the most dangerous have been Italians
who have sold themselves. Venice Is
the naval headquarters of Italy in some
respects, and a thousand details of
activity are in constant progress, a
knowledge Of which would be OF value
to the Austrians 1t is a favorite place
for conferences. The day we were there
Gabrielle d'Annunzio was the guest of
high officers at the table next to US in
the dining room. Lieut.. Marconi had
passed through on his way to London
for consultation with English naval
officials the day before.
In spite of all, Venice preserves mar
velously an air of calm, almost of gay
ety. No wounded men are seen upon
her streets as yet. The war is not yet
old enough to sadden her people. The
post cards one buys are for the most
part humorous caricatures of Francis
Joseph On the drawn shutters of a
closed shop in the arcades OF the
Square of st. Mark Venetian artists
have pasted their conceptions of their
foes. Invariably these cartoons are in
spired by a love of laughter. None of
them displays any bitterness. That
will come in time.
The one thing that Venice fears is a
bomba rdment. Not that Venetians fear
for their lives more than other folk.
But a minute rain of shells would
utterly destroy this wonderful old
town. with it's fragile, ivorylike pal
aces built upon a foundation of wooden
piles. All Italy shares Venice's fears.
