Campaena.

No book on Italy is complete with
out some reference to the Campagna
di Roma, a district upon which a curse
seems to have fallen 1t is a grassy
plain, something like an American
prairie, about forty by seventy miles
in area, Rome being near its center.
This district was once the prov
ince OF Latium, and was then the rich
est and most populous country in the
world, but it is now nearly destitute
OF inhabitants. For a part of the
year shepherds and herdsmen make
1t their home, but even they do not
linger longer than absolutely neces-
sary. In fact, the Campagna is the
home of malaria, so deadly that stran-
gers dare not to pass single night ex-
posed to its influence.
The trouble with the Campagnai
arises from its being underlaid by a:
bed of stone impervious to water. The
spring rains fill the soil, vast guam
tity OF vegetable matter is accumu-
lated, and the summer sun evaporates
this foul water. filing the air with
malaria OF the most deadly sort.
The ancient Romans knew the dan
ger, and averted it with extensive
drains; but the moderns suffered the
drains to become chokcd, and the
finest portion of Italy became a will
derness. The soil is very rich, and
it is pleasant tc hear that an effort is
being made to reclaim the Champagne

THE good people of Nevada have

ers OF the ship and then from the mast

will the flags fly in glory. Let us
hope that the flags will never have
to fly over a scene OF carnage; let us
hope that our flags and our namesake
ship be both of peace. But, If the
clarion notes of war shall ever echo
over the land the sea and the order
be forward to do 70 die" may the
Nevada flag fly in triumph upon the
masthead of the good ship.
AS the state of Nevada came into
the union in its darkest hour: when
the admission of the state meant more
to he union than a million men: when
the coming of the silver state into the
galaxy meant the coming of peace
and the upbuilding of a greater ma
ton. so may her namesake ship and
the flag she presents to the loved le-
Viathan stand for that great principle
oil right and justice which was the
soul and spirit of the great Lincoln.
" the time comes-which let us pray
will never be, when the great ship
in the battle line shall rock and reel
from the %concussion of her great guns:
when her brave crew, striped to the
waist, powder stained and burned,
shall man each gun and send with un-
erring aim the deadly missile to avenge
a wrong or protect a right; when the
strife shall grow stronger and strong.
er and some ill.omened harbinger OF
death shall strike the vItals of the
monster OF the sea. and she shall rock
ard then bow her stately head to her
mortal wound, culver and shake and
then sink to her endless rest beneath
the wave, then: may the flag that the
people OF Nevada gave to her In pride !
sink with her In the same pridesome |
bearing; when the e%ngulhng waves |
stall sweep over her deck and slowly |
her masts sink from view, may the
last sight OF the vessel be the flag
which bears az It motto "All For Our

IN CASE OF WAR.

THE chances that the United States
will become involved in the war may
not be large. But until hat conflict
is ended, no American can feel safe.
If Germany should declare war
against the United States, the fight
ing could reach our shores only in
cos the Teutonic allies should large
ly overpower their a~dversaries. This
may be unlikely, but every possible
contingency should be faced.
The United States has plenty of
available material with which to make
var The problem of organizing that
material would tax the biggest intel.
lect in the nation. The government
at Washington in time of peace un-
der all administrations is conducted
by the class Of men called politicians.
rather than by business men. In case
OF a sudden outbreak of war, the poll
ticians high and low of every party
should feel their limitations.
They ought to expect to call to their
aid a sufficient force of the most cap.
able business executives. or course
army and navy methods have been
vastly improved since the confusion
OF the Spanish war. But the country
is so far u%nprepared that the prob
lem of developing military resources
would be beyond the powers of any
group OF men hat ever gathers at
Washington.
In case OF war there would be plenty
OF enlistments. While the average
citizen shivers at the thought of en-
listing. there Is plenty of young blood
hot for battle. Every hint and threat
of war always stimulates enlistments.
The country has no aviation force
worth speaking of. But it has a host
OF amusement flyers who could be
modified. It's equipment for feeding
ali army would be only a fragment.
But the streets are swarming with no.
tor trucks that could be levied. Arms
and ammunition are woefully made
quate. But the country is full of ma
chine shops. To systematic resourc;
es for a sudden call is a problem far
greater than anything that falls to
any single groupe Of our executives
in time of peace. 1t is a time for
the most detailed plans to be formu-
lated.
