lever nation had everything to
thank God for, it ieDthat Woodrow
Wilson is ii the presidents office.
With wise, cautious, unrufrled pow
er he is steering the United States
through the daily perils, and no sud
den incident, however, appalling, can
cause him to lose his head.
Perhaps the most significant ad-
dress that Mr.. Wilson~ltas set made
was delivered at a luncheon of the
Associated Press in New Yor on April
20. 1t was abundantly clear that the
president has very strong personal
feelings on the whole question of the
war, No one can be man and not
have. He may have very decided con-
victions as to which nation was re-
sponsible for precipitating it.. No un-
biased man can fail to have. But all
this personal feeling he most careful
ly reTresses. He. must speak only
as the representative of a neutral
power. One unwelghed word, one I'M
petuous utterance, might plunge this
nation into the bottomless pit where
Europe lies laundering.
And why this neutrality that bears
the weight of insult, and violated
law, and interrupted commerce, and
NJ last the wanton destruction of wo-
men and children and unarmed men
IF the United statesG Because he be
Iicves that the neutrality of the ma
ion is worth preserving at any cost
for the sake of the future Of the
World. Indeed, so much hinges on our
hands, the whole next century Is SO
IA our making; the new political or
Ter is 10 be so shaped by us, that
The president thinks that nothing
Ihould be permitted 10 stampede us
nto war. We are the only nation In
position to construct new world

he medla,ing nation OF the world"

mud torrents rushed down the mountain,

LONDON. May 15.-War has led to a
noticeable increase in social comrade-

broken down the former prejudice
against what are popularity and con-
temptuously known as hen parties"
Numerous clubs have sprung up, such
as the Lady Workers Club for lonely
women earning moderate salaries. This
club keeps open from 4 to pm. on

VERONA A PIVOTAL POINT
IN N|TAL|AN-AUSTR|ANW WAR
Fortress of First Glass, Treasury
of Art and a Great Manu-
featuring City.
Center of Rich Agricultural Region,
With Several Railway Systems
to Handle Commerce.

Immediately inside the Italian bor-
der. below the Austrian city Of Trent,
lies the wealthy, ancient city of We
roma, an important railway center,
treasury of art museum Of splendid
remains from Roman tiues through all
Italian periods. and altogether one of
the most beautiful and interesting
cities OF northern Italy" according to
the geographic statement issued by the
National Geographic Society today,
which deals with the most recent of
hostile frontiers in Europe. Verona
is a fortress of the first class" the
statement continues. and one OF the
foremost military centers toward the
Austrian frontier. In peace times a
garrison OF more than 5000 men is sta
toned here. and here are located the
administration offices of Italy's Sd
Army Corps.
Verona is less than ten miles dis
tant from the Austrian frontier, from
that part Of the Austrian Tyrol that
projects as a deep wedge into the north
Italian hill country. 1t lies seventy-one
miles west Of Venice by rail and nine
ty-three miles east of Milan, another
great northern railway center. on both
banks OF the rapid Adige river 1t is
1914 feet above sea level. with the main
and older part of the city lying within
an abrupt loop made by the river The
population OF the city, with its suburbs.
is about $4,000.
The main railway lines from Modena
and Mantua to Trent and Bozen and
from Venice to Milan cross in the city.
The Verona-Venice-P -Portogruaro line
parallels the Austrian frontier. and has
many strategic branches of much the
same value to the Italians in their
present struggle as the Posen-Tilsit
line is to the Germans In their de-
Tense Of their eastern frontier.
Circled With Forts.
Verona must be the immediate OBJ
jective of any invasion from the Tren-
tino salient. From Verona west the
trunk line railway leads through rich
Industrial and farming region to the
great northern towns of Milan and
Turin. To the east lies Venice. and to
the south is constellation of thriv
ing manufacturing towns The from
tier before Verona is strongly fortified,
both on the Italian and Austrian sides.
In recent years a wide-fung circle of
forts, far outside of the obsolete city
walls, was begun new scheme for
the city's defense. The building of
these redoubts raised Verona to the po-
sition of fortress OF first rank.
The beginnings of the Veronese
fortifications that still remain stand
ing today date from 1927, when Verona
was surrounded with new walls and
bastions by Sanmicheli. Following the

congress of Vienna, Verona fell to Aus
tria's share, and the Austrians caused
the city to be strongly fortified. The
Austrians further fortified Peschiera,
Mantua and Legnago. forming the
famous 'Quadrilateral.' upon which
powerful series of fortresses the Aus
trian rule in Italy relied for its prin-
cipal support until 1866. Verona is the
key position to northern Italy.
Both prosperous and progressive, the
city has multiplied it's Industrial en-
deavor many times during the last
score of years Today there are large
paper and cotton mills in the city. an
immense nail factory. and piano and
organ factories. There is. also, sig
niflcant manufacture of war munitions
centered here. extensive artillery estab-
lishments and important arsenals.
the other more important manu-
factures are silks. soap, candles and
sugar.

Center Of Commerce.

Verona had a large and growing ag-
ricultural commerce, being one of the
first Italian centers of traffic with
Austria Hungary. Switzerland and Ger
many. It exported wines, fruits, rice
and marble, and twice each year 1t
held a noted horse market.
"A city of wonderful art works, of
weather stained. white marble palaces,
often richly sculptured and sometimes
showing the worn evidences of sump-
tuous paintings, with impressive, well
preserved ruins from the days of be-
fore the Christian era, Verona has
somewhat the appearance Of luxurious
decay, with which confident, pushing.
ess-breathing spirit Of the last few
years has contrasted sharply. The mu-
seums, picture galleries, libraries and
ancient churches of Verona TEEN with
rare treasures Verona was the birth
place of the famous Romans, Catullus.
