Lausanne Jealous
Of Rump Conventions

DGC. SO--1I dHClGut
times Lausanne was Il series Of vine
yards scattered along the jagged
foothills overlooking Lake Leman.
The vineyards have given away to
immense resort hotels and boarding
schools. among which winding roads
loop the loop. and cog railways afford
transportation to folks who are in a
hurry.
Delegates to the Lausanne con-
ference have discovered that when
ever anyone wants to go anywhere in
Lausanne, one starts in the opposite
direction and is liable to recross his
path several times before arriving at
his destination. There is no such
thing as a straight street line in
Lausanne. Things which are not
curved are angular. Even the bridges
which span the numerous ravines are
seldom straight. Streets. churches,
houses and parks are scattered over
the irregular heights in helter- skel-
ter manner which gives the city
great charm, but is maddening to
newspaper correspondents and dele
gates who lack the mountain climb
ing ability Of chamois and find it
necessary to visit the scattered dele
cations and conference centers.
Lausanne's chief business center
is located about halfway up the
mountainside and adjoins the Casino,
where the opening session of the con-
ference was held. The Turkish and
French delegations live at the Palace
Hotel, which is on the same level
with the Casino. Also the main tole-
graph Office is on this level. But the
on the lake shore. near the Hotel du
Chateau, where the meetings of COM
missions are held. This is probably
half a mile from the Casino, as the
crow flies. but the winding roadways
run the taXicab meters up to two
miles. and no stranger can find his
Way without a guide. The Greek,
Russian. Bulgarian and other minor
delegations are scattered at different
levels between the heart of the city
and the shoreline. Many Of their
hotels are far from cog-railways and
r a M ines. Consequently Alpine
stocks and hobnailed boots are in
great demand among newspaper men
who must keep in touch with the far
flung delegations.
New delegations are being dis
covered almost daily in secluded ho-
tells tucked into mountain groves at
resorts miles from Lausanne. Mont.
