seryatiye men among the Central pow
ers feel positive that by and large
everyone will 90 back to the old
things in use. The fact that substi-
tutes have had to be created is but
the way Of providing that importa-
ton Of raw materials is absolutely
necessary-and America is the great
est exporter Of them in the world.
First and foremost, it is question
that is asked not unfrequently
whether the monarchy is not going,
after the war if not during it, to
need its emigrants to America more
than it needs their money. Several
army corps of Austra-Hungarians are
in the United States, many or most of
whom have expressed themselves as
willing and glad to come back, but
who are unable to do so.
The financial burdens after the war
are of course going to be very heavy
in Austria-Hungary as in all other
countries, and there is also in pros
pect everywhere a shortage Of men
for the reconstruction of affairs to a
normal state. Whether the emigrants
in America by sending their money to
help relieve financial burdens can do
more for the country of their birth
than they could by being here to
work for it is a question that has not
been settled.
Though no one can say with assur-
ance, prevailing opinion is that GER
tainly for a long time after the war
there will be a lull in emigration TO
America, because of the anticipated
need for workers at home. Just as
many employers and labor experts in
Germany feel that wages there are
going to 20 up or stay up on an at
tractively high level, so the feeling
exists in Austria-Hungary that work
ing conditions here will be such that
the inclination to leave will be small
Ter than ever before In fact a re-
turn swing in the tide Of emigration,
bringing back many now in America,
is by no means considered an i'm
possibility.

FACTORS IN GOOD RELATIONS
WITH AUSTRIA-HUNGARY

Vienna, July 6, Correspondent to
the Associated PressD-American
who have lived in Austria for the
major part Of the war have been de-
lighted to notice a distinct change
in the feeling OF the public of late, a
reyersion to the old popularity which
Americans always enjoyed here.
The change has been noticeable
nowhere more plainly than in the
press. which has insisted that good
relations and if possible better rela-
tions between these countries and the
Republic are desirable for both sides.
One factor is the emigration ques-
tion, which touches Hungary more
acutely than it does Austria. 1t is
factor that involves some s150000,-
900 a year, for this is the sum that it
is estimated is sent back to Hun
gary annually from its citizens who
in normal peace times wander out
TO America. So consistently have
these emigrants sent back part of
their earnings that the government
has come to take it into careful ac-
count when budget and taxation mat
ters cine up each year
A second factor concerns the bath
and cure resorts Of Austria formerly
patronized chiefly by the English,
French and Russians, and now suffer
ing cruelty from the war and having
to exist on none too free-handed and
local German patronage. The shrewd
owners figure the matter out this
way No matter how the war comes
out, it will be a decade before the old
peace-time patronage for England,
France and Russia can be won back.
Americans. however, they estimate
will almost certainly flock to Europe
once peace is declared, and they hope
that the resorts in Austria can be
made to coax from Americans the
huge sums that they formerly drew
from other foreigners.
The Austro-American steamship
lines constitute a third factor in the
friendly relationships, for the theor-
lists count on an unprecedented influx
of travellers to Europe from the Uni
ted States. an influx that very con-
ceivably may tax to the uttermost
limit all existing transportation facili'
ties. and reckon that If Austria-Hun-
gary emerges from the war with the
good will of Americans there is moth
ing to prevent a veritable avalanche
of business for steamer lines to Aus
tria. more particularly so If Americans
develop a partiality for Austrian re-
sorts.
Austria -Hungarians also do not hes
itate 10 admit that, If this part of
the world is to be put back on a
normal basis once more after war, !
huge importations Of raw materials |
are going to be imperatively neces- /
sary for a time. and what is more, an !
extended credit to cover these i'm
portations is going TO be almost es-
sential.
Nearly all the nations at war, but
particularly Germany and Austria |
Hungary. have made remarkable ad- !
vances in the creation of substitutes
for articles and materials that have
given out. Many of these substitutes |
will last far beyond the war, but con- |
