AGO TODAY

October "a, 1915-Austrian airplanes
made two separate attacks on Venice,
and Italy suffered the first serious
loss of art-treasures which she had ex-
perienced in the war.
One of the bombs fell upon the roof

smashed ceiling ornamented with
frescoes by Toepoln. Another hit the
Palace of the Doges. Other build
inPs likewise suffered.
There was loss of life, too, but Ven

frsecoed ceiling by Tiepolo, last great
master Of the Venetian school, could

Venice. rs art treasures were the
glory of all mankind, not cimply an
enemy possession the destruction of

JUNIORS

Our subjects as a whole have given
us very little trouble. In taking up
the rules &C punctuation, we we're re-
ally surprised to find how little we
knew. We are proud of the fact
that French gives us very little trou-
BILE and all the time we are learning
grammar along with it. Geometry
was just simply made to be hard in
stead of easy and we are finding that
it is going to be right hard for some
of us to get. In our History of the

ing teacher we are made to learn and
like it.

The new sign comes in strong to-

nature. Today's native has but little
control over his passions and there is
indicated a danger of trouble from

physical violence is indicated and
great care should be taken to curb
the propensity to giving way to the

 Baker deplored those who stress ed shortcomings and alleged dan- gers of the League and Court de- claring that they were compara- lively new agencies and that there was ample room" for adjustments that would make them satisfactory to this country.
 We should cooperate actively and in every way we can with Europe for peace." Baker said, mot as grandiose gesture, a big brother pose, but because 1t Is the best way to safeguard peace for ourseivesI The nations of the world are too interreiated nowadays for us to remain aEoof."
