begins a bulletin Issued by the Na

what life has been in Austria's Istrian
territory, which the Italians are now
attempting to invade. The statement
continues:
"Istria the wedge-shaped peninsula
at the head of the Adriatic and the
surrounding territory back of Trieste,
not of great importance commercially
or industrially and with few connec

Venice had established privileged con

WITH THE COMING OF DAWN
Is Not as Beautiful In the City aa In
the Country, But It cringe
Another Day.
Dawn comes softly and pleasantly
over thr country fields, and If it loses
something of Its chsrm, tnrougn ib
miliaritv. It is most friendly and per
haps most appreciated there. In the
hills the dawn comes gayly, stopping
behind each peak to make itseu more
beautiful, scattering color everywhere
and playing with its own reflection in
the deep waters of the lakes.
Tn thn Hrv afreets the dawn comes
swiftly and bravely perhaps because
the night Is ugly there and so Deter
mined to Rtav. Dawn in the city streets
is not so pleasant as dawn in the coun
try fields, and it is not so young as
dawn in the hills. It is finer and
stronger. It is awesome, 1ut It is reas
suring, too.
Perhaps it is only the uninitiated
who feel the terror and the fascination
of the city streets at night Perhaps
the initiated know that the fascina
tion is not true and the terror not real.
Perhaps they are more fascinated and
more afraid than anybody. The unini
tiated do not understand.
They wonder why there are so many
people in the streets; why that old
man stands alone on the corner;
where that woman and the two chil
dren are going; where all the automo
biles come from; why, with so many
people and machines in tne street, la it
all bo strangely silent?
It is the hour before dawn, and
everywhere the earth lies quiet The
night street is silent as though
ashamed before the day. The young
men loanng on tne corner nusn ineir
nrofane Quarrels, and the two women
on the curb speak in whispers. The
uninitiated wonder aDout tnose wom
en one slight and dark and well
dressed, sitting on a pile of newspa
pers; the other large and oionoe, wim
bare head and coat thrown about her
shoulders, sitting on the curb below.
It is no longer dark. Neltner is it
light The night still hides between
the high, empty buildings. A pigeon
croons wistfully above the street its
voice rising to a fuller note as it reels
the breath of the dawn. Strangely
enough other bird voices break the si
lence. The wearv men and women on
the sidewalks are stirred by the same
songs of welcome that are sung in tne
fields and the hills. The birds are al
ways ready for the dawn. And it comes
swiftly and bravely Into the city
streets.
The firnt . rava reach the ' tallest
buildings and the night scurries up the
alleys and down into Basements, ine
owl car blinks Its one eye-sleepily and
rattles away. It is not a beautiful
dawn. The faint flush on the patches
of the sky is all that is left of the color
it threw away in the hills. It looks
upon too many ugly things to be gay.
Pernapa It brings too mucn worn ana
worry with H to be pleasant Never
theless it makes the birds sing and it
brings another day. Indianapolis
