SWISS HOTELS
HEAVY LOSERS

Swiss railroad companies and hotel
keepers are feeling severely the pro.
longaton Of the war. The tourist
business has so dwindled that hotel
keepers estimate their losses at $780,
100000, while secondary railways (in-
cludtng the funiculars) reckon theirs
at about one-fourth Of this sum, due
to the loss Of both passengers and
freight trafic. The Swiss govern.
ment Is helping. as far as possible. to
alleviate the distress, but It has itself
a great burden to support, and :ita
state lines suffer from the diminution
in transit traffic. The Swiss are cut
