Who Live in Austria Than for
Some Time after the Euro.
pean War Began.

VIENNA, July 6.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated PressJ Americans
who have Lived in Austria for the ma
jor part Of tho war have been delight
ed to notice a distinct change in the
feeling of the public Of late, reyer-
sion to the old popularity which
Americana always enjoyed here.
Tho change has been noticeable no.
where more plainly than in the press,
which has insisted that good relations
and II possible better relations be-
tween these countries and the repub-
lie arc desirable for both sides.
Some Factors.
One factor is the emigration ques-
ton. which touches Hungary more
acutely than It does Austria. 1t ts d
factor that involves some Sl50,OOO,0OO
year, for this Is the sum that 1t Is
estimated Is sent back to Hungary an
nually 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 1t
into careful account whom budget and
taxation matters come 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, 1t
will be a decade before the old peace
time patronage from England, France
and Russia can be won back. Ameri-
cans, however they estimate will al
most 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 theorists
count on an unprecedented influx Of
travellers to Europe from the United
States, an influx that very COnceivably
may tax to the uttermost limit all ex
isting transportation facilities, and
reckon that II Austria-Hungary
energies from the war with the good
will of Americans there is nothing to
prevent veritable avalanche Of busi-
ness for steamer lines to Austria,
more particularly so II Americans de-
yelop partially for Austrian re-
sorts
Credit to he Needed.
Austro-Hungarians also do not hes
itate to admit that, If this part Of the
world is to be put back on normal
basis once more after the war, huge
importatlons of raw materials are go
ing to be imperatively necessary for
time, and, what is more, an extend
ed credit to cover these imDortations
is going to be almost essential.
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-
servative men among the Central
powers feel positive that everyone will
20 back to the old things in use. The
fact that substitutes have had to be
created is but the way Of proving that
importation Of raw materials is abso-
lutely necessary--and America is the
greatest exporter OF them in the world
First and foremost. 1t is a question
that is asked not unfrequently wheth-
or the monarchy is not going, after
the war If not during it, to need its
emigrants to America more than 1t
needs their money. Several army
corps Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are in the
United States, many or most Of whom
