men made up motoring parties to the
mainland and established headquarters
at country clubs and hunting lodges

THE FIELD OF TRAVEL AND RESORTS

as the bcwildered spectator fearfully
anticipates an accident, the toboggan
shoots down ipto the furrow and
around a beautlfully-shaped curve.
One Of the most attractive. and Ger
tainly very social sport, is bohsleigh-
ing. Long, low, padded toboggans,
seating as many as six persons, are
used, and under this heavy burden tho
bobsleigh shoots down it's course with
amazing speed. AS the leader sways,
almost automatically, the closely
crowded team bend themselves, thus
guiding the sleigh to the right or left;
selves drop on the snow or drive to
greater swiftness by bending forward
like jockeys. Strong iron spikes, which
are driven by q lever into the ice, en-
able the leader to stop the vehicle al
most instantly; but sudden applica-
tion Of these brakes whirls up the ice
and snow in clouds, shaking and jolt
ing the riders.
Skiing has taken root to an extraor-
dinary extent In Switzerland; even
the poorest youth does not want to do
without skis, though they might only
consist of couple of crudely ad
ski, the boys and girls living on re-
motely situated farms are now able to
attend school every day; their parents
are no longer isolated for the best
part of the long winter months, and,
thanks also to these wooden Wings"
the mail and newspapers can be deliv-
cred regularly.
Sport is furthermore made easier by
the different mountain railways, which
in winter run toboggan trains. Thus,
one can travel a couple of stations up
ward and arrive at the starting point
Of mountain road without exertion
and without waste of time. Then one
descends to the valley on toboggan,
ski or skates, or vice versa, go down
first and return by train to winter
quarters. Races. competitions, sleigh
drives, ice carnivals, ski excursions
and an equal variety Of fascinating in
door entertainments transplant the
happy winter visitor into totally diff
ferent world, where sorrow and care
seem to be banished and where every
human being seems to realize that the
best life, after all, is found right next

Nowhere on earth have the posi-

keenly realized than in Switzerland,
and that is why we find in this small
land such a great choice of resorts
which possess scientifically laid out
toboggan and bobsleigh runs, ice
Kinks and thrilling ski-jumps.
Very shortly we find everybody in

WINTER sport. There is skating, Of
course, but many games compete now
with this oldest Of sports on the ice,
which has, however, been developed
into an art which charms the onlook-

ments, now astonishes by the cool
daring of its swift rushes.
AS in summer over the lawn, so flies
the tennis ball over the ice in the
game of hockey. Curriers' are franti-

diversity of gymkhana stunts offers
constant amusement for the players
as we'll as for the onlookers.
The improved appliances for sport
requirements have nearly ousted the
old-fashioned herdsmens sleds, which
are now only occasionally used by
timid beginners. The up-to-dat vehi-

SOME INSIDE FACTS

Washington. April l5.-The inside
facts relating to the refusal of the
American troops to aid the japanese
troops who were annihilated by the
BolShevists in February last, and
which facts are now being used in
japanese newspapers to foment trou-
bile between the United States and
Japan. were told today for the first
time by officials of this government
The facts are these: First, that when
American troops were sent into Siberia
they were given definite instructions
as 10 operations and to international
policies.
Second, the troops were ordered to
protect as far as possible the Czecho-
Slovak column from all enemies. and
If there had been no collapse of the
Germans on the French front, they
were to protect this column in every
military way
Third. They were ordered to keep
sufficient force at VIadivostok. where
there were stores of American prop
crty which had been sent there to
assist Russli when she was an ally.

It was explained here that under
the very definite orders given to Ma
Tor General Graves he would have ex-

had he combined with the Japanese
to attack and capture a village, espe-
cialy as General Graves believed and
indicated to the Japanese commander
that he did not regard the forces in
the village about to be attacked as
Bolshevists.
The understanding here Is that
General Graves thought the attack
unnecessary. as he thought the trou-
