The bombs dropped from the As
 trian aeroplanes upon Venice in the last raid fortunately did little damage to the greater treasures of the city. One fell on the Chiesa degli scalzi. the church of the barefoot monks, dam aging the ceiling and frescoes of Tie- polo; another dropped in Piazza di San Marco, but did no damage toi San Marco or any other of the build5 ings around the Piazza. The peril tb priceless works of art is so great from these air raids and their military value so insignificant that bomb dropping in Venice seems not war but merely vandalism.-New York Sun.
