Soldiers Marching and Camping i Among Monuments of Past Troops | (Correspondence of the Assoclated Frews.s Rome, Dec. 3.—There are. strange and suggestive contrasts here in the Titernal City during these war days, with the soldiers of today marching end camping among the monuments and ruins of the soldiers of the past. Today a regiment of Italian infantry came from the Appian Way, passed the Palestine hil] with the gaunt and cavernous ruins of the palaces of the Caesars, then swung in' a long circle around the Arch of Constantone, passed the Coliseum and the Forum, and then moyed on along the Tiber to ihe crumbling ruin of that bridge where Horatius held back the Tar- quin army. These modern soldiers marched smartly, and paid no attention to the venerable monuments of military glory all around them. It was mere-’| ly one of many detachments moving from the suburbs to the barracks mear the Janiculum. They were sturdy young peasant soldiers, with durk faces and eyes. Their uniforms ‘were bluish gray, loose and ill-fitting, with square cap and low-falling viser. They carried their guns irregularly at shoulder-arms. March All Day. Around. these old monuments, Rome soldiers may-be seen marching all’ hours of the day, and the sculp- tures and inscriptions seem to show how the remote past is bound up with the events of today. Around the 4 Coliseum, for instance, soldiers have been marching for the last two thousand vears. The Arch of Con- antine commemorates Constantine's great victory over Maxentius, and the founding of Constantinople to which Constantine gave his name—Constan- tinople which was a center of warfare nearly two thousand years ago as it is today. Nearby the Arch of Titus marks the capture of Jerusalem. One ot the reliefs on the Titus Arch shows o tremendous battle with the Dacians. The soldiers who keep passing today seldom glance at these battles of the past; and, singularly, the tourists seldom glance at the soldiers of today, but are absorbed in the monuments of past military achievements. A favorite place of resort for the officers and soldiers when off duty is the piazza Venezia in the heart of Rome, with a view of the nearby column of Trajan. The columa looks as solid today as when erected eighteen hundred years ago in honor of Emperor Trajan. If the soldiers took the trouble to examine the sculp- turned reliefs, winding from top to Lottom, they would find almost a counterpart of the battles going on today in the Balkans, as these reliefs represent the wars with the German tiibes along the Danube—battles on the very ground where the Germans, Serbs and Bulgarians have just been fighting, One relief represents a thirsty army getting relief from a providential rainstorm. Chief Encampment. The chief encampment of Italian troops is in the suburb west of Rome on the broad plain of . Mont Mario, named after the great soldier Marius. There are 4,000 to 6,000 soldiers in this encampment, and they are tramp- ing over the same ground that Marius and his legions marched. It was through Mont Mario, also, that all the great invasions of Rome occupied, with the final capture and sacking «f the city and the fall of the Roman Empire. “And these soldiers of today are: manoeuvering over the same ground that witnessed these decisive events of the world’s history. Crossing the Tiber one sees sol- diers on guard along the upper walls of the great castle of St. Angelo. The so-called castle is in fact the tomb of the soldier Emperor Hadrian, and commemorates his achievements. It | was used as a military barracks at one | time, but now new barracks have been built and only a few soldiers are left as a guard of honor for this monu- ment of past military glory. There is the same military move- ment going on around all these | famous monuments of the past. And the inscriptions show that about the same thing has been going on for two thousand years—soldiers marching, armies fighting along the Danube, the Rhine and the Alps, and other armies headed toward Constantinople—his- tory repeating itself. 20,000,000 LIVES COST OF TWO YEARS OF WAR Prof. Parkes of British Government Health Service Declares at Meet- ing of Sanitarians, London, Dec. 31.—"The total de- struction of life during two years of war will reach 20,000,000 persons,” declared Professor Louis C. Parkes, of the government health service, at the annual meeting of the Royal Institute of Sanitarians, just concluded here. The speaker expressed the hope, however, that this loss of life might somehow prove a blessing in disguise resulting eventually in a distinct im- provement in European civilization. “In the past ages’ said Prof. Parkes ““evolution of higher types in animal and vegetable life has generally re- suted from cataclysmic changes, and great destruction by plague, pestilence, and:famine has led to an advance in civilization. So it is possible that this Armageddon may be of ultimate bene- fit to humanity.” Touching on the lowering birth- rate in Great Britain, the speaker de- clared that every country in Europe has shown a decreasing birthrate dur- ing the past decade, with the excep- tion of Bulgaria, Rumania and Ire- land.

