britlSh cavalry on the western front
and Italian mobile anti-aircraft
gun guarding Venice.
Recent dispatches have told of
cavalry activity on the western front
and anti-aircraft activity in the vi
cinity of Venice. Photos show these
two agencies in action. 1t is consid-
cred unlikely that cavalry will play
much of part in the battles to come
on the western front, at least not
before decentralization sets in among
the Germans. The gun shown in the
lower photograph has been very sue
eessful in keeping German fiers
away from Venice. 1t is mounted on
a truck which can take the gun to
the scene of activity where it is most
needed.

 LOCAL ROAD SUPERVISOR

Commissioner Geraghty announces the appointment of J. E. ("George") Riley as road supervisor for this district for the en- suing year, and no doubt the news will be received with much satisfaction.

 in case practical man could not be found to supervise the local work he would De glad to accept the responsibility himself This does not mean, of course, that he VIII turn over the management of his exten. sive mining operations to others and devote his entire time to the public work; but it does mean that he will bring to the work his ability and energy and that the public will benefit by his han ding of the road funds.

IS CANAL A BLUNDER?

According to the preliminary plans for the four new battle cruisers. they will be about 800 feet long and may have a beam of 105 feet. This great beam would leave but a 6ve-foot margin to clear the locks of the Panama canal. Before our new vessels are ready for service the standard beam for battle cruisers may be made still greater The tendency is to longer and wider vessels to give space for engines and boiler room essential to speed. It causes an uncom-
 ortable feeling to know that our limit has been already reached Pittsburgh Press.
