THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEHKLT TRIBUNE.
CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE
Milan, clitef city of Uio Lomlmnly
I'leduiont region of Itnly, wlicro work
ers fcflzcd factories uevcrnl months
ago, nnd where mnch unrest Iiuh been
manifested since, has fninkly consid
ered Itself for long years the virtual
capital tho "capltnlo morale" of the
country.
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to havo been
seized by workmen In practically all
parts of Italy; but It was In Lonibanly
nud Piedmont, tho territorial division
Jylni; 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
nud about Turin, the principal city of
tho Piedmont, and the Detroit of Italy;
nud In Milan, metropolis of the north,
and Italy's Kail Itlver, Philadelphia
and Schenectady rollwl Into one.
Lomburcly ahd the Piedmont com
prise tho plains of the upper reaches
of the (;reat Po valley, tho Alpine foot
hills, ami tho southern and eastern
xlopes of a lart;e part of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on a fertile plain near
tho southern ends o somo of the most
Important of the Alpine passes, was a
town of considerable lmiortnnce even
In tho dim historic days of 222 II. C,
when It was captured by the Itomans.
It was then, ns It Is today, second
city In iK)lnt of population In Itnly. .
Mllnn early earned a irosltlon of lead
ership umonff surrounding cities, a
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. Tho city has been de
stroyed many times, once by u league
of neighboring towns, nnd at otJier
times by alien conquerors. After each
destruction It has sprung up on a seem
ingly (Inner foundation to achieve
greuter popularity und n more far
reaching Influence.
Apart from any reputntlon Milan
may have gained as nn Index to In
dustrial unrest, It Is a lender among
Italian cities In other respects. In
deed, the Milanese Insist that their
city, their "capltalo morale," "is tho
vory heart and head of Italy's mod
ern Ilfo and activity "first In Indus
try, first In municipal progress, first
In political Imjwrtonce."
The Industrial plants of modern
Milan havo fairly burst the confines
of the old city nnd many are to bo
found In numerous populous suburbs
that have sprung up, espcclnlly since
3895. The population now numbers
close to three-quarters of a million.
It Is exceeded only slightly, If nt all,
by that of Naples, and Is considered
In excess of that of Home.
TIENTSIN, PANORAMA
CITY
Tientsin, In the northeastern edgo
of tho terrible Chlneso famine aren,
In which millions of peoplu are starv
ing io death, Is like a necklaco of
towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin Is to trnvel.
An afternoon's stroll from the native
to tho Ilrltlsh, French, Italian, Russian
nnd other foreign quarters, gives tho
Bonsatlon of u magic tour through
Poking. London, Pnris, Home and
Potrogrud. And tho windmills among
tho salt mounds Just outside tho city
add a touch of Holland.
This panorama city has had a tem
pestuous history. There a group of
American and other foreign residents
Ilorhort 0. Hoover among them
defended themselves for a month
against the fanatic Soxcrs In 1000.
Blnco then tho nntlvo city has been
known as Cheng-ll, or "Town without
Walls," localise tho ancient bnrrlers
wore demolished during the siege. Of
tho BOO doughty foreigners more than
fifty wero killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the sccno of another
fatuous siege, that of tho Tulplng
robeU In 1853. Followers of Hung
Bin Tsunn, who had professed Chris
tianity and sot himself up In Nunklng
as tho "Heavenly King," marched to
ward Peking. Hut tho Wntcrloo of tho
"long haired rebols." so-called
tnoy could not plait their queues and
inua sigiiiry loyalty to tho Mnnclius
caroo at Tientsin.
TllO success of tho cnmimten mmlnnt
tho revolutionists was duo principally
to tlio gallant "Chlneso Gordon," Gen
Charlos Gcergo Gordon, and his" "Ever
Victorious Army."
Commanding tho native forco nt
Tientsin was tiong-ko-lln-sln, n Mongol
jfonerol. who later dlstlnimlshm! htm.
self less creditably. In 1800 he nought
to aerenu Tientsin against n foreign
expedition by erecting an Immense
muu rnmpurt outsmo tno city. Tien
tsln was captured and hold for twi
j'oars by tho British and French, and
tho crude defense 1b known In thn
forolgn qunrturs ns "Scng-ko-lln-sln's
rouy."
tho region niiout Tientsin was
known as Chl-chou under tho Hsln
dynuBty, whoso rulers, 4,000 years itgo
Already had court astronoinerx win
could predict eclipses. Later It was
callod Yrpchou, In tho Chou dynasty,
twirked by the western wars waged
by Mu-Wang against the "Dog liar
barlans," .thought to hnvo boon ances
tors of tho Huns. Tientsin dates
back at least to tho fourteenth cen-.
tury.
