times, a garrison of more than 5000
men is stationed here, and here are
located the administration Offices Of
ItaIy's 3'rd Army Corps.
Verona is less than 10 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 II
miles west of Venice by rail and SO
miles east of Milan, another great
northern railway center, on both
manks of the rapid Adige river. 1t is
1874 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 sub
urbs. is about $4,000. The main rail-
way lines from Modena and Mantau to
Trent and Bozen, and from Venice to
Milan cross in the city. The Verona,
Venice, Portogruarc lines parallels
the Austrian frontier and has many
strategic branches of much the same
value to the Italians in their present
struggle as the Posen-T ilsit line is to
the Germans in their defense of their
eastern frontier.
Verona must be the immediate OBJ
| iective of any invasion from the Tren-
tino salient. From Verona west, the
trunkline railway leads through a
rich industrial and farming region to
the great northern towns of Milan and
Turin. To the east lies Venice, and to
| the south are a constellation OF thirty
ing manufacturing towns. The from
tier before Verona is strongly fOrti-
fed, both on the Italian and Austrian
sides. In recent years, wide-fiung
circle of forts, far outside of the obso
lete city walls, were begun as a new
scheme for the city's defense. The
building of these redoubts raised Yer
ona to the position of fortress of first
rank.
"The beginning of the Veronese for
tifications that still remain standing
today date from 1927, when Verona
was surrounded with new walls and
bastions by Sanmicheli. Following
the Congress of Vienna, Verona fell to
Austria's share, and the Austrians
caused the city to be strongly forti-
fed. The Austrians further fortified

upon which powerful series of for
tresses the Austrian rule in Italy re-
lied for its principal support until
1866. Verona is the key position to
northern Italy.
Both prosperous and progressive,
the city has multiplied its industrial!
endeavor many times during the last
score years. Today there are large
paper and cotton mills in the city, an
immense nail factory, and piano and
organ factories. There is, also, a
significant manufacture of war munit-
ions centered here, extensive artillery
establishments, and important ARISEN
ais. Among the other more important
manufactures are silks, soap, candles
and sugar. Verona had a large and
growing agricultural commerce, be-
ing one of the first Italian centers of
traffic with Austria-Hungary, Switzer-
land, and Germany. 1t exported wines,
fruits, rice and marble, and, twice
each year it held noted horse mar :

BIC REWARD FOR

CALCUTTA, India, May PA re-
ward of $4,000 has been offered for
information leading to the recovery Of
jewels worth $25O,OO0 stolen from the
Maharani Queen of the feudal state
of Cooch Behar.
The Maharanfs marriage in 1915,
was a worldwide sensation for day.
The wedding was originally fixed to
take place in India in May, but
through racial objections by the
brides parents it was cancelled al
most at the last moment and the
bride taken to England. The would
be groom followed her there, over
come the parental objections, and in

Preceding the marriage the bride
was received into the Brambho
Samaji, the groom's religion, at the
Buckingham Palace hotel. During this
service incense was burned and music
was produced on conch shells by In
dian musicians. A marriage accord
ing to the native rites was later per-
formed at the hotel, the bride chang
ing her European dress for the pinl;

Prince wearing native white costume
and turban. The wedding cake was
