TO SAVE ST. MARKS
FROM HUN AIR RAIDS

Venice. Nov. 6.-(Corresoondence)-
Measures for the protection OF Saint
Marks, the famous monument of Ven
ice. from the enemy's bombs have now
been completed. The face and sides of
the cathedral are enclosed by an armor
OF bags Of sand held in place by scat
folding which is lined with asbestos as
a protection against incendiary bombs
within a few yards of the main en-
trance.
THE mosaics, both inside and out. are
protected from rushes of air that might
result from explosions by canvas
stretched beneath them which would
serve also to catch all the
might fall and preserve them for
restoration.
All precious objects and works OF art
that could be removed, including the
-four colossal Greek horses on the ia
cade have been removed to safety in
the treasury of the basilica which has
been transformed into a strong room.
stoutly armored. These in the inter.
ior that could not be removed have been
covered with mattresses stuffed with
seaweed around which are piled but.
tresses of sand bags.
The high altar beneath which Saint
Mark is buried and the tomb of Andrea

ENTENTE NAVY TO CLEAR
ADRlATIC OF AUSTRIANS?
By Associated Press.

italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Saturday. Nov. 3.-A naval
bulletin has referred to intense activity
in the gulf Of Trieste. In this onnec-
ton it may be ointed Out that while
attention is chiefly fixed on the two
land fronts in Venetia and the Trentino,
yet the authorities are not overlooking
the fact that the navy has a sea front
on the Adriatic which many experts be-
lieve is the key to the whole situation
In the Austrio-Italian war theater.
This front has undergone a sweep
ing change within the last few days.
Austria cannot possibly receive naval
reinforcements from Germany, as all
the sea routes are controlled by the en-
tente, whereas these routes are open to
permit the entente to assemble a fleet
which would make the reduction of the
Austrian fleet a certainty.
Once the Austrian fleet is destroyed,
1t is pointed out, Austrian mastery OF
the Adriatic disappears, as the whole
range of he coast, including Trieste,
would be under control of the italian
and other entente fleets.
