One of the TRADE BARONETER Present Increases Indicate | Economic Conditions in Eu- rope Are Improved. “One of the most significant indica- tions that central Europe is on the road to better economic conditions is the report of a commission of ex- perts that Danube shipping is. in- creasing,” notes a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic Society. “Economically the Danube is to the landlocked nations of IKurope what | the Mediterrancan is to the countries | of southern Europe. Once the north- ern fronticr of the Roman empire; of Huns, Slavs and Magyars; now the commercial main_street of central Europe, the Danube may claim to be the most important river of Europe, though it is exceeded by the Volga in length. Human Contrasts. “Human activity attains extremes along the Danube's course even more marked than the contrasts along bizarre Broadway, New York. Its waters see the revels and destitution of Vienna and flow by flat rocks on which Hungarian women pound their clothes with wooden mallets and bear them away in tubs on their heads. They pass mills like those of Minneapolis, bear vessels like those on the Hudson, and turn boat-borne water wheels to which peasants bring grain in primitive ox-carts with even the wheels kept in place by wooden pins. ! “The river halves Budapest and| courses .by busy Belgrade, where it! receives the waters of the Save. It} carries barges on which families | as- they do on canal boats. Grim cas- tles, great estates and tiny cottages stand along its banks. Varlety in Scenery. 1 “Scenically the Danube possesses | variety almost as infinite. Rising in| the Black Forest, some of its waters seep through underground fissures to a stream of the Rhine basin. Some- times it is pressed between high hills. Smaller craft appear on its! waters in Bavaria. In Austria it splits into «gany arms and forms a whiripool. In ngarian_plains it sprawls wide, recejving many im- portant branches, remnant of a pre- historic inland sea. It resumes a wild, torrential aspect again when it pierces the Kazan defile and the Iron Gates. It receives nearly as many tributaries as there are days in the year and drains an area almost equivalent to that of Egypt. “Along the steep right bank of the Kazan defile can be traced a road built by Trajan early in the second century. Not until recently has the construction of a modern road made the defile passable upon either bank. “Recognition of the international importance of the Danube was at- tested by placing it under a com mission in 1856, and further pro- vigions regardin, e contained in subsequent trea ncluding that of Versailles, in CAMP MAMMOTH CAVE ASKS Y.
