AUSTRIA BEGINS CU[T|VAT|NG
 AMERICA

VIENNA. July 1. - Correspond ence of the Associated Press. )-Am' orleans who have lived in Austria for the major part of the war have been delighted to notice a distinct change in the feeling of the public of late, a reversion to the old popularity which Americans always enjoyed here.
 The change has been noticeable no where more plainly than in the press which insisted that good relations and if possible better relations 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. It is a factor that involves some $l50,000,' 900 a year, for this is the sum that it is estimated is sent back to Hun. gary annually from it's citizens who in normal peace times wander out to America. So consistently have these emigrants sent back part of their earn ings that the government has come to take it into careful account when bud, get 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 Local and German patronage. The shrewd owners figure the matter out this way: No matter how the war comes out, it will be decade before the old peace time patronage from 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-Ameriean steamship lines constitute a third factor in the friendly relationships, for the theor- ists count on an unprecedented influx of travellers to Europe from the United States, an influx that very conceiv- ably may tax to the uttermost limit all existing transportation facilities, and reckon that if Austria-Hungary emerges from the war with the good prevent a veritable avalanche of busi- ness for steamer lines to Austria, more particularly so If Americans de- velop a partiality for Austrian resorts
 Austro- -Hungarians also do not hesi tate to admit that, if this part of the world is to be put back on a normal basis once more after the war, huge importations of raw materials are go- ing to be imperatively necessary for a time, and, what is more, an extend ed credit to cover these importations is going to be 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 by and large everyone will go back to the old things in use. The fact that substi- tutes have had to be created is but the way of proving that importation of raw materials is absolutely neces- sary-and America is the greatest ex- porter of them in the world.
 First and foremost, it is a question that is asked not unfrequently whether the monarchy is not going, after the war if not during it, to need its emi- grants to America more than it needs their money. Several army corps of Austro-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.
