 to the character of the people and to the encouragement of their free irsti- tutions. Nearly half of the country is largely unproductive. All of that part of Switzerland which lies toward Italy in the south Is a bare. snow-an-ice crowned mountain-land, including unexploited. forests and a few high pastures. Tn the north. around Lake Constance, are found rich vineyards, while above the vineyards on the mid- dle slopes of the Juras, are pasture lands. where the cows are kept from whose milk the famous Swiss cheeses, and equally famous Milk Chocolates, are made.
 Industrial Switzerland forms a wide belt, which stretches from the Austro-H1ngarian border around to central France. Here cotton, laces, embroideries. machines. silks. straw plating, ribbons. locomotives, watches, clocks, and leather wares are maru- factured for export: while in the hills and fiat lands of the central plain are situated the Swiss farms, many of the important dairies, straw plating, wood-carving and chemical industries. The straw -piaiting is made by the peasantry. It Is a home industry, as is that of the Swiss wood d-carvins. Despite it's isolation in the midst of great industrial competitors and it's lack of almost all of the important raw materials. it is to its mills and factories that Switzerland mainly owes it's wealth.
 "The mountain republic derives less support from its agriculture than any country in Europe except Norway; for only about one-sixth of it can be tilI- ed. Many of its farms have been coaxed into being on the abrupt noun gerous task as that of the structural iron worker on a sky scraper to till them. Fully half of the country lies above the zone of agriculture, and much of the soil that could be made productive Is used as pasture land. Switzerland grows hemp, flax, carawy, frutts,-citron, lemon, mulberry, or ange. olive and pomgranate, corn, maise. oats. poppies. potatoes. barley. rye. epelt, saffron, tobacco and wheat Tn normal times, it had to import from Russia, Hungary and the United States three times as much wheat as it produced. It. produces considerable value in timber.
 Moreover, there is no important mineral production in Switzerland; for the mountains belong to geolog-' icai formations unproductive of vaiu- able minerals. Some coal $ found in cantons of vaiais. Vaud, Fribourg; iron in the Jrra- Rock salt and build ing stone form. the most important mineral products. The Swiss have to depend upon wood and foreign. coals for f1ei and upon foreign ores in their metal working industries. Germany and France contributed coal, metals. wool. flax. and cereals to Swiss mar kets. Liverpool sent the cotton to the great goods and embroidery factories at St. Gall. and certain proportion of the cotton.

ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES
 OF WAR BOUND SWITZERLAND Its Progress Due to Character of Peo- pie and Encouragement of Their Free Institutions.
(speoial to The Bulletin.l

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.-"War- bound Switzerland has been confront ed, probably, with the most discour- aging economic difficulties brought about by the world war fer any neu- tral country; for it depends upon ota- CT nations for most of its raw mater ials, for much of it's supply of wares for home consumption. and for the handling of all its over-sea business begins a bulletin given out today by the National Geographic Society, which describes how war geography has hurt the small republics prosper fty.
 Although not quite one-third as large as New York State, without any important coal and iron deposits, and unable to produce enough food to cover the demands of it's people, Switzerland, nevertheless, has. due to several great advantages which bal- ance the unfavorable conditions, pro- gressed in wealth and comforts on even terms with it's powerful neigh bors. It has become an industrial country of first rank, and, at the out break of the war. it possessed an inn portant and growing commerce. with many countries.
 Like Holland. the remarkable pro- gress of Switzerland must be credited

dustry: and in Zurich Bern and St Gall, business everywhere made the traveller from America forget Swiss scenery and think of home. In St. Gall, the cotton Industries center Cloths, manufactured here, are made of American cotton and are noted foI thter nneneSS Of texture and excel lence of finish. Here. too are made the well-known Swiss machine em- broideries and etched laces. Watch and clock making are carried on around Geneva and along the French border This industry has suffered heavily under increasing American competition: for the American factor ies turn out watches every wit as good and as reasonable in price. The silk industry of Switzerland is found in Zurich. Basil, upon the Rhine. is the first customs station.
 The advantages that have aided the Swiss in their energetic strivinRs for material well-being are for the most part. such advantag gess as can be of little use while their neishbors on every hand are at war. One of the great aids to Swiss industrial progress has been, the. superabundance sof wa ter power, the nearness of the French coal fields etr St Etienne, moderate wages paid for labor, nearby markets fer the purchase of raw materials and for the sale of manufactured Foods. and han excellent ; system of communications by railway and splen did roeds- Switzerland, also was so placed between France Germany Italy and Austria-Hungary that she was able to fake certain toll in transit upon the trade which these lands did with one another Lastly. a splendid source of revenue to tha Swiss has been their incomparabie mountain scenery. According to one estimate, natural beauties have been regularly bringing into Switzerland more than hundred million dollars of tourists money. Two of these sources of income. that derived from transit freignt and that created an n,lally by thousands of free spending visitors. have been 4 completely de- stroycd by the war: and 1t is doubtful that the amounts thus lost to the mountain republics yearly revenue can be made good by strenuous atten- tion to, the special needs of the war markets.
