GENEVA July 27.—The hostilities between
Austria and Italy have reawakened in the Tyrolean
mountaineers their liking for smuggling. The sol
diers on both sides forced to fight almost 10,(KM) feet
above tin* sea level, far from any centers where
delicacies such as chocolate and cigarettes may be
obtained, are the market to which these smugglers
bring their wares. As the men of the Tyrol have
been mobilized on all three sides—the Austrian, the
Italian and the Swiss—most of the smuggling is
done bv the women. They make a small fortune in
the sale of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, soap, matches
and other articles whose export have been pro
scribed by all three countries concerned.
After a climb of 9,000 feet from the base of
supplies it is not difficult for a fair mountain smug
gler to ask the price of a Havana Perfecto for a two
for-five-cent Italian cigar.
