You Americans take as a matter OF
course the enormous distances you have
to travel in getting from place to place.
To me, however. it is odd that when we
go to the country for the summer the
journey will take us eighteen hours by

All of the Baroness Zwiedenek's ideas
are as alert and advanced as this little
conversational episode In the course Of
the interview indicated. She knows well
how TO practice the old customs and is
eager to acquire new experiences. After
but q single season in Washington-and
what 10 called in Official circles one of the
dullest for years-she has sensed the ma
donal character with the power possess
ed only by a cosmopolitan critA.
Furthermore. she has caught the at
mo9phere Of the United States to such
an extent that she Is ready to adopt an
independent line Of individual action
when any Of its practices strike her
fancy. Neither IL this willingness to be-
come enc Of US q feather in the cap Of
American progressivism, nor a stamp OF

baroness that her personality has that

another thing. I am not what one would
call a specialist In anything.
I'm Austria we have many artists-v1o-
linists. painters. pianists. etc. They have
specialized but can do only the one thing
for which they were educated. Such cases
lead to onesidedness Of outlook. But It
is certainly the method by which real
artists are made.
Tho baroness does not condone super
ficial education for children Of rank
and wealth. Her own children-a girl.
Anne Marie, and a boy. Vitous-are be-
ing instructed at home by German tu-

for which the housewives of her country
are noted.
She was questioned as to the position
Of women in Austria.
THE situation is similar to that in
America" she answered. I'VE have diff
ferent classes-women who stay at home
and those who go out and work Our
girls work in banks and stores as they do
here. We have also. as in America,
division on the suffrage question. Some
Of our women are enthusiastic and the
rest are Indifferent
I'm the diplomatic corps we go about
the world so much that we are more
likely to be familiar with the conditions
in foreign countries than in our own.
You see my husband was counselor at
Berne before we came to America last
October. Now he Is counselor here. and,
perhaps, before long he may be appointed
minister somewhere else. Then we shall
have to pack up and go away again.
Such is our life.

A FALSE CONCEPTION

It Is surprising that the Germans should make a wholesale charge against the Americans of being hostile to their native land, .and disposed to keep from them the truth with refer ence to military advances and re- suits.
 They should know that Germany cut the cables and made it impossible for the American press to get news direct from the fatherland, and the press has to strive in the face of almost insur- mountabie impediments to get at the truth. The American press is the freest and fairest enlightener of the people on earth and its endeavor Is to serve all classes of citizens we'll
 The New York Sunday Times ad- vises our German citizens right when 1t says: We must ask our Germa n friends to exercise the virtues of calm. ness and tolerance Surely they would not deny to the men and the news papers of America the right to ex- press their honest opinions. The Ger n1an-Americans have right to their own opinions, just as the equal right to discuss the events of this war. to apportion praise or blame, and to de- plore the excessive devotion to mil itarism shown by some of the Euro pean powers must be conceded"
