persons.

Through baggage checking facilities in Europe are somewhat limited, and details should be obtained en route. BAGGAGE INSURANCE The company takes every reasonable care of baggage, but their liability is limited and passengers are recommended to fully protect themselves against possible loss, damage or pilferage by insuring baggage for a sufficient period of time to cover journey.

This is necessary in order to permit of prompt departure of the special train to London, and will save the passengers annoyance, delay and inconvenience through having to wait on the dock at Southampton while baggage is weighed and collections made by the Southern Railway Company. Baggage will be accepted for delivery to any address within a radius of 2J/2 miles of Waterloo Station at the following rates, which include railway excess charges Southampton to London, and delivery in London within the 2 J/2-mile radius: 1.

CHERBOURG —PARIS All baggage, with the exception of ordinary hand baggage which the owners intend to take with them in passenger coach, belonging to passengers of all classes destined Paris, or points beyond via Paris, is checked to Paris at rate of $1.00 per piece, regardless of size, and without free allowance. If passengers do not check their baggage, they are not allowed by the railway authorities to travel on the special steamship train. This involves transfer by cab from the dock to the town station, and various porterage charges, etc., annoying and expensive. The rate of $1.00 per piece covers, in addition to transportation of the baggage from Cherbourg to Paris: 1. Porterage and trans-shipment from tender to boat train at Cherbourg. 2. Porterage and transfer to Customs at Paris. 3. Liability up to Frs. 1,000 per package for loss, damage or pilferage while en route from Cherbourg to Paris. The Customs examination of baggage checked through to Paris takes place at that point. The passenger must surrender duplicate portion of the check before delivery of the baggage may be obtained. L1PJ Checking of Baggage to London and Paris (Cont'd) HAVRE —PARIS The same procedure, charges, etc., apply as in the case of baggage landed at Cherbourg. WESTBOUND A checking and registration system is in effect whereby, upon payment of 50 francs, baggage is called for in Paris and registered through to the ship at Cherbourg. In Antwerp, baggage will be collected at hotel or residence and transferred to the ship upon payment of a small fee. For the convenience of London passengers proceeding to Southampton and Liverpool for embarkation on Canadian Pacific steamships, arrangements have now been made for collecting baggage from their residence and delivering same on board at the following rates: Within a two-mile radius from Trafalgar Square, London, to Liverpool— Handbags, Hat Boxes, Rugs, Suitcases and Golf Clubs in bags 4/- per package Trunks of every description 6/6 per package Outside the two-mile radius, but within the London Postal Area, the following rates will apply— Handbags, Hat Boxes, Rugs, Suitcases and Golf Clubs in bags 4/9 per package Trunks of every description 7/6 per package Within a two-mile radius from Trafalgar Square, London, to Southampton— Handbags, Hat Boxes, Rugs, Suitcases and Golf Clubs in bags 2/6 per package Trunks of every description 5/- per package Outside the two-mile radius, but within the London Postal Area, the following rates will apply— Handbags, Hat Boxes, Rugs, Suitcases and Golf Clubs in bags 3/3 per package Trunks of every description 6/- per package These rates include collections from residence, rail carriage to port, gratuities and placing on board the steamer.

