OXFORD SAVANT STUDIES
ETRUSCAN POTTERY HERE
Professor Beazley Comes to University
Museum to Collect Material for Book
On Art of Ancients.

In :he University of Pennsylvania Museum
Prof. j. D. Beezley, of Christ Church College,
Oxford, has been studying for more than a
week the and graceful traceries of ancient
Etruscan vases The University collection is
Of the most complete in the world, and
naturally attracted Professor Beazley, who is
inspecting virtually all collections of any note.
He is preparing the first book to be devoted
exclusively to the artistic side of Etruscar
pottery.
When Rome was insecure little hill town
200 years ago, its neighbors north of the Tiber
were making the great and little vases which
were to form the most beautiful antique treas
ures possessed in America A hundred years
later wild bands from the mountains ravaged
Etruria, and the Roman soldiers of the next
generation found the inhabitants easy prey,
physically and raciay, to their martial DOM
nance. Pottery making, with the extinction of
Etruscan individuality. ceased. but in their
brief time the Etruscans had made vases such
as the world has never made since
Practically all Etruscan pottery is lively with
human figures. These represent, with painstal-
ing accuracy, the daily life of the people, or
the events OF their history, and it IS because
archaeologtsts have been more Interested in
reading the history of the mysterious pre-
Roman period from these cryptic records that
the purely artistic side of the study has been
more or less neglected, In spite Of the difficult
ties before him, Doctor Beazley is making sat
isfactory progress with his work and has al
ready catalogued most OF the extant specimens
In the world into their rightful schools A
great many Of the vases bear the names Of
their makers. and those which are not signed
can usually be assigned to a particular period
and culture.

Destruction Of bridges Makes Task

LoNpoN, Sept 1.-THE Times expert
points out an important factor affect
ing the present position. He says:
THE allies in rctrcatng toward Paris
broke most If not All of tho bridges over
rivers. If any remain the Germans Will
break them as they go back Fighting
troops when bridges are destroyed are
not greatly delayed, for they have pom
toons. but for service on tho lines Of
communication the problem is much
more difficult. as much stronger bridges
are necessary to carry the heavy motor
lorres which maintain the line OF sup
plies.
The line Of operations in France
travcrses large rivers and several
smaller one. II is not surprising to hear
that the Germans are short of food and
ammunition for motor traffic upon
which they rely must he held up "A
long way to the rear of their armies and
only transports by the use of horses can
follow the troops over pontoons. and IL
is not unlikely that this difficulty has
affected very seriously the operations
of the German armies.
"a similar difficulty will now con-
front the allies and there is a posi-
bility in consequence that the pursuers
may have to halt for the want OF sup
plies. The French must mobilize IL
they can the materials .ecessary for
constructing rapidly more solid bridges,
Unless this he done the mobility of the
allies will be impaired
Tho writer also remarks that there is
a possibility now that the Belgians have
retired on Antwerp that one German
corps may move southwark to stay pur-
