Rich In Historic Interest


 The city is rich with historic inter- est for Browning, the poet, lived on the grand canal many years and Rich ard Wagner, the great German mu- sician, died in one of the palaces which decorate either side of the grand canal. Few cities contain so many architectural wonders, for while Venice was enjoying the height of her prosperity her citizens lived in palaces and enjoyed the greatest luxury.
 St. Mark is the patron saint of the city and the motto Peace to thee Mark, my Evangelist" will be found on many of the pictures and buildings Naturally the Cathedral built in honor of the Evangelist is the greatest work of art in the city and days may be spent in examining it's treasures. It is one of the richest pieces of architec- ture in the world. It has not the great doorway of the Cathedral at Amiens, destroyed by the Germans. nor the deep porches of Chartres h. stead there is an antrum in which colored mosaic pictures take the place of solemn rows of sculptured saints. It IS the lneSL piece or byzantine art in the world, next to St. Sophia at Constantinople. The body of St. Mark is buried under the high altar and the place is the center of devotion of | Venice. It is filled with Mosaics and paintings by the old masters, many of whom lived In Venice. It would re quire Q book to fully describe the vast | edifce with It's great story paintings of Biblical scenes, both in mosaic and | painting.
 | The Dogcs Palace
 | The Doges Palace is nearly al old as ! St. Marks, but the interior is of a much later date as the place was gutted by fire in 1874 and again ir 1577. The building itself is a fully developed Gothic type, and is more beautiful when viewed from the GranG Canal, for the sea facade is covered with wonderful carving.

served to us and with all it's tradi- tions and memories and wonders is still destined to delight many hun dreds of thousands of visitors who will throrg it's streets seeking to feast their eyes upon it's many charms.
 The name Venice, which we know as the city of lagoons in it's origin, was not q town but a country, for Venice was known at one time as a great country and included Verona and Padua, all of which grew to be eX- tremely wealthy and the home of Ro- mans, who were interested in art.
 In 453 the Huns failed to destroy that part of the world and more than century later the German tribe of Lombard invaded Italy, but they too failed to reach the city, which is built on islands with picturesque lagoons running between them.
 Historic Bronze Horses
 The early Venetians were ruled by Doge, who made q successful war against Constantinople, and his men brought back many ideas of art from that place and Venice became a Ro- anesqUe-ByZantine city. The leu tons never secured any part of this land and their barbarism was con fined 10 sections farther north. The great bronze horses of St. Marks form

dation of all human activity is food Without it everything else Iags. The workman cannot produce if he is not well fed and the IabOrer in mill and factory, in shop and office fails to per form his duties properly unless he Is well nourished. Here is where the motor truck can play big part in the worlds rebuilding.
 Conservation
 But there must be conservation. That is another of the great lessons which the war has taught. This ap- plies to the individual and to the big business concern alike. The gasoline less Sundays through which the coun- try recently passed showed the nation that this product must not be wasted. The supply was not unlimited, and pro- duction could not keep up to the heavy demands for war purposes The same is true after the war. The president of a large automobile concern pointed out only the other day that there can be saving of millions of gallons or gasoline by proper adjustment of the cars carburetor, and on the basis Of ,. 900. 900 cars in the United States, of which about half are in daily use, he figured that this saving would amount to 912.500,00O gallons year, which at the average price of g cents gal lon would be worth SIPS, ,125, 900, There is need for improved and eX- tended transportation systems and they will come. In the meantime so great is the demand for food in all parts of the world that no transporta- ton must be lost. It must be con served in the same way that copper and iron and wheat and beef and every other product is saved. That is why the National War Garden Commission is urging everyone 10 plant Victory Gardens in 1919, for every home vegc- table plot means an addition to the vitally needed worlds food supply and also a saving of transportation. With millions of such gardens there will be great release of freight cars and motor trucks and of men for other work.
 More and more will the motor truck provide the transportation needed to help carry the worlds supplies. Thou sands of miles of roads will be inn proved so that the automobile may go speeding on its way. Without it the war could not have been won. Without t the work of reconstructiori and the progress of mankind could no. go on. In spite of old John Cresse' and his diatrlbe against stage coacheI the swift carriers of today move l around the world.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-25

During the busy and strenuous recon struction days which in many ways will call for bigger tasks than the war itself imposed, with the handling of millions of tons of material, transpor- tation will be one of the big problems. The motor vehicle must help to solve them. As it has done during the war period, so it must continue to take from the overcrowded railroads a large part of the burden which they are unable to carry. The element of time is an important consideration In hundreds of cases during the war it has been vital. A days delay often would have meant disaster. The les sons which have been learned by the army of the United States and the Allies have made an indelible impress sion. The officers and tie men will never forget what they owe to the motor truck and the automobile. Hun dreds of thousands of manufacturers and business men also have seen what wonders it has accomplished, how it has helped to make the rapid advance of material and men possible.
 tlSufeS That SldSSCF
 When one considers the immense amount of food, guns, ammunition and supplies of all kinds which had to be carried to the army and moved for ward and then recalls that a large part of this was hauled at least par. Of the distance by motor, it gives some idea of the great service performed by l., o,E,= most recently given out show that the American Army in France required in food alone every day 1,50O,00 pounds of refrigerated and fresh beef, in ad- dition to hundreds of thousands of pounds of bacon, mutton, corned beef, canned salmon, dried and pickled meats and fish, while more than 200,- 900 cans of tomatoes, corn and peas, 5000 cans of peaches, 5000 jars of pickles. 5000 bottles of catsup, and tons of sugar coffee. flour, potatoes, beans and so on enter into the days rations.
 With more than 100, 00o,Oo people in Northern France, Belgium, Serbia Poland, Armenia and others released from the iron wall of German mili tarism to be fed for long time tc come after the coming of peace. it i' readily seen that much attention mus be given to transportation. The ques ton of distribution always has beer an important economic factor in tht worlds life, but never more so than at the present moment. Whatever will facilitate it, therefore, must be encouraged to the utmost. The foun