Passengers residing outside the two-mile radius must notify the Canadian Pacific three days before sailing date, giving full address, number and description of packages to be collected. The above charges must be paid at time of booking the order. It is most important that baggage of passengers within the two-mile radius must be ready for collection by 12 noon on day before sailing, and baggage of passengers outside the two-mile radius by 12 noon two days before sailing. [21] CUSTOMS REGULATIONS AND BAGGAGE ARRANGEMENTS MONTREAL - QUEBEC - SAINT JOHN Outgoing From many points in the United States heavy baggage may be checked through to the ship, eliminating the necessity, at the port of embarkation, of identifying, claiming and arranging transfer from railway station to ship. Passengers from all other points should check their heavy baggage through to Montreal, Quebec or Saint John and as soon as they arrive, call at the baggage room in the station and arrange transfer to the ship. Heavy baggage, so checked, and which is not used in Canada, is not examined by Canadian Customs. Hand baggage is examined when crossing the border from the United States into Canada. Before boarding the ship, passengers should be sure that their baggage is on the dock, and make arrangements with the Canadian Pacific baggage representative to have it put on board. Incoming Incoming passengers destined to the United States are examined by United States Customs officials. U. S. Customs regulations require incoming passengers to fill out and sign a baggage declaration form, which can be obtained from the ship's purser and should be completed at least a day before arrival. Returning residents of the United States must declare all articles acquired abroad, in their baggage or on their persons, whether by purchase, by gift, or otherwise, and whether dutiable or free of duty. Exemption, however, will be allowed by Customs officers of articles aggregating not over $100 in value, if suitable for personal or household use or as souvenirs or curios, and whether intended for the personal use of the passengers or as gifts or presents to others, provided the articles are not bought on commission for another person nor intended for sale. Articles so exempt from duty must, nevertheless, be declared. [22] Articles belonging to one passenger cannot be included in the exemption of another. Use does not exempt from duty, wearing apparel or other articles obtained abroad. Such articles which have been used abroad may, however, be specifically noted on the declaration and due allowance will be made by the appraising officers for depreciation through wear and use, and duty charged upon the articles at their value in their condition as imported. Passengers must not deduct $100 exemption in making out their declarations. Such deduction will be made by Customs Officers. All wearing apparel, personal and household effects taken out of the United States by residents shall be admitted free of duty without regard to their value upon their identity being established. If remodelled, repaired or improved abroad the cost of such remodelling, repairing or improvement must be declared and receipted bills for such alterations must be presented. The cost of such repairs is subject to duty, but may be included by Customs Officers within the $100 exemption. If the cost or value of the repairs be not declared, the articles will be subject to duty upon their entire value. Non-residents of the United States must declare all articles in their baggage or on their persons which do not constitute wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment, toilet articles or similar personal effects, whether intended for their personal use or for others. They must also declare all articles of wearing apparel, jewelry and other articles of personal adornment, toilet articles, and similar effects when not owned by them or when intended for other persons or for sale. Household effects such as furniture, table linen, bed linen, tableware, etc., imported as baggage must be declared. If shown to the satisfaction of the Customs Officers to have been actually owned and used abroad by the passengers not less than one year and not intended for any other person or for sale, such effects will be admitted free of duty. If not so owned and used abroad, duties must be paid thereon, unless included in the $100 exemption allowed returning residents. [23] Each passenger over 18 years of age may bring in free of duty 50 cigars or 300 cigarettes, or smoking tobacco not exceeding 3 pounds, if for the bona fide use of the passenger. These articles must be declared, but will be passed free by Customs Officers in addition to the $100 exemption. Expensive jewelry and sealskin garments, etc., should not be taken abroad without first securing from the proper United States Customs Officer a certificate showing they were taken from the United States. Such articles can be appraised and certificate secured on application to United States appraisers' offices, located in principal cities. ALL ARTICLES ACQUIRED ABROAD OR ON BOARD SHIP SHOULD BE PACKED WHENEVER POSSIBLE IN ONE RECEPTACLE; THIS WILL SAVE TROUBLE AND INCONVENIENCE AT TIME OF EXAMINATION. WHEN LANDING AT MONTREAL U. S. Immigration Officers examine passports at Quebec, where all ships call on inward voyages. On arrival at Montreal baggage is placed by the stewards under alphabetical designation on wharf. On production of U. S. declaration form, to Canadian Customs Officer, hand baggage is examined and permission given for heavy baggage to be transferred to station (this is arranged by Canadian Pacific baggage staff). U. S. Customs Officers are on duty at Windsor Street Station, Montreal, and will examine heavy baggage there. During the period July 15 to Sept. 1, examination of baggage on the Duchesses is taken care of while the ship is proceeding from Quebec to Montreal. 