Tho salt Industry In tho neighbor
hood of Tientsin Is prodigious. Wind-,
mills nro used to pump salt wntcr Into
tlrb fields along the Hnlio river, whero
the widely known Chnng-lu snlt Is
mnde. IJeforo tho war nearly 20,000
tons were produced nnnunlly. Hut
Tientsin Is Important commercially In
ninny respects. It Is a rice mnrket,
nnd Siberia's tea formerly was
shipped through there. Kxports were
as varied as tho needs of the dozen
or so nntlons which had separate set
tlements along flvo miles of tho river
front, nnd lift Imports wero ns dlverso
as tho commodities those nntlons hnd
to exchange.
The Pelho nnd Hunho rivers con
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the Yangtsze-ICInng extends tho
Grand canal, that remarkable speci
men of ancient engineering, mentioned
by Confucius, which orglnnlly was
more than 1,000 miles long.
Tientsin hns more people than Uos-,
Ion. It Is the principal city of Chili
II, and Is 60 miles southeast of Peking
by mil.
ONE OF GERMANY'S LOST
TERRITORIES
The former German Sunionn Is
lands constitute one of the Important
groups of Pacific Islands thnt hnvo
fallen to the lot of Great llrltaln,
through New Zenland, us a result of
the World war.
The Snmonti group, called by form
er geographers "The Navigators
Islands," from the skill hi navigation
shown by its Inhabitants, consists of
four prlnclpnl bits of land lying In
tho South Pnclflc, nearly mldwny be
tween New Zealand and Hawaii.
The number of Islands In tho group
may, by counting the smaller, be in
creased to 11, or even 14, hut only
Suvil, Upolu, Tutulla, (owned by tho
United States) and the three usunlly
Included under tho general term
Manila, are Important.
All nro vcrdurc-clad and Inhabited,
and In appearance und shape resem
ble Immense green lints, tho Interior
representing tho crown being moun
tnlnous, wlille the brim or shore Is
covered with coconut palms, bread
fruit, banana and other tropical trees,
which furnish the nntlvo food. .
At somo prehistoric period tho
peaks of a submerged mountain chain
running northeast and Bouthwest havo
been lifted from tho depths of tho
ocean by tho upheaval of volcanoes
now long oxtlnct. Accumulations of
soil brought by heavy rains from tho
mountains meet tho ever-growing reef,
which prevents easy approach to tho
land except In those places where
fresh-water streams, forcing their wny
through, form openings In tho coral
barrier.
Iletwcen reef and shoro a lagoon,
vnrylng In width from 200 yards to
two or threo miles, provides a secure
highway for coast and lnter-lsland
trnlllc. Tho entire length of the group,
If Itosc Island ho Included, Is little
less than !t00 miles, nnd the gross area
of the Islands Is larger than the stnto
of llhode Island by 50 squnro miles.
The native Inhabitants of tho
Islands are of Polynesian stock nnd
nro clearly related to tho natives of
both Hawaii and New Zealand. For
practical purposes these natives may
bo divided Into four classes. At tho
head stand tho chiefs, who arc heredi
tary In the senso thnt they must be
long io certain families, but elective
In that they excrclso authority by
vlrtuo of titles conferred on them.
The Tulnfole, talklng-man, Is their
executive olllcor, who phrases their
thoughts In eloquent language, and Is
frequently tho central Hgxiro In tho
district und tho source of authority.
Ilclow him nnd above tho lowest class,
composed of what are known as tho
"common people," aro tho natlvo
teachers and catechlsta, who -wear
more clothes nnd do less fighting than
the rest of tho population.
Thero 1b nothing In tlio dress or"
bearing of a high chief which cnnbles
a foreigner to distinguish him, but he
Is Isolnted from the rest of tho people
by a system of rigid utlquetto. No one
may hold up an umbrella or do cer
tain kinds of work In his presence,
and a special vocabulary Is set apart
In which to nddress him. Tho com
mon names for food, an axe, n pig,
etc., nro tabooed In his presence. His
face, his anger nnd other attributes
nre described In nn entirely different
set of words from those used for
ordlnnry men.
The powors nnd duties of tho "talk
ing men" aro considerable. Thoy aro
men of much dignity of carriage, and,
as they stand leaning upon a staff
of ofllco with a "fue," or Hy-tlnp enst
over one shoulder, with which occa
sionally to emphasize their remarks,
they compare favorably In nppcuranco
with the orators of a nation more
civilized than themselves.
MARSHALL ISLANDS: NEW
JAPANESE TERRITORY
The Marshall Islands, ono of tho
Pnclllc archipelagoes formerly owned
by Germany, and over which Jnpnn
has been ' given a mnndnto by tho
League of Nations, practically form a
burrler between the Hawaiian Islands,
on tho enst, and Guam and tho Philip
pines to tho west.
Tho two chains of curiously shaped
atolls, or coral Islands consisting of
'low-lying coral reefs encircling la
goons, known us the Marshall group,
lie a llttlo south of the center nf nn
Imaginary lino connecting Hawaii,
uuam ami uio riniippiiws.
Guam, Samoa and Honolulu form u
triangle of trade routes, with Its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this Isolated Pacific trl
anglo nre tho Marshall Islands.
