latest Developments in tactics and all
phases of military science with the same
that characterized their

The greatest need IN this hour OF war
trouble was the bill just passed by Con
gress Which gives the President author
ity to raise federal volunteer forces in
time of actual or threatened war. This
important measure was proposed by the
general stalf in 1912. II was on the
calendar for several months. but until
the seizure of Vera Cruz there was little
cnancc of its passage this session. How
ever. immedia ,ely following the first

Revival of Ancient Industry.

About ten years ago 4 young Venetian
OF artistic taste conceived the idea OF re-
producing the handsome old leather de-
signs, and. in fact, of reviving an indus
try which had been virtually dead for
several centuries. He collected speci-
mems of the old work from the palaces
and elsewhere and conducted u series of
experiments lasting about three years
Then he opened his works. In seven
Years he has developed a great business.
SO successful has he been in securing a
mode OF colorng and treating the leather
as to present the effect of age. Thus an
important industry has come to life once
more and Venice is much richer for the
revival
Here in this establishment as else
where. the actual work is done in other
quarters. only u few .'sampl. work

show the system. IN this instance the
factory is at Padua, where land is
cheaper and operation cost is less. To
obtain a factory equipment anywhere in
completely occupied Venice means to ac-
duire several palaces" and remodel
them, at great expense.

WASHINGTON, August 14.-It is
believed the government will not en-
courage the Morgan loan to France,
and the bankers will not be answered
at all. For two reasons the president
viii adopt this attitude. One is that
sanction of the loan might be con-
strued as approval by the United
tates of the war upon Germany and
Austria. The other that it would
throw in part of the resources of the
United States, which desires to re.
main strictly neutral and discourage
war every way into the European
