who are in Vienna on furlough. In
peace times there were about 10
per cent permanent guests in the
hotels; now the number has in
creased TO over 60 per cent. and
hardly 40 per cent of the hotel
rooms are available for transients.
The authorities ought to keep strict
watch over this matter; they night
make an interesting discovery. A
hotel of 500 rooms now has work

these 100 rooms only 10 per cent or
so are vacated every day, so that
only 10 or Is out of a total of 500
rooms can be reassigned on any

hotels are crowded and there is a
lack of rooms. When the war is
over and the military occupancy of
hotels ceases, Vienna will need only
half as many hotels. Of course. as
long as the hotels are rented for
fairly long periods, hotel linen is
saved. but, on the other hand. the
hotels are losing many regular pa

NO TRANSMITS

VIENNA PACKED

A peculiar phenomenon Of recent
times in Vienna has made itself
felt more and more unpleasantly-
the scarcity OF lodgings Travellers
from the country arriving in Vi
enna without having engaged hotel
accommodations a week in advance
are subjected very frequently to
great discomfort: they must 60 for
hours from one hotel to another
before they find lodgings All the
hotels are overcrOWded; almost ev-
erywhere the clerk answers: Not
q room left" And at that there
are hardly any real strangers in
the city; that is, any travellers from
foreign countries. The manager Of
d very popular big hotel in the cen
ter Of the city gives US the follow
ing interesting account Of COndI-
tons:
The difficulties in finding lOdg-
ings in q Vienna hotel are due pri-
mariIy TO the fact that a good two
thirds Of the available hotel rooms
in Vienna are IN permanent hands;
that IL, they are rented for con
siderable period Of time. The hotel

yards left between him and certain death,
Perdridge reganed his senses and managed by
superhuman effort TO right the plane. His
companion also recovered consciousness, and
both escaped alive from their terrible adven-
ture.
Another thrilling case was that of Grenier,
an aviator who fell in the Marne. He fell-a
sort of nose-dive in which the air still partly
held and sustained the plane-into a wheat
field near battery.
When the gunners pulled his unconscious
form from the wreckage, they expected to find
that he had been wounded by shrapnel or ma
