ISLAND OF RUGEN SUKMER PARADISE Bridge to Link Popular Vacation Spot With Mainland | Aug. 19—"The | Washington, D. C. i Baltie Island of Rugen, soon to be conpected with the German main- land by one of the longest bridges in the world, is a favorite playground of vacationists from northern Europe | as well as an important link in the shortest rail route from Berlin to Stockholm,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic socicty. “Land of dark beech fores! which bold white cliffs jut into the sea, of broad meadows, guaint vil- lages and sandy beaches, Rugen | forms a summer paradise, where pagan legend and medieval history give depth and meaning to a varied landseape.

It is entirely surrounded by water, and during the Thirty Yea war its inhabitants successfully re- sisted a ten weeks' sicge by the re- lentless Wallenstein, who had sworn to take it, ‘though it were chained to heaven." “With anclent fortifications d mollshed or converted into par ways, Stralsund is still a joy to lov- ers of quaint architecture.

Rising toward the east into high country, Rugen thrusts a bold and indented coast to the sea. Great white cliffts fall sheer to the wat- er's edge. On one summit, offering a magnificent panorama of ocean and sky, Charles XII of Sweden is said te have had his chair placed so that he could watch a naval battle he- tween his followers and the Danes. For long stretches of its history Rugen was under Swedish rule, » many Swedish customs survive among habits of its quaint coun- | try folk.

Sassnitz s the gest town, and it is from here that the train steamers depart for Trelleborg on the opposite Swedish coast. Terraced hotels, handsome vil- las, and gay out-of-door restaurants with band stands give Sassnitz the alr of a true summer metropolis. The Central Parm Lands “The rail route from Sassnitz les through the farming country of the Island of Bergen, the capital, and thence to Altefahr where the ferry carries trains bodlly to Stralsund. This island country is typical of the farm lands of northern Prussia and southern Sweden. There are broad, flat fields of wheat, and sugar , dark fo and wide mead- ows with slow-moving horses and ows dotted about.

Army aviators at Wheeler Field, while declining to speak for publi- cation, seemed inclined to the view that Frost might have piloted his plane past the islands during the night, finding himself somewhere westward, with his gasoline supply exhausted. This theory was strength- ened by the fact Frost was believed to have the fastest plane in the race. DIES IN TRAIN ew York, Aug. 19 (P—William B.