Ilefore'the war Sydney wns reached
by steamer, a voyage of more thnn
3,000 miles. The only other method of
egress was a steamer to Ponnpo
which connected with a French tine
to Slngnpore.
Llko two loosely strung chains of
Jewels, tho Islands stretch from north
west to southeast, each with Its la
goon setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri
angles, harps and stirrups, and ono
outlining a bull's head with Its horns.
Straight haired, dark brown natives,
still preserving the religious slgnlfi
calico of tattoo und tnboo, are to bo
found. Once a sturdy, reliant, sea
faring people, for they wero tho best
mariners In the Pacific, the white
man's coming, ns in the case of lil
advent nmong the Eskimo nud tho
Indian, did not seem wholly beuellclnl.
In teaching them ways to live moro
easily civilization robbed them of thnt
boldness nnd adventure wnich made
them the hardiest of tho Mlcroncnsian
peoples. Many of the young died of
tuberculosis.
Skillful nud fearless navigators, tho
natives used bread-tree wood to mako
sailing ennoes In which they would
voynge for months. They devised
chnrts, made of sticks, showing tho
locations of islands nnd the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi
nant religious sentiment. With peti
tions nnd gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits wero' supposed
to return to earth In certain palm
trees which they set off In stone en
closures. Birds nnd fishes sometimes
embodied theso spirits, they believed,
and thus certain speu'es became rn
boo. Homes of the nntlves wero not pre
tentious. Floors wero raised abovo
tho ground to escape tho rats, and
thatched roofs covered tho combina
tion house and st6rage room.
The two Island groups are known as
the Itatak and Itullk chains. Their
cntlro nrea Is not moro thnn ICO
squnre miles; their native population
before the wnr was 10,000, with fewer
than 300 foreigners. The scat of Ger
man government wns on Jnlult and tho
most populous Island Is Majeru, with
but 1,000 persons.
Other explorers had touched at tho
Islands but they, with tho Gilbert
group, took tholr nnmcs from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex
plored them In 1788. Tho Germans
annexed tho Islands In 18S0.
FORMER AUSTRIAN NAVAL
BASE NOW ITALIAN
STRONGHOLD.
Pola, formerly Important to Austria
as its naval base, now Is equally lim
portant to Italy, for a different rcai
son. A glnnco nt a map. of tho Adriatic
will show that the possession of Pola,
und tho recent acquisition of tho Island
of Chorso, by tho terms of tho Itupnllo
agreement, give Italy control of tho
water route to Flume.
Sltunted near the extremity of tho
Istrlnn peninsula, 85 miles by rail
southwest of Trieste, Pola's sole Im
portant activity before the wnr was
connected with the repairing, provi
sioning and harboring of the Austrian
naval forces. Tho town Is virtually
without Industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1000 tho population of Pola was
about what It had been eighteen cen
turies before under tho rule of Itoman
emperors. During tho succeeding ten
years, however, It grow from 45,000 to
70,000.
The practically land-locked harbor
Is divided, tho upper or northern half
being tho commercial roadstead, and
the lower half (below the chain brldgo
which connects Scogllo Ollvl, or OUvo
Island, with tho mainland) being tho
Porto Mllltnre, with tho extensive inn
rino arsenal on the southeastern shore.
Tho city Itself clusters around a
castle-crowned hill which was once tho
slte of The Ilothuh cnpltoi. Tho cas
tTo Is tt memento of the dnys of Vene
tian prowess.
Its settlement Is attributed to the Col
chlans who .pursued Jason nnd his
ai'gonnuts. Pola's splendid harbor be
came a llomnn possession In 178 IJ. C.
but Julius Cnesnr destroyed It for hnv
Ing espoused the cnuso of Porupey.
Some years later It was rebuilt by tho
Emperor Augustus nt tho Instnnce, no
cordlng to Pliny, of his beloved daugh
ter Julia.
Tho most Impresslvo ruin In Pola
Is tho vast amphltheator, erected at
the beginning of tho Christian era In
honor of tlio cmporors, Scptlmlus
Soverus nnd Caracalla, This Is be
lieved to bo tho only Roman amphi
theater whoso outer walls' havo with
stood the ravages of time and of man.
Tho Intorlor, howover, Is badly dis
mantled and tho foundation walls at
ono end, centuries ago, wero extensive
ly quoxrled by tho Venottnns who de
sired tho white Istrlnn Umcstono for
tho erection of their own palaces.
About the middle of tho 12th cen
tury Polu became a Venetian city. In
tho destructive wars, which resulted
from tho rivalry between Venice und
Genoa to control tho commerce of tho
world two centuries Inter, this port
across tho Adriatic from Its parent re
public suffered often nnd grievously.
It wns completely destroyed In 1870,
and for nearly four and n halt cen
turies It lay dormnnt. It passed to
Austria at tho end of tho Napoleonic
wars, however, and Its modem growth
dates from 1S48. when It wns selected
as an Austrian naval huso.
Pola lies almost duo cast of Venice,
a distance of 75 miles across thq
Adriatic.
