Italian Naval Guns
Now Are Cooperating

By the Associated Press.

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, November 16-The
booming of Italian naval guns could
be heard distinctly here this morning.
showing that the navy as well as the
army was doing it's part. The fire of
the naval guns was directed against
the enemy positions on the lower Pjave.
reports received during the early
hours continued to be favorable
The inundated section between the
Pfave and the Sile rivers effectively
holds the enemy at most exposed points
for fifteen miles on the west bank of
the Piave. The flooded section covers
about seventy square miles and the
water is from a foot to five feet deeu
depending on the topography. making
IT impossible of occupation or for the
movement of enemy troops While this
section is blocked by water the enemy
still clinSs to the west bank at Zenson
but they are crowded into a small u
shaped position and are relying on
their batteries acros the river to keep
the Italians back.
Austro-German efforts to bring over
large forces by pontoons have not sue
ceeded, according to latest reports
either at Zenson or at points farther
north where the invaders are feeling
their way toward getting across.
Enemy attacks in the Asiago sec
tion of the eastern Trentino front are
very heavy, with the evident purpose
of trying to separate the Italians on
the Trentino from those on the Piaye
front
Enemy air raiders were seen flying
over the Italian headquarters early to-
day. The batteries fired on them but
the craft got away without doing any
damage.

PARIS, November 17.-Auguste Rodin,
the famous sculptor, is dead.
NJ. Rodin died in his villa at Meudon in
the outskirts of Paris, after an Illness of
a few days. Had he lived, NJ Rodin
would have been elected a member Of the
Academy of Fine Arts by almost unani-
nous vote a week from today.
Auguste Rodin struggled fifty years
against poverty and abuse and ridicule
for his unconventional ideas before he
achieved undisputed celebrity as one
Of the most famous sculptors of the
world. Continuing his work until past
his seventy-f1fth year, he had, how
ever, notwithstanding those early han
dicaps, still time to enrich the world
with innumerable examples of his i'm
pressionistic. inspirational works, which
are priced both in Europe and America
When finally recognized, NJ. Rcdin
was hailed by his admirers as 1.-The
Michael Angelo of the modern world -
He was a worker in mass, producing
his subjects In detail only SO far as
would bring out his dominating con-
ception. His work thus had a far less
finished form than the conventional
school of his day. Being thus ahead
Of his time. it was only by degrees
that he forced recognition. His own
feeling was: Il had rather be under
stood by a few than known to the
world" and storms of criticism were
never strong enough to turn him from
his course.
Parents Wretchedly Poor.
Born in Paris in 1910. of wretchedly
poor parents, he was first heard of in
1864, when, after a short time spent
in studying under Barye, he sent his
mask, The Man With the Broken,
| Nose" to the salon. Although this in
all that was great In his later work, 1t
was refused, and his poverty Obliged
him to spend the next six years in the
drudgery of an artists assistant. doing
all the tedious, mechanical, profitless
labor Of an artisan. Later he coIIab-
Grated with a Belgian sculptor in
carving figures for the brussels
bourse. and then tried his hand on
potter's clay at Sevres factory.
His second attempt to gain recogni-
ing. He submitted. in 1877. '"The Age
Of Bronze" only to have 1t rejected
and to have himself accused Of casting
1t from life instead of creating an
original work. Too dismayed to recos-
nize what was in reality an extraor-
binary testimony to his powers, M.
Rodin Indignantly protested. while the
Partisan critics heaped further abuse
upon him.
1t was not until 1880. after the ex-
hibition of his ST. John the Baptist.
that the tide began to turn in his
favor. Struck with the genius dis
played In this. work, the sculptor
Boucher commissioned NJ. Rodin to
execute q group Of children for him.

INDOOR WORK FOR
WOMAN CARRIERS
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Nc
Grath on Routes Today
for Last Time.

! Washington's two woman letter car
riers. Mrs. Permelia Campbell ane
! Mrs. Nellie McGrath. appointed two
weeks ago by Postmaster Chance
went over their routes today for thu
last time. for the present, at least.
Postmaster Chance. after a confer
ence with the Civil Service Commission
today decided to remove the first Of
the nations woman letter carriers
from the outside work. and will put
the women to work inside the city
post office.
THE women have rendered very sat
isfactory service" Postmaster Chance
declared. Such satisfactory service. in
deel, he said. that the Civil Service
Comm isSion. on the strength OF the
record of the two women for the past
two weeks. has decided to open the
carrier examination to be held next
Saturday to women.
Substitute Carriers Objected.
But in the meantime Postmaster
Chance will place the two women at
work INSIDE the city post office. The
appointment of the women was purely
experimental, he pointed out today. The
appointments. which attracted nation
wide attention. were not under the
civil service. 1t is known that some
exception was taken to the appoint
ment of the two women by the substi-
tute letter carriers of the local force.
who felt that the women should have
been required to take the civil service
examinations.
Mrs. Campbell. who was taken from
the pickup" table on the workroom
floor of the city post office to become
letter carrier, will be given back
her old place at the table. There are
now a dozen women manning" the
pickup table, where letters are
sorted.
Mrs. McGrath will be offered posi-
tion in the city post office. but 1t is
probable that she will not accept 1T.
return to the hospital near Philadel-
phia where she recently completed a
course as a nurse, and will take up
further work there.
Both of the women were advised to-
day by Postmaster Chance to take the
civil service examination which will
be given next Saturday. The examina-
ton is for carriers and for clerks for
the local post office. and both men and
women may take the examinations
either for clerk or letter carrier.
Both Women Made Good.
Postmaster Chance was emphatic to-
day in his praise of the two woman
letter carriers, and declared that he
wished it especially emphasized that
the two women were not removed from
their duties as letter carriers because
they had not made good
Mr.. Chance expressed the hope that
both of them will take the civil service
examination and qualify, so that they
may be appointed according to the
civil service regulations. -.s-
1t is expected that the results of the
coming examination will not be known
until about the first of the year. Until
that time there are to be no more
woman letter carriers.
