 '1Xz '1Xz DYING CITY

gle church which is famous under the name of St. Appollinare in Classe. The site of most vanished cities is marked by ruined walls or at least mounds. Of Classe there is not a wall nor hillock. All that was not overthr own and carried away has sunk into the soil, and only by excavation can here and there some fragment of founda- ton be revealed. The surviving churches within the city of Ravenna itself are numerous, and many more than the present population requires. Yet they are only few compared with the number that once existed.
 Mausoleum of Gala Placida.
 The earliest building of interest still existing in Ravenna is the small but most attractive little mausolSum of Gala Placidia. It attempted no rival ry with the mausolea of the great Ro- man Imperial days, such as that of Trajan or even the Constantinian San ta Costanza. It is only little cruci- form structure of brick, surmounted over the crossing by a tiny dome; but the three sarcophagi that fill it's arms are stately, and the lining of gold ground mosaic that covers it's lunettes and vaults glows with all the splen- dor which ancient artists knew so we'll how to attain; while the marble revetment below them, admirably re- stored, and the marble pavement and thin alabaster window slabs (likewise restorations), complete an interior decoration which for perfect taste, nity could scarcely be surpassed
 St. Appollinare in Classe I suppose is sometimes used for worship, but it wears look of tidy abandonment worshippers, and only the wandering visitor breaks the solitude; but it is a peopled solitude all the same, a soli tude vocal with memories of great men and great doings long ago. The spacious marble floor is divided by the two great ranges of columns, noble an tique monoliths of veined marble standing upon sculptured bases which are not buried The simple apse, en. riched with mosaic, is all the more splendid in effect because so much else of the walls is bare. An ancient altar of small dimensions is in the midst of the nave. Another, sur. mounted by remarkable ciborium of

SITUATION BETWEEN U. S. AND SOUTHERN REPUBLIC CROW
 ING SERIOUS.
INCITING CROWDS TO ROIT
Navy Department Preparing to Meet Situation-Carranza Orders Qua tamalan Minister Expelled
 From Country.

Washington.-The situation in Mex, leo took a new and startling turn, and it is believed there is strong proba- tility that a clash between the United States and Carranza is imminent.
 The recent developments are:
 Commander McNamee, in command of the naval forces of the east coast, reported that mobs in Vera Cruz were being melted to murder foreigners and that the situation was extremely se- rious. He asked that two battleships be sent to him at once.
 In response to his request, the bat tleships Louisiana and New Hamp- shire sailed from Newport, R. l., for Vera Cruz. The gunboat Marietta has also been ordered from Progreso to Vera Cruz
 President Wilson has decided to cut short his vacation at Cornish, N. H., and return to Washington at once
 Dr. Ortega, the Guatemalan minister to Mexico, who was ordered expelled by Carranza, was taken on board the gunboat Sacramento at Vera Cruz for safety His wife and daughter are with him. They will be brought to the United States.
 The Navy Department hurriediy pre- pared plans to divert from Haiti some of the marines and ships which are now there This will be done if the situation at Vera Cruz becomes more critical.

sculptured marble on spirally f1uted columns, fills the east corner of the north aisle.
 Tomb of the Great Ostrogoth.
 One other monument of great i'm portance cannot be passed over with out a brief mention. This is the mau- soleum of Theodoric himself. It is not large, little larger than Gala Placidia's, but it is imposing by the strength of its massive stone con struction. Polygonal in plan, two- storied, with external staircases lead ing to gallery round the empty up- per chamber-that is all. For roof it is covered by one huge hollowed block of stone, like an inverted saucer in form, with an external protuberance in the center, on which bronze orna- ment once stood. The bronze doors. the bronze parapet of the gallery, and perhaps other ornaments, were carried away by Charlemagne and built into his palatine chapel at Aix-la- Chapelle. where some of them can still be seen.
 Nothing of Theodoric himself re- mains in his grave. His body was thrown out when orthodoxy supplanted Arianism. The mausoleum is now mere empty shell, well protected by a salaried guardian, who in the hot season, when was last there, accom- panied me with a broom to sweep away the harmless snakes which are now the sole occupants of the pile Enemies could throw out Theodoric's bones, but his memory they could not obliterate-the memory of one of the few really great men who snatched from falling Rome the torch of civili- zation she had borne so high. and availed for short span to xeep it burning.

dug out and surrounded by kind of walled moat; but all this only post pones the inevitable ultimate end. Ravenna is, in fact, dying city, and has been dying slowly ever since the Lombards came and drove out the ex- archs of the emperor of Byzantium a century or so before Charlemagne lib erated the pope from Lombard op- pfession.
 Once Actually on the Coast.
 At an earlier time Ravenna was actually on the coast. The Roman port was only mile or two away, a relatively shallow port in the midst of lagoons, which were continually being silted up. That port, however, was the best then available for ships of war, and it's site, now miles inland, still bears it's ancient name, Classe. Even today steamers of inconsidera- ble size enter Ravenna, and a few, a very few, of my readers may have landed there on their way from Dal- matia back into Italy; but it is only along dredged channels and canals that Ravenna can thus be reached. In late Roman days Classe was very important place, the fleet being a chief defense of Italy.
 Descriptions of Classe tell us of it's great basins and quays, it's noble streets and houses, it's many churches and monasteries. We likewise learn from them of the noble avenue of stately buildings which led thence to Ravenna itself, where was the splen- did palace of the prince and such num- bers of churches and public buildings as almost to seem incredible. Today, of Classe and the great avenue of buildings, not one stone remains upon another except in the case of the sin

Appeals from business houses which declared i'm pairment of the cable service through censorship had been a serious em- barrassment financially, moved the department to investigate.

IF OVERS of the most beautiful M things have had one great piece M of good fortune in that Ravenna H A does not lie on the route of the
 mass of ordinary tourists through Italy. Honeymooning couples avoid it. so do the personally con ducted flocks. It is, moreover, ex- formally dull town, and it's streets and near surroundings are fiat and uninteresting. writes Sir Martin Con- way in Country Life.
 A few miles away, indeed, there is the beautiful pine forest sung by Dante, 8 wild stretch of broken ground along the Adriatic coast, with charming glades and hollows, bushy below and overarched by rugged and pathetically dignified trees, where those who do not suffer from fear of snakes can wander in romantic sur roundings. The neighborhood of Ra- venna is, moreover, fever-stricken. l shall never forget a visit paid to the church of Santa Maria in Porto Fuori. It stands in a hamlet of decaying houses, itself also far gone in decay --the pavement broken, plaster fall ing from the walls, and all the usual signs of dilapidation. A woman who brought the keys of the church told us how the few peasants about were all broken down with fever, how the priest was away as much as possible, how the folk were mostly atheistie and anarchistic, and how only the very minimum of work was done by anyone about. There were reekilg quagmires and damp places and stagnant pools on all sides, and the old church itself seemed to be sinking into the swamp.
 Thus, in fact, Ravenna actually is sinking. It is not merely that the level of the ground of the town is rising, as ground levels in towns nor mally rise; but the buildings sink into the soft alluvial soil by little and lit tie, and have thus sunk from the day they were built. The process is a very slow one, but likewise very sure, and it cannot be stayed. Already in the wet season of the year the naves of the old churches stand foot or two deep in water, and that although the floor level has been raised as much as three or four feet, so that the bases of the columns are buried. The older the church the deeper it lies in the ground. Some have been
