Though presently we shall doubtless be jostling one another to read this or that aerial argonaut s experiences, the fascination of - reading about a trip round the world in a motor car has not quite gone by yet. It is not so long, indeed, since one was reading the account of the Pekin to Paris journey, and now comes the book of the Italian journalist, Antonio Scarfoglio, called simply “Round the World in a Motor Car.” Inasmuch as it contains ail account of the crossing of the American continent, it has just that much more appeal to readers on that side of the Atlantic than the earlier volume had. So short is the public’s memory that, people have already be gun to forget that race across the hemispheres which, in its time, obscured all other subjects in those newspapers, at least, in this and that metro polis, which had taken active share in the enter prise. Like North Pole discoveries, and most other such competitions which are inevitably associated with personal advertisement, that motor car race across the continents was by no means without its dissen sions and dissatisfaction. Meanwhile there is no doubt that Signor Scarfoglio has made a most interesting book. He has not gone into any qf the quarrelings or bickerings overmuch; he has contented himself with a graphic record, of the journey. That record, shot through with the spirit of his Italianism, and his exuberant boyishness of the Latin, is full of things to interest both readers who motor and thooe who do not. At times the staccato manner of the narrator must move the plain American reader to smiles; but at the same time there is no denying that there is a ' certain charm about these naive touches of enthusi asm. It is true that at times essential and prosaic details are lost sight of while the author indulges in this or that fine frenzy or impressionism and shows us the state of his soul While we are more concerned about more tangible things. Still, you are not to suppose that he cannot hit true to facts when he wants to. Take, for instance, the matter of Ame rican roads. It is that detail, indeed, that gives this book much of its value. Americans are told just how their highways strike a foreigner, and it is by no mean® a- pleasant tale. Note this, proving the keen ness of the author at seizing the essential gist of the matter: “In America the high road is hardly known because the need for it does not exist. It is a country with out a history and without a past. Without effort and still quite new, it has come into contact with nations which for ages and ages have traveled laboriously behind the sun. It has taken to itself whatever seem ed best and most modern, caring little or nothing for the antique or the less good. . . . The railway was already in existence when America became an or ganised nation, so there was no use for the high road. The only means of communication which it has ever understood are the locomotive ana the rail way. Other systems were too ancient. The Americans have constructed railways for all their needs, and have allowed the old paths, trodden out by the herds of the first shepherds, to become covered with moss and furze. No one uses them, no one knows them, except three or four-farmers whom necessity urges from one cottage to another.” Admitting certain exaggerations, the heart of the thing is there, and one fancies, after one has tho roughly digested the awful experiences those travelers had on American Winter roads, that this Italian ob server might have said even worse things. About American architecture we read that it is “puerile and ingenuous—the same everywhere.” Vil lages strike our friend pleasantly, and he likes the way the houses are painted throughout the country; but the smaller American town is stamped, he de clares, with the brand of ugliness, and its provincial people give themselves swollen and pompous airs. We like to plunder names from other historic places, and then grotesquely to imitate the capitols, the pantheons and •coliseums of the older continent. A street, here in America, has the same importance and value as an electric car or an elevator ; it is merely a means of traffic; the item of beauty and that of leisure are absent from it. ’ The European observes in our streets that the population never uses them for rest and recreation. .(It should be observed, how ever, that this special criticism by Signor Scarfoglio is based on the streets of Chicago. In this particular he has shown his code of international courtesy by not referring to the noonday toothpick parade which is the most obvious feature of Chicago’s most con- i spicuous street.) • We do not, in many ways, appear to have pleased ; the signor. Like many other people, he hates the conspicuously rich, but he hates American opulence most of all “because it is paraded, thrown proudly in your face, and shown about as the only true sign of greatness.” He finds the reason for this fault Hn us—which, if he had been of the keener vision • of a Miinsterberg, he would have seen as only super- i ficial and covering a real idealism!—is that we are ! still, to all intents, a primitive people. He chooses j to regard our civilization as still muscular and material.. Town To/ucs. NEWS OF THE WORLD. NEW YORK, Tuesday.—For two days a violent snowstorm has raged over the Eastern States. Nothing like it has been experienced in twenty years. At Chelsea (Mass.) three persons met their deaths through a flood and 1500 are without shelter. Re ports from Philadelphia state that snow is 22 inches deep in the streets. In New York State, according to present advices, no fewer than fifteen people are dead from cold and exposure, but the total loss of life cannot yet be ascertained. All over the East railway, telegraphic, and telephonic communication is interrupted. (LATER).—According to later accounts^ eighteen people have met their deaths in the immediate vicinity of New York city. A five-masted vessel has been driven Ashore on the coast near Boston, and it i® believed that the 12 men composing the crew were drowned. PARIS, Tuesday,—Yesterday’s sitting of the Cham ber of Deputies was chiefly occupied by a discussion on the international situation. M. Pressense (Socialist) interpellated the Government regarding French policy during the negotiations following upon the Near Eastern crisis. He declared it was necessary to inter vene in the Cretan question, to co-operate in the estab lishment of a Balkan alliance and to secure the in dependence of Bulgaria. The speaker then asserted that a relaxation of the tension between England and Germany had set in, both countries now being inclined to discuss a'mutual limitation of armaments. The hour had come, continued M. Pressense, in which to found an international peace organisation. France must take a leading position in all questions relating to courts of arbitration and disarmament. In answer to various questions as to foreign policy, M. Pichon maintained that France, in increasing her means of defence, was rendering a permanent and useful service to the cause of peace. France, more over, had contributed to the maintenance of peace by her alliance with Russia and her other friendships and understandings. The policy of France in foreign affairs was based upon a regard for the people, who desired that no adventures should be entered into without jtheir consent being first asked. After pay ing a tribute to the work of The Hague Peace Con ference, M. Pichon declared the French Government to be animated by feelings of friendship towards all Governments. The Minister recalled the visits re cently exchanged between the Tsar of Russia and the President of the Republic and between the Rus sian and French Foreign Ministers. The Anglo- Russian entente, he said, was also a factor of great importance. The extremely cordial understanding of France and England and the amity between Russia and Italy had been demonstrated by recent inter course between the rulers of those States. M. Pichon assured his hearers that all difficulties with Germany arising from the Morocco question had been disposed of ; the Morocco question had ceased to be a cause of disturbance to Europe, but this was by no means to say that all difficulties in Morocco itself had ceased. Meanwhile, however, troubles which reoently sprang up had been settled, and he (M. Pichon) had thorough ly explained matter® to the Moroccan mission and come to an agreement. The result of the Franco- German agreement, which served a useful purpose for both parties, had immediately resulted in a slacken ing of the tension and an improvement in the diplo matic situation. M. Pichon proceeded to discuss the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Turkish and the Cretan questions; and finally an order of the day, approving the Government’s attitude, was almost unanimously adopted. MADRID, Tuesday.—This morning’s Heraldo re ports that the heavy rainfall at a village in the vicinity of Viana (Province of Navarre) caused several houses to collapse on their foundations, and that 28 people were killed. rfvn n#09 *
