triangle Of trade routes, NTH its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri-
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer. a voyage OF more than
5000 miles. The only other method OF
egress was steamer TO Ponape
which connected with a French line
to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains Of
jewels, the islands stretch from north
west TO southeast, each with its Ia
COON setting encased by strangely
shaped circlet of coral some like tri.
angles, harps and stirrups, and one
outlining bulls head with its horns.
Straight haired, dark brown natives,
still preserving the religious signifi-
canoe of tattoo and taboo, are TO be
found. Once a sturdy, reliant, sea
faring people, for they were the best
mariners in the Pacific, the white
mans coming, as in the case of his
advent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
holiness and adventure winch made
them the hardest of the Microneasian
peoples. Many of the young died of
tuberculosis.
Skillful and fearless nayigatOrs, the
natives used bread-tree wood TO make
Ia. s.l, 81. "a
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made Of sticks, showing the
locations of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With petit
tions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
TO return to earth in certain palm
trees which they set off In stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed,
and thus certain species became Ia
boo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentiouS. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
matched roofs covered the combina-
ton house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains Their
entire area is not more than 100
square miles; their native population
before the war was $4,000. with fewer
than 300 foreigners. The seat of Ger.
most populous island Is Majeru, with
but 1000 persons.
Other explorers had touched ut The
islands but they, with. the Gilbert
group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex-
plored them in 1888. The Germans
annexed the islands in 1886.

CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

Milan, chief city of the Lombardy-
Piedmont region Of Italy, where work
ers seized factories several months
ago, and where much unrest has been
manifested since, has frankly consid-
cred itself for long years the virtual
capitalize "capltale morale"-of Tho
country
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported 10 have been
seized by workmen in practically all
parts of Italy; but ii was in Lombardy
and Piedmont, the territorial division
lying farthest north and farthest
northwest in the peninsula-the seats
of the important Italian metal indus
trles-that the seizures were most nu-
merous. In those regions, in turn, the
movement was most pronounced in
and about Turin, the principal city of
the Piedmont, and the Detroit Of Italy (;
and In Milan, metropolis Of the north,
and Italy's Fall River Philadelphia
and Schenectady rolled into one.
Lombardy and the Piedmont COM
prise the plains OF the upper reaches
Of the great Pc valley, the Alpine foot
hills, and the southern and eastern
slopes Of large part of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on n fertile plain near
the southern ends of some Of the most
important Of the Alpine passes, was a
town of considerable Importance even
In the dim historic days of ODD b. c..
when 1t was captured by the Romans.
1t was then, as it is today, second
city In point of population in Italy.
Milan early earned position of lead
ership among surrounding cities, a
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by league
OF neighboring towns, and ut other
times by alien conquerors. After each
destruction II has sprung UP on u seem
ingly hrmer foundation TO achieve
greater popularity and more far
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained us an index TO in
dustrial unrest, 1t Is leader among
Italian cities in other respects. In
deed, the Milanese insist that their
city, their "capitale morale" Is the
very heart and head Of Italy's mod
ern life and activity-"first I'm indus
try, first in municipal progress, first
in political Importance"
The Industrial plants of modern
Milan have fairly burst the confines
of the old city and many are to be
found in numerous populous suburbs
that have sprung up, especially since
1898. The population now numbers
close to three-quarters of million.
1t Is exceeded only slightly, If at all,
by that of Naples, and is considered
In excess of that Of Rome.

FORMER AUSTRIAN NAVAL
BASE NOW ITALIAN
STRONGHOLD

Pola, formerly important TO Austria
as its naval base, now is equally i'm
portant to Italy, for a different rea-
son. A glance ut map of the Adriatic
will show that the possession Of Pola,
and the recent acquisition of the island
of Chers0, by the terms of the Rapallo
agreement, give Italy control of the
water route TO Fiume.
Situated near the extremity Of the
Istrian peninsula. So miles by rail
southwest of Trieste, Polas sole i'm
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provi-
sioning and harboring Of the Austrian
without industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1900 the population Of Pola was
about what it had been eighteen cen
turtles before under the rule of Roman
emperors. During the succeeding ten
years, however, 1t grew from $4,000 TO
10000.
The practically land-locked harbor
is divided, the upper or northern half
being the commercial roadstead, and
which connects Scoglio Olivi, or Olive
island, with the mainland) being the
Porto Militare. with the extensive ma
rine arsenal on the southeastern shore.
The city itself clusters around a
castle-crowned hill which was once the
site of the Roman capitol. The cas-
tie is memento Of the days of Vene-
tian prowess.
It's settlement is attributed to the Col
chians who pursued Jason and his
argonauts. Pola's splendid harbor be-
came Roman possession in lis b. c.,
but julius Caesar destroyed ii for hav-
ing espoused the cause of Pompey.
Some years later il was rebuilt by the
Emperor Augustus at the instance, ac-
cording to Pliny, OF his beloved daugh-
ter Julia.
The most impressive ruin in Pola
is the vast amphitheater, erected at
the beginning of the Christian era In
honor of the emperors, Septimius
SeNeTuS anu 1uIuNhlius iHlS 10 bt-
lieved TO be the only Roman amphi-
theater whose outer walls have with
stood the ravages of time and of man.
The interior, however, is badly dis
mantled and the foundation walls at
one end, centuries ago, were extensive
ly quarried by the Venetians who de-
sired the white Istrian limestone for
the erection of their own palaces.
About the middle of the 18th CEN
tury Pola became n Venetian city. In
the destructive wars, which resulted
from the rivalry between Venice and
Genoa to control the commerce of the
world two centuries later, this port
across the Adriatic from its parent re-
public suffered often and grievously.
1t was completely destroyed I'm 1879,
and for nearly four and half CEN
turtles IL lay dormant. II passed to
Austria at the end Of the Napoleonic
wars, however, and Its modern growth
dates from 1S4S, when II was selected
as an Austrian naval base.
Pola lies almost due east of Venice,
a distance Of 75 miles across the
Adriatic.