1. If heavy baggage contains no dutiable articles or of a value less than that allowed by the exemption, it is checked through to destination. 2. If baggage contains dutiable articles, it is checked through in bond to destination or nearest bonding point, where it is examined and duty paid there. Hand baggage is examined by the U. S. Customs Officers at the border. [24] WHEN LANDING AT QUEBEC On the Empresses, whose terminal port is Quebec—passengers' heavy baggage is placed on deck in alphabetical order previous to arrival at Father Point. U. S. Customs Officers and baggage checking staff board the ship at Father Point, and passengers destined to the United States produce their declaration form to the U. S. Customs Officer. At the same time railway transportation must be shown to the Canadian Pacific baggage staff, so that checking can be arranged. 1. If heavy baggage contains no dutiable articles or of a value less than that allowed by the exemption, it is checked through to destination. 2. If baggage contains dutiable articles, it is checked through in bond to destination or nearest bonding point, where it is examined and duty paid there. Hand baggage is not put on deck but is taken ashore by the stewards and examined at the foot of the gangway by Canadian Customs Officers, and at the border by U. S. Customs Officers. U. S. Immigration Officers also board the ships at Father Point to examine passports before reaching Quebec. WHEN LANDING AT SAINT JOHN After Immigration formalities are completed and sleeping car reservations are claimed, passengers should attend to the examination and checking of baggage, which meanwhile has been brought ashore by the stewards. Hand baggage is examined by Canadian Customs and heavy baggage by U. S. Customs. 1. If heavy baggage contains no dutiable articles and is of less value than that allowed by the exemption, it is checked through to destination. 2. If baggage contains dutiable articles, it is checked through in bond to destination or nearest bonding point, where it is examined and duty paid there. Hand baggage is examined by the U. S. Customs Officers at the border. [25] CUSTOMS REGULATIONS — EUROPE To avoid delays and possible annoyance, passengers should co-operate with the Customs officers of the country which they are entering or leaving, although European Customs Regulations are usually less exacting than those of the United States. Principal prohibited articles are tobacco, spirits, drugs, essences, motion picture films, etc., and in some countries matches. A list of declarable articles is generally furnished each traveller on opening his bag for inspection; duties and valuation on dutiable articles usually are moderate. Border examinations are sometimes conducted during the night, so baggage should be limited and be of the type which permits quick and ready examination. It is essential that dutiable articles be declared. It is expensive to take: Chocolates, silk or perfumery into the United Kingdom; cigars, cigarettes or matches into France and Belgium; tobacco or sweets into Italy; playing cards into France. Undue quantities of liquors in the possession of an incoming traveller are regarded with disfavor by most European customs officials, as travellers are expected to buy these within the country and thus patronize the home excise department. CLOTHING To provide for changes in weather, it is well to take a top coat or rain coat, umbrella, rubbers, sweaters, an extra pair of shoes, etc. On board ship, some sport clothing is desirable during the day, when much of the time is spent on deck. Ladies travelling First Class or Cabin Class will find a dinner dress useful, likewise gentlemen will find a dinner coat appropriate. On the Empresses it is customary to dress for dinner; on Cabin ships it is optional. Generally speaking Officers on board ship do not dress the first night, last night or Sunday night; many passengers follow suit. Laundry facilities on board ship are limited and plenty of linen, etc., should be taken. A cloth label, showing your name, attached to coats, caps, hats, etc., will facilitate their prompt return when left lying on deck. Passengers who wear eyeglasses or spectacles will find it advisable to take an extra pair and a copy of original prescription which can be filled in principal European cities. Many travellers include a still or moving picture camera in their equipment. In England, France, Germany, Belgium and Holland the temperature is more temperate than that in New York or Boston. The climate of Spain, Southern France and Italy closely resembles that of California and Florida. [26] PASSPORTS AT LEAST FIVE WEEKS SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR