Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LAUSANNE, September 10. 1910
Among the vast number of tourists that
now begin to descend from the mountains
and to take up residence at Lausanne
and such places for the after season
which will later on merge into the real
autumn Jason, there are some Ameri-
cans who prefer to stay here awhile
rather than to return home in some Sec
ond -rate steamer or to travel in the Sec
ond cabin or even in the Storage.

in addition. at this time. it is the rally
ing point Of the throngs who during the
summer have been doing the mountain
resorts. There are a number of such
locations on the Lake of Geneva, COM
mencing with Geneva itself and including
such places as Vevey. about which Feni-
more Cooper wrote home such glowing
accounts, and Montreux. with the Castle
Of Chillon, that is still TO myriads the
living background of Byron's "Childe

The number of prominent Americans
that have been seen here is remarkable;
many have come from regions far apart
in the United States, the name of DR..

ma, appearing along with that Of DR..
Foulkes Of New York: while others have
met here from their own home towns,
Mr. John Wanamaker and Mr.. Benedict
Gimbel Of Philadelphia having been noted
as visitors about the same time. Many,
too, were attracted to witness the feat
of NJ. Armand Dufaux in crossing the
lake from Montreux TO Geneva in BIZ
plane of his own construction. Those
who witnessed the flight were impressed
with the real possibilities Of the Lake of
Geneva as an attractive field for avia-
ton.
That Lausanne has particularly ap-
pealed to Americans is evidenced by the
fact that, as compared with this time
hast year, when the number of Wis
iting Americans registered amounted to
1,OO5 they have this season nearly doubled
and are steadily increasing, as, for ex-
ample, when the number rose from 1875
to 1915 In a week.
The Lake of Geneva district. indeed,
has always appealed to Americans, many
of whom have established villas along it's
shores. The Remsen Warehouses; have
