Lausanne, I believe, must be the
hillest country in Europe. I often
thought of the town in Graustark
Thc bridges and buildings on the
series of hills, and the lake at the
foot of the city stretching out before
your eyes to its background of snow
capped mountain peeks and clear
skies of blue, dotted here and here
with pleasure and sailing vessels. In
deed it is a wonderful picture.
The second aay in Switzerland
we went to Geneva. It is a very in^
teresting place but as the capital oi
the world, it ig rather disappointing.
Thc city is nestled down between
three borders of mountains and the
lake, built in the shape of a horse
shoe with the river Rhine beginning
at the bend of the shoe. It was
built mainly for tourists and that is
tho impression you get of it. It
very dean and consists mostly of
hotels.
At tho end of the long costly
walk along thc lake front is the hotel
which is thc executive headquarters
of the League of Nations, the resi
dence of the secretariat. On the
other side of the city is the dinky lit
tle hall where the assembly met. Oui
Glover’s opera house is most as good
The walls are undecorated, the seats
are row of hard wooden benches and
thc hall is entirely bare. Neverthe
less Geneva is well worth the time
As for the Swiss people, the na
tion must have been greatly enrich
ed by the war for wealth is quite in
evidence on all sides. Everything in
Switzerland is absolutely clean, spicL
and span. The people are Italian
French. German or mixed, with their
first allegiance to Switzerland. Like
the French, they are the very es
scnce of politeness and are very nief
and accommodating.
On leaving Lausanne for Milan
we went through the center of the
Alps. They are very magnificent
but not much more impressive than
the Rockies. We passed through
the longest tunnels in thc world

who had bought it in at recciv.rWi-

erty May 1, it was announced todarJ’*
and thc work of the post will be con
tinued from a private homo which
the workers will take, as was the
plan before thc building was ac- —
qulred. The conditions for tho
a-1
transfer of tne property to the Sal
vation Army organization were nov-
cr met, and the local post found tho
burden of maintaining such a largo
building too great an expense, anil
decided to relinquish it.
Capt. Luella Knox, of tho Salva
tion Army, stated ' this afternoon
that thc building was being abandon
ed because tho local post had been
ordered by headquarters to give up
the cafeteria.
“People, I think, gencraly under
stand," said she, “that the cafeteria
was not a part of thc Salvation
Army work. When we were or
ranging to buy thc building for a
home wc established the cafeteria,
hoping through it to help pay for tho
building. But now that has fallea
through, so we are giving up th*
building and have rented a little co>
tngo at the cast end of Church
street from Mrs. George Oliver, and
from it will ocnduct our purely Sal
vation Army work."
Just what will be done with this
splendid structure is problematical. -
It was stated that an architect has