SECURING PASSPORT In order to land and travel in Europe, passengers must be in possession of a passport issued by the Government of which the passenger is a citizen. Except United States citizens born in Sweden, Denmark or Norway and their families accompanying who are no longer required to possess United States passports in order to visit their respective countries, but may enter and remain for a stay of three months, provided they have in their possession United States naturalization certificate (citizen papers) and a certificate of identification with owner's photograph and signature affixed, and properly signed by, for instance a Notary Public or Justice of the Peace. When returning from Scandinavia, the naturalization certificate (citizen papers) entitles the passenger to re-enter the United States. The passport generally must be visaed at the Consulate of the country which the passenger intends to visit or pass through en route to destination. U. S. Citizens must make personal application to a United States Passport Agent located as follows: Washington, D. C. State Department. New York Sub-Treasury Building. Philadelphia Postoffice Building. Boston Custom House. Chicago 20 1 N. Wells Street. New Orleans Custom House. San Francisco Custom House. Seattle White Building. In other cities and places, personal application must be made to the clerk of the nearest District or Circuit Court. Members of the same family, who wish to make separate journeys while abroad or in returning to the United States, should bear separate passports. A passport issued to a husband or father may include his wife and minor children; likewise a woman's passport may include her minor children. [27] Passports (Cont'd) A minor brother or sister may be included in the passport of an older brother or sister. A minor grandchild, niece or nephew of tender years may be included in the passport of the relative when the application is accompanied by a request from the parental or other guardian. Members of the immediate family who are twenty-one years of age, also Maid-Servants and Man-Servants, must bear separate passports. It is not necessary for adults, or children, to appear at passport office when included in another's application. Those who require separate passports must appear and execute their own application. Applicants for passports should be accompanied by an identifying witness, preferably a relative, who must fill in and sign the affidavit on back of application form. The identifying witness should be an American Citizen (man or woman), who must swear that the applicant is the person he represents himself to be and that the facts stated in the application are true to the best of the witness' knowledge and belief. An old U. S. passport bearing a signed photograph may be used in lieu of an identifying witness. PHOTOGRAPHS Two photographs must be submitted of each person named in the application, one affixed to the application, the other, which must be signed by the applicant, will be transmitted by the Passport Agent with the application to the Department of State, who will affix it to the passport when issued. A GROUP PHOTOGRAPH should be used when more than one person is included in one application. Photographs must be on thin paper with a light background and not over three by three inches, nor less than two and one-half by two and one-half inches in size. It is suggested that two or three extra photographs be carried in the event of any being required for visaes secured in Europe. [28] Passports (Cont'd) FEES The fee for issuing a United States Passport is $6.00 ($5.00 must accompany the application to Washington, D. C, and $1.00 is paid to the Clerk of the Court or agent before whom the application is executed). SIGNATURE When passports are received, they should immediately be signed in places provided, so as to avoid difficulty in getting visaes. When travelling in Europe, passports should be carried on the person (not enclosed in baggage) as they must be shown to the Immigration officials, so that landing cards may be stamped; they also must be shown at the border when entering or leaving a country. DOCUMENTS (a) NATIVE BORN CITIZENS. American born persons, those born abroad of American parents, and foreign born wives of native citizens, who were married prior to September 22, 1922, must submit with application a birth certificate or baptismal certificate showing place and date of birth; in lieu of either of these, an affidavit from a United States Citizen, preferably a relative who has known the applicant at least twenty years, will suffice; in the affidavit a brief statement should be made showing how and through what source knowledge of the place and date of birth was acquired. (b) NATURALIZED CITIZENS. Certificate of naturalization or a duly certified copy of the Court Record thereof is required, and this will be returned after inspection. Naturalized Citizens must be in possession of FINAL papers before applying for a passport; if only first papers have been secured, such persons are still considered Citizens of the Country of birth. [29] Passports (Cont'd) (c) PERSONS NATURALIZED THROUGH HUSBAND OR PARENT. Married women of foreign birth, who were married prior to September 22, 1922, should submit their husband's birth certificate, or