UNDER FIVE FLAGS
II Takes That Many to Run Small bv%
Turbulent Crete.

Cree.
To the southwark, its green clad,
snow capped mountains rising from
turquoise sea, lay Crete, the is
land of mythology and massacre. 1t
was a picture Of sunshine and ami
nation of vivid colors and strange
peoples such as one seldom sees ex-
cept in some %gorgeously staged
comic opera.
But even as this was in my mind,
says a writer in the Travel Maya
zine, a gun doomed out from a
srumbling bastion, and five little
balls ran up five flagstatfs standing
in a row on the uppermost ram
parts and broke out into five flags.
The morning breeze caught up
their folds and held them straight
out, as though for our benefit, SO
that we could make them out quite
plainly. Four of them were old
friends that | had encountered on
all of the seven seas-the union
jack and the tricolor and the St.
| Andrews cross of Russia and the
red, white and green banner of It.
aly-but the fifth flag, which flew
somewhat higher than the others,
was of unfamiliar design. The sin
ale blood red square, however,
bounded by the Greek cross and
bearing the cleaning star of Beth
lehem, told its own story, and l
knew it for the flag of Crete.
| knew that there was deep sig
~niicance in the design of that IN
known flag and in the position of
the four familiar ones that flew be-
low it, for they signaled to all the
! world that the Turk had been driv-
en- out, never to return; that Chris
tianity had triumphed over Mo-
hammedanism and that the cross
had indeed replaced the crescent;
that the centuries of massacre
were now but memories; that peace
in the guise of foreign soldiery had,
for a time at least, found an abid-
ing place in Crete, and, most sig
nifcant of all, that the strange flag
with the single star would be up
held if necessary by the mightiest
array of bayonets and battleships
in all Christendom.
!; Canea, which is the seat of gov
eminent, is the most picturesquely
cosmopolitan spot west Of Suez. 1t
is equidistant from the shores OF
Europe, Asia and Africa, it has a
mild and equable climate, living is
cheap, there is a large garrison of
foreign soldiery, there are nc ex-
tradition treaties in force, and
trouble of one kind and another il
always brewing.
| Like a magnet, therefore, Canea
has attracted the scum and or
securing of all the Levant-needy
soldiers Of fortune, professional
revolution makers, smooth spoken
gamblers and confidence men,
Egyptian donkey boys, out at ell
bows; dragomans who speak q score
Of tongues and hail from no one
knows where-all that rabble Of
the needy, the adventurous and the
desperate who follow the armies
Of occupation and are always to be
found on the fringe of civilization.

The city officials are firm In their
intention of carrying out the orders
and beginning next Monday Johnny's
doggie may not return home unless
the city license is paid. A rush is ex-
pected and the public will be given
days OF grace until next Monday. al
though the license was due January

rivaled transportation facilities. rea-

BREAD MATERIAL
STEADILY ADVANCES
In MARKET PRICE
Best Flour Selling at So Per
Barrel and the Price
Still Climbing.
Even Kentucky Corn Bread
Expensive.
SPECULATION is THE CAUSE

IL the poor man can exist on water
there is every indication that his life
can be a happy one as well as mex
pensive. but IL bread is necessary as
part of his daily diet II is certain
that his bank account will dwindle
away. Flour. of the best grade, is
selling for IS a barrel, having taken
a Jump of 20 cents since Saturday.
Other grades are selling all the way
from 81 to IS. Nor is there any re-
lief by switching to pancakes for just
plain old cornmeal Is selling at 81
bushel, a price that is not reached
often by this commodity.
More sorrow Is in store for the cit
lzen with a slim bank roll as some OF
the leading retail grocers say that the
price may jump still higher up the
ladder. Last week the -four took two
sudden jumps. and this is not entirely
unexpected by the dealers for this
week as some of the largest mills
have ceased operating. The present
advance in the breadmakers is at.
tributed TO speculation. and wheat is
selling for s1.2O a bushel. Some OF
the dealers declare that they do not
anticipate any material decline in the
price of wheat until June, when the
early wheat around western Ken
lucky is placed on the market. Still
very little wheat is raised in Ken
lucky. and before -four is back at the
old price II may be in the fall
However, the present advance Is
based on speculation and there could
be such a thing as the bottom falling
out and wheat would go down. said
one grocer.
