TYR0L The BEAUTIFUL
CHARMING SPOT is TOO OFTEN
NEGLECTED BY AMERICANS.
Mountains and Valleys in Delightful
Tangled JurbIe-Has Every Sort
of Climate Found in the
Rest of Europe.

Austrian Tyrol, which is today in
the public eye because of the strained
relations between Italy and Austria,
is one of Europe's healthiest prov
inces. In the northern parts the air
drifts pure and cool from the haunts
Of the glacier and pungent with fir
and pine; and in the south it is soft
with Mediterranean sunshine and fra
grant with orange and lemon.
Though Ty-ol is a land ail-deserv
ing of the artist, the sportsman, the
vacationist, and the mentally or phys
ically ailing; though it is a country
where nature has been overlavish
with beauty, and where there are
more than $50 registered health re-
sorts, it, nevertheless, has been COM
paratively neglected, more especially
by Americans.
Austrian Tyrol forms a consider
able part of the forbidding and diff
cult boundary that runs between Italy
and Austria 1t is barrier more eff
tween Germany and France, or than
the Carpathian barrier between Hun
gary and Galicia.
Austrian Tyrol is 10,305 square
miles of Alpine mountains, etched
with a wonderful and intricate design
OF valleys. While there are fewer
lakes in Tyrol than in Switzerland,
and while the highest Tyrolese sum-
nit, 1870 feet above the sea level,
falls far behind the monarchs of the
Swiss Alps, yet the Austrian crown
land yields nothing in charm by COM
parison with its neighbor.
Among the rock-strewn gullies Of
Tyrol Dante found the materials for
his picture of the entrance to He'll
The main chain Of the Alps crosses
this region from east to west, and
around it on all sides is a wild chaos
of rock masses.
Tyrol, though small, has more sorts
Of climate within it's borders than any
other part of Europe. There are parts
of the crown land where the winters
are those of northeast Siberia and the
summers are those of Franz Joseph
land. There are other parts, more
southern, where an Andalusian Ian
guor is hardly freshened by recur-
ring winter
Tyrol is primarily a pasture land.
There is a little farming within the
sheltered valleys, and some lumber
ing, but, for the most part, the popu-
lation depends for support upon its
focks and herds.
Moreover, there is goats milk
cheese prepared by the peasants of
Tyrol that equals in it's mellow, fra
grant beauty any product made Of
milk, whether from Brie, Neufchatel
or Roquefort.
The population of the crown land
numbers about 100000, of whom more
than half are German-speaking. There
is a large Italian-speaking population
in the valleys of the south.

Helping the Musicians.

A number of Women's clubs have
been organized for the purpose of
helping those employed in the musical
profession, which is suffering greatly
through the war. A large hall in the
reichstag building has been placed at
the disposal of these clubs, and there
they meet and hear concerts, some
times two or three of them in the
same day. The woman members pay
a contribution of something like $3.50
a month and, of course, donations are
gladly accepted.
Some of the concerts take place at
private houses, and the rule has been
made that absolutely no refreshments
shall be served on such occasions, ex-
cept to the artists. The women sit
from three till six, knitting, talking, or
listening to the music. For anyone
who knows Germany and the German
woman's love for her "kaffeeklatsch,"
which used to be unthinkable without
cake and coffee, this is one of the most
remarkable effects of the war.
At whatever small entertainments
are given, war poetry and "feIdpost-
briefe" Qetters from the 'front.' are the
most popular items on the program.

brood of poets and writer's.

opinion that out of this war may, per-
haps in the not too distant future,
arise a United States OF Europe"
THAT is what we need, that is what
we should have" he continued. What
is at the bottom of this war? I am
leaving out all considerations of neu-
trality. of diplomatic bungling, etc.
It's the tariff
Blames the Tariff.
Each country tried to build tariff
wall around itself, and to that you can
trace all our troubles. Instead of
manufacturing everything in one coun-
try, we should let each country spe-
cialiZe in those goods which it can
best and most cheaply supply. In
these United States of Europe mark
well, economically speaking, France
might be left to supply all the silks
for the combined countries, Austria
glass, England cloth and ships, and
Germany machinery and chemicals;
America, for her part, might specialize
in supplying the cotton of the world.
But then, terrible as this war is, it
will have its beneficial results as well
People in Europe were beginning to
live too easily, too well; we were be-
ginning to be threatened with stagna-
ton. A man who has eaten his fill
is no longer creative. He wants to
sleep. not work. And after the war?
Well, We'll all have to live together
again. We all need one another, so
what is the use of nursing this spirit
of hatred and rancor?"
Mobilization of the kitchen" Since
the crown princess coined this express
sion the term has become regular
German watchword.
At my first coming to Berlin l no.
ticed at once the almost entire abb
sence Of ladies using the term here
in its narrower social sense-in public
places. Every afternoon, for instance,
Berlin used to take tea at the various
large Notes.-The Kaiserhof, the Ad-
lon, the Esplanade, etc.
Woman's Work in War.
I was having tea one afternoon at
the Kaiserhof with captain on the
war office staff l asked him: "Win
you tell me where all your ladies' are?
l mean, where is society,""
He looked at me surprised almost
hurt.
Why" he answered, don't you
know that all our women, our real
German women, are modified, as well
as our men? These are the days when
the girls who have had a practical
'hausfrau' education are having their
innings We need the housekeeper
and the nurse nowadays, not the
fraeulein professor, doctor, advocate,or
what not"
He was absolutely right, as l found
out later. At the outbreak of the war
great many women and girls with
university degrees, stenographers,
bookkeepers, etc, working in offices,
thought that at last their turn had
come. They were going to show that
they could replace the men at the
heads of departments, or at whatever
responsible duty might have to be per
formed. Most of them were sadly dis
appointed. In the larger offices, the
heads of firms-if they were not called
to the colors-replaced their own
managers, working double time; the
stats were cut down to half, and so
were the salaries.