other documentary evidence not their own. If marriage took place after September 22, 1922, married women retain their original citizenship until they themselves become naturalized then they come under classification (b). Persons claiming citizenship through naturalization of a parent must submit certificate or duly certified copy of the court record thereof of the person through whom they claim American citizenship—this will be returned after inspection. (A person BORN in this country of naturalized parents need not submit naturalization certificate of father, as such persons come under classification (a).) AN OLD UNITED STATES PASSPORT WILL SUFFICE IN LIEU OF EVIDENCE OF CITIZENSHIP. VALIDITY Passports are valid for two years from date of issue unless limited to a shorter period. A passport originally issued for two years that was still valid on July 1, 1930, will be extended for two years (or for a total period of four years from the date of issue) upon payment of a $2.00 fee and later for a final period of two years upon an additional payment of $2.00. If an application for the extension of a passport that was valid on July 1, 1930, is not made until more than four years from the date of its issue, a fee of $4.00 will be required, since the new law provides that a fee of $2.00 must be paid for each two-year extension. In other words, a passport still valid when the law became effective may be extended to cover a total period of six years from the date of issue, whether or not it has been extended consecutively for each two-year period. [30] Passports (Cont'd) The renewal of a passport may be applied for in person or by letter addressed to a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States, a U. S. Passport Agency or the Clerk of any Couit having naturalization jurisdiction. No formal application is necessary. The original passport should be presented and be accompanied by the renewal fee in currency or a Postal Money Order. It should be noted that passports issued prior to July 1, 1928, whose validity has accordingly expired before the new law became effective, will not be extended. Holders of such expired passports will have to apply for new passports and pay the $6.00 fee. VISAES (For table of fees, etc., see pages 32-33) After passport is received, it is necessary that it be visaed by the consular representatives of the countries which passenger intends to visit. A visa is a stamp placed on the passport which permits the holder to visit the country concerned, and usually is good for twelve months. There is also a transit visa which is cheaper, but is only good for one direct journey through the country in transit to some point outside that country. Transit visaes are good for stop-over only in certain countries details on application. As many visaes as possible should be secured before leaving this side; in any case, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY THAT THE VISA OF THE FIRST COUNTRY YOU ARE ENTERING BE SECURED, AND IN THE CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN, IT MUST BE OBTAINED BEFORE LEAVING THE UNITED STATES- IT CANNOT BE SECURED IN CANADA. IF NOT A U. S. CITIZEN, passengers need a passport of the country of which they are subjects, properly visaed. British subjects, resident in the United States, should apply for passport to the nearest British Consul, as the British Government prefers to deal directly with applicants and give information as to documents and procedure in each individual case.

[34] INCOME TAX REGULATIONS A United States Citizen is not required to prove that he has complied with the Federal Income Tax Law. An Alien resident, however, should be in possession, before starting, of an appropriate document, such as a receipt, proof of exemption or a Certificate of Compliance (Form 1040-C), issued by the Internal Revenue Officer of the district in which he resides, proving that his Income Tax has been paid or that he has been exempted from such payment. PERMITS TO RE-ENTER THE UNITED STATES Permit to re-enter the United States should be obtained, before alien passengers start on journey. This permit establishes the fact that the passenger is returning from a temporary visit abroad and serves the same purpose as a United States visa on the passport, at considerably less expense. Application should be filed as far in advance as possible, but in any case not later than 5 weeks prior to departure from starting point. Forms can be obtained at any Canadian Pacific office, and after completion must be sent, together with fee of $3.00 to the Commissioner General of Immigration at Washington, D. C. Separate applications are required for each person regardless of relationship and each application must be notarized, and be accompanied by two signed photographs, 2|/2x2|/2 inches, on thin paper. Permits will not be mailed to applicants, but they must state at what U. S. Immigration Office they will call for the same. There are Immigration offices in all the principal cities (as specified in the form), but, if desired, passengers may call for permit at the port of embarkation. Unless residing within a short distance of an Immigration office, it is best to designate the port of departure. MONTREAL Apply a'c the U. S. Immigration Building, 667 Lagauclietiere Street West.

