June IA department of fine arts
is one Of the features of the Italian
army 1t is attached to the general
STAFF, and it has proved TO he such a
highly important feature in modern
warfare that admiration of il was eX-
pressed by General Joffre and the late
Lord Kitchener during their visits to
Italy.
This art department was organized
by General Cadorna commandments
chief of the Italian armies, primarily
for the purpose Of protecting and pre-
.cervnE the art treasures in the fight
ing areas, not only in Italian territory,
but in places taken from the Aus
trians. llgo Ojetti, an art critic of in
tcrnatoionl reputation, who has long
been officially Identified with Italian
art and architecture. was appointed
the head of the department Just a
year ago, since which time many mil
lion dollars worth OF art treasures
have been taken in charge.
The art department is kept fully in
formed regarding any new advances
on the pnrt of the Italian army. and
liz frequently acts under artillery fire
once the Austrian troops have been
definitely dislodgcd, the art depart
ment conducts u thorough search for
art objects and takes complete charge
of those that the Austrians have left
behind The search often leads into

hidden for safe-keeping In the early
days of the war. But in many in

everything away With them. For in
stance, they removed l,bOo objects
from the archaeological museum at
Aquileja on the night of April 2S,

Lieutenant Ojetu told of his work
and said that the war, instead of kill
ing the artistic spirit. would make
the art treasures of the old world
more loved than ever. Right in the
midst Of this great war, he said, the
Italian government Is doing its at
most to protect all objects of art, and
the rudest soldiers in the trenches
show decided interest i'll art objects.
For instance, at Aquileja, which we
finally took from the Apstians, we
dug up an old Roman mosaic and not

times but thousands and thousands of

carry health insurance were adj

cnsce on social insurance. with
compulsory law Mr.. Potts
said, ''the benefits of health in
surance could be made universal
at much less than half the pres

double returns in benefits. 1t
would be wholly improper, how
ever, to enact such law. unless
the State provided system by
which the insurance could be OBJ

DISASTROUS FIRE
Two Buildings on the East Side
of the Square Burned Early
Wednesday Morning
Loss About
$4,000.

The second disastrous fire Of
the year visited Butler Wednes-.
day morning about two o'clock
when the two buildings on the
East side of the square owned by
the Powers estate were entirely
destroyed, together with most of
their contents.
The fire was first discovered in
the rear Of the Star Theatcr and
quickly spread to the building on
the South. The fire department
responded promptly but the
flames had gained such headway
that little could be done except to
save the remainder of the build
ings in the block, south Of where
the fire started, and at one time it
looked as though they were not
going to be able to do that, with
the wind that was blowing from
the North.
The Star Thcatcr where the
fire started, is a complete loss.
Mr.. Eygleson the owner, carried
50, 400 insurance. which will about
cover his loss, The second floor
was occupied by DR.. Crabtree
office which was total loss, and
as Dr. Crabtree is on duty with
the troops on the border, it is not
known whether there WAS anY-in-
surance or not. In the rear up
stairs the United Drug Store had
a stock of wall paper and some
household goods belonging to
Clark Travis. There was $500 in
surance on the household goods.
The ground floor of the build
ing on the south, which was also
owned by the Power estate, and
which was almost a total loss,
was occupied by the United Drug
Store, and Mr. Travis, the man
ager, estimates that his loss will
be about $4,000 with $4,000 in
surance. The show cases and
some of the stock was carried ou.:
of the building and taken across
the street to the court house
yard.
The second floor was occupied
by the Bates County Record Of
flee and tie office of B. F. Jeter,
1nsticc Of the peace. The loss in
!, ere Jeter office was about $3.50,
which was covered by insurance.
The plant of the Record was a to-
tai loss. All that was saved was
the old files, which were quite val
uablc as they extend back nearly
forty years and contain IA good
history of the development Of
Bates county, and the mailing
list. 1t is not known how much
insurance there is as Mr.. Atkeson
is-m Columbia, visiting his chill
drcn, and has not yet been heard
from.
The loss on the two buildings
will be about $500, with $4,000
insurance.
Thirty-six years ago, in the fall
of 1880, fire started in the same
building and destroyed almost the
entire block.
S. F. Warnock informs us that
new, modern business buildings
will be Immediately erected to
take the place of those burned.