DISIRIBUTING AGENTS FOR HARVARD PRODUCTS » M. T. WHITE, Railroad Arcade, ™3™ | NOTABLE TRIBUTES T0 T, L. SHEVLIN Hinkey Calls Him One of Yale's Greatest Players and Goaches New Haven, Dec. 31.—The news oi the death of Thomas L. Shevlin, Yale's great end and football coach on several occasions, which occurred Wednesday at his home in Minneapo- 1is, came as quite a shock to Yale men and followers of Yale football here. Death Was due to an attack of pneumonia from which Shelvin had teen ill but'a few days. Shevlin’s death has called forth a number of notable tributes to him as a man and especially as a football player, and inspirer of football play- ers, and one of the most noteworthy cf these is that of Head Coach Hinkey of th'e Yale team, who developed Shelvin as a wonderful end when in ccllege and with whom Shevlin worked during the closing weeks of the past season, Hinkey's Statement. Coach Hinkey said: “The news of Tom Shevlin's death was a great shock to me. He was among the greatest players, the best coaches, and the finest captains who have handled the pigskin for Yale. He had a very great power in instilling the fighting ‘do or die’ spirit into his men. ‘Tom’ was one of the best men I have known. There are few around New Haven who knew him as I did, and T shall feel his loss very keenly. Walter Camp’s Tribute, Walter Camp, the noted Yale foot- ball authority, made the following statement concerning Mr. Shevlin's death: A sportsman, a leader, a friend ulways at the front with a dominant personality that compelled attention and success. Into life, as into football, he carried that personality and it al- ways stood him in good stead. He never faltered, but went straight ahead with a vigor that was compel- ling and yet with a sound judgement that brought its reward. Yale will miss him, football and sport will miss him, but above all a host of friends will feel a deep sense of personal loss that nothing can replace.” From Professor Corwin, Prof. Robert N. Corwin, chairman of the Yale Athletic Association, when informed of the death of Mr. Shevlin, said: “Mr. Stevlin's death will come as a great shock to Yale men for he was widely known to a large circle of graduates and greatly beloved by all “ho knew him. His loss will be felt especially by football men. The foot- ball management owes him a large debt of gratitude for the sacrifices which he had made repeatedly to help our teams out of trouble. He always seemed ready to cancel the most im- rerative business engagement when- cver or wherever the call for help reached him. He will be missed as friend, adviser and coach. During the present season when he gave his time and effort so freely to the building up of the 1915 team he gained the con- fidence and friendship of the whole squad.” Shevlin’'s Work at Yale. Mr, Hinkey gave a sketch of Shev- lin’'s connection with Yale football, which gubstantially ran as follows: Tom Shevlin was one of the last Yale men who played four years on a football team before a rule prohibiting freshmen from representing the uni- versity came into effect. He was picked for the All-American team cach those four years. In the fall of 1905, his senior year, Shevlin cap- tained the eleven, and although the rhysique of his men was vastly infer- jor to that of Michigan and other western colleges, he succeeded in evolving a team which was practically unbeatable on the offense. On the de- fense, it was weaker, but the men al- ways backed up in time to save them- selves from being scored upon. The only score that year was a fleld goal made by Princeton. Working harmo- niously with Head Coach Jack Owsley, Shevlin displayed a system of perfect generalship. That SeasOn of 1910, Except for a few days now and then Shevlin did not get time to coach un- til the crisis of 1910 when Fred Daly's team received a trouncing of 21 to 0 at the hands of Brown. Tom had been around for a few days, and Ted Coy, who was head coach that year, and his assistants prevailed upon the mighty end to remain and do what he could to rescue the team from what appeared to be certain defeat at the hands of Princeton and Harvard. No Yale men who saw Shevlin on the fleld in those days will ever forget bim, His way of going after the men caused many to belleve he was some- what rough, but close observation re- vealed the fact that it was all for the purpose of drilling some fundamental point into man so he would have it forever. The result was that Yale defeated a strong Princeton ag- gregation 6 to 3, and played a score- less tie with Harvard. ‘What He Did This Year. During the next few years Shevlin helped out occasionally at New Haven, besides giving his services now and then to Dr. Williams, 93, football coach at the University of Minnesota. But it was the past season when Aleck Wilson’s demoralized team found itself in an even worse predic- ament than the 1910 team that Shev- lin again came into the limelight. | Just before the Brown game Hinkey and his staff again called on the mir- acle man of the gridiron to save the day, and once more he rallied to the cclors, Thomas L. Shevlin died at his home in Minneapolis Wednesday morning of pneumonia.

RYAN AND PARTY ~ ARRIVE AT VIENNA American Physician Had Exciting the first intimation his friends here had of his illness. His condition be- came serious last Thursday and he suffered a relapse on Tuesday. A dis- patch from Minneapolis last night said that the funeral of Mr. Shevlin will be held on Friday afternoon, Shevlin and Secret Societics. Shevlin was not the sort of man to make his way into any sort of cli- que at Yale, and, while popular gen- erally he never established that social identity which would have insured genior years honors. Yet so great was his athletic pres tige that it was popularly supposed he would be tapped for some one of the prominent secret societies, Tap day came and Shevlin was ignored, it he was chagrined he did not show it. He stood around talking uncon- cernedly for an hour or two and then went to his rooms. In the meantime, student sentiment had crystallized in- to indignation at the treatment of a gridiron hero who had assisted in bringing prestige to Yale. A great Pody of undergraduates moved to his rooms, and, taking post under his windows, make the night ring with cheers in his honor. and calls for a speech. ey EAT LESS MEAT AND TAKE SALTS IF KIDNEYS HURT Says a tablespoonful of Salts Flushes Kidneys, stopping Backache.
