PEOPLE OF AUSTRIA AND
 HUN GARY ARE DIFFERENT
Americans Travelling in Those Coun-
 tries Have Found Them So.
Berne smitzerIanG Ang 1-An

Berne, Switzerland, Aug. Amer jeans who have recently travelled through Austria Hungary say they have been much impressed with the difference in the attitute of the people in the two countries towards the war. In Austria life goes on very much as usual and the general public appar- ently pay little attention to the prog ress of the campaigns. In Hungary, on the other hand, everybody seems keenly interested, far more people are seen reading the newspapers, and the War-bulletins are eagerly scanned and discussed.
 Except in the country between Inns lcrUCk and the Swiss frontier, north of the Italian war-zone, railway trav- cling is not difficult in Austria. But there all the express trains have been taken off and passengers are closely scrutinized. Persons leaving Austria, natives as well as neutraIs, are held up on the Swiss frontier for a period varying from a. week to twenty days, and compelled to pay their own hotel expenses. The object of this measure presumably is that they should not bring cut any fresh news of what is going on. AuStrians and Hungarians arc specially directed not to give any information regarding affairs in the
 monarchy, and warned that if they are found to have done so they will be severely punished when they come back
 With the help of women and chil- drcn the work on the land seems to be carried on pretty well, and every bit of ground is carefully cultivated. But

FRENCH SOCIETY WOMEN
 CARRY BRITISH STICKS
Carried Only in the Bois de Boulogne Go With Short Skirts.

Paris August 1.-The British officers "swagger sticlI' is seen again in the delicate bejewelled hands of French society women in the Bois de Boulogne. It is the third time in recent years that the fashion of "capes for women" has been tried. They appeared at Trouville in 1898 iG the hands of a well known Partisan authOresss. A spasmodic attempt to introduce it was made soon after the British troops be- gan disembarking in French ports but it got no further than the bOulevards. The boulevards finally tired of it, then the fashionable ''faubOrgs' took it up.
 It is carried only in the BOis de BouIogne and it goes with the inevit able short skirt, with gaiters prefer ably to high boots and with a jacket having four pockets and resembling, even to the brass buttons, the regula- ton khaki vareuse of the British Cffic- CT. A jaunty velvet tOque resembling the army fatigue cap completes the martial air of the costume. The fash ion has not been so general since the Directory, about the same time that London tried 'muffs for men" and while Vienna was experimenting with monocles for women"

the making munitions trade seems bad.
 Foreigners are amazed to see how few newspapers the Viennese read, and they buy still less. preferring to read them in the cafes. Papers are not allowed to be sold in the streets, but only by tobacconists and news agents and it ie said that fewer papers are sold in Vienna. proportionately to the population, than in any other cap ital in Europe.
 The Viennese are as friendly as ever to foreigners The police do not trouble them and it is not even neces- Sary to produce g passport for a short visit. Many French citizens have re- mained in Vienna and can talk in their own language on the streets unmo- tested. The Viennese show no great hatred for any of their enemies except the Italians, against whom they are
 fearfully bitter.
 In Budapest the war seems much
 more in evidence. There are more military trains carrying troops against the Russians and large numbers of German soldiers are going down tc the Orient. Then there are great con- signments of grain and petroleum anG
 other products passing through Hun
 gary from Rumania to Germany. This last is a very significant indi- cation of the new political and eco homie developments going on between 1 IILc CGLlLdl I O"eiS dllu lIie 6atkaQS The war has brought these untries much closer together having showI | Germany and Austria Hungary how absolutely essential it is to maintain open communication through th' l Balkans with Turkey and the Nea | East. Important conferences havt
 been held lately in Budapest, Viena i Munich and other German cities witt ] regard to improving and developins 1 the Danube navigation and construct 1 ing caanI communications between l that river and the principal rivers il i Germany
 But while participating in thes
 meetings both Austria and Hungar. i are secretly greatly concerned at Ger nlany's intense interest in the sub 1 iect, dreading to sec her commercial l activities in the Balkans strengtheneI l by such improved communications. T 1 business competition the Austrian ! and Hungarians are no match for tn 1 Germans, who have in recent year l greatly eXetnded their trade with tn i Balkan countries which was forner1, 1 largely in the hands of the merchant 1 of Vienna and Budapest.