For passengers, however, who arrive on the steamship specials the day of sailing, there will not be time for them to proceed from the west side to Saint John. On request, arrangements will be made by us to wire ahead to Saint John the expected arrival of the passengers, so as to give the United States inspector an opportunity of having the permit sent over to the west side to be claimed by passengers there just prior to boarding the steamship at the dock. PERMITS WILL NOT BE MAILED TO APPLICANTS, BUT THE COMMISSIONER GENERAL OF IMMIGRATION WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE APPLICATION AND, WHEN PERMIT IS ISSUED, A CARD NOTIFYING THE APPLICANT TO CALL FOR THE PERMIT AT THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE, DESIGNATED IN THE APPLICATION, WILL BE MAILED BY THE BUREAU DIRECT TO THE APPLICANT.

At 12 noon each day the whistle is blown once. LATITUDE, LONGITUDE AND CHANGES IN TIME Latitude means "distance north or south of the equator," and longitude means distance from the meridian at Greenwich—near London. Both are recorded in degrees, minutes and seconds. At the equator a minute of longitude is equal to a nautical mile, but as the meridians converge after leaving the equator, meeting at the poles, the size of a degree becomes less. Sailing eastward a ship moves with the revolution of the earth; thus her course makes her gain time, while sailing westward against the movement of the earth lengthens her time. Exactly how much is computed each day at noon, and ship's clocks are usually changed during the night. Eastward, the clock is set ahead each day approximately 50 minutes; westward, the clock is set back daily in similar fashion. [44] SOME NAUTICAL TERMS Aft At, toward or near the stern.

[63] COINAGE AND POSTAGE IN EUROPE The most convenient way of carrying money to, and in Europe is by means of Canadian Pacific Express Travellers Cheques, a worldwide currency. They are issued in convenient denominations, so that you need only carry a limited amount of the actual currency of the country in which travelling. They are payable in the United States in United States dollars, and in other countries at the current buying rate for bankers cheques in New York. No personal identification required. Your counter-signature on the cheque identifies you. They insure you against loss, are cashed by thousands of banks and all express companies, and accepted in payment of tickets and accounts by railway, steamship and sleeping-car companies, tourist agencies, first-class stores and hotels, wherever you happen to be. They are for sale by all Canadian Pacific Agents. It is recommended that when passengers are travelling from one country to another, that they provide themselves with a limited amount of small change of the next country they are visiting; this will enable them to take care of porterage and taxicab expense, on arrival, without difficulty. The following details for principal European countries, will be found useful; all figures are given for information only and are subject to change without notice. Currency values are quoted in United States equivalents, and are subject to fluctuation. With the exception of Great Britain (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Irish Free State) currency in Europe is based on the decimal system; i. e., the divisions of the unit are 1/10, 1/5, etc. of the unit itself. Details of the English currency system are shown under the heading of Great Britain. Postage rates quoted are based on the usual weight letters first class; for heavy letters or other classes, consult local post office officials. When mailing letters or post cards, be sure that the correct stamps are affixed; these can be purchased at the post office, also generally from the head porter of the hotel.

