MAKING WAR ON BILLBOARD

Of Advertising.

From its very institution, the Amer.
lean Civic association has devoted IT,

the annual convention OF the associa-
ton In Washington one OF the import

with n principal address. entitled
THE Passing OF the Signboard." by
Jesse Lee Bennett OF Baltimore in
which he recounted the steps that had
been taken for the legal control OF
the billboard in all parts OF the United
States.
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard. Mr.. Bennett said: The
feeling against the signboard has be
come nationwide and In the past few
years the agitation OF civic organiza-
lions has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against II so wide
In almost every state and city. there
are now. or have been, vigorous move
ments seeking the abolition or regula-
tion OF these unnecessary and dlsfig-
uring objects.
There has been much agitation.
and from II there has been distilled
one thing-the recognition OF the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal OF the signs.
The signboard has been found to be
inextricably intertwined with two
questions OF even greater Importance
The awakening OF civic sentiment
and the recognition by legislators
and judges OF the validity OF argu-
ments based upon esthetic considera-
tons"
Commenting on what ought TO be
the attitude OF the law and the courts
toward the billboard. he added:
1T would take our psychologist but
a few minutes to show that II is not
q question OF ear. or nose. or eye. but
a question OF the brain and OF the
very consciousness that is life itself
No law should permit any man 70
intrude or force himself or his bust
ness into another mans consciousness
to the extent that outdoor advertis
ing has come to permit, an intrusion
immeasurably increased by the fact
that II is impossible to avoid seeing
signboards."

NEBRASKAN WAS TORPEDOED
Lengthy Report Seems to Eliminate
Floating Mine Theory.

Washington, June ia lengthy
mail report on the torpedoing of the
American steamer Nebraskan by a
German submarine was received by
the state department from Ambassa-
dor Page at London.
The report said 1t had been proved
conclusively that the Nebraskan was
sunk by a torpedo and not by a mine,
as claimed. Accompanying the re-
port were many photographs and a
collection of pieces of metal. The
latter were said to have been explod-
ed well within the ship, thus demon
strating that they were part of a tor
pedo driven into the ships side at
high speed and not fragments OF a

TRIESTE RIVAL OF
NAPLES IN BEAUTY
City Long Desired by Italians
N0stIes In Lovely Bay.
HAS HISTORICAL SETTING.

Almost Every inch of Coast Now Once
Again the object of War Has Been
Marked In interest In Real Life, Ro-
nance and Song For Many Genera
tons.
AS seen from the sea Trieste, the re-
capture OF which was one of the rea-
sons why Italy entered the war. is
wonderfully reminiscent OF Naples.
From the semicircular bay the city
rises In terraces of much harmony,
beauty and picturesque composition.
Conspicuous on the left shore, the
waters Of the bay tapping Its founda-
lions, Is the villa Miramar. which re-
calls one OF the many tragic chapters
In the history OF the Hapsburgs, for II
was built by Macmillan, brother of
the aged emperor of Austria, the man
who became emperor of Mexico, where
he was put to death. His widow. the
Empress Carlotta, her mind shattered,
still survives In an asylum In Belgium.
From m architectural and linguistic
point of view the city of Trieste is en-
tirely Italian, all streets and shop
signs being In that language. Ii is not
until one goes into the outlying dis
tricts that signs In other tongues are
found, and then they are not German,
but Croatian.
Shows Vivid Contrast.
After turning the end OF the conspic-
uous cape of the peninsula of Istria,
Pola, Austria's chief naval station,
comes into view. Here at once is
found a vivid contrast between past
and present, for. while the harbor is
full OF warships, there rises In full
view in the center OF the town a great
Roman am~phitheater. which Italy has
ordered her aviators and gunners 10
spare.
1t is In Pola that your eye begins to
be struck with the violent coloring of
the native costumes of Dalmatia, one
OF the few parts of continental Europe
In which these are faithfully adhered
to. They are brilliant In the extreme,
blues, reds, yellows and green pre-
dominating, while in their entirety
they have a character which Is thor
oughly distinctive.
lara, the luxurious Zadera OF the ar
cient Romans, is the real beginning of
Dalmatia and here again there are re
mains of the architectural glories of
the days when Christianity was still in
its infancy.
There was also a fourishing Byzan-
tine cara and a medieval one, most of
which remains today, save along the
sea front, where modern structures
have taken the place Of the massive
walls that frowned down upon the
crusaders as they passed along In
their ships fashioned In the famous
arsenal of Venice, the same upon which
some Austrian bombs fell a few days
ago. It is this same historic %shipyard