fear of speed" James I. Blakslee, fourth assistant postmaster general, announced the other day that we shall soon be moving the mails-and mails will include a whole unexpected variety of things-in new modes be- fore the generation finishes;" and then he added that aeroplanes and motor trucks would be carrying a large part of the mails while trains would be but one factor in this new system. Air planes for the thousand-mile distances, trains for the 5O0-mile and motor trucks for the 250-mile distances; that's about the schedule. as he fig ured it out.
 Motors Changed Warfare
 It Is far call from the days of the old stage coach, from the Indians birch bark canoe in which he trans ported his supplies, and from the first trains that sped" along the tracks at the breath-taking pace of twelve miles an hour, to the day of the aero and the express motor truck. There is no greater revolution than that which has been brought about-which is even now In progress-in the worlds trans portation systems. The war has been largely responsible for this, for it has

tlres of St. Mark, St. Peter and St. Paul. Great columns rise in front containing various Biblical statues. By standing near these columns you get a wonderful view of certain parts of St. Marks. The great staircase was built by Rizzo in 1884, and is the main entrance to the palace. At the top of this stairway all Doges of Ven Ice were crowned with the old formula of Latin Receive the ducal crown of Venice" The Renaissance statues of Mars and Neptune stand on either side representing the Military and Naval supremacy Of Venice. The figures are so heroic that they almost surpass Christian symbolism.
 Between them and over the arch Is St. Marks Winged Lion. Some part of the palace was once used as a prison although it houses some of the finest pictures in Venice. In the rear of the palace crossing a small canal is a bridge known as the Bridge of Sighs." During the early Eighteenth Century crossing the Bridge in Venice meant a horrible confinement to pris- oners as those taken for political req sons passed here.
 Fine Churches
 To the lover of fine old churches, Venice is a joy forever for the whole city is honeycombed with them. When ever a plague passed over Venice they i built a church as a memorial. | The greatest one built is a Fran ciscan church, known as The Redem- ture, erected as a votive offering for the cessation of the plague epidemic of 1576, which killed 50,o0o persons in the City of Venice. This church contains a Madonna considered Gio- vanni Bellinis best work. It repre- sents the Virgin in red with the sleep ing child on pillow upon her knee attended by two angels. There is also a remarkable picture of the Ascension l by Tintoretto.
 Another votive offering in the way
 of a church is the Madonna della Sa.

 been visited by the plague and 46,OOC persons had perished. The church

part of the history of Venice, for if seems that every conqueror of the city moved them to his own country, and for centuries they have remained in tact even to the present day when they were placed under ground and cov- cred with sand bags. They date back many centuries. When Constantine founded Constantinople he moved them to the Turkish Capitol to adorn the Hippodrome. Again in 1904 when Doge Enrico conquered the Turkish capitol he had the horses brought back to Venice and set up on the Drucal chapel, where they remained until the time of Napoleon. who sent them to Paris, and had them placed on an arch which he erected in the Place du Carrousel. However, on the first establishment of peace the Elm peror Francis of Austria. to whom Venice was assigned restored them to St. Marks. Finally in 1866 Austria re- leased Venice and it became a part of Italy.
 City Of Wealth
 Apart from it's being an art center Venice has had q glorious history con- mercially as the leading state of the world when she owned three thousand ships, which were manned by thirty thousand men. At present it is known

To the right the Virgin is seen sending an angel 10 repel the pestilence. On the left are number of plague pictures, among them striking picture of St. Mark.

Much of Titian's work may be seen, and altogether it is regarded as one Of the most artistic churches of the Ci,y. The Santa Marie Del Carinove, San Toma, San Rocco and San Salvatore are few of the others which contain great paintings.
 Paintings Removed | The Academy where many of inc old masters are preserved was literal l ly denuded of it's pictures during tho present war, for knowing the work Of the Hun they sent them to places Of safety.
 Venice is rich in statuary and this
 was protected against air raids. espe-
 cially the splendid bronze equestrian
 statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, which
 is the pride of the Venetians.
 Venice is still commercial city with
 it's woodcarviug, mosaics and glass
 ware It is also famous for it's faces. Shipbuilding and the manufacture of torpedoes are also among it's indus
 tries. There is also a large arsenal considered one of the finest in the
 world which employs 5000 men. During the War between Italy and
 Austria a bomb fell nearby this place
 but failed to explode. The termina-
 tion of hostilities has saved this pie turesque city from the hand of the
 vandaI and we may again look upon 5 it's rare beauty.

American Army. It was the motor truck which made possible the con centration of troops, the speedy de- livery of tons of supplies and ammuni- ton. Machine guns mounted on mo- tor trucks performed deadly and eff fective service in some fSthe engage ments with the Huns. Even passenger cars were turned into moving fort resses, which poured their destructive hail of shell into the ranks of the enemy.
 Vital Factor In Reconstruction
 So powerful a factor has the motor car proved itself during the war that it will be a growing force in the trans portation systems of the world in the days of peace. The motor truck has shown that it can deliver the goods" ,"
