Naples, Italy.â€" Benito Mussolini, Ttalian Prime Minister, made a fur- ther bid for tho title of modem miracle man when work began under the direction of Fascist engineers on an arcKieclogical project heretofore considered impossible â€" diKPrin^ out the'aneient city of Herculaneum from under 100 feet of volcanic tufa and encrusted 'lava. Herculaneum was overwhelmed in 79 A.D. by the same burst of Vesuvian eruption which de- stroyed it.s sister city, Pompeii. King Victor Emmanuel inaugurat- ed the excavations which are uni- versally ad'judged by archaeolof^sts as one of the most ambitious under- taitings in history. Numerous efforts over a period of more than two centuries to probe deeply into the .secrets of the city, which tradition says was founded by the Greek hero after whom it was named, met with such scanty success that the project appeared hopeless until Fascism'.^ Duce began to study ways and means. Two Big Problems. Tho ta.sk presents two colossal problems. Unlike Pompeii, which was buried only under ashes, Herculan- eum wa^ inundated by lava and mud. During the Middle Ages additional coatings of ashes were deposited by subsequent eruptions of Vesuvius. This material coming into contact with subsoil water, rich in calcium, hardened into a rocky mass, forming an encrustation, varying in thickness from 50 to 160 feet. The second problem is caused by the foundation on top of the lava of the flourishing towns of Resina and Portici. Undaunted by these ob- stacles excavators have always been eager to probe tho old" city, which before its fall to the Roman power in 89 B.C., lived successfully under Oscan, Etruscan, Samnite and Greek dominion. Having been, under the Romans, n summer i-esort for the wealthy gentry, instead of a commercial to^vn like Pompeii, it has been believed to be far richer than its neighbor in artistic and intcllcctifal treasures, particular- ly of the Greek and pre-Roman per- iods, gathered in collection by the Roman Mjecenas.

FRANK WOLFE, 70 HILTON AVE., TORONTO Ellis f2fesril^( ZOO MEDALLISTS The Bronze Medal of the Zoological Socl'ety has Just been awarded for the first time since 1872. Its proud recipient Is Keeper A. Bdwman, who has just been thus, rewarded for his succeee in rearing "Jimmy," the baby hippo. HIppo« are rather difficult to "bring up" succeeefally, and^it wa? also for rearing one of these delicate youngsters that the 1872 award was made. That baby wa« the famous Guy Fawkes. ies, Herculaneum has been attacked seven times by excavators since 1706, when the Frenchman, I*rince Elboeuf, began work. Although these efforts were soon baffled by unsurmountable difficulties, they brought to view some of the finest Greek and Roman works of art, notably bronzes, justifying the theory that Herculaneum was richer than Pompeii. Signer Mussolini's decision was not taken until his erclueological advisers confirmed bis belief by covering a zone about 200 by 300 yards between Resina and the GuM ef Nriritss, where it was not necessary to disturb the In- habitants of Resina. For the present the work will be confined to this re- grion, but later the underground pass- ages will be built under Resina and Portici, creating a subterranean city at an average depth of 100 feet. King Victor Enmianuel, who arriv- ed here in the morning, was acclaimed by cheering crowds of several hun- dred thousands. BABY'S OWN TABLETS HELP A PRIZE WINNER Baby's Own Tablets are without an equal for little ones. From the new- born babe to the growing child they are an absolute safeguard to health. Once a mother has used them she will use nothing else. Thousands of moth- ers always keep them on hand. Among the mothers who state that Baby's Own Tablets axe the best medi- cine for little ones that they know of Is Mrs. Russell Hill, of Norwood, Ont. Her experience with the Tablets S'hould be of great benefit to any mother who has not already given the Tablets a trial. Mrs. Hill says:â€" "I have five fine healthy oliildren, and from the youngest to the oldest they get no other medicine but Baby's Own Tab- lets. When our baby girl was eleven months old she won second prize at the Norwood F^Ir, and when she was a year older she won first prize In com- petition with twenty-eight other babies. It was the Tablets that gave her the health and development to carry oft these prizes. I always delight in telling other mothers what the Tab- lets have done for my children." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers, or by mail at 26 cents a box from The Dr. WiUlama' Merlctne Co., Brockville. Ont. FRANCE AND ITALY. One Raifaroed ia Straight aa Ruler. straight as a ruler is no Inaccurate simile when applied to a certain rail- road In Russia, for It Is that and the stralghtest in the world. When engi- neers bad studied plans for 'the line from Leningrad (then St Petersburg) to Moscow, Biketches were laid before Emperor Nicholas 1 and he was asked to which towns he gave preference for the passage of the raUroad. For reply he 'dipped one of bis fingers into the inkstand and wltli a niler as a guide drew on a map of Russia an undevlat- Ing line between the terminal cities. Engineers' and ministers all exclaimed the ttilng was Imposnible. Nicholas smiled disdainfullyâ€" with him the pas- sion for governing had grown Into a disease. Tho line was built where he wanted It. Through forests, beneath hills and mountains, the ral>le were pushed under the impetus of bl» wil- ful monomania. And because Nicho' las reoogttlzed no surveyor's transit but his own way. Important cities like Twer and Novgorod were left far off the route and denie^ a modern trans- portation they could have had at far lese cost to Russia's treasury. Situation May be More Serious Than We Suppose. Mutual reeentmeDt and distrust be- tween France and Italy are said to be too deep-rooted to be removed by any superficial treatment. What is more, some pessimistic British observers think possibly deveU>pment8 between the two countries are much more seri- ous than is generally supposed. .Thus in the London "Outlook" Ma). E. W. Poison Newman calls attention to the fact that althotigh the Foreign Office of France and the Foreign Office of Italy to all outward appearance make Uttle of such differenoee as exist, the truth of tlie matter Is that the bad feeling between the two Latin nations Is the resuU of natural racial de<velop- ment and o fa long series of historical events, which together have produced an Impasse calling for the closest at- tention of all who have at heart the future peace of Europe. Major New- man goes on to say: "If one could attribute the present delicate position to the action of either or both Governments, the matter would not be quite so serious, but In my opinion the grave aspect of It lies in the fact that its development is tak- ing place in sipite of governments and not because of them. There are few men In Europe to-day more tied to the interests of peace than Dr. Brland, add at the presieat stage of Italy's develop- ment It is clearly In the Interests of Mr. Mussolini to pursue a pacific policy. Yet the attitude of the two peoples Is very different from that protest by their respective Ministers of FV>relgn Affairs. '"Hie causes of friction may be class- ed under iwo headings: those which have a pre-war origin and those which are of more recent date. In a study of the present phase of the situation it is as well to cooceutrate on the fol- lowing considerations: "1. The unsettled status of Italian residents In Tunis. "2. Tho general feeling In Italy that France stands in the wray of Italian ex- pansion. "3. The growth of the French Navy. "4. The anti-B^wtcist activities on French soU, "5. The feeling In certain circles li) Rome that France in some fraiy stands behind JugoalATla in her antagonism to Italian expansion in the Adriatic, and also the feeling tn France that the Italo-Gennan rapprochement might be intended as a rejoinder." A superficial ftttitude of condl^tlon toward Italy combined with a marked feetlng of intolerance toward tJie Fascist regime are points of danger in France's officia) attitude, according to Major Newman, who ansnree u«, at the same time, that the French Foreign Office sincerely desires peace.

Wickham Steed in the London Re- view of Reviews: It Is of the utmost importance that British foreign poUcy should be so clear as to be above sus- picion. British influence in the world la moral rather than material, and those who seek to undermine It at- tempt persistently to cast doubt upon the purity of British motives. . . .
