 On this sector the Italians have superiority of artillery. It is at night that the Italian guns do their hardest work. At night the Austrians always attempt to constTuct field works or to lay bridges of boats across the Piave Vecchia to the canals. They take a number of boats, tie them together and swing them out from one bank trusting to the current to float them into place on the other side. It is the business of the Italian floating batter ies to drive away these bridge build CTS and to destroy the fruits of their labors and this they do with surprising success.
 In Venice, herself, have seen no sign of actual damage, except hole 1 torn in the roof of San Giovanni and ! San Paolo by an Austrian airplane bomb. The front of San Marco and the pillars of the Doge's Palace have been bricked up so that nothing of them remains visible The same pre- cautions have been taken with the fa- nous statue of Colleoni and, in fact
 with all the monuments of the town that can be so protected. In the Pi-
 aga di San Marco almost all the shops are closed, but a number are still opeE
 in the Merceria, and, although almost all the gondolas have vanished, it is still possible to find one to take you up the Grand Canal.

lad was apprenticed to his brother James, a printer.
 While employed in the printing of flee Benjamin read many books. Among them were the works of sever al of the early free=thinkers, and Ben jamin at sixteen became a sceptic. At the same time he read books advoca- ting a vegetable diet, and put the theory into practice because of it's eco nomy. When he became a newspaper publisher in Philadelphia, and some wealthy gentlemen attempted to dom i mate his editorial policies, Franklin's vegetarianism enable him to say: My
 friends, any man who can subsist on
 sawdust pudding and water, as l can,
 needs no mans patronage"
 | Benjamin's anonymous contribu- tions to his brothers paper, the New England Courant, were so outspoken in their denunciation of religion and other established institutions that the Mathers, custodians of Boston's con-
 science, accused the Franklins of hav- ing established a "He1l-Fire Club of Boston, This was reference to the so-called 'hell-fire clubs" of England and Ireland, in which young men of good families abandoned themselves
 to the most disgraceful orgies. The l Courant replied to this charge with an editorial in which the author of the 'he1l-fire" article was referred to
 as fool" and |" young wretch"
 | Benjamin F'ranklin's contrib utions
 to the Courant were in part respon-

Here in the salt channel between the islands we come sudden ly upon a floating battery or potoon, as the Italians call them. It is a big steel barge mounting gun which has been steadily pounding the Austrians on the Piave Vecchia all night. She is manned by sailors for the artillery de- fense of Venice is entirely in the hands of the navy.
 From Porte Grandi, as far as the eye can see the land is covered with waste of muddy water with rows of half-submerged willows marking out the fields which it covers and here and there an isolated clump of farm buildings emerging from the floods We are here on the edge of the Piave inundations and in another naval ar tillery defense belt. High banked roads, dikes and farm houses are al that remain above water. Some o1 these farm house islands are held by Austrians and some by Italians and il IS the ann Ol DoIH sues to ueSCFOy the farms held by the enemy. A few nights ago some Italian sailors under. took a cutting out expedition agains one of the Austrian islands, captured and burned the buildings and came

CITY OF VENICE, MENACEO BY HUN
 CUNFIRE PUTS TRUST IN HER lAGOONS TO STOP. HUN ADVANCE

Wnh the French Army in Italy, Jan. 1a.-Before the menace of the modern HRn, Venice whose lagoons centuries ago furnished an asylum of safety for Sefnsees fleeing from Attila, is today almost emptied. Of the 15o, 900 per- spns who ordinarily inhabit the city, only about 1000 remain. But this is mot because Venice fears for her own protection. Across the battlefield of the reeds 1t is believed that no invad- CT will penetrate to the islands of the Venetian lagoon. The city puts her trust in the lagoons as confidently as she trusted to the sea in olden times.
 To the vtRitor in Venice in these days when the invading army lies only a short march distant, one of the odd memories of the war will be that of the music of the great guns bombing from the Lddi and the nests of reedy islets in the northern lagoon. That music accompanies you all day in Ven. ice.
 The Queen of the Adriatfc keeps her fSce to the foe, She has shut her shops and sent her merchandise away, The army or the navy have taken nel young men. Those that remain have brtckod up or sand-bagged hel churches and monuments and now await the issue in entire calm, conf dent that although the enemy is nc more than a long gun shot away, it i! not at her own gates that Venice i! menaced.

An Atlantic Port, Jan. 1S.-The Ha- WaIian-American line steamer Texan, which was in collision at sea last Monday, arrived here safely today under her own steam It became known that she was rammed by a conveying warship which punched a large hole in her port side.
 The Texans water tight bulkheads saved her from sinking. Several com partments were full of water when the big merchantmen steamed slowly into port. As far as could be learned the Texan made her return voyage from the scene of the accident unes- corted. It was said that none of the crew was injured. The vessel will be dry docked for repairs

Great Philosopher Wrote Many Articles Denouncing
 Religion of His Day.

Two hundred and twelve years ago today Benjamin Franklin was born, and while the anniversary will not be generally observed in the republic which the great editor and philoso- pher helped to establish, 1t will by no means pass unnoticed. The printers of America have never ceased to cele- brate Franklin's birthday
 It has often been said that England ewes it's greatness to it's younger sons, and in the present war the truth ot this saving has been abundantly jus tlfied.

There must be comrade to listen
To stories of sorrow and woe;
There must be two eyes that will
glisten
And join in the laughter we know.
There must be friend to confide in,
When trouble would torture the
Souf:
There must be a home to abide in
AS Age comes to levy its toll.
There must be an arm we can rest on,
To help us along on our way;
There must be a lip with a jest on
To tighten the cares of the day.
There must be a and-shake and
greeting
From someone,-the Song Of a
Smile,
There must be some reason for
meeting
Or life would not be worth the
while.

lost that the nature of her cargo is re-

tom do not exercise the same retic-

tistics supplied by the German Ad-
miralty setting forth the valuable con-

is a cargo of foodstuffs, details Of

THE MAN TO BLAME

For whatever happens in the next
forty days so far as the weather is
concerned, we shall blame that pestif-
erous creature, the grounding. VENT,
vedit,-he came, he saw What he
saw was his shadow. He could not
have helped this, true; for Old Sol, in
all his glory, shone forth and cast the
reflection of the little old man from
the dug out. There, sitting on the
breast works of his fortified home
just after he had come lover the top, :"
Mr.. Ground Hog was acquainted with
the nature of his form. And, so ira
dition has it, he now goes back into
his trench and prepares for a. forty
day bonn bardment Of the elements.
The war of the weather Will at lea st
last that long. There will be no
peace, not even a make-snift truce
with old Boreas and his windy CO.
horts from the Northland SO. we
must prepare to weather the alta ok
Of the elements, and do so without
laying further abuse upon the head
of Fuel Administrator Garfield. Shift.
ing the responsibility, let US now
blame it on the ground-hog.

The History Of Spyro Hayick

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Spvro."
SAID his wife penitently. you

or the night I thought Of some
things I'd forgotten to order
from the grocer, so I tied a
knot IN the sheet for the graf

a knot in the quilt for the cell

he found knots in his shirt,

took him twenty minutes to
unite, not including stops for
sneezes.
This is plenty, Ochra.' he
said in a strangled voice"
At the breakfast table. while
he was sullenly undoine a par

ooh, Spyro, whatcha think?
My brother Darple, the ono in

"Ochra-" said Spyro Havick
in mumbling tones, this is too

And he left the house for

from his custom of never hay
