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 "capitale morale"-of the
country.
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to have been
seized by workmen in practically all
parts Of Italy; but 1t 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
tries-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 Italys 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
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
In the dim historic days Of 222 B. O.,
when 1t was captured by the Romans.
1t was then, as 1t is today. second
city in point of population in Italy.
Milan early earned a 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 at other
times by allen conquerors. After each
destruction It has sprung up on SEEM
lngly firmer foundation to achieve
greater popularity and more far
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index to in
dustrial unrest, 1t 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 Italy's mod
ern life and activity-"flrst 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.
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 at map of the Adriatic
will show that the possession OF Pola.
and the recent acquisition of the island
of Cherso, 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, Pola's sole i'm
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provi-
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
turies before under the rule of Roman
empe.ors. 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 the
Porto Mlltare, with the extensive ma
rine arsenal on the southeastern shore.
The city itself clusters around
castle-crowned hill which was once the
site of the Roman capitol. The cas-
tie is n memento of the days of Vene-
tian prowess.
Its settlement is attributed to the Col
chians who pursued Jason and his
argonauts. Pola's splendid harbor be-
came a Roman possession In l1S Is. C
but Julius Caesar destroyed 1t for nav
ing espoused the cause of Pompey.
Some years later it 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
Severus and Caracalla. This Is be-
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
Iy 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 a 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 In 1879,
and for nearly four and a half CEN
turtles 1t lay dormant. 1t passed to
Austria at the end of the Napoleonic
wars, however, and Its modern growth
dates from 1S4S, when 1t was selected
as an Austrian naval base.
Pola lies almost due east of Venice
a distance of 75 miles across the
Adriatic.

TIENTSIN, PANORAMA
CITY

Tientsin, in the northeastern edge
of the terrible Chinese famine area.
in which millions of people are starv-
ing to death, is like necklace of
towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin is to travel.
An afternoons stroll from the native
to the British, French, italian, Russian
and other foreign quarters, gives the
sensation of a magic tour through
Picking, London, Paris, Rome and
Petrograd. And the windmills among
the salt mounds just outside the city
add q touch of Holland
This panorama city has had a tenn
pestuous history. There a group of
American and other foreign residents
Herbert @. Hoover among them
defended themselves for a month
against the fanatic Boxers In 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as ChengH, or "Town without
Walls" because the ancient barriers
we're demolished during the siege. OF
the 500 doughty foreigners more than.
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene of another
famous siege, that of the TAPPING
rebels in 1853. Followers Of Hung
Sin Tsuan, who had professed Chris
tianity and set himself up In Nanking
as the Heavenly King" marched to-
ward Peking. But the Waterloo of the
"long haired rebels" so-called because
they could not plait their queues and
thus signify loyalty to the Manchus,
came at Tientsin.
The success of the campaign against
the revolutionists was due principally
to the gallant "Chinese Gordon" Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his Ever
Victorious Army"
Commanding the native force at
Tientsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, a Mongol
general, who later distinguished him
belf less creditably. In 1860 he sought
to defend Tientsin against foreign
expedition by erecting an immense
mud rampant outside the city. Tien-
tsin was captured and held for two
years by the British and French. and
the crude defense is known In the
foreign quarters as "Seng- g-ko-lin-sin's
folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chou under the Hsia
dynasty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago,
already had court astronomers who
could predict eclipses. Later 1t was
salled Ya-chou, in the Chou dynasty.

triangle of trade routes, with Its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this Isolated Pacific trl-
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer. voyage of more than
1900 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
goon setting encased by n strangely
shaped circlet of coral, ZONE like tri-
angles, harps and stlrrups, and one
outlining a 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 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
boldness and adventure which made
them the hardest of the Microneasian
peoples. Many OF the young died OF
tuberculosis.
Sklllful and fearless navigators, the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
sailing canoes in which they would
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 OF in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed.
and thus certain species became ta-
boo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentious. Floors were raised above
the ground TO escape the rats, and
thatched roofs covered the combtna-
ton house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is not more than 16O
square miles; their native population
before the war was 1900, with fewer
than 300 foreigners. The seat of Ger
man government was on Jalult and the
most populous island is Majeru, with
but 1000 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex-
plored them In 17SS. The Germans
annexed the islands in 1856
