VENICE Is UNpisTURBED.

Tho city Of Venice remains com
lparatively undisturbed by the recent
renewal Of enemy pressure on the
lower Piave nearest Venice, whore his
line 10 twelve miles east of the city.
While sheels from the heavy guns could
reach Venice, it is known that the en-
envy has been unable to bring across
the river anything except machine
guns and few pieces of small calibre.
No shells have fallen anywhere near
the city. The rumble of the lombard
ment can be heard daily and nightly,
but the population has become accus-
toned to it, as it has to the previous
menace from the air and sea.
One of the chief reasons for calm
Is the belief that Pope BsSedict has
interviewed In some way by which the
Austrians will not she'll the city.
ART TREASURES MOVED.
The custodians of the art treasures
In the city have considered it desir.
able to move large number Of paint.
tinzs and statutes which up to this
time had been stored within the city.
The most valuable were sent south
months ago, but now the entire bulk
OF removable art treasures has been
taken away. It is estimated that H..
900 square metres Of paintings were
taken from the Ducal palace alone.
The famous equestrian statute be-
fore st. Marks is being dismounted
for removal although it was at first
intended to protect it by brick Gov.
erin9.

Our Pilgrim Fathers sought q land
Where freedom could be crowned
king
And Washington with sword In hand.
Cut the string
On freedoms wing
til from Atlantlc's sea-rocked strand
To the Pacific's gold-strewn sand,
American skies with freedom ring;
And Liberty with shining wand
And wreathed brow, unadvised,
Stands enthroned In full command; /;
America is thus Americanized.
Beyond, Atlantic's heaving waves
Beneath their yokes her brothers
groan,
Staggering to unknown graves,
bleeding, torn,
By cannon's sown
On narrowed earth, less graced than
slaves.
Americas freeborn spirit chafes;
Her sleep is haunted by their moan;
She lifts her hand to break their
chains
And give them life. democracized:
She calls her sons and arms her
braves,
To make the world Americanized.

In order to prevent the stripping of
any community of all available physi-
clans. those who respond to the call
OF the War Department will be mo-
bihzed through a system of selection
which will operate in Alaska, Porto
RICO and Hawaii as well as in the
continental United States. 1t has
been reported that IL 1t should be
necessary some form of conscription
will be resorted to. bat no official
could be found who would admit that
such action was within the range of
probability.
To meet enormous wartime REQUIRE
ments and provide for future needs
the Navy Department in the past
week has contracted for 4,50o, 900 yards
OF woolen uniform cloth. at an az
gregate cost Of more than $4,000. 600,
Inc contracts constitute the largest
purchase of woolen cloth ever made
by the navy, and one of the most
important single contracts for woolen
goods placed in the history Of the
trade, either here or abroad.
The amount OF wool in the grease
required for the manufacture of the
cloth Is upward of 1900, 900 pounds.

1t would require storage space of
about 10000 cubic feet and would
weigh nearly 100000 pounds. 1t will
be sumcient for the manufacture of
about 100000 shirts or jumpers, soo,-
900 pairs of trousers, and $4,000 over
coats.
Secretary Daniels, 1t was learned
last night. has authorized the con-
struction of an aircraft factory at the
League Island Navy Yard, Philadel-
phia, Pa.
In view of the enormous expansion
Of the aeroplane industry now being
undertaken in the United States" Sec
retary Daniels explains" it was felt
that 1t was necessary to increase the
Navy Departments facilities along
these lines, not only to enable it to
supply a part. at least, of its own
needs, but in order that the private
plants might be relieved of the ex-
perimental developments which they
have hitherto undertaken and turn
their whole attention to the maximum
production OF approved types.
The Navy Department has a small
flying field at the League Island yard
adjacent to the factory and excellent
facilities for hydroplanes, so that it
will be able to utilize this plant to
keep the navy in the forefront with
the latest developments in aircraft"

The Return of Root.

that there Is no more lawlessness

States" he would be laughed at; but
when Mr.. Root says it, there Is car
rying force in 1t. He did not mean
1t merely as a sneer at those fire.
quent incursions into unbridled an
archy by which certain provincial
communities have disgraced them
selves, notably East st. Louis and
Bisbee, Ariz., within the past few
weeks. He meant it to show that
there actually is little lawlessness in
Russia, an extraordinary thing In
view of the fact that the first pro-
Vincial government was entirely ten
tative, without police power, without
authority to enforce even the smallest
OF Its DEGREES. The law was kept by
Russians by mutual good will and
agreement, not by any organized gov
ernment. If that Is not a tribute to
the ability Of people to govern
themselves, We do not know what is.
But this editorial is not written with
view to dilating upon the fascinat-
ing mystery Of present-day Russia.
1t is written with a view of expanding
upon the necessity of keeping Elihu
Root in the service of the nation. The
country needs him. He cannot be
spared. President Wilson could make
a master move by insisting on his
remaining in Washington in some ad-
visory capacity where his great gifts
could be utilized.
II this war continues for many more
months. coalition government in the
United States will be necessity. The
incorporation Of Mr.. Root in the man
agement Of the war should be the
first move in this direction. If there
is no place open for him, a place
should be made for him. There have
been so many Cabinet changes in every
other belligerent nation-all with a
view to Strengthening the government
that there should be no hesitation
about initiating the same process in
Washington. And there be few to take
issue with the thesis that the Cabinet
could be strengthened.
The President might place a war
commission In London and Paris, with
MIR. Root at the head of It. The en-
tente is holding frequent conferences
relating to the political and Diplomatic
checkerboard of the war, and IL is
hig'i time that the American govern
met was represented in them Nv a
man Of the highest quality. The need
Of such q man will be particularly
pressing when the new overtures for
peace come from Berlin and Vienna.
