TURKEY HAS THE
CHEAPEST FLOUR
Due to Large Stores Of Grain Wisely
Accumulated by the
Government.

Athens, April 23.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press Flour in
Turkey is at present much cheaper
than in any of the other countries of
Europe. This is due mainly to large
stores Of grain wisely accumulated
in the government stores. Turkeys
last harvest was estimated as worth
$3.50, 100000, Of which the government
is said to have obtained four.hfths.
1t is reported that there are heavy
losses to the government supplies
from rotting, but there appears to be
no reason to expect that the stock
on hand will not last until the next
harvest.
The next harvest, however, will be
a small one, owing to the scanty SOW.
ings, and many experts prophesy that
the result will certainly be a general
famine in Turkey next autumn.

Washington, D. C.-The decennial

issued by Director Sam l.. Rogers OF
the bureau of census, department OF
commerce., and compiled under the
direction of Mr.. Starke M. Grogan,

SO per cent in II years; in net munich
pal Indebtedness, of ia per cent in II
years; and in the general property tax
levy, of Sc per cent in 10 years.
In this report are brought together
In two bound volumes all the statis-
tics pertaining to the general subject
Of wealth, debt and taxation which
have been issued from time to time
during the past year In series OF
bulletins.
The National Wealth.
The bureau estimates the total
value Of all classes of property in the
United States, exclusive of Alaska
and the insular possessions, in 1912 at
1851, 1878, 100000, or $1,965 per capita.
This estimate is presented merely as
the best approximation which can be
made from the data available and az
being fairly comparable with that
published eight years ago. The In
crease between 1904 and 1912 was rs
per cent for the total amount and ~
per cent for the per capita. Real es'
tate and improvements, including pub
lie property, alone constituted $110;
677,000,000, or SO per cent of the to-
tai, in 1912. The next greatest item,
SIC, 100000. was contributed by
the railroads; and the third, $14,694,.
$1,000, represented the value of man
ufactured products, other than cloth
ing and personal adornment, furni'
ture, vehicles and kindred property.
Public indebtedness.
The net public indebtedness in 1918
amounted to $4,s50,461 900. This

or 1922 per capita, in 1902 to $3.50,
s41,OO0 or 1891 per capita, in 1912,
the percentages Of increase being Sc
for the total amount and 81 for the
per capita.
Levies for state purposes increased
from $S0,402,0 900 in 1902 to $155,643,
600 in 1912, or by "a per cent. During
the same period the levies by coun'
ties. municipalities, school districts
ETC., increased from $644,335,OO0 to
1,1S4,253, 900, or by 81 per cent The
county levies in 1912 were $2SS,932.
900, and those of municipalities,
school districts, and other minor civil
divisions amounted to $S95,321 900.
Thus it appears that an increase OF

panied by an increase, during II

be borne in mind that the proportion
which urban population represented
OF the total was materially greater in
1913 than in 1902. The net indebted.
ness Of national, state, county and

creased by II per cent in II years.
A more significant comparison,
however, can be made between the
growth of the national wealth and the
increase In tax levies. The national
wealth, on the assumption that it's av.
erage annual rate of growth from 1872
to 1912 was the same as that which
prevailed from 1904 to 1912, increased
by l0l per cent in 10 years, while tn.
increase in tax levies during the PERI
cd 1902 to 1912 amounted to Sc pc,

Revenues and Expenditures.
The total revenue receipts Of the
national government during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1913, aggregated
1858 597 900, and the expenditures for
governmental costs were 1852, sol 900
The corresponding figures for 1903
were s657,232,0OO and $G16,739 900
The percentage of increase in govern
mental costs between 1903 and 1919
was 81. The nature and amounts ol
the leading items which made up the
total revenue receipts in 1913 were:
Especial property taxes" principally

