LIVING DIFFERENT
IN OLD WORLD
SOME IMPRESSIONS

In closing this series of letters some
incidents and travel impressions will
find place.
For years many of the countries of
Europe have been building a great
military structure, either on land or
sea, and the visitors there tne past
summer were tated to witness the
falling of the scaffolding. When ma
tons for years, day by day
and month by month, continually
add to their stock Of ammuni-
ton, there must some time come a
great explosion. If one nation spent
money for armament the others must
do, likewise, even to the little
countries like Switzerland and Belgium.
The causes of the present war may be
viewed from so many standpoints
cover such an expanse of time and
the threads are so interviewer with the
years of past history that it requires a
diplomat to discuss the question intelli-
gently. The result is that the average
person is confused and many Of those.
in the armies are more or less uncer-
tain why their native lands are at war.
In the Liverpool shipping district
there are thousands of men who help
during the rush times and spend the
remainder of their lives waiting for
something to turn up Out of a job,
the army seemed to be the only lookout
for them so great numbers enlisted.
We saw we'll onto regiment of these
men being marched from the enlisting
station to the barracks to receive their
uniforms and guns. They were used to
a rough and ready life and no doubt
would make fair soldiers when placed
on the firing line and made to realize
that they were face to face with de
structi0n.

those living in the vicinity that there
is now not rattlesnake within twenty
miles of his cabin, and that if travel
err tells him of one he will go to the
place and search for days if need be,
till he can return with the skin of the
reptile.
The hermit has never been to
San Diego, although for over forty
years he has lived at point where on
clear days, he can see the smoke of the
city. A visit to his cabin is both IN
teresting and pathetic. The hermit
has the tall, stately figure of a patrician.
He has long, dark, curly hair, and
wears the dress of a mountaineer. He
will point out to you the little spring of
clear cold water, the ruins of the old
abode hut, and the three lonely graves
on the side of a little knoll. All his
story as told here, however, he will not

gather from him the facts here given.
Many people know him as Rattle
snake Joe," the hermit of Smith s
Mountain, but very few are aware of
the tragedy that lies behind his self

Safety First Prevails.

One thing to be admired in European
railways is the "safety-frst" idea for
the public. In order to cross the track
at the stations one must either go
through tunnel beneath the tracks or
over a bridge above. Walking along
the railways by others than employees
spells arrest. Highways go over or I'M
der, else there is a gate with watch
man constantly on duty. For a locomo-
tive to strike an automobile or team at
a crossing is. almost impossible, SO well
is life guarded. f...... +.- saa Elf
The enginemen on all the trains we
saw have no or little protection from
the weather and must work standing.
When an engineman in America makes
S19.51, in England he makes $1.80, we
were told. A fireman abroad makes the
princely sum of eight cents an hour.
4 When the members of the family
of an English railway man desires to
travel it is, necessary to 0 btain tickets
which are sold at a reduced price. Life
on the railway service beyond the sea is
much like fighting in one of the great
armies during the present war at few
pennies a day, largely honor.

Glasses in Europe

When an American meets a fellow
countryman beyond the pond he desires
to know in single breath on what boat
he came over, when and where he land
ed, what countries he has visited and at
what hotel he is stopping. When an
American returns from Europe ne is
always asked how he likes the country,
people, manners and customs. These
questions are hard to answer. In some
respects the Europeans are ahead OF
America and in others a century be-
hind. There is too much class division
to suit Yankee who cannot get accus-
toned to this apparentlynecessary evil.
In the British Isles one rides either as
first or third class on the railway trains;
the second class not being popular, was
soon discarded after the railways be-
came popular. The first class fare is
about double third class, the compart-
ments being finer and not SO crowded
as in the third class. On the
continent there are three
classes of railway passengers
there being but little difference be-
tween the second and third class. On
but few trains are the tickets taken up,
this duty being performed when you
pass through the gate at your destina-
ton. Occasionally at station a fellow
will poke his head into your compartment
and shout, ''Tickets' give the ticket a
a punch and pass on. The cars are small
and narrow. They are dividedinto
compartments or little rooms, large
enough to hold six or eight people occu-
plying two long seats facing each other.
In some cars the compartments ex-
tend all the way across and in others
an aisle runs along one side. In the
cars where the compartments extend
all the way across there are no toilet
rooms and no opportunity to go from
one part Of the car to another. These
are used for. local trains. But seldom is
there more than one toilet room
in car and there is no opportunity to
go from one part Of the train to another.
Often passengers are locked in their
compartments and in case of drunken
or crazy passenger being with you, the
only relief is to pull the distress signal
and stop the train. Members of the
train crew are never visible, the names Of
the stations being called out at the sta
tion after the train stops which gives a
stranger an excellent opportunity to
land at some point not on their schedule.
The names of the cities and villages
passed through are displayed on the sides
of the depots but there are so many ad-
vertisements that the unsophisticated
cannot tell one from the other. In fact
the advertisements are more prominent
than the names of the stops. The sta
lions are divided into classes the same
ga the cars and this separation of the
sheep from the goats is what
worries.the average Yankee. The
dining cars and sleeping cars
abroad are not so comfortable as those
this side of the sea. a..4.

The Roads a Wonder

The roads ofsEurope are constant
source Of wonder to Americans and can
not be otherwise. Some Of the paved
roads are two thousand years old and
when those in this country have been
improved year after year for as many
centuries they will no doubt favorablY
compare with those in the old world.
In some parts of England there is a
man at work all the time every few
miles and when large place becomes
weak in the roadbed a crew of men
comes along and it is made as good as
new. Crushed material is piled along
the highway every few rods and men
are constantly pounding rock for need
ed repairs. When a road is once in
good condition, the Englishmen keep
everlastingly at it to prevent its des-
truction by constant travel.
The Poor Are Poorer
The poor Of Europe are poorer than
than the poor in America. On rainy,
chilly nights men sleep in the parks of
London and when death places his cold
hand upon them, the authorities do not
even attempt to find out who they are.
1t is the same with the women
who sleep on doorsteps and live onithe
brink all the. time. It is said that
thousands of these poor people never
ate beefsteak.
These letters might go on indefinite
ly but it is time to come to the end of
the road. Rest assured that after this
war adventure we have come back with
the full co eviction that there are no
hills more beautiful, no fields more
fertile, no people more prosperous or
opportunities more abundant than in
our native land. After the monarchs
have cried enough, after the last
sword has been placed in its scabbard
and the rivers no longer run stained
with blood, Europe will emerge in the
throes of a colossal debt. America will
have prospered and in comparing
measure for measure it will be seen
that peace is more powerful than war.
America first, the other continents after
