HISTORIC CHURCH BEARS BRUNT OF BIG AIR RAID Scalzi, in Venice, One oF Art Monuments of the World, Is a Wreck Venice, Italy. March 18. (Corre spendence of the Associated Press.) —An opportunity to see the destruc tive effect of the bomb raids on Venice was given to-day to the As sociated Press, when an inspection un der official escort was made of tne havoc and ruin in the famous old church of the Scalzi, one of the art monuments of the world, now a wreck with its roof blown off, its massive walls tottering, and the famous cell ing fresco by Ticpolo, valued at a million francs, lying In heaps of rub bish In the ruins of the building. There have been three bomb raids on Venice, but this was the first, and the historic church bore the full brunt of it. Approaching the massive edifice one | sees a gaping hole in the roof, ex pending from front to rear. The fa cade, fronting the Grand Canal, is In- | tact, and three sculptured figures i standing along the cornice remain I untouched. But back of the figures the roof sags away In a curved line! downward and then up again to the I rear wall, as though some giant hand | had reached down and torn out the j whole top of the church, leaving only j the front and the rickety side Walls' still intact. Workmen can be seen j high above beginning the work of sal- ! vage and repair, and heavy timbers j are being laced across the gaping hole left by the bomb. Entering the historic church a, scene of havoc and ruin is presented j | —twisted beams and arches, panels and columns of alabaster crushed j 1 into bits and lying around in heaps. [ the richly carved pulpit blown to! 1 pieces with only a faint outline of its i | former wonders remaining, and above, i the roof wide open to the sky, with i the wonderful frescos of Tiepolo i dumped In huge masses of debris on I the stone pavement. Faint edges of j | the grand old frescoes still cling to the side walls, giving some lea of the beauties of the work torn away. Six j enormous arches spanned the edifice ! meeting In the middle, and giving ; an intervening space for these frescoes Xot a vestige remains of the main sub- j : jects, the visit of the Virgin to Loret- 1 i to, containing hundreds of biblical | and allegorical figures, the ragged ! edges showing only cloud effects and j the background with a few figures. The high altar, with spiral alabaster! columns and rich decorations, is not touched, and another curious feature | is that the electric candles circling the church are undisturbed, the elec j trie bulbs shining as brightly as ever. But with these two exceptions—the high altar far In the rear, and the circling candles everything is a ruin, frescoed ceiling, inlaid marble sidewalks, sculptures, confessionals, ! I memorial tablets, baptistry, and mar ble mosaic pavement—all lying about ; in fragments. It was about eleven o'clock in the j morning when the explosion occur-1 red. This was the busy hour, when I the gondolas were crowding the Grand Canal, and the Venetians were •hopping and marketing. Suddenly a single monoplane was seen in the I northern sky, coming from the direc tion of the Austrian frontier. It was flying very high—about 2,500 meters. 1 People at first did not recognize this speck as an enemy bent on destruc tion. Soon however, the steam, cyren at the Arsenal gave a long wail —the i signal of warning and the people scattered to cellars and any available | cover. The aeroplane was now in full view, heading straight for the big railway station of Venice, the center of a network of railway connections. Just above the station the aeroplane i began to circle round and round. : Clearly it was going to bomb the sta i tion. But at 2,500 meters height the | aim is not good, and besides there j was*mist adding to the difficulties of i a sure shot. Down came the bomb — ! people could see it fall—but instead of the station it struck square on top of the famous old church. It did not explode immediately as it struck the roof. Instead, it made a clean hole ithrough the roof, and then, shooting downwards, exploded just above and in front of the pulpit. I This internal explosion Is what ! caused the terrible destruction, as ! besides the flying fragments of the | bomb and its shrapnel contents, the ! sudden expansion of air in the con j lined interior of the church literally lifted the roof from the supporting ! walls and blew it skyward. One side of the roof was bent over to the right, the other to the left, beams and arches crashing upward and over, while masses of debris settled down j between the walls. The frescoed ceil > Ing had disappeared in an instant. Particles of the bomb dug deep into the alabaster facing the walls, crack ing and wrenching the marble pil lars and side walls from floor to roof. Even the marble floor, made of huge ! slabs formed in mosaics, was torn up in chunks. One huge slab of the I floor covered the tomb of some of the I famous Venetians of olden days, and this was wrenched out exposing the ' torn below. The explosion occurred j when the church was deserted so that ! no loss of life resulted. To the art world the damage to the famous old church is an irrepar | able loss. Everywhere it was known as the type of the Venetian baroque 'style, and next to the church of Santa : Maria was the best example of this style in the world. The fresco by Tie i polo, covering the entire ceiling, was lof course, the greatest loss, as next ' to Titian. Tintoretto and Paul Veron : esee, Tiepolo was accepted as the greatest of descriptive painters, and the last of the older school of famous I Venetian masters. The destroyed j fresco was his most representative 1 work, and probably the largest. After 1 nearly 300 years the painting was in ! an excellent state of preservation, the j vividness of the coloring and the . great number of figures in the colossal j work—nearly 100 feet across—giving ! it a special interest and value to the j art world. Only by chance, too. Is it Tiepolo's work that is destroyed instead of Titian's or Tintoretto's, for these mas ters are similarly represented on the ceilings and walls of many of the churches and historic monuments of j Venice, and while paintings can be removed to places of safety the fres coed ceilings must stay to take the chance of bombs. P.uskin in his Stones of Venice says Titian and Paul i Veronese can be judged only by the ; ceilings of Venice. The sculptures and I carvings of the high altar are by an other Venetian master, Pozzo, but these escaped serious damage. Besides the destruction of the Soalzl church .the chetf effect of the bomb raids have been near the Arsenal. It is clear thai the chief purpose of the raids is to reach the Arsenal and the railway station, the former being the chief defensive work of Venice with , large stores of ammunition, while the railway station is a junction for many | lines for strategic military movements toward the frontier. The bombs thus j far have fallen outside the arsenal, in narrow side streets, tearing up the I streets and riddling the houses but not causing much loss of life. The i canals are everywhere, and many of (the bombs have fallen in the water.

