Americans Flock
To Oberammergau
For Passion Play
Takes Heavy Toll
From Travellers and Ac-
commOdatiOns Fall Short
of Demand; Weather Bad

MUNICH, Bavaria, May 10 by The
American tourists passed through Mu-
mich to-day on their way to Oberam-
mergau to attend the formal opening
performance tomorrow Of the Passion
Play, the classic spectacle depicting
the resurrection Of Christ.
There were scores of Americans
among the tourists who left this city
in open buses this morning, despite
the biting cold weather and drizzlng
rain. Others left on special trains
later. all planning to arrive in time for
the opening Of the play, scheduled to
begin at s o'clock tomorrow morning
Outstanding among the tourists diff
cuties, reported by travel agencies
here, is the prevailing high prices in
Munich. whose tradesmen are frankly
discriminating against foreigners. Many
places make no effort to conceal the
fact that the scale of prices is higher
for Americans than for other foreign
ers. due to the increased value Of the
dollar over other countries. Hotel
keepers justify these unusual rates by
claiming that the Bavarian government
forces them to buy foreign provisions.
ooSu 40 ouEAi, iiOuA' DutbSL una CsSo, ~
they are housing foreign guests, and
they must pay the prices demanded for
such foreign supplies.
1t is common knowledge here that
beginning May 10 the government re-
quired the three state theaters Of Mu-
mich to charge foreigners FIVE times
the price paid by native playgoers. 1t
is useless for the artful visitor to have
native buy his tickets in order to
avoid the extra charge, since identifca
tion papers are required Of all theater-
goers al the time of admittance.
Accomm odations for handling the
crowds going to Onerammergau are
obviously cramped. An American off,
cial Of one Of the principal travel bu-
reaus has opened negotiations to take
over all the hotels in Munich for the
whole season. He declared day the
local arrangements did not realize the
size Of the summer tourist business,
despite the fact that already there are
1900 reservations for later perform

George V Places Flowers on
Sergeant's Tomb in France

WlMEREUX. France, May 13 (By The
Associated Press). After night on a
special train from Brussels, King
George of Great Britain, day visited

Queen of the Belgians. placed a bunch
of forget-me-nots on the tomb If Ser
geant Matthew, whose mother sent the
flowers to the Queen in Brussels with
the request that she place them upon
the soldiers grave. Since Queen Mary
came on a later train the King under
took this mission himself.
The Kings pilgrimage to the British
military cemeteries ended this after
noon with a visit to the cemetery near
Boulogne, where the Queen rejoined
him. Later they returned to London.

THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES.

If any one is qualified fairly to COM
pare or contrast the young people of to-
day with those of one or more decades
ago. it should be the wise, sane teacher
who has worked with young people over
the whole period. Such a teacher has
said a good word for the studious habits
of the present-day high school pupil.
This teacher, who has taught for As
years. declares that she finds the young
today are about the same as when she
began teaching There are pupils who
hate school and come only because
driven there by their parents. There are
also pupils who realize their opportunity
and attack the job of acquiring an edu-
cation with purpose and determination,
Both these groups existed half a century
ago. Both represent a small part of the
whole group of pupils. The large mid
die group goes its laughing way much as
usual. Says the teacher:
II cannot see that the more complex
life we are living now or the much more
complex amusements make any differ
.ence whatsoever. If anything, there is
closer attention to study, for children

THE CROWDED ETHER.

The public learned with surprise that
the government had forbidden to ANA
tours the ''broadcasting" of music and
.othcr forms of wireless telephone enter
tainment except in special cases to be
authorized by federal license. Still
more surprising was the announcement
that the cabinet spent almost an entire
session discussing the crowding of the
ether by wireless waves.
The ether-that marvellous substance.
never seen, felt, smelled, tasted or heard,
which is assumed by scientists to per-
mcate all matter and to be the medium
which carries light waves and electric
vibrations of all sOrts-is certainly bus
! icr than it has ever been before in its
eternal life. The ether can stand it, but
the human agencies that claim priority
in its use cannot. Messages are inter
! fering with each other, as a result of
/ promiscuous use of the same wave
ilengths by many people for many pur-
poses, until receiving instruments meant
for serious use are swamped and have
trouble picking out the special messages
intended for them.
There has been a great development in
wireless apparatus the last few months,
as result of the pooling of basic inven-
tions by five formerly competing com
panies and the placing of their joint
product on the market Thousands of
amtcurs have been buying wireless re-
ceiyerS, and hundreds of individuals,
business firms, news agencies and amuse-
ment concerns have taken TO sending
broadcast their information or entertain
mcnt, for the benefit of anyone caring
to listen in"
This has got to be stopped, the gov
eminent decided. until adequate rules
can be formulated to control the wire
less traffic. 1t is believed that control is
possible. without undue interference with
private rights and. without retarding the
normal development of the new means of
communication. 1t will probably in
volve the close restriction of radiophone
entertainment. private business. personal
messages. etc, TO special wave-length
limits and special times, and federal SUI
pervision TO make sure that manufac-
turers and users of the apparatus arc
observing the rules.

