LEAST KNOWN NATION.
Story of Liechtenstein Would be Interesting.
"If some McCutcheon would but
forsake mythical Graustarks and
write the bald facts about Liechtenstein,
what a fascinating, swash buckling
bizaare romance he could compose!"
says a bulletin from the
National Geographic Society concerning
the tiny principality that delivered
an "ultimatum" to the peace
conference the other day,, demanding
- r ~ * J r.
a place in the league 01 nations.
"Liechtenstein is about the size of
the District of Columbia. The last
of its princes, who ruled it until
about a year ago, owned estates outright
taht almost ^qualed the area of
Delaware. He sat in the upper house
of Austria and ruled his minature
domain principally by long distance
telephone. When the citizens asked
for a constitutional government he
created a parliament of 15 members,
appointed a governor with a cabinet
and granted suffrage to all males.
"Long the princes have paid for
the upkeep of Leichtenstein largely
from the enormous incomes of their
private property. The inhabitants
petitioned for an entertainment fund
and Johann II, who abdicated last
year, granted a subsidy, perhaps with
a smile. It was used thereafter to
decorate Vaduz, the Paris of Leichtenstein,
and to set the fountains
playing and the fireworks going when
he visited there.
"In the Austro-Prussian war Leichtenstein
cast her lot with her ally,
Austria. Her entire population bravely
said good-bye to her soldier boys,
ai^d the entire standing army of four
score men marched off to battle. But
they arrived after the war was over.
"When it came to making peace
terms Bismark nodded, for once, and
^ little Leichtenstein was completely
forgotten. It was just as well* or she
might not have retained her freedom.
But, apparently she is determined
not to be ignored again.
"Her army marched home again,
stacked their muskets and hung their
leather helmets, the bugler's trumpet
and the captain's sword in the ancient
castle of Vaduz, where they remain
today. The citizenry informed
the prince they wanted no more of
e*- i
war. He abolished military service,
and since then there has been no
standing army, though, technically,
Liechtenstein has been at war with
? Prussia sirifce 1866.
"Moreover Liechtenstein paid virtually
no taxes nor did she have a
public debt so long as her princes
ruled. A small levy was made for
. keeping up the dikes lest the Rhine
v . overflow her fields in springtime.
Customs and the ready generosity of
her monarchs kept her treasury filled.
"This quaint, but electric lighted
?' ::
. and hot-water-heated nation, with its
. roadside shrines and modern typewriters,
lies in the eastern Alps,
south of lake Constance, scene of
Count Zeppelin's early aerial ventures,
with the Rhine for its western
* border. It is elongated, as if by the
pressure of its neighbor nations, Austria
and Switzerland, suggesting
Mark Twain's complaint about another
land where, he said, 'people had
to sleep with their knees pulled up
because they couldn't stretch out
without a passport.'
"Two fiefs of the Roman empire,
Schellenberg and Vaduz, make up the
- ; latter day Liechtenstein. Both came
into possession of the Liechtenstein
family while their previous overlords
were financially embarrassed. Many
travelers passed through the little
\ state within a sight of the Vaduz
state within sight of the Vaduz
pedestal, for the route from Paris to
Vienna lies that way. That is why
Liechtenstein's threat to stop communication
might be annoying. But
none of the travelers ever stopped.
When Robert Shackleton visited there
not many years a^o he was welcomed
as the first American to set foot in
the country.
"Yet Liechtenstein, small as it is, is
larger than the oft visited Monaco or

peasants are simple,/ sturdy, shrewd
folk, intensely protfd of the 'bright
stone of the Alps' which, they love to
recall, has not been captured for a
thousand years. There are good
schools, even to kindergartens, and
the abundant water power makes
electricity available to the humblest
residents of Vaduz or the smaller
towns. *
"Cattle raising and agriculture are
two industries. The stalwart men are
not to be misjudged by the fact that
nearly all of them embroider and
wear earrings. The origin of the earrings
is not clear, but the embroidery
is a common occupation in the adjoining
Swiss cantons. Many American
folk to whom Liechtenstein is no
more than a name have bought linen
handkerchiefs in department store?
which were embroidered by these
mountaineers after their outdoor
work of tilling and herding cattle.
