PAINTING OF
 VIRGIN MARY
 RE-ENTHRONED

It argues we'll for the existence in the human breast for a love and ten derness yet lingering for the Beauti- full, the Noblest. the Purest, that amidst the terrible clash of terrible passions of the years just passed 1914-191s-the City of Venice, Italy. buried in the earth to save 1t, one of it's treasures, the painting of the As sumption of the Virgin Mary, by the great Venetian artist, Titan. It had hung for two centuries on the walls of the Academia in Venice. II mas re- gently been restored to its old en- thronement. The painting portrays the Mother of Christ, upborn by an- gels and cherubs and enchanted clouds of evening ascending into hea- ven. Her hands are outstretched, as If she forecasts the welcome of her di- vine Son. Through many centuries this subject-the Madonna-has en- gagged the rapt- toll of the genius of men in the arts of painting and sculp- ture and letters. Where the cereprat- ed painting of the Sistine Madonna hangs in the Gallery of Dresden, men and women hush their voices to a whisper and step on tiptoes. into a chapel where a divine service Is be- ing held. And the first drawing or sketch of that sublime work by Ra- phael was made in his youth, and with a bit of broken crayon-and on the head of a flour barrel! It happen ed thus: When very poor, in his early struggles, and when wandering along a road in Tuscany, Italy, he sat down to rest one afternoon on the wayside, a bit forlorn, and hungry and de- pressed He glanced up. At a. peasants doorway, ashort distance from where he sat, there stood a beautiful young woman with a baby in her arms. It was the way she held that child, as if enthroned on her bosom. that caught the eye of the young genius. The q: vine spark g1owed again within Ra- phael.

MEN DIED FOR
 NAPOLEON AS IF
 HE WERE A GOD

There are words which, if you touch them. burn. There are words which, if you touch them, bleed. At a dinner of eminent men not long ago, where the topic was Great Men" one of the diners set the table to laughing by exclaiming, That chap
 Napoleon Bonaparte, would never have made history if it hadn't been his name" The syllables certainly roll out with kind of grandeur. But the soldier, statesman, conqueror, en- peror, liver up to his syllables. The man whose tread shook the world and he was only 67 inches tall-may be contemplated in three phases-as a commander, statesman, and as private individual. His military genius may be contested by jealous bankers but man who redrew the map of Europe commands the thoughtful at tention of brave men. The little Cor sican was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica
 (Island of Corsica,) Tyrrhenian Sea on August 18th, 1769. He seems to have derived from his mother, who was a descendant of a family of the wild interior of Corsica-that sterner strain of force of will-the power of forming a quick decision, and of main taining 1t against all odds, which made Napeoleon the Great so terri ble an opponent in war, and in diplo- macy. AS a baby he delighted most in beating a drum and brandishing a sword. It Is remarkable that at the Military School at Brienne, France, whither he was sent, he was not re- marked for any special brilliancy. The Revolution was destined to mould anew his ideas and his career. It was in the garrison at AuXonne that he became in the relation sub sisting "HAveen political science and war. It was Machiavelli, who taught him the need of speed, decision and unity in command of war. When he developed later the extraordinary fac ulty of choosing the right man for the right place. the Minister or the Marshall, he remarked, "I choose my officers from men having big noses'' His ascendency baff1eS human calcu- lation. His name blew across Europe, and Africa, in a whirlwind of fire And men died for him, as were he a god.

KEEP ON BUILDING
SHIPS. SAYS DANIELS
Sees Bigger Vessels and
Smaller CrelDs Coming.

BALrIMoRE, Jan. 29.-'The biggest
question in the United States to-day is
the merchant marine question" said
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels in an ad-
dress here Tonight at the annual East
ern Shore banquet. The United states
Mr. Daniels declared. cannot afford TO
stop building ships unless 1t wishes to
withdraw into its own national limits
and surrender its share OF the trade and
wealth Of the world 10 other countries
"If We have wisdom and sporting
blood" said the Secretary. I'VE will
carry commerce TO the uttermost parts
OF the world and barter with man under
every sky. Never again should the
United states be guilty OF the folly of
trusting practically all OF Its world COM
merce TO foreign bottoms
I'm spite OF the mistakes due TO haste
and high costs under war conditions one
lasting good has come from the revival
Of shipbuidinG during the war-we have
rescued the construction OF ships from
craft and made 1t a trade. Hundreds
Of thousands OF men who never drove a
rivet before 1917 became expert riveters
and are trained in other branches o:

Mr. Daniels predicted that American
yards in the future would build bigger
ships with greater steaminS radius than
the cargo carriers Of to-day. and said
they would be of such design as to call
for smaller crews
