entire country are gorgeous and
imposing. THERE'S quite an Eug-
lish settlement in Dresden and
many people here use the English
language. This resembles home
country more than any place yet
found. Food is cooked more
American and this we appreciate.
VIENNA, April II.
Arrived in Vienna last night:
our trip from Dresden was fine,
the day was perfect. The com
forts of travel were very good.
We left Vienna at 11.25 a. m. and
proceeded southwark, following
close the sinuous course of the
Abe river, our eyes were aston
ished and our souls exalted with
the many and sudden changes of
scenic beauty. Castles and rocks
and rills, rivers and brooks, mead
ows verdant and green, hills ra-
diant with the light of the noon
day sun, mountains of granite
surrounded with fortresses and
kings palaces all speak of sub
lime beauty that words cannot
fathom.
We covered a distance of 1858
miles without changing cars and
after leaving the hills of Saxon
Switzerland to the north we came
through some charming agricul-
tural sections of country, both
in Bohemia and Moravia and
were much impressed with the
fertility of the soil and the well
cultivated lands, indicating a more
industrious and prosperous peo-
pie than had expected to find in
these ancient provinces. AS we
came bounding forth toward
Vienna (Wien), cutting our way
from vale to vale by short tunnels
through mountains or rocks, there
appeared a most glorious sunset
so strange. so different from any,
thing my eye ever caught, so in
expressibly radiant with the eff
fulgence of heavenly beauty.
This (Vienna) is the dutchest
of them all. Though we have had
no difficulty so far. Visited the
University grounds and the ALI
gemine Krauken Haus General
HospitaD to-day and it is Won
derful place. Met at the entrance
gate by chance a young gentle
man from Harrisburg who kindly
offered to assist US tomorrow in
consummating plans and getting
at the work.
VIENNA, April q.
We have been most fortunate
in getting settled in a splendid
German family near our work, in
a very nice front room and also
struck the rare thing of boarding
in the same house. We think we
have it great,as cooking is almost
American and is served in our
room is very nice style. Our
landlady takes only American
students. She speaks fine Ger
man and says we dare not talk
American while here. We think
we are rapidly turning to be Ger
mans both in looks and habits.
Have not had time to form a very
definite opinion of Vienna as most
all the time has been given to get
ting settled and arranging for the
work. Have every thing in pret-
ty good order now to get the most
out of our time while here. There
is no end of material to work on
and it can be gotten by getting
courses with the proper men.
This is the best time of the whole
year to be here to get good ad-
vantages. There are many Amer
leans doing work here and they
have assisted us very much in
getting on the "inside." These
Americans are from all over the
U. S., from Maine to California.
Last year there were 400 Ameri-
cans here inside of four mounths.
This morning we got up intend
ing to go to church, the day was
glorious so we went some or 4
miles to the suburbs TO the hill
tops and got a sublime view of
this large city and surrounding