With a conducted party. 2. With a private courier. 3. Following an itinerary laid out by a tour company, but not travelling with a party. 4. Independently. Each method has its advantages, and it is a matter of personal preference as to which is employed. Those who have never been to Europe before, sometimes prefer to use the facilities offered by suggestion Nos. 1 and 2; method No. 2 is natu- * rally more expensive than No. 1. Those who prefer a more diversified trip, with unusual and possibly lengthy stop overs, find method No. 3 very desirable. By it, passengers are given the freedom of independent travelling, but their train, hotel and sight-seeing arrangements are made in advance. Independent travel has the advantage of permitting passengers entire freedom of movement, without any restrictions as to route, time, hotels, etc. There are many established tourist companies who are in a position to furnish the facilities outlined; for methods 1, 2, 3 before passengers sail, or while they are enroute. For method No. 4, such companies with offices at all principal tourist points are well equipped to give information and assistance, also make hotel, train and sight-seeing arrangements. As a rule, more detailed information regarding long journeys, especially from one country to another, can be obtained from the office of a tourist company, than at a railway station, particularly if the inquirer is not familiar with the language of the country he is in. Persons travelling independently should bear in mind that: 1. Hotel reservations should be requested as far in advance as possible particularly for the popular tourist resorts during the crowded season. 2. Train reservations, especially for the so- called "De Luxe" trains, should be made well in advance. [68] 3. The Canadian Pacific has offices in all the principal cities in Europe and passengers are cordially invited to take advantage of the facilities offered by our world-wide organization. Mail, telegrams, and cables can be sent in our care and our representatives will be glad to assist with information and helpful hints. EUROPEAN RAILWAYS In Great Britain the ordinary time system is used; but on the Continent the twenty-four hour system is used; 1 :00 p.m. is 13 o'clock, etc. On the Continent, the metric system is used for measuring distance a kilometre equals about 5/8 of a mile. Cars for day travel are on the compartment style and accommodate two, four, six and eight passengers, according to class and type of car. Smoking is permitted only in compartments so marked. In Great Britain there are two classes, first and third. First is used by people desiring the best service, especially if they have much baggage; third class is the popular class and quite comfortable. On the Continent there are three classes, first, second and third. Some of the de luxe trains, such as the Orient Express, etc., carry only first class passengers; other through trains carry first, second and third class, but many local trains carry only second and third. Second class is the popular class on the Continent, but for persons travelling a long distance and wishing comfort, especially if they have much baggage, first class is preferable. Third class is not recommended for passengers travelling for pleasure as third class seats on the Continent are plain wood. European railways do not usually give away time tables, but sell them at a nominal price. There are several well known Continental railway guides which give all the information an average traveller wants, and they are printed in English; they are also sold at a nominal cost. Railroad tickets are shown at the gate before entering the train, also on board the train, and are given up when leaving the station platform upon arrival. [69] Special train reservations from London to Southampton and Liverpool, also from Paris to Cherbourg in connection with westbound sailings are handled by our offices in London and Paris, and passengers should make early application for such reservations. SLEEPING CARS are built on the compartment style with the berths running across the car (not lengthwise) and are operated as follows: Great Britain and Scandinavia—By the Railway Companies. Continental Europe—By the International Sleeping Car Co. (Wagon Lits) and the Mitropa. In Great Britain, first class sleepers have single compartments; third class sleepers accommodate four to a compartment. On the Continent, first class sleepers have single compartments, except on some fast de luxe trains there are also double compartments. Second class sleepers are double compartments in the same car as the singles. For two people travelling together it is economical to travel second class, as the same service is given, except that passengers must travel two to a compartment. Third class sleepers accommodate three to a compartment. In Germany "siestas" (a pillow to fit the seat) are rented at important stations to third class passengers not using a sleeper on principal trains. In France a "couchette" or couch can be hired, but the traveller must provide his or her own linen and covering. The average cost for sleeping car reservations for a night run is First Class $7.00 Second Class 3.50 Third Class 2.00 There are no smoking rooms or ladies' dressing rooms on European sleeping cars and the same lavatory is used by both men and women. The sleepers are in charge of a combination porter and conductor employed by the company operating the car. [70] Parlor Cars. The Pullman Co. operate, in England, salon cars on the special trains operating between London and the Channel boats. On the Continent similar cars are operated on Channel boat trains and other through fast trains between principal