T i I KED in between Ilavorin, Sw it zerland and the Austrian Tyrol, in the midst of the 'noun. tins, lies the district Vorarl- berg, which after the war tried to es- cape front the domination of Austria by voting in favor of Joining Switzer- land. Pr. hit very few persons In the United States had ever before even beard of Vorarlberg, which usually has been tnistakenly lumped in with the Tyrol. There is a perfectly well- defined boundary bet ween Vorarlberg and the Austrian Tyrol—namely, the waterahed between the Rhine and the Doman), says the New Y. irk Times. Travelers over the Arlberg [MSS 1 1 111Y see this boundary duly nuirked with a monument. The nollit. Vorarlberg means the 1/11111 beyond the Arlberg pass\—\beyond,\ that Is, from the point of view of a person looking westward over the pass front the AIM - talon Tyrol. T.Ite springs of the Rhine in Switz- erland are not far from the southern boundary of Vorarlberg. across the mountain known as the Ithatikon. Iii this part of Switzerland Is the far- famed Engadine, with Its benith re- sorts ouch am Davos-Platz, Chur, etc.. very much better known to the world at large titan the region to the north of it. In the north Vorarlberg reaches the beautiful lake of Constance; on the shores of thnt lake Is Bregenz. the po- litical capital of the land. Bregenz yiehla precedence, so far as size Is con- cerned, to Dornbirn, up in the moun- tains behind the lake, but Ills neverthe- less the most important place In Vor- arlberg. The other leading towns are the railway Junction of Felditirch. where the lines from Tyrol, Germany and Switzerland meet, and Bludenz. Dornbfrn, has about 15.000 inhabitants, Bregenz about 10,000, Feidkirch and Bludenr, In the vicinity of 5,000 each. Grabbed by the. Hapsburgs. Previous to the break-up of the Ails- tro-Ilungarinn empire, Vorarlberg was administered by mm \stntthalter\ res!d- ing at Innahruck, capital of the Austri- an Tyrol, but It also had a.governor of Its own and an assembly of 21 mem- bers. it used to send four represent- atives to the reichsrat, or imperial par- linmeni, at Vienna. The Hapsburgs began by adding Vor- arlberg to their motley collection of territories back in the fourteenth Cell- tory. Feldkirch was Incorporated in their dominions In 1375. Bludenz anti the picturesque Montnvon valley in 1394, the Bregenz region In 1451 and 1523, Sonnenberg in 1455 and Holten- ems in 1765. It was after the onnex- ation of the latter to Austria that Em- press Maria Theresa united all the dis- tricts of the region under the name Vorarlberg and placed a governor over them with his residence at Bregenr. In 1782 the region was made a part of the Tyrol, and In 1804, during the Napoleonic wars, It was annexed to Bavaria. It was not until 1814 that Vorarlberg was separated from Ba- varia and restored, with the exception of the district of Hoheneck, to the Aus- trian crown. In the following year the region received its present status. The trot of Vorarlberg is 1.000 square 1111l(!s. and It has something like 150,000 Inhabitants, practically all of whom speak German, the exception being those who still cling to that strange dialect known ns \Romnnseh\ or \Romanic.\ which the Ronan set- tlers imprinted upon hie -Inhabitants of this region when It was known as Mayne. How Its People Live. In the more into sections of the little land the inhabitants are pas- toral; In the towns the spinning and weaving of cotton had risen before the war to a flourishing condition, ns had various other lines of industry. Trade WI the surrounding countries nIso grew rapidly In the years before the war; schools were improved, factories sprang up in the towns, roads sold bridges were built, and railway connec- tion established northward, westward, and eastward. From the leading Vor- arlberg centers—Bregenz, Feldkirch, Bludenz—one may travel in a fel, hours to Linsittn, the Bavarian port on the Lake of Constance, and thence to Ilunich, \(est ward to Innsbruck and Vienna, westward into Switzerlinati alIll Ernitee.

BRITAIN HAS 80,000 CADDIES Future of These indispensable Golf Ad- visers is Worrying Club Offi- cials of the Country. Almost 80,000 eaddies trudge the golf courses In the United Kimadom, mostly youths between fourteen and eighteen. The question of their future is seriously exercising the minds of the golf club secretaries, who have the welfstre of the race at heart.
