ed with by the position of planets the
following effects upon the weather are
usually noticeable in most localities:
Windy weather and showers on the day
before the moon passes the star; windy
weather, warm effect and sometimes
showers on the day the moon passes
the showers. rain or snow on these two
days are caused by the atmosphere be-
ing forced by the repelling forces of
the star to distend the higher and cold
er attitudes, where it contracts and
falls in rain or snow. and on the next
the star cooler change Of weather
begins in most localities, and Is usually
accompanied by windy weather and
more rain and snow"
Here Is an expert against experts!
If these experts of the Department
adm istratipn to continue their attacks
on the moon they will possibly write
bulletin that the moon has no effect
on sentiment, that it has nothing TO
do with the stimulation Of that fine
and gentle emotion which makes the
heart beat fast, which robs the tongue
Of speech and takes away the appetite
They will say that moonlight not
only has no effect on husbandry, but
that 1t has no influence on the perpe. .
tration of poetry and the promotion or
matrimony. Such a theory would pe
overwhelmingly controverted by racts
that are within the personal knoWledge
of nearly everybody in the United
States. No expert should be allowed
to run down the moon, or pull down
the moon, as a matrimonial agency.
1t may be that soon government ex-
perts will be telling an indignant peo-
pie that it is not lucky to see the
new moon over the left shoulder and
that the moon has nothing TO do with

THE PERIL OF VENICE.
A City Full of the Art of the Cen.
turies-Not a Large Town.

From the st. Louis GsObe-DemOcrat.
The explosion of bombs dropped
from the air into Venice will send a
shudder around the world. This is
not because Venice is such goodly
city in population. There are twenty
nine cities in the United States larger
than it. 1t does not compare In size
with Rome, Milan, Naples. Florence or
Turin. 1t Is not because of its COM
mercial or military importance. The
city has scant claim to fame in either
respect. But Venice is the mecca of
tourists because of it's beauty and its
history. 1t was the link connecting
Rome and Athens. 1t felt the influence
of Arabia and of Persia. 1t saved some
of the Greek masterpieces from obl1V-
ion. Its architecture shows the effect
of all the ancient civilizations. Seated
on it's III islands, with canals 1or
streets. it has been renowned as:
The pleasant place of all festivity,
The revel of the earth. the mas4ue OF ltaly.
Longfellow called it the white swan
of cities" and other poets have cele-
brated it's glories above those OF any
other city of the world. Its political
history is of enhancing interest 1t is
numerous churches, the bridges, the
tombs. the palace of the Doges. the
old library. the Campanile and the
academy Of fine arts are among the
most attractive show places of Europe
The masterpieces of those master ar
lists of the sixteenth century. Titan,
Tintoretto Giorgione. Bellini. Paolo
Veronese, Sansovino. Palladio and Da-
Ponte, have given the city undying
glory. In Venice the renaissance is seen
at its best and at its worst. Realism and
idealism have We'd for mastery. Perhaps
in no other city of the world is there
preserved such a rich collection OF the
STYLES of painting and architecture of the
different centuries. The loss Of these
would be irreparable. While it is likely
that the paintings have been removed to
places of security, there are bits Of beau
tiful and quaint architecture that cannot
be removed or protected. The whole
world will hope that whatever the ravages
of the great war. Venice may be spared.
While it is an Italian city, it belongs to
the world. Italy Is merely the custodian
of it's priceless treasures.

the fighting that the dead We're suli
lying unburied on the field. Mr. Wood
corrects the popular impression that
the German retirement from this great
engagement was due to the defeat OF
Gen. Won Kluck on the right The
main German assault was against the
French centef, at a point about sew
enty-five miles east of Paris. Thirty
six hours of fighting had borne the
French back almost to the Seine when
in the afternoon of September Gen.
Foch ordered an attack by all the
French forces and in a few hours the
Germans had been swept back 10 tne
original lines and during the 10Th were
Marine. Won Klucks retreat was oom- :
pelled by this material change in the
situation in the center.
Mr., Wood later in the autumn was
sent as a bearer of dispatches from
Paris to Berlin and from there went to
, London and also to Vienna and Buda-
pest. in the course of these journeys hav-
ing numerous interesting experiences
and meeting many persons of distfnc-
ton, the views of some of them being
reflected in the pages of his diary. Few

mate personal quality of this volume,
which is remarkably instructive re-
garding both the attitude Of the peo-

military conditions. Mr.. Wood mas

tions to the War Department, an out
line of which he includes in an appen-
dix He urges upon the American peo-
pie the early assumption of the task
of preparing for national defense.

AMERICA TO JAPAN. Edited by Lind

nams Sons.
America to Japan" is a companion
volume to the earlier publication, ia
pan to America" The book consists of
a series of essays by representative
citizens of the United States. These
ESSAYS, as a whole, define the common
interests of the two countries, and
draw from these interests the mutual
obligations and reciprocal relationships
of the two. The international aspects
of economics, industry, commerce, pol
itics diplomacy, society and culture are
gathered up in ,this review. Scholars,
statesmen, diplomats, authors. travel
ers, clegymen and business men con-
tribute to this exposition of fact and
statement of problem. The names of

Henry Clews, Elbert H. Gary and Ma

tiality and scope of these views. The
book is, like its companion, Japan to

sign is to base larger understanding
between the two nations upon broad
and exact knowledge. Lindsay Russell,

pose of demonstrating its adequacy
as an instrument of representative gov
ernment Accompanying an authorita-
tive analysis of the Constitution along
these lines there is the authors re-
view of certain recent agitations and
enactmentS, whose common and open
purpose is to loosen constituted au-
thority through the inroads of popu-
lar demand. In this connection Sena
tor Lodge discusses the projected pub.
lie opinion bill' of his native state.
Again, he takes into consideration ..e
logical effect of the experiment of COM
pulsory initiative and referendum. One
essay sets forth the democracy of Abra-
ham Lincoln as a pattern of the demo
cratic ideal. Two biographical sketches
deal, respectively. with the political
theories and policies and influence of
John c. Calhoun and Thomas Brackett
Reed Studies of this order and of
equal source are profoundly worth
while to the student of American insti-
tutions There should be more of them.
Both politics and business. bent to the
exactions of their own affairs. have
neglected the education of the public
The agitator assumed this office. with
the reformer following close upon his
heels. This pair. with no equipment
save the arts of excitement and per-
suasion. have worked harm to politics
men of authority from both fields de-
vote some of their powers to inform
ing the public on the general features
of their immediate concerns.
