AUSTRIAN AIRMEN
KILL 80 PERSONS
IN VERONA RAID
Wound 49 Others with
Bombs in Principal Square
of Venetian City.

Rome. Nov. 14.-Thirty persons are
dead in Verona as a result OF three
Austrian aeroplanes dropping bombs on
the city. Thirty other persons were
seriously wounded and nineteen slight
ly injured.
The bombs Of the aircraft found
most of their victims in the principal
square of the city, where citizens and
peasants from the outlying districts
were attending the market. Nineteen
persons were killed by one bomb.
The aeroplanes visited various parts
Of the city, but none OF the missiles
dropped by them fell near any OF the
military buildings.
This is the second time Austro-Hun-
garian aeroplanes have made raid on
the fortified city of Verona. Last July
an Austrian aviator dropped about
dozen bombs on the city and escaped,
notwithstanding a fire directed at him
by the forts of the city.
Verona is the nearest important
Venetian town 10 the Austrian border,
being only twenty-five miles from the
frontier in the Valley of the Adige,
and. on account of the valuable art
treasures and medieval palaces it con-
tains, it has been the goal OF Austrian
aviators ever since Italy entered the
war. Venice, richer still in treasures,
is about twice as far from the Austrian
aeroplane base as Verona.
Next to Venice, Verona is the most
important town of Venetia. 1t was
strongly fortified by the Austrians early
in the nineteenth century, when IL be-
longed 70 the central empire, and no"
the Austrians' own defences are being
used against them. In times Of peace
the Verona garrison consists OF o,ooo
men, force which has been augmented
since the war began.

London. Nov. While by the sheer
weight of German artillery the Serbs
have been forced from their strong
positions south of the Western Morava
River. an official communication from
the Serbian Army Headquarters, issued
on November II and just received here,
indicates that the retreat has not been
as hasty as asserted by Berlin.
Instead. the report shows that the re-
tirement, like that of the Russians
from Galcia last spring. has been
largely at will, and only after the Serbs
had inflicted the greatest possible dam
age on the pursuer. In all cases 1t has
been in good order, and without losses
of munitions and equipment, and all
German and Bulgar reports to the con-
trary are branded as false.
Thus. according TO the Serb official
report. fighting still continues at ivag-

I have always wanted you, Eve, since before you went away, but it didn't seem right to ask you to come into life so encountered as mine was.

Wooed With Music.

Among the Yao Midos, one of the many Burmese-Tartar people, the young men woo their wives absolutely with out words, but to the sound of mu- sic. On the first day of winter they have great feast, at which all the marriageable girls gather and listen to the music made by the bachelors, who sit under the '-desire tree,'' each play ing his fnvorite instrument. As sthe maiden he loves passes him the youth plays louder and more fee1fngly. If the girl ignores him and passes on he knows that she will have none of him If she steps up to him and lays a flow CT upon the instrument he jumps up grasps her by the hand and. they go away together.

A man was once condemned in Af- ghanistan to have his ears sliced off as a minor punishment. He had a power full friend, however, who was much att tnched to him. This friend begged the late ameer in duly submissive tones to allow him to perform the operation, q favor which was granted. However, the amateur begged the ameer to show him what portion of each ear he wish ed to be removed. The ameer accord ingly touched then lightly, whereupon the ingenious and courageous person proceeded to quote passage in the Koran. which said that anything touch ed by the representative of the AL mighty became sacred. The despot smiled grimly and forgave them both.

The Annian Way.

The famous Appian way was con structed by digging two parallel trenches, three feet in depth, at the bottom of which were placed two lay CTS of fat stones in mortar, upon which layer of cobb1estones was placed, also laid in mortar. Then came a course of pebbles in concrete, over which were placed large, flat blocks of smooth lava well joined together, forming an even uniform surface. It was primarily a military road and extended from Rome to Brundusiun, distance of $50 miles So perfect was the construction of this celebrated road that it still exists in places as good as ever, notwithstand- ing it was made more than twenty cen. turies ago.

Then with E.s hand he carefully comb ed his long hair, using both hands at the same time. There were many
 places, however, that could not be reached in this way. for his arms are very short and his body very large, so he comhed these otherwise inaccessible places with his hind feet, using first one and then the other. The entire operation was performed with the ut most deliberation and care and occu- pied more than a quarter of an hour. ;
