According to tradition the tvunuer
Of the safe was IA Da.mat!an s'oms-
cutter named Marinus. who after
working for years at Eimini embraced
Christianity and withdrew TO Monte
Titano to escape prosecutions under
Diocletian. His fame a. an austere
anchoriie reached the ears OF the
noble lady to whom II belonged and
she presented the mount 10 him and
in addition a tract Of land, thinking
that Marinus, as was usual in those
days. would found a monastery.
He did this and more, for he found
ed a republic. Dying he gave Titano
% his disciples, recommending them
never to abandon it and 10 organize
a civil society and i've always In per-
feet communion and peace based upon
principles of virtue" Marinus was
canonized after his death. His body
now rests in the principal church in
the republic and his fete. which is the
most important in the land, is cele-
brated on September 3.

To go i.to the war. This tiny
republic did not have to make a

with san Marine and Austria the re-
lations were som what similar TO
those between Montenegro and Tur-
key: there never was peace. and II
Was only necessary for San Marine
20 say that a state OF war already *
listed. San Marine thus threw into
the balance some thirty-eight square
miles of Apennine rocks and valleys,
$50 soldiers and as many officers as
she has square miles, and defied the
Austrians to do their worst.
Altitude AND position had much to
do with getting San Marine into the
war. The highest point OF the repub-
lie is Monte Titano. which rises a
sheer cliff to more than $500 feet
above the valley and. being a m

Apennines is easily discernible from

Marines military glory several hum
dred years ago the cliffs and the
strong wall a climbed along their
edge In Titano's summit were a de-
fence against crossbows, javelins and
catapults. In these days of modern
warfare this strength proves more or
less a weakness,
In the first place if San Marine re-
manned neutral the Austrian airmen
might venture across the sea. drop
down upon these heights for rest and
repairs INC then dart off to attack
