There was country with no ma
tional language, whose inhabitants
we're OF German. French and Italian
origin, and they all proved themselves
superior TO any ties Of ancestry.
Three-quarters OF the people were of
German descent, yet Switzerland
preserved it's neutrality, and the ma
tionalistic feeling OF the Swiss was
emphasized by the war. Above all,
the inhabitants said, I am a Swiss,
and the remarkable thing was that
they were aolc TO maintain that ma
tional sentiment.
The hotels Of Switzerland are
probably now more ,dcsolate than
they were during the war The recu-
gees have returned TO their own
countries, and the tourist trace has
not yet begun. At st. MOritz, how
ever, the winter sports were as well
attended as ever before last winter.
The bears Of Bcrne and the lions
OF Luccrne are still there for the de-
llCtation Of the tourist and the Swiss
clocks, linens, cheese and the incOm-
parable hotels are ready for the
American.
In a great measure, the Swiss are
like us" Mr.. Gary concluded, and
they are very sympathetic and friend
ly toward the United States. Their
ideas and government are like ours,
and their national psychology Is
somewhat the same. They Ike Amer
leans and they are preparing 20 be
inimitable hosts to thousands of
Amer cans this summer.
Life insurance passed its suprsino
test in Europe from 1914 TO 1915" de-
clared Godfrey 2, Bacon head "a one
of London's largest insurance agen-
lieS, who is at the Pennsylvania.
"One can realize that with millions
OF casualties, and hundreds Of thou
sands of people permanently or tenn
pOrarlly disabled, the strain on nfe
insurance companies was almost be-
yond imagination. Yet so far as Eng
lish companies were concerned, they
met it without staggering, with one
or two minor exceptions. Almost all
the claims were paid; it seems TO me
that this Is the best proof of the sta
bility OF life insurance"
Prospective nimrods will be IN
terested in the news which Jack
Hobby, manager Of the Grown
Hotel Providence, who is now at
the Waldrof, has brought back
from the Maine woods.
'"rhe camps and hotels are so
crowded this spring" he tells us,
that it is impossible to get
enough guides to go around.
Parties of twelve and fifteen are
forced to accept one old guide to
show them the choice pools OF the
vicinity or else depend on their
own intuition and take chance
alone. The weather has been
wonderful, however, and the fish

Japan is injured by the anti-Jap-

spect," according to Charles Y Will
marth, who has been manager OF a
Yokohama hotel for three years and
Is now at the McAlpin. The propo-
Eanda has practically ruined the tour
Is' trade so far as Americans are
concerned. The stories OF abuse to
which Americans are subjected and
of which | have seen nothing have
caused the cancellation OF hundreds
of steamship reservations. Otherwise
the talk is not felt nor heard in
Japan"
Mr. Wilmarth COncurs with the ma

biggest and most important factor in
our war, and 1t should DO the moSl

1T would be a good plan for the
American and Canadian Governments
TO establish a mail service between
important cities. The transit time t.
Canada from New York by train could
be greatly cut down by aeroplan'
travel, and aero landings might bt
made at Buffalo, Syracuse, RocheS'
