Dapper Modern Soldiers
enSWith Monumentsof
Past Military Greatness.
(By Associated press.)


ROME, Dec. 31.-There are strange
and suggestive contrasts here in the
Eternal City during these war days
with the soldiers of today marching
and camping among the monuments
and ruins of the soldiers of the past
Today a regiment OF Italian infantry
came from the zAppian Way, passed
the Palatine Hill with the gaunt. and
cayernous ruins Of the palaces Of tie
Caesars, then swung in long circle
around the Arch of Constantine, pass.

Of many detachments moving from
the suburbs Of the barracks near the
Janiculum. They were sturdy young
peasant soldiers, with dark faces and
eyes. Their uniforms were bluiJh
gray, loose and ill:fitting, with square
cap and low-falling wiser. They car.
rted their guns irregularly at shoulder
arms.
Around these old monuments OF
Rome soldiers may be seen marching
all hours of the day, and the sculp.
lures and inscriptions seem to show
how the remote past Is bound up with
the events OF today. Along the Coli.
scum. for instance, soldiers have been
marching for the last two thousand
years. The Arch of Constantine com
memorates Constantine's great victor,
over Maxentius, and tho founding Of
Constantinople, to which Constantine
gave his name-Conssantinople which
was a center Of warfare nearly two
thousand years ago as It Is today
Nearby the Arch of Titus marks the
capture of Jerusalem. One of the re
liefs of the Titus arch shows a tire
mendous battle with the sDacians
The soldiers who keep passing today
seldom glance at these battles Of the
past; and, singularly, the tourists sci
dom glance at the soldiers Of today
but are absorbed in the monuments
ofIpast military achievements.
