Fall of Veil
BY REV. T. B. GREGORY.

TN the fall of Veil the great historian
\ Niebuhr finds Zone Of the leading
events Of history The Etruscan
city of Veil, twelve miles from
Rome, was in population. wealth and
warlike energy on a par with the city
by the Tiber, and between the two
places there was war to the death for
three hundred years.
Early in the great game for the mas
terry Veil brought Rome dangerously
near the brink of destruction. The
Valentines actually camped on the Jan
iculum, crossed the Tiber, and de-
strOyed the harvests about the very
walls of the city. Between the two
cities there were fourteen wars, or, to
be more exact, there was one war Of
fourteen brief armistices.
swung back and forth, victory now be-
ing with one side and now with the
other. The antagonists were both
game and Of deadly determination, and
when exhausted they would rest bit
and then close for another round
Finally Rome made up it's mind to
end the business or be annihIlated in
the attempt, and under the grim old
CamiIius, the original tfBlood and
Iron man, il went out after Veil with
all its might. With their full force the
Romans laid siege to the city, and stood
up TO their work day and night, winter
and summer for ten years. The reso-
luton of the Valentines was quite
equal to that Of their enemies. how
ever, and at last even Roman valor be-
gan TO grow weary. Still the beseigers
held on, and when it began to look the
darkest for them they contrived, by
stratagem, to gain the coveted prize;
Veil was annihilated. The entire
population was put to the sword or sold
| into slavery. And with the city liter
ally emptied Rome solemnly swore that
it should never again be inhabited It
was clean sweep--grim. remorseless-.
| a terrible illustration OF the logic Of
ancient warfare.
The historical Importance Of the fall
OF Veil is quite sufficient to. make Ii
Zone of the leading events" Of the
great human story. Veil was Rome g
| first and most formidable rival for po-
| litical SUPREMACY in the Italian PENN
su19. and in tie whole Mediterranean
/ region. and with Veil out of the way
Rome was well started on her way
toward the supremacy Of the world.