The most I popular argument advanced by the optimists is that this time he is being pursued with a purpose, a vigor and a discipline that he has never be fore confronted. Wild Rumors of Raids \ The fact that the bandit turned northeast from Guerrero instead of in a southerly direction gave rise to wild 1 stories that he was headed for the border with the Intention of perpetrat ing another raid on the territory of the United States. As far as El Paso was concerned, immediate interest to-day was di ' verted to the expected attempt of the military authorities to send supplies to | General Pershing's base over the | Mexican Northwestern Railroad. Gen j eral Bell is believed to be planning (to offer shipments some time during j the day and the greatest interest was ! aroused as to what would be the re | suit. Chain of Aviation Relays Link Border and Camps By Associated Press Field Headquarters, American Puni tive Expedition, Colonia Dublan. Chi i huahua, Mex., March 27.-—By Motor ■to Columbus. N. M., March 31. A complete chain of aviation relays front the American border to the front where American columns are close on Villa's trail has been established. The main base is at field head quarters. The advantage of the relay ! is that, it enables the planes to travel 'with fairly light loads from one sta tion to the next. It also serves, in j part, to overcome the problem of 'altitude whic'i the aviators have faced b'y lightening the load of fuel. A! | present the machines perform mes ! senger service, carrying mails and oc casionally emergency supplies. One of them took a small hand mirror | more than 100 miles for important ! work. j All this preparation by the aero squadron is for more vital work as the aviators have already done some of the most important work accom plished by the field division. Dilapidated Stock, Burned Bridges and Light Rails Makes Railroading Hard Columbus, N. M., March 31. Operation ol the Mexico Northwest ern Railroad south from Casas Grandes has been accomplished only with the greatest difficulty, according to soldiers arriving from the field to day. Eight rails, dilapidated rolling stock, destroyed bridges and culverts were described as being the chief handicaps in the utilization of the 140 miles of track below Casas Grandes. 1 For ten days military engineers have been at work repairing the road to j minimize danger in transporting Am ' erican troops, supplies and animals. High winds, bringing with them a return of the cold which lasted a week, worked hardships on the men jin the field, prevailed last night over the district occupied by American j troops, according to meager wireless j reports received to-day. Mexican Asserts He Saw Villa Shot by American Troops After First Raid El Paso, Texas. March 31.—Fran cisco Villa, cosely pursued by Ameri can troopers, was wounded seriously, ! escaping narrowly with his life after his raid on the New Mexican town of i Columbus. This is the story related here to-day by Federico W. Perez, at j one time an aviator in the Villa army. | He said the bandit was shot in the hip. i Perez said he had been held captive by Villa, escaping the night of the raid on Columbus. The Mexican aviator said: "At about halfuast 9 o'clock in the morning I heard horses Kaiioplng. I drew myself up to the ed«e of my cac tus pit and peeped ou* T<>ere. within flfty yards of ine, and riding along a little road almost directly toward me. . I saw Villa, Is(|itierda. Vervantes and I two private soldiers I did not know. "Suddenly behind them came a pat ter of rifle shots. In the distance I saw a troop of American-cavalry rid- I infr hard in pursuit. 'iVilla and his companions turned into a patch of mesqulte brush at the side of the road. Villa was wounded. !He seemed severely hurt. Once he 1 pressed his hand to his right hip, and i when he drew it away it had blood on it." Villa Nearly Killed When Man Being Tortured Turns and Strangles Him Field Headquarters, American Ex ! peditionary Forces, Colonia Dublan, ! Chihuahua. March 26 (by motor truck | to Columbia, N. M., March 31). —It I has been learned here that Francisco j Villa nearly lost hit, life a few davs j ago on the Corralitos ranch, a short distance from this place, where he tor tured and put to death five Mexicans. One of his victims leaped upon him and was strangling Villa when officers beat his assailant senseless with the butts of their guns. Mucio Polanco was the name of the Mexican who almost succeeded in end ing Villa's career. The murder of five members of the Polanco family was said to have been intended as a warning to other Mexi cans against having dealings with Americans. Massacre of 175 Men Is Reported to Have Followed Revolt; Some Join Villa By Associated Press Washington, March 31.—The State Department got an unofficial and un ' confirmed report that the Villa fight at Guerrero In which the bandit chief tain is reported to have killed ITS men ' of a Carranza garrison, had to do with a revolt in the garrison in which some I 300 men were Involved. Some of them I are reported to have joined Villa. I General Scott, chief of staff, said of- I llcial dispatches from Major General , Funston indicated supplies would be gin to move into Mexico by railroad to ' day, or as soon as General Gavlra, com i mending the de facto government troops iat Juarez, had received instructions from General Carranza. ! The military situation both along the border and In the territory where the American columns are operating was described by General Fuston as satisfactory in a personal letter to Gen eral Scott. Published reports that General Funston was dissatisfied with ' the slow moving machinery of the War I and State Departments, General Scott I said, were clearly disproved by Gen- I eral Funston's letter.
