European Impressions of a First Tripper
by Aev Adolf Aut Pastor swedigh Immanusl lutheran Church Of Omaha

Austria are anxious to have schools in
their own language. The Czechs are maxi
ing a bold fight along that line. To US It
seems curious that a city, say Vienna.
should have German, Czech, Hungarian
and other public schools. Austria is con
glomerate. Its unity is political. not racial,
not national. There seems TO be a certain
dispirited tone IN the Parliament. The
whole thing lacked nerve and verve. 1 was
rather surprised to find how meek and
soft the socialistic speakers were. Their
problem evidently is a side issue COM
pared with the tragical battle of national
tiles which threatens to disrupt the Aus
triGn empire. No one appeared TO have
any clear view as to the probable future
development. a spirit of uncertainty
broods over the political and national life
Of Austria at present.
The Viennese have for generations been
famed for their hospitality and cheer
fulness. Stress and strain, agony and pain
do not characterize the temperament, nature
and states of the Viennese. Life in Vienna
has much OF the German phlegmatio trend
plus considerable Partisan elegance, minus
the French fussiness in etiquet and man
ners. Like all Europeans, they love the
cafe life. The whole family goes out after
the days labor. It interests the traveller
considerably TO study the various types
Of this European cafe existance. In Paris
the keynote seems to be display, style.
smart appearance. In Vienna a. good-na-
tured, happy socisbility after the days
toll prevails. The family comes much more
into view in Vienna than In bright, sis-
CANT, wild Paris, the city, par excellence.
Of dazzling social events. As the Austrians
take things calmly, a certain lovely charm
and restfulness marks their public and
social life. II is a people that would for
its " welfare need to study somewhat

a few minutes before an elegant equlpage
drawn by two fine horses and carrying
four grandly uniformed officers hurried

while sounding his bugle. The speed in

drive. The gentlemen were officers OF the
fire department on their way to a fire in

Omaha take note! Through and through
this tone of elegance and splendor strikes
you in the architecture of public build

as in olden times the cities we're sur
rounded by huge wallis and space within
the walls did not increase as did the
population. In Antwerp one seeks almost
in vain for a satisfactory view OF the
cathedral. The beautiful Romanesque
cathedral Of Mainz is almost entirely en-
closed by buildings, SO that I found some
difficulty in trying TO get within this rich
old church. Modern cities do not need the
walls, and therefore new churches, even
in old European cities, often la a beau
afully open situation. Vienna possesses
a modern Gothic church, the Votivkirche,
built In 1858, that proves how ldealistic ths

Bank Clearlngs
0utranks ANY American City of It's
Size and Several Twice It's
Population.

BradstreeJ's weekly statements OF The
bank clearings OF the principal cities of
the country puts Omaha in twelfth place,
the highest position ever occupied by the
Cate City.
Omaha shows a gain Of 2.6 per cent on
the week, which is a larger gain than any
Of the big cities except New York and
Philadelphia. The high position in the table
occupied by Omaha Is helped along by a
loss Of l43 per cent by Minneapolis. which
puts Omaha above that city.
Not a city OF Omaha's size in population,
or anywhere approaching its size, has for
many years surpassed it or come near Il
in clearlngs. On the other hand, Omaha
stands, month after month and year after
year, ahead OF many cities that boast twice
its population. and some cities, whose
maintenance comes from the pockets OF
sick people or rich sightseers, that claim
three times as many as Omaha. OF the
cities larger than Omaha which are sur
passed by the Gate City in hank clear
