Geneva, Astride the River Rhone.,

.Prepared by the National Geographic 80- I cfety. Washington, D. C.) . Because so many tourists Imve j flocked to Swiss beauty spots for <Vnturles and must needs be Switzerland has been referred to. extravagantly, of course,/{is “a nation Slyire the World war Internationa! meetings have been 30 frequent within the mountainous little republic that the nickname'may well be changed jto ‘.'country of world confe cnees.” Lausanne, latest of Swiss cities to become a hostess to diplomats with the- meeting filel-Cof" the NVaF'EasT conference, is not so. well known by name, perhaps, as some, of ifs“sisTeT towns, hut the products of none other are more commonly at hand among Americans. Look over the shelves of a grocerystore and, prominently displayed on the shelf of condensed builk, you are almost sure to find a variety made at Lausanne. Scan the .confectioner's counter In any drug More and there. In black paper and silvery foil,' will be a milk chocolate-made at Vevy, not far away, and probably shipped via . Lausanne. An i nevitalde- mental morsel of a public library is Gibbon's “Rome,” and the last three volumes of that work were penned at Lausanne. ’’‘Stroll’ along th-aa&lji__st£eet of an American town that dates hack to colonial days, or among the “For Sale" signs of your city’s newest suburb, and you are likely to note a mansard roof —invention of the Frenchman, Francois Mansard, whose fame is enhanced by a beautiful chateau in the vicinity of Lausanne. Lausanne is the all-year-round hostess city of Switzerland. In 1910, by ■count, nearly one-fourth of the 4'6,000 residents were citizens of other countries than Switzerland. And in 1922, by estimate, this proportion lias been restored, despite the war’s disturbance. From Lake Geneva the other part of the city especially is striking, trailing the crests of five ribbed hills, which are the lower slopes of Mount Jorut, with the cathedral of Notre Dame, the finest medieval church edifice of Switzerland, easily the most conspicuous feature. From the Signal, whence many a writer has painted word pictures of the lakeside city, the eye again catches the massive bulk of the Gothic cathedral, sweeps red-roofed houses, rebels at the factories of the newer town to the south and west, but is captivated, by the expanse of the lake’s blue waters, across which the "Jagged teetli of the Savoy mountains bite into the sky.” University Is Famous. The luster of famous names clings chiefly to the university buildings. Though the institution did not achieve a formal university status until 1921, It has been famous since its founding, in 1537, the year after Berne took over the control of Lausanne. Previously, it had been said, Laifsanne "lay dormant nt the base of Its many churches." The tide of !he Reformation swept in with the Bernese affiliation. A school was needed' to train young preachers quickly to spread Protestant doctrine. ~ Thus Pierre Vlret, a tailor's son. became the John Harvard of Lausanne. Then come Conrad Oesner, whose fame rests on a solid pedestal of more than three score works In science, ranging from philology to botany. Overtopping tills prodigious research was-hts enumeration of sortie 500 plants not hitherto recorded. Most humanly appealing of these early scholars was Theodore Beza, who graduated from the adventures of a cavalier, a sort of medieval “than about town,” and forsook the writing of sprightly and risque verse for the chair of Greek aiyl morals at Lausanne. Then he turned his pen to Biblical dramas hefore he went to Geneva to be Calvin's -hies aide. The Simplon tunnel assures Laulanne’s future. The city now lies alons the main rail route from Paris to Milan. While Lausanne Is temporarily In die public eye fistt forum for the dlstasslon of world problems, Its sister -rlty, Geneva, stands on a more permanent international fdoting as seat of the League of Nations. This “world ■ japital" Is seated serenely on both hanks of the River Rhone, where it leaves the limpid waters of Lake Geeeva ns a placid stream, in contrast

to the muddy/urbulence of its ingress *at the other tmd of the lake. The city is not the metropolis of the miniature republic of Switzerland, for Zurich surpasses* it in population by 50 per cent, and Berne is the capital. But it is doubtful whether, before the World war, any other city of Geneva's size •was visited annually by as many tourists. sos it was the main "gateway into the world-famous playground of Eli-, rope. Although its recorded history goes back beyond the Christian era, to the _t Uu& " hofi -Tiii ina .Caesa c, In ills, emurttentaries on his first expedition into ..Gaul, mentions it as a stronghold of ?iie All obliges, its. growth lias been phenomenal (inly in its leisureliness. Today, after 20 centuries, it lias iess than one-thinl thg population of the century-old caftftal of the United St ates. Tlie city enjoys the distinction of being tile birthplace of the. International Red Crogg,_.J)jit„also„Uas-j-onie dark chapters lb its past —th£ religious ex cesses of the'Reformation, when the persecuted became the persecutor's. Geneva’s Noted Men. Rousseau, of whom Napoleon said, “Witfivmt hbni;.’F)itm,tj \ytmtd~nprmya Imil .biv'Revolution’’; and tin- patriot' Bonivard, whose trials i’lyron- itoniortnllzed as tin- ‘'‘Prisoner of CliiHon," were Genevans. Farel, the Billy Sunday of his day, who could not lie made to desist from preaching, even though the women of his congregation dragged him up and down the aisles of the church by" ids beard, made the lake city his headquarters during his ascendancy. And John Calvin, “who found Geneva a hear garden and left it a docile school of piety,” was virtual dictator here for a quarter of a century. One of the most picturesque figures in the history of Geneva during tli is period was Francois de Bonivard, who, when his victorious friends rushed into Ills dungeon at Chillon crying. “Bonivard, you are free!” responded with the query, “And Geneva?” Upon being assured that his city was also saved, he went home rejoicing. By one of those curious- chances upon which hinge events of monumental moment, —tlw yVamg French philosopher, John ’Calvin, a native of Picardy, passed .through Geneva one evening on his way to Strassburg. He had intended spending only one night; but Farel, hearing of Ids arrival, rushed to him las in tlie vicinity of the park which characterized every act of his life, convinced Calvin that it was his duty to remain an/1 assist In the organization of theocratic State. There Is no more beautiful picture pf Christian charity than the scene In this city when, on August 30, 1572, merchants of Lyons brought news of the massacre of the Huguenots on St. Bartholomew’s day. Pastors were dispatched to tlie frontiers to meet the fugitives who were reported to he on their'way to this asylum, and the venerable Theodore de Beze, who had succeeded Calvin as the spiritual head of the council, directed the whole population to fast and pray for the suffer ers. j. Geneva has. set aside'ns a site for ,the permanent tJie League of Nations, a beautiful wodSen park <bor : dering on . the lake, some five miles from the center of the city. Behind the park tower the snow-clsd .Turn mountains. While there are many vllhas In the vicinity of the park which are snitpUle for offices and for quarters of the delegates and their secretarial staffs, the capltol building itself must be built. On These Crispy Momln’s. "On these crispy, crimpy mornin's when I hear my rooster crow no blankets can’t seduce me when my system hollers ’Go.’ So I clmrge the autumn landscapes with a military trend, reapin' victory after victory—till it's time to go to bed.
