Il Of Enhancing Interest to
the Tourist.

The city Of Naples gives no idea
OF the beauty Of southern Italy. It sits
like a ragged vagrant by the roadside
in the fairest land Of Europe.
II you would see all Of this beauty
at glance, visit the steep headline OF
Posilipo, which juts into the sea be-
yond the city. Here are combined the
beauties Of the modern Campania-
the smooth roads winding upward past
white villas, the blue sky, under which
the earth seems to glow, while the sea
is tipped with silver-and the most
striking relics Of the long-gone days
Of the Roman empire and the middle
ages, those periods so full Of story and
color, which have moved across Italy,
environed in her beautiful landscape
and inspired by the romantic tempera.
ment OF her people, like the acts OF
some mighty pageant.
At Posilipo stood the villa OF VIZ
gil, greatest of the Latin poets, and
here today Is vault where mis- re-
mains are said to lie. It was. at Po-
silipo that Virgil wrote the Georges,
those beautiful Latin pastorals that
picture all the seasons Of the year as
the poet studied them from his coun-
try seat. Here after he had died came
many another poet and sage to put
flowers on his tomb.
This famous sepulcher is a low
stone vault with three windows. There
formerly stood within it a tall urn,
which was said to contain the ashes OF
the poet, but this has disappeared and
Is said to have been removed by King
Robert the Wise to his palace for safe
keeping.
At the very end Of the headland
stands one Of the most impressive
relics Of Roman luxury in all Italy. It
is the ruin Of Pausilypum, the villa
built by Vedius Polio and bequeathed
by him to Augustus Caesar. THE End
of Sorrow" is the meaning Of its name,
which has become that Of the entire
headland.
Here are remains Of massive white
marble walls and pillars and founda-
tiors, reaching far out into the water,
and from these and from the numerous
legends and stories that cling about
them, one may reconstruct the beauty
and splendor and license Of the life OF
decadent Rome. He may picture the
great villa, sitting on the point OF the
headland, backed by dark groves, with
it's white feet In the breaking sea-. de
may reconstruct in fancy the Odeon
and the theater, where the lord and
his guests were entertained; the fish
pond into which Vedius caused a serV-
ant to be thrown and deyoured for
breaking a glass; the wide-hung gal
leries and porticoes, the elaborate
marble baths. And this palace Of by
gone age he may people with the
mobiles and philosophers, the poets and
soldiers Of Rome, in their flowing
robes Of white aid purple, attended
by the slaves Of all their wars-beau-
tiful women Of Greece, black men from
Africa, fair-haired savages from the
British Isles and the wild interior Of
Europe-the people Of all the races

dominating men that the world has
yet brought forth and who are now re-

morrow at the camp at Mt. Gretna,

OF this week, according to what is be-
lieved here.

FIVE DEAD IN SOUTHERN
FLOOD; LOSS MILLIONS
CONTINUED From First Pagel

rivers that rose out of their banks
in this section yesterday flooding the
villages of Biltmore and leaving Ashe-
Vile without gas or electric light and
power, were said to be receding early
to-day ana 1t was thought that the
greatest danger to this section had
passed. Estimates of property dam
age already have been placed at from
$4,000, 600 to $10,00O,000 while the
total loss to crops, lumber mills, cot
ton mills, highway and railway
bridges and miles of railroad track
throughout the area that has felt the
flood, was expected TO grow as belated
reports came in.
Five States Affected
The area which felt the effects of
the flood extends from eastern Ten
nessee through southeastern West
Virginia, southwestern Virginia, across
North Carolina to Wilmington, and
embraces virtually all of South Caro-
lima.
The immediate cause of floods
around Asheville Sunday was the
bursting of the dam at Henderson
Vile, N. c., and that at Kanuga. Vol
umes of water swept down the Swan
nanoa river, engulfing portions of the
Vanderbilt estate and the village of
Biltmore, laid out % years ago by the
late George w. Vanderbilt 1t was
at Biltmore that three persons were
drowned before they could leave their
home, while two nurses from the Bilt-
more hospital are thought to have
been drowned.
Dams Break
Down the French Broad valley
swept another flood from the broken
dams until lower Asheville was in
undated and scores of industrial
plants damaged. Several hundred
mill workers are being cared for here,
their homes having been washed
away. The Southern Railway depot
and the Glen Rock Hotel. both a mile
and a half from the business sections
of Asheville, were covered with water
several feet deep. Two rescuers were
drowned trying to carry food to per-
sons marooned in upper floors of the
hotel.
Near Charlotte, N. c., which also
reported heavy damage, eighteen men
working on a railway Bridge were car
ried away when the bridge went
down, and either were drowned or are
marooned in tree tops. At Charleston,
S. c., approximately thirty men com
posing the crews of six barges are
missing. The barges were torn from
tugs during the hurricane.

300 Cinnamon Who Have
Fled to Protection of
Expedition Raise Problem
By Associated Press

Field Headquarters in Mexico, July
~, by Motor Truck to Columbus,
N. NJ, July 16.-What to do with the
three hundred Chinese who have as
sociated themselves with the punitive
expedition has developed into a SER
ious problem with the army since the
shortening of the American line in
Mexico recently revealed the large
number enjoying present security un-
der the protection of the American
flag. These Chinese flocked to the
American lines to make money while
the Mexicans through pride refused
to sell hungry soldiers anything to eat
or through poverty were unable to
trafric with the American troops. The
Chinese stepped in and succeeded.
Many soldier without soap, obtained
his first good wash by buying a cake
from the Chinese.
In the desert wherever a truck train
was likely to stop for water there
was Chinaman. Doughnuts, pies,
candy, tobacco, matches and fruit,
which comprises about all the luxuries
known to the men during this cam
paign in poverty-stricken country
We're furnished by Chinese and by
them only. Chinese from points as far
distant as Chihuahua became the
shopkeepers of the army, travelling
sons to one vehicle.
Open to Reprisals
Like the Mexicans who were threat
ened for having business dealings with
the army, these Chinese lay them
selves open to reprisal after the de-
parture of tho troops. Consequently
they have followed the army north
ward to the border.
Charles Tien, leader of the Chinese
here, who claims American citizen
ship, said to-day that he would not
care to remain in Mexico If the troops
withdrew. He said his countrymen
now with the expedition, but who are
barred from entering the United
States, will go with the army to the
border, stopping on the Mexican side,
from where, he said they expect to
be able to flee across the line for
temporary refuge in case they are
threatened
Chinese here, when asked whether
they carried firearms for self defense,
shook their heads.
"Carranzistas." they said, have
played jokes on the China boys who
have guns. We hear these China boys
have had to enlist in the Carranza
army"
