Customs, Fred S. Auerbach Says. Due to the highly commercial attitude of European governments and business houses, the glamor of travel abroad ha rapidly diminished since the world war, Fred 8. Auerbach, secretary of the Auerbach company, said Wednesday on his return from his thirteenth visit abroad. Traditions of foreign lands have faded in the face of hardships wrought by International struggles and unfavorable financial conditions until Europe Is but a shadow of its former self, Mr. Auerbach said. Cities once gay with cultured, pleasure-lovin- g throngs are now but showy tourist centers, charging exorbitant prices to those who come seeking change and foreign atmosphere. It was said. Germany appears to be the most prosperous and progressive of the European nations stricken by the war. Mr. Auerbach said. German towns and business seem well managed and a spirit of optimism prevails among the citizenry. France ranks next In apparent progress and England follows, Mr. Auerbach said. n and stripped of Austria, e Its affluence and gaiety, the saddest presents plight of any of the larger nations. Mr. Auerbach declared. Vienna, once the show spot of Europe, was characterised by Mr. Auerbach as a "ghost city" whose pretentious cafes and amusement places are all but idle because of the poverty of the nation. The Austrian government exacts a tax ranging from 16 to 30 per cent on each hotel bill paid by a traveler and taxes on restaurants and other businesses are correspondingly high. Mr. Auerbach sailed for Europe October 9 on the Berengarla and returned to New York two weeks ago on the Bremen.