points. These cars are a combination parlor and dining car and seats are reserved either in the dining section or smoking section. There is a supplementary charge for such reservations. Dining Cars are operated by the same companies as the sleeping cars. The meals are table de hote, usually with two sittings; the dining car steward passes through the train giving out tickets for the first or second sitting, as the case may be. In Great Britain there are usually separate divisions for first class and third class passengers, but almost the same meal is served. On the Continent, all passengers eat at the same tables, regardless of class. At important stations there are lunch counters or lunch carts for those passengers who do not wish to use the dining cars. EUROPEAN MOTOR TRAVEL Travelling through Europe by motor is now a very popular way of seeing the various countries, providing, as it does, opportunities to visit out-of-the-way places and see quaint customs which would otherwise be missed. All the well known tourist companies have facilities for making arrangements for motor travel either by means of a private car with a courier—chauffeur, or in comfortable charabancs or busses. There are regular motor bus routes between the principal cities, especially in Great Britain. AIR TRAVEL IN EUROPE One can now travel between the principal European cities by regular air routes with planes leaving according to advertised schedules. Ticket agents on our ships are provided with tickets via the Imperial Airways, Air Union, and Compagnie Aerienne Francaise and information regarding other principal air routes. It is possible, for instance, to arrange before landing at Cherbourg, for transportation by air to Paris, etc. [71] HOTELS IN EUROPE Hotels in Europe vary widely in scale of prices according to grade (first class, second class, third class), whether located in a small town or large city, and whether reservations are wanted in the busy season or not. It is well to remember that rooms with bath are not as prevalent as in the United States or Canada, also that soap is not usually furnished in Continental hotels. TIME IN EUROPE The time of day in Europe varies according to the distance of the country from Greenwich (England), in the same manner as the different times in America. When it is 12 noon in London, England (Greenwich Time), it is: Hour 12:00 Noon 12:20 13:00 (1:00 P.M.) Place Belgium France Great Britain Portugal Spain Holland Austria Czecho-Slovakia Denmark Germany Hungary Italy Jugo Slavia Lithuania Norway Poland Sweden Switzerland Time Western European or Greenwich Time Amsterdam Time Mid European Time 14:00 (2:00 P.M.) Bulgaria Estonia Finland Eastern Greece I European Latvia Time Roumania Russia Turkey In countries having daylight or summer time, care should be taken to ascertain on which basis trains, etc., are operated. [72] AUTOMOBILES Automobiles, when accompanied by passengers, are carried at special excess baggage rates. RESERVATIONS As space available for the stowage of automobiles is limited, application for space must be made early. Reservation of space should be made when passenger engages passage, or as soon thereafter as possible. No reservation of automobile space will be made until passage has been definitely engaged and deposit paid. DELIVERY FOR SHIPMENT Automobiles must be delivered on the dock at port of shipment twenty-four hours prior to time of sailing. SCHEDULE OF RATES (Subject to change without notice.) Section 1.

Shipment of automobiles via Belfast, Cobh, Cherbourg and Hamburg is not desirable, as transfer between ship and dock must be made by tender, involving risks for which Company does not assume liability. RESPONSIBILITY FOR EUROPEAN ARRANGEMENTS The Canadian Pacific acts in the capacity of Agent in procuring European Customs documents, driving licenses and number plates, and shall not be liable for the refusal on the part of authorities in foreign countries to issue, or to honour when issued, any triptyques, Customs passes, driving licenses, or other documents. Customs papers cannot be issued for any country in which the automobile owner may possess a permanent residence, apartment, flat or business. [74] Automobiles (Cont'd) LIABILITY The liability of the Company is limited to the period the car is in its possession, not to exceed the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00). INSURANCE Passengers paying the INCLUSIVE rate under Section 1 receive free Marine Insurance for the actual cash market value of the automobile on date of shipment up to $1,000.00. Passenger should, however, in order to be fully protected, and obtain full value of this insurance, secure additional insurance in the event that the actual cash market value of the car on date of shipment exceeds $1,000.00, which coverage is obtainable through the Company. Passengers paying transportation charges under Section 2 of this tariff may also procure Marine Insurance through the Company. Certificates are delivered to passengers on the dock prior to sailing. It is also advisable for passengers to insure their cars against damage, fire, theft, and public liability while in Europe. Arrangements can be made through the Company for European policies offering complete coverage. Insurance rates will be furnished on request. EUROPEAN CUSTOMS DOCUMENTS Passengers booking their automobiles under the inclusive rates quoted in Section 1, and visiting Europe strictly as tourists for a period not exceeding one year, are no longer required to furnish cash deposit or bank guarantee to cover Customs duty or other charges. The liability of the owner in connection therewith is covered by a security bond arranged by the Company.
