CENTEROFITALY'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 "capitate morale"-of the
country. $ S.
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to have been
seized by workmen in practically all
parts Of Italy; but it 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
tnes-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 |;
ana IN Milan, metropolis of the north,
and 1taly'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
nils, and ). the southern and eastern
slopes of large part of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on a fertile plain near
the southern ends of some Of the most
important of the Alpine passes, was a
town Of considerable Importance even
Ill the dim historic days of 222 B. c.,
When 1t was captured by the Romans.
II was then, as 1t is today, second
city I'm point of population in Italy.
Milan early earned a position of lead
ership among surrounding cities, a
leadership, however, which did not go
uAchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by a league
OF neighbOring towns, aud ut other
times by alien conquerors. After each
destruction it has sprung up on a SEEM
ingly tirmer foundation to achieve
greater popularity and more far
reaching influence.
4 Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index to in.
dustrial unrest, it Is a 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 Itgly's mod
ern life and activity-"tirst in 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
1895: The population now numbers
close to three-quarters Of million.

by that of Naples, and is considered
IN excess of that of Rome.

Tientsin was the scene Of another

as Its naval base, now is equally i'm
portant to Italy, for a different rea-
son. A glance at map of the AdrIatic
will show that the possession of Poln.
and the recent acquisition Of the island
of Cherso, by the terms Of the Rapall0
agreement, give Italy control Of the
water route to Fiume.
Situated near the extremity of the
1strian peninsula, IS miles by rail
southwest Of Trieste, Pola's sole Inn
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provl-
sioning and harboring Of the Austrian
naval forces. The town is virtually
without Industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1900 the population of Pola was
about what 1t had been eighteen CEN
turtles before under the rule Of Roman
empesors. 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
the lower half (below the chain bridge
which connects Scoglio Olivi, or Olive
island, with the mainland) being tho
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. ,s
Its settlement is attributed to the Col.
chians who pursued Jason and his
argonauts. Pola's splendid harbor be-
came Roman possession in 178 B. c.,
but Julius Caesar destroyed 1t for hav-
ing espoused the cause of Pompey.
Some years later 1t 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 tile emperors, Septimius
Severus and Caracalla. This is be-

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
" 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
fury Pola became 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.
II was completely destroyed in 1879,
and for nearly four and half cen.
turtles II, lay dormant. It passed to
Austria at the end Of the Napoleonic
kars, however, and its modern growth
dates from 1s4s, when 1t was selected
as an Austrian naval base.

SMALL BOY KILLED BY MINISTER'S CAR.
 HELD UNAVOIDABLE

Troyp, November 12.-(Special.)-- An S-year-old boy named Rugg, re- siding a little over six miles below Troy on the Elba road, was instantly killed late Saturday afternoon when struck by the car of Rev. MT. Hall Baptlts minister of Elba who was en route home. The minister was en- deavoring to pass some wagons, which were on the right side of the road, and as he turned his car to the left opass the bittle boy stepped from behind wagon to pick up a sling shot rubber which had bounced off the slingshot stock and into the roadway. The accident was unavoidable. The little boys skull was fractured and he lived but a few minutes. The min ister immediately stopped and rem dered all aid possible, calling doctors from Troy, but the physicians were unable to be of service when they arrived. The accident occurred in front of the Fielder Johnston brace. about two miles from the spot where there had been an auto-wagon crash the night previous.

FRANCE UNABLE ID COMPENSATE
 LATE SOLDIERS
Country Drawing Heavily Upon Future, avs French Consul General Now
 In Washington

 R00 DavidsOn RuiIdiu

Washington, November 12-tSpe- cial. .)-"America is extremely fortu- nate In being able to care for her dis able soldiers as she Is doing, and it is my regret that France is not able to do as much for her men," said H. Pom sot, consul general of the French foreign office, who is In Washington with the French delegation to the dis armament conference. when he viewed the steps that are being taken toward the rehabilitation of the ex-service men in thls country.
 M. Ponsot said that the reconstruc- tion problem In F-rance Is so much more acute than it Is here that com parison could not be drawn. The en- tire nation, he said. suffered to such an extentthat 1t is not a matter of the state trying to compensate tAa soldiers and their families, but of all trying to make the best of their losses. He said it would probably ba 10 years before the devastated areas were restored and that to accomplish this work the country was drawing heavily upon its future. Those who are not able to live by their own in. uuStry are buppollcu pS thSii ioc"' communities, and not by the state, he said.
 He spoke enthusiastically of ths plan of Col Charles R. Forbes. direc- tor of the United tSates eVterans bureau. for the training of disabled men In the trades and crafts in cen tralized schools conducted by the gov ernment, where they would have in dividual rooms. properly supervised mess halls and adequate medical at tention. In spite of her heavy bur den, France Is conducting schools along the same lines in order to adapt the disabled men to fitting occupa- tions. he said. M. Ponsot was also very much interested in the govern ment insurance system for ex-service men. and the methods of compensate Ing the dependents of disabled men.

 In Steel Market,

New York, November 12.-The vol ume of new business in steel Is small and the activity experienced last month has not been maintain ed. The lack of accumulated stocks make firm statistical position. The un- dertone is about steady. although in some cases there has been dispo- sition to shade values to secure or ders. A better inquiry for railroad equipment, including large rail ton- mage and new cars. Is a very hopeful factor. The demand for pig iron has fallen off considerably from last month and buyers are indifferent, prices are irregular being steadily held in some localities while easier in. others.
 The improvement reported in cop per has been maintained by con tinued fair demand for both export and domestic consumption. It is le- ported that some busness might be done for shipment to England on the basis of 12%c for electrolytic, but no copper is offering at that price, and the sales have been chiefly to fer many.

Wall Street Shifted
 to Broader Fields
 During Weeks Trade
By Associated Press

New York, November 12.-Wlth trading on the stock exchange re- duced to little more than three full sessions because of the two holidays, interest this week shifted to the broader fields of finance. commerce and industry.
 The inquiry for high securities which attended the recent fall in money rates lost much of its impetus, but the speedy sale of many new un- derwritings offered cumulative signs of a sound investment demand.
 Eliminating the oils and equip ments which dWarfted all other is- sues in strength and speculative im- rortance, the stock market presented few features of interest. Rails were irregular at best. becoming heavy in spots when it developed that the lead ing eastern and western railways had joined forces to cut wages.
 The recovery in the price of oils and by-products was the most construc tive feature of the week. Domestic shares probably owed their strengtih in large part in recurrent rumors of salt waters in the Mexican fields and general dissatisfaction with condi- tions across the Rio Grande.
 In the industrial situation the most significant event, was the large de- crease in bookings reported by the United States Steel corporation for October. This was the more disap- pointing because the previous months slight gain In tonnage the first in more than year. had encouraged hopes of turn for the better.
 The disarmament conference w;N the subject of discusison in nigh financial quarters because of the con- viction it will bear, indirectly, at least, on the large foreign debts to this country. Announcement that the British government has arranged to make monthly interest payments of her obligations gave rise to intima- tions that France and some of the other allied nations may soon make known their attitude in this same connection.
 It is pointed out by international bankers, however, that the ability of the continental countries to meet their payments to the United tSates rests largely on the outcoms of af fairs in Germany. Further decline of the mark to level bespeaking eco homie paralysis. was viewed with greater apprehension. especially in London and Paris.
