MANY CROSSED
THE ATLANTIC

Washington, March 9.-Despite the
perils of submarine warfare 100000
persons crossed the Atlantic between
American and European ports as pas
sengers last year. Figures assembled
in the bureau of navigation show that
250,O00 of them Travelled on vessels
owned by the belligerents. One hund-
red and fifty thousand took passage on
neutral ships.
Slightly more than half the Atlantic
travellers were east bound. The Italian
ships carried more vessels than
other nation. Only $4,000 of the pas
sengers travelled first class. Two hund :
red and seventy thousand went in the
steerage.
Passengers carried by belligerent
ships are divided as follows: Italian,
10000; British, $4,000; French, $4,000;
Russian, 5000; Belgian, 1000.
Those on neutral ships were: Amer
lean, $1,000; Greek, $4,000: Danish, 27.-
000;. Dutch, $4,000; Norwegian, $4,000;
Spanish, 1000.

The declaration of war by Ger
many on Portugal does not come
as a surprise. The direct cause of
the declaration was the seizure by
Portugal of about sixty German
chips that had been interned in
Portuguese ports.
Germany sent an uItimatun1, de-
n1anding the releasing of the ves-
sells, with the threat that unless
the demand was complied with inn
medIately war would be declared.
The threatened break between
Portugal and Germany has caused
9. great deal of speculation in the
United States. Many believe that
Portugal has inside information to
the effect that things are GOING
badly with the Teutonie powers,
otherwise Portugal would not have
dared to flout the kaiser.

THEY HIT RAVENNA
ENEMY AIRMEN DROP ExPLo. sIvEs ON HISTORIC CITY.
Old Italian Town Is Treasure-Trove for Lovers of Art-Holds Fine
 Examples of Byzantine Architecture.

Forty miles east of Bologna, ~ miles south of Venice, and lOO miles southwest of the Austrian naval pase of Pula, says the National Geograpnic society, lies the ancient Italian city or Ravenna, recently bombarded by Aus trian aircraft. Ravenna, with the pos sible exception of Rome, possesses more magnificent examples of eccle- siastical architecture of the Byzantine period than any other city in the world. In art, in literature and in historic slg- nificance Ravenna is treasure-troVe for student and traveller. It's Degln- ming is attributed to the Thessallans' but there is more tradition than fact in the accounts of the region over which it held sway until 1t came under the jurisdiction of Rome nearly two hundred years before the Chrlstlan era. It was here that Julius Caesar was accustomed to come for his con ferences with friends and political ad, visers from Rome during his ten years campaign In Gaul.
 The importance of the port, which strongly resembled Venice in it's carry days, but which is now six miles rom the Adriatic, dates from the time when Augusfus Caesar designated t as the naval be6s or ''the upper sea. 1fs nar bor hef1x able to acconmodate zot zklfHS T | i1ma \ that p2f1oo ke<

tions.
 At the outbreak of the world war the United States was importing an- nually from Germany about $15 ,000 ,0OO worth of aniline dyes. The discontin- uance of these dye shipments has had an effect upon our industries out of all proportion to the actual value of the imports, for the manufacturing or tablishments in this country which used these dyes employ more than 100000 workers, and many of the factories have been forced to run on half time or even less.
 The increase in the prices of some of the dyes can only be compared with the astonishing increase in tho prices of shares in some of the "war bride" stocks. For instance, patent blues have registered the astonishing advance from 50 cents to SPA . pound. Other dyes which formerly sold for 25 cents gallon now bring $12.
 Since 1893 the United States has produced about 20 per cent of the dyes needed in domestic manufac- lures.

SEARCH FOR DYES
VIRTUALLY FORGOTTEN INDUS TRY BEING REVIVED IN HASTE.
Chance Discovery of Young English Chemist Taken Up by Germans and Made Great Utility for
 Whole World.

