New England Summer Resorts Safe 
War Will Have no Detrimental Effect 
on Vacation Plans, Says Tourist Agent 
[N a letter to the Boston Evening Record, Arthur L. 
Race, president of the Massachusetts Hotel Associa- 
tion, says: 
“My attention was called recently to articles in cer- 
tain Boston newspapers to the effect that lights along the 
coast would have to be extinguished during the coming 
summer. 1 am in receipt of information from Washing- 
ton that the War and Navy Department have never even 
considered this matter. 
“You must be aware of the fact that millions are in- 
vested in the coast resort business of New England an‘ 
that thousands of people depend upon the summer tourist 
for their living. 
“Newspaper articles such as I refer to have a serious 
detrimental effect upon not only summer hotels, amuse- 
ment places at the beaches and cottage owners, but upon 
the whole business affairs of New England, 
“It is my opinion that the newspapers of Boston are 
as interested in the mercantile affairs of New England as 
any other industry. Therefore, it would appear they 
should use some discretion at this (the most critical tire 
in American history) as to the kind of articles published. 
The summer hotel man has already felt the serious effect 
of the article to which I refer, and it seems to me only 
fair to the people of New England that you should cause 
to be printed an article that would to some extent coun- 
teract the feeling that has been created by this unfounded 
report. 
“T can assure you that should our government decide 
it-was advisable to issue an order for all lights to be out 
at night along the coast the hotel men will be glad to co- 
operate and do their part to any end; but until such an 
order is officially received, it should be the.duty of every- 
one, and especially the newspapers, to keep the public and 
business as near normal as possible.” 
Mr. Race is manager of the Masconomo House at 
Manchester and of Brandon Hall, Brookline, and stands 
high among the hotel men of New England. 
George E. Marsters, the well known tourist and 
transportation agent, declared in an interview : 
“T do not believe that because a state of war exists 
between the United States and Germany there will be any 
great detrimental effect upon the summer resort and vaca- 
tion business. In some places transportation facilities 
may be hindered somewhat, not because there is any risk 
or danger, but because the government regulations re- 
garding the entrance to harbors, etc., have made it neces- 
sary. 
“IT can conceive of no probable reason why lights at 
beaches and coast resorts shall be ordered out. It is the 
consensus of opinion on all sides that there is absolutely 
no danger or likelihood of a German attack upon our 
shores. Submarine warfare wherever it has been carried 
on has been operated solely forthe destruction of war- 
ships and the merchant marine, and is not used as a means 
of bombardment of either forts or ports. 
The scene of the conflict is entirely away from our 
land and our waters. Only in a few cases, even in Eng- 
land and France, were lights extinguished in towns and 
cities and then only to prevent the offering of these places 
as targets for the Zeppelin raids. There seems certainly 
no likelihood of a Zeppelin attack on our shores. 
“Although the reports has been scattered broadcast 
throughout the country that the public buildings of Wash- 
ington are closed, practically all public buildings, including 
the Capitol, Congressional library, old National Museum, 
Smithsonian Institution, Cochran Art Gallery and many 
others, with the execption of the state, war and navy 
buildings and the Washington navy yard, are open as 
usual and the national capital was never more attractive 
than at the present time with the war Congress in ses- 
sion, 
The policeman and the emperor 
I think about in awe, 
For one is out preserving peace 
And one preserving war.
