Batteries All Around the City.
On the hills above Tivoli in view Of
the temple where the prophetic books
We're 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 a larger townlet
than the village Of Calvi, and the In
habitants, lulled to a semihypnot1c
somnolence by the never ceasing spell
of their waterfalls, know little OF the
wary guns that guard their slumbe1s.
Along Rome's immediate cOrOnet OF
hills above that Latium where ghostly
lines Of aqueducts 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

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 a strange, sing songlng 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
guardian angels. And at Subiaco, the
cradle Of western monastic orders, all
is ready against the incursion OF ILL.,
mentioned creatures Of the air.
Vatican Real Help to Rome.
And yet, it is perhaps the Vatican
TINT constitutes the best and surest
| anti-aerial weapon. The pope lives
within it's walls, and Austria, the most
Catholic monarchy, will send no bombs
to Rome. AS the capital Of Italy,
Rome would perhaps not be spared.
| but stray bomb on the Vatican would
! 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. It Is doubtful whette r
even Protestant Germany would care
to affront the conscience Of a not in
considerable part Of It's 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out of date as n means Of defense as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.

Interested in Food Bill

but made no comment on its status.
Later. however. he explained that the
powers conferred on him as British
food controller are comprehensive as
those which President Wilson is ask
ing Congress to grant Mr.. Hoover. Ba-
ron Rhondda declared his first move
would be to reduce the price OF neces-
sary food articles, bread. sugar. milk
and meat being the first things with
which he would deal, and he added
that he proposed to do away with all
food speculation in the country. He
asserted that speculation in home
foodstuffs, notably grain and produce.
already had been eliminated. and that
all spectators must go. Further than
that, he continued. he would reduce the
number of middlemen to the lowest
limit.
