Ruins OF Prehistoric
Bog Village Found in
Province OF Verona

Venice, italy, Oct 2O.-At FeuilOttJ.
la the province OF Verona, near the
river AdiEo, workmen, while exca-
waiting q mOrass. found numerous
rows of pales about eight inches in
diameter and ten feet long These
posts are not round. but ten OF u
sided, and on the strata in which they
are fixed have been found a great
quantity Of fragments. including pot
terry, human and animal bones, pieces
Of coal, marble-and granite, these asst
bearing traces or ornamen tatiOn. Il
is evidently the remains Of a prehis-
toric bog village, where the houses
were supported upon poles, and which
existed before the formation of the
present mOrass.
This discovery is considered very
important in connection with the pre-
historic study Of the spot. near which
is the site on which. during the first
centuries OF Rome, stood Oppidanum
OF which there are many interesting
records.

may be OF service to correct this con-
fusion by a clear statement OF the
views now prevailing.
Claim Position ImpregnabIe.
"For US the one dominating fact
from which We start is that we hold
Belgium firmly. Our opponent is still
unable. IN spite Of enormous exer-
tons and sacrifices, to dislodge US
from this firm position or to shake
Us in it. That Is the starting point
for every German consideration and
for all dealings with our present enc
niles.
THE question OF Belgium's future.
however. must. Of course. not be con-
sidered and solved by itself II must
be decided in conjunction with all the
questions OF war and peace.
Allies Must Act First.
IF our enemies are ready 10 re-
nOunce their territorial and economic
policy OF conquest, and also the con-
quests which they have already tried
to make during the war at the eX-
pense OF Germany and her allies, then
we, too, are ready.
Belgium n Pawn.
AS regards the Belgian question in
particular, for which a special inter
est is felt in Great Britain, We are.
under the above mentioned conditions,
undoubtedly ready to restore the in
dependence Of Belgium under a guar
antee for the right Of existence for
the various natiOnalities dwelling in
Belgium and under guarantees for the
real neutrality Of Belgium, which Will
have 20 be discussed Until the decis-
ion on the questions Of peace is
reached collectively. Belgium, like
every other occupied region, must
naturally be useful to Us as pawn.
