Batteries All Around the City.
On the hills above Tivoli, in view Of
the temple where the prophetic books
were kept that held the story of Rome
and where wise sibyl uttered oracu-
lar truths tempered with probability
another battery of straight muzzles
takes heed only of the deep, silken
night sky. This is larger townlet
than the village of Calvi, and the in
habitants. lulled to semihypnotic
sOmnolence by the never ceasing spell
of their waterfalls, know little of the
wary guns that guard their slumbers.
Along Rome's immediate coropet OF
hills, above that Latium where ghostly
lines of nqueducts and here and there
ruined group of gnarled old tower
spell out the tale Of Roman and baro-
NAL days, more batteries guard the Sc
curity of the eternal city, and the same
is the case farther down where little
well Of acidulous water that is much
drunk in the hot weather sends in its
daily supply on summer mornings, to-
gether with the brightly colored fruit
carts, to be sold In the streets heralded
by strange, sing songing cry.
AS far away as the Simbruni hills
that lead in gradations Of wildness to
the harsh heart Of central Italy, the
Rome-Sulmona railroad has its grim
cradle of western monastic orders, all
is ready against the incursiOn of ILL
intentioned creatures Of the air.
Vatican Real Help to Rome.
And yet, it Is perhaps the Vatican
that constitutes the best and surest
anti-aerial weapon. The pope lives
within its walls, and Austria, the most
Catholic monarchy, will send no bombs
to Rome. AS the capital of Italy,
Rome would perhaps not be spared,
trouble the consciences of the dual
monarchy more than the slaughter Of
any number Of innocent noncombat-
ants and create complications for the
imperial government greater than they
care to face. 1t is doubtful whether
even Protestant Germany would care
to affront the conscience Of n not in
considerable part of its population.
There have been no formal assurances
given to that effect-if they exist they
| have not been made public-yet there
seems to be tacit understanding
that because of the pope's presence
Rome is to be respected.
Thus this city of many vicissitudes
though prayer and fasting are as much
out of date as means of defense as
the terror by night" that haunted the
old monks Of Subiaco, carries within
herself purely spiritual defense more
powerful than any girdle Of steel.

The theory of hidden and possible

proved to be highly improbable, writes
Magda Sindici in the Chicago News.
The latter would be the best side on
which to attack, only it has the great
disadvantage as a scheme, Of not be-

Maremma marshes would have to be

In the early part of her reign boat
laden with cells sailed up the Thames
and part of the cargo was sent to the

was so delighted with the, at that time

VisjerzOnen charter which made
the River Thames free to him and his

dues and gave his descendants the
right to moor at certain spot In the

But one condition of the charter
was to the effect that the mooring

the place was unused the privilege

eel trade fell off considerably and the
submarine activity completely killed
it off about two years ago.
Captain Villum, the last arrival in

HEARTY APPROVAL

Among the many new motor cars in
Pensacola at the present time there
are perhaps none that attract more
attention than the new Paige of which
Dudley McCaskill is the West Florida
distributor. While the Paige is in a
way a new venture in motor circles
of Pensacola, Git is widely known else
where throughout the country, and
never fails to meet with instant and
lasting approval of motor enthus-
lasts.
Mr.. McCaskill stated this morning
that he had just received his first
shipment and felt very much en-
couraged over the prospects of spien-
did success in handling this car; that
he had already placed two of them
with prominent local business men
and that he would very likely dispose
of the remainder in short order. He
hopes to be able to announce another
new shipment within the next few
days.

The largest crowd of the summer
season gathered in West Side Park on
Sunday evening to hear the semi-classi-

Community Band. Standing room went
at a premium and all available space
was filed with eager listeners who
knew from past experience or local
hearsay the high grade of music to be
expected from this distinguished ag-
gregation. Nor were they disappoint-
ed in their bright anticipation. The
band never played better. Solo and
ensemble numbers were interpreted
with an ease and abandonment that
evidenced complete mastery and elici-
ted storms of applause from an appre-
ciative audience Especially popular
were the trombone solos of F. Locante,
the cornet numbers Of L. Ritacca and
the ensemble rendition of Frank Lo-
cante s original composition, "Dream
Waltz. = The concert from every
standpoint was the most successful of
the season and proved great adver-
tisement for the Community players.
