Imperial Rome restored-on paper

upon the results of Signor Bonis ex-

stored Stadium Of the Palatine PIC
lures that great track as deserted. It
is conceivable that such place was,
even in the palmiest days OF Rome,
solitary, peaceful and devoid OF life.
IN the reconstructed Forum and on
Palatine Hill evidence Of living Rome
IS marked. Artihcially, perhaps, but
still in keeping with the accepted
, idea OF Roman life. In the picture

Gen. Wood is only AZ years old. In
February 1901, he was jumped from a

to a brigadier generalship. In August.
1903 he was made a major general.
Many faithful army officers do not un'
