up the bulk of the pre-war imports, in all likelihood, have greatly increas- ed since the Italian entry into the world combat. The exports were wine, spirits, oil and dried fruits.
 "Brindisi was a very famous town among the ancients. Tarentum colo nists took charge of it's destinies at an early period, and, 245 B. c. the Romans made it their base for their conquest of and communication with the East. The much mentioned Via Appia, which was constructed in the second century before Christ from Rome, over Venusia and Tarentum, ended .here. The description of this way is given by Horace in the tale of his journey from Rome to Brin- disium in company with Maecenas in 37 B. c. Virgil, first of Roman poets, died in this port on his return from Greece in B. c. 19. In 230 B. C., Brindisi was the starting point for the Roman troops that took part in the first Illyrian War, and many of the foremost soldiers of Imperial Rome have paced the streets and squares there while their fleets lay outfitting in the inner harbor.
 ''The splitting up of the Roman Empire into the empires of the West and of the East crushed the inn portance of the ancient port It was no longer the military and naval watchtower over the submission and peace of the lands of the East. The Saracens captured and destroyed the city in S36, and, when crusading be- came the order of European embition, retribution upon the MOslems was launched from the rebuilt city. With | the cessation of the crusades, Brindisi went into a long SomnOlency and awakened first with the forging of a later-day Empire of Rome.'

Remote Antiquity Knew
 Brindisi as WaY-Harb0r

Washington, D. C., Jan. 31.-"Brin- dls1, naval base of the Italians and the port from which the Latins are again sending expeditions into the Balkan and into northern Africa, has been a war-harbor from remote an tiquity. At one time it was the first warport of the western world, when the fleets of Rome bore invincible legions to every region around the Middle Sea-" begins a bulletin just given out by the National Geographic Society. "A people, who ruled along the Adriatic shores long before the infancy of Imperial Rome, made a pirate nest at Brindisi, and took a rich toll on the commerce that passed the narrow gateway of Otranto. Lat CT, when the port had become a Ro- man one, Roman soldiers left this point on missions of conquest for Macedonia, Syria and northeastern Africa. In the Middle Ages the Cru saders made it one of their chief ports for authorization to the Holy Land. With the rise of modern Italy as a naval Power and as a pos- sessor of colonies in Africa, Brindisi has renewed it's oldtime fame and activity.
 The Italian seaport is situated about midway upon the high Italian heel, where the Adriatic narrows into the Strait of Otranto. It is about 45 miles eastnorthe from the port Of Taranto, and 346 miles northeast from the port of Ancona. It IS builded on rocky prOmOntory, which almost encloses it's roomy bay. It's harbors-an inner and an outer harbor-,one almost completely land locked, are excellent There is room for the largest fleets within the in ner harbOr, and this basin is shelter ed from every wind and easily de- tended on account of it's narrow en- trance The biggest boats can enter and make fast to the docks there. A channel, 565 yards long and 165 feet broad connects the inner and outer basins.
 "The comm ercia1 importance held at one time by Brandisi has not been regained. The large steamers of the Peninsula & Oriental Steam Naviga- tion company, among the most i'm portant commercial boats to use the port stopped calling here in 1898, substituting Marselle as their Vest Mediterranean station. Small mail boats, carrying express and passen- gers however, continued to leave the port weekly, connected with the large Oriental steamers at Port Said. Up until the outbreak of the war, considerable business was done through the port bringing about the clearing of some 1,500 vessels year. ly and the handling of more than $6,OOOOOO worth of goods, Coal, flour, sulphur, timber and metals made

NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.

Why did not someone come forward with more pronounced campaign for Connecticut man in the matter ot filling the vacancy on the bench Oi the Supreme Court of the United States? To be sure former President Taft's friends put up a great fight; but, for some. reason or another this case was hopeless from the beginning. At the last moment the Bridgeport Post came forward. with the candidacy of Judge Wheeler. Recognizing the disappointment which exists in our own state over the turn of affairs, the New York Tribune has the following
