WAR THREATENS RUIN
TO SWISS HOTEL MEN
Appeal Made to Government
For Aid by Mortgages.

Geneva.-Bereft of tourist patronage
by the war, the Swiss hotel keepers IN
convention assembled have appealed to
the government for relief. They want
a state system of mortgages on furni-
ture in inns and delay of two years
after the end of hostilities for the pay
ment of interest on the mortgages.
There are about 1000 tourist hotels
in Switzerland, employing $4,000 peo-
pie, with a yearly wage list Of $5,6OO.-
900, and 1927 100000 capital is invested
in the business.
More than $1OO,OOO,OOO was spent by
tourists in Switzerland in 1913. Of
which $1,OOO,OOO went for postage
stamps and souvenir cards, 100000
was spent for kilograms and phone
talks, $4,OOO.OOO was taken by the rail-
roads for fare and freight, and the
balance. less comparatively small
amount for customs duties, was got by
the hotels and shops in the proportion
Of eight to two.
These estimates are the official ones
made public at the national exposition
at Berne.
English, French, German and Amer
lean travellers make 60 per cent Of the
Swiss tourist trade. The war came
early enough in the summer of 1914 to
reduce the hotel receipts 40 per cent.
This season there has been practical
ly no business.

by Count Won Bernstorff, the German

else he seemed to deplore the anxiety
of the American people as to the out
come Of the German-American diplo-
matte exchanges. He declared that
the American people should be told
that there Is absolutely nothing to
worry about.
Can we say that you and Secretary
Lansing are in perfect accord?" the
ambassador was asked. "Yes, you can
say that We are agreed on the method
to be followed in coming to an agree
ment," he answered.

SEEMED TO BE AS BIG AS A HORSE BARN"
walking about the sitting room with
his hands under his coattails that he
suddenly asked:
Mrs. Bowser, | want to ask you Il
plain question, and | want plain an

"Well?" she queried.
You must not be influenced by the
fact that you are my wife and love me
or are supposed to love me-
Il won't be"
"Do you consider me hero?'
mo more than consider you an
angel" was the prompt reply.
Mr.. Bowscr looked at her in surprise,
and n flush crept over his face, and it
was half minute before he said;
isn't hero man who has adven-
tures?"
mo, sir"

l am not an egotist or boaster, but

much as any man you ever read Of
There are Others who think so too"
What Others?" asked Mrs Bowser
well, for instance, l had a caller
today from prominent publishing
house. He had heard of me. He had
heard that l had had adventures. He
wanted me to relate some of them, and
when had done so he said that IL
they were published in book form they
would make the best selling book of
the last ten years. He almost guaran-
teed that would make $4,000 out

"Yes, a man called here" said Mrs.
Bowser, "and he looked to me to be
| Just such n man as that. I mean a
man with soft. oily tongue and soft
soapy ways"
Mr.. Bowser was vexed and put out
by her attitude. and the popcorn man
on the street had yelled about thirty
times before he answered
my caller ought to know what sort
of book sells the best, as he has been
| in the publishing business for twenty

"Why-why"-
II see. You are TO pay for it, How
much?"
"It won't be over $3.50, and he as
sured me that would get 1t all bacl
and five times as much in the sale o
the first edition. He thinks there wi
be call for at least five editions. a
books OF adventure are all the rag
now"
There was silence all over the Bow
ser house for the next three or fou
minutes
Then Mrs. Bowser said.