Pleasure Resorts and Farming.
{ Barre Times. !

That the summer resort business and
farming can go hand in hand is the con-
tention of the Boston Transcript, (which
comments on a note of fear from Maine
that the growing action Of wealthy peo-
pie in buying mp great tracts of land is
to the detriment of agriculture III the
following manner:
But it has not been the development
of the summer resort that has caused
the decline of New England agriculture.
Its sad state is in evidence far from the
summer palace of the millionaire and the
humble boarding house of the clerk aud
the Stenographer. And while we may
deplore the condition of agriculture in
this section, the country as a whole still
manages to do enough farming TO keep
civilization from trembling in the bal
ance. So Maine may safely boom its
summer resort business without fear that
in so doing il viii reverse the progress
Of the ages. And the multitude will CON
tinue to flock to Names hundred -har-
bored shore. to the banks of her winding
streams, and the dim recesses of the
great woods, regardless of the predic-
ton that civilization may drop dead in
this playground of a nation.
Agriculture began to wane in many a
state long before the arrival of the peo-
pie on pleasure and recreation bent and
the latter cannot be blamed for such de-
cline. As a matter of fact, many of
those people who buy up large tracts of
land in various parts of New England
have built up the agricultural life Of
their immediate section by introducing
methods of practical farming which the
people of smaller pOcketbooks could not
do have increased the productivity of
the land and have contributed greatly to
the sum total of the wealth of the world
by getting greater returns out of the
ground. The coming of people of large
means from other sections ought to be
welcomed in Vermont, as well as in
Maine In many instances they help to-
ward the upbuilding of the state and the
region.

THE DISTURBING MoNGOOsE

Human immigrants are not the only
kind that may produce undesirable
changes in a country. Take the mon
goose, for instance.
It is related that some years ago n
few mongeese-Or mongOoses, or what
ever they are-were admitted to ia
maica, to kill snakes The invaders did
their duty, and killed nearly all the
snakes on the island. Then, having no
more snakes to eat, they made war upon
the ground nesting birds. devouring their
eggs and their young until most of the
birds in Jamica were gone. Thereupon,
because of the bird scarcity, the insects
began to flourish nightly on the island,
and crops were ruined and the human in
habitants were in danger of extermina-
ton. 1t was found necessary to get
rid of the mOngOoses-Or mongeese.
This chapter in natural history is in
teresting just now because the United
States immigrant authorities are on
their guard against the animal in ques-
ton. determined not to let it get a start
and certain other pests have done. 1t
is usefully suggestive of how the natural
equilibrium of life may be disturbed in
the most unexpected ways by the intro
duction or elimination of some appar-
emily unimp0rtant animal, bird, insect
or plant. Nature usually knows what
she is about

of Sir Ronald Ross. whose many honOrS

1894 Sir Ronald. then a surgeOn-m ma or

in malaria. lie set out to find which OF
the 500 species of mosquito was reSpon-
sible for the spreading of the dread dis
ease. He continued his work for over
two years. and then, instead of being dis
heartened by the lack of interest shown
by the authorities. resigned from the
army so that he could carry on his inves-
LEGATIONS unhampered. Finally. success
came in 1899, when, working on dis
coyery he had made some time before,
he found that two kinds of mosquitoes
carried the germs. and that to reduce
malaria all that had TO be done was to
prevent the pests breeding in marshes
and pools As a result of his advice,

cleared the town of Ismailia of malaria.