At that time the Duke was a resident Of
England and occupied a splendid country
house called WoOdnorton in Oxfordshire
The English made the country too warm
for him and he was forced to resign from
all his London clubs. II Is even said that
a party Of Britons gave him such a warm
ovation that he was unable to sit down
for three weeks.
After that he made Brussels his favorite
hunting ground. There he became an OBJ
ject of public interest. The Duke is a very
tall, stout man, with a very prominent
nose and an eXuberant manner. He prides
himself on his resemblance 10 his ancestor
King Henry ", the celebrated Henry Of
Navarro, and he trains his whiskers to
carry out the resemblance.
King Henry was the friend Of Gabrielle
distress, and q score OF more OF other
noted beauties. In fact he was one Of
the most warm-hearted but tickle men in
French history. He is also the most pODu-
lar King France has ever had. That is
why the Duke harks back to him, over
looking a few more recent kings
The Duke resembles his great ancestor
chiefly in his promiscuous affections.
Sometimes when heated with wine and
enthusiasm he viii tell his fair and gay
companions that he is going to do some

thing quite in the style OF Henry Of Ma
varre at the battle Of Ivry when he cried:
Look where ye see my white plume
shine amid the ranks Of war
And be your Oriiamme to-day the
helmet Of Navarro"
The Duke goes forth, but before he has
gone far some common policeman OF low
class government official forces him back.
The poor Duchess bore her trials meekly
for many years. She did her best to make
the home at WOOdnorton attractive by
painting with her own hands a picture
Of an angel bearing the emblems Of the
house Of Bourbon to Heaven and another
Of the Duke, very tastefully dressed shoot
ing rabbits.
All was Of no avail. She was able to
ignore the existence OF chorus girls and
other plebeian persons, but when he be-
came profoundly devoted to a fascinating
society woman it was more than she could
stand.

but originally Mile. Charlotte Baconniere
de Salverte, a member OF a very old
French family She was first married to
the Duke de Praslin, from whom she was
divorced, and he then married Mrs Paine

litical dinners to the Dukes supporters
and that she was inspiring him with ideas

fore the crash came.
The poor Archduchess led a life Of mis-
cry and humiliation for years, as the world
has recently learned, with her husband,
but before coming to that it is necessary
to refer to some Of his exploits in the
meanwhile.
The Duke is probably to-day the most
shameless royal rake in Europe. He is
said to have studied under the late King
Leopold Of Belgium and to have COM
pletely surpassed his professor.
Recently he became infatuated with
very handsome and dashing Partisan con-
cert singer named Ninette des Melays. He
was seen with her in the restaurants and
cafes Of Brussels, making merry in an
uproarious manner.
The Dukes only virtue from any point
Of view appears 10 be his extravaganza.
This is remarkable because his recent an
cestors have been very close. He gave
Ninette some magnificent presents, includ-
ing even the jewels of his great-grand-
mother, Queen Marie Amelie.
One evening after a particularly merry
session in a Brussels cafe, Ninette, whose
grip had been lOosened by the festivities.
dropped one Of these historic heirloOms on
the stairs and left it there. It was restored
10 her by an ordinary diner.
At the time Of the Boer war French sym
patty was very strong with the Beers, and
the Duke thought he would make a strong
bid for popularity He wrote a letter Of

grandson OF the last King OF
4 France, has Just been refused per
mission 70 serve as a soldier BY all the
allied governments Of Europe in turn.
It is odd how much Difference is paid to
a king on a throne, while a man who has
more illustrious royal ancestry than any
Of them is treated more OF less on his
merits.
The Duke, in the course Of his gay ca
reer, has been snubbed by practically
every government and royal family in En-
rope, including those Of the present Allies
and their opponents They seem positively
to enjoy throwing him out Of the front
door and kicking him down the steps in
addition.
He has been e1iled from France He
has been driven from his London clubs
and boycotted by English society. He has
been condemned by the imperial family Of
Austria because his wife, a member OF
that family, left him, charging him with
great cruelty.
He has been assaulted by Englishmen
as a patriotic duty. He has been assailed
by husbands Of various nations as a pri-
vate duty.
And now he has been refused permis-
sion to serve in any military capacity by
France, England and Russia He cannot
even get into the commissary department,
for which he is well suited.
As the Dukes strong point is talking
about the days when his ancestors led
Frenchmen to glory, he had to get busy
when this war broke out. He promptly Of

The Duke offered to foregO all his rights
to the throne willie fighting He and his
friends are carrying on a verbal war with
the Government now, but there is not the
slightest prospect that 1t viii yield.
Then he offered his services to England,
which declined him on the ground that
France might feel offended if another
country employed him. Then he made a
similar offer to Russia, and even the auto
cratic Government of the Car declined
him because It did not want to offend
France.
This explanation by Russia was almost
a joke, for that country has admitted