A virtually forgotten industry is be- ing revived with frantic haste as a result of the discontinuance of Ger many's world commerce in aniline or coal-tar dyes, according to bulletin issued by the National Geographic society
 The United States, like many other countries, is looking longingly once more to Avignon's madder root for it's Turkey red" to India's indigo for it's blues, to Mexicos cochineal for it's scarlets, to Central Americas logwood for it's blacks and browns, to our own oak forests for the quercitron yellow, and--no, not to the peculiar Mediter- ranean seashell for it's purple, for the manufacture of the Tyrian shade be loved by emperors is one of the SO called lost arts.
 But these ancient vegetable dyes, some of which were in use when the mummy cloths were being made for the pyramid builders of Egypt, can never replace the coal-tar dyes, which during the 50 years since they were accidentally discovered, have revolu tionized the art of adding color to our clothes, our houses, our inks, oul shoes. our wallpaper. out hats, and oul book bindings. In fact, aniiine dyea furnish almost all of the modern tintl fOr which man Is responsible.

H.L.CROSS GRAND RECORDER

It was in 1856 that a young Eng fish chemist, while trying to produce artificial quinine, distilled from coal tar a substance which had a beautiful mauve tint. This was the first of the aniline dyes, dyes which have now been produced in nearly a thousand commercial shades, 400 of which are widely used. This young chemist, Will liam Henry Perkin, secured capital from his father and began the manu- facture of dyes, as a result of which he was knighted and amassed for tune. His discovery immediately at- tracted the attention of German man. ufacturers, who, aided by fa.-sighted bankers, employed university chem ists, and established dye plants on the Rhine and Main rivers, inaugurating an industry which has enjoyed phe- nomenal success. At the outbreak of the present great war 21 manufactur- ing establishments, most of them within an area of 130 square miles, had a practical world monopoly of the am iline dye trade.
 It is not coincidence that 12 of Germany's biggest dye factories are located at Essen, adjacent to the lead ing intuition plants of the Teutonic empire. The same coal tar which pro- duces dyestuffs also furnishes the es- I sentiai ingredients of the high explo- sives used in the shells of the 16-inch guns which battered down the forts of Liege, and which fill the head of the deadly submarine torpedo.
 1 Up to the time of Perkins epoch 1 making discovery, coal tar was the l despised by-product when coal was ] burned to produce coke and illuminat- ing gas. Today the once rejected third l product has become. as it were, the
 keystone in the manufacture not only of dyestuffs and high explosives, but of many perfumes, photograph dsvsi- I opers and innumerable medical com pounds known as coal-tar preparar

na, in S512 the picturesque Gaston de Folk completely routed the Spaniards under Cardona, but threw away his own life in the excitement of victory. It was in this battle that Captain Fabian, emulating the exploit of the legendary Swiss hero, Winkelried, see ing that his men could not break through the wall of Spanish spears, raised his long pike high over his head and brought it down crosswise with crushing force upon the oppos- ing arms, thus sacrificing his own life, but making a small gap in the ene- my's line, through which his own men rushed.
 Two names which shine in the gar land of Ravenna's renown are those of Italy's greatest poet and one of the four great epic writers of civilization. Dante and Lord Byron. It was in Ra- venna that the founder of the modern Italian language died in 1921, and here his body is treasured in an urn, be- meath a square-domed tomb Byron, during his Italian sojourn, lived in this city for two years, being attracted not merely by the famous Pineto (pine woods), five miles to the south, but by the charms of the Countess Guic- cioli. Nor should 1t be forgotten that in the adjacent marshes Anita, the 1 heroic wife of the Italian liberator Garibaldi, died of fatigue during her flight from the French in 1S49.

marshy plain which now surrounds the town at the confluence of the Men tone and Romeo rivers, was little more than a vast silt bed. The houses were built on piles, and at high tide the sea formed numerous lagoons, the salt wa ter so effectively removing the danger of malaria that the city soon acquired a reputation as a health resort, to which the gladiators of Rome were sent for training.
 Ravennas golden age came not with the Augustan era, however, but while the great Roman empires doom was being sealed. Honorius and his re- markable sister, Galla Placidia, becom- ing alarmed at the steady advance of the barbarian forces from the north, transferred their court from the Eter. nal city to the Adriatic port, which re mained the seat of government for Italy, not only during the few remain ing years of the Western empire. but throughout the ascendancy of the Greek emperors. Here the Byzantine viceroys, or exarchs, for the peninsula made their headquarters until the ad vent of the Lombards in the eighth century,,
 Many of the most fascinating epi sodes of history are associated with the name of Ravenna, such, for ex ample, as the tragic story of Odoacer who wrested the realm of Italy from Orestes, in 476, and then waged bitter war against Theodoric the Ostrogoth for many years, finally being shut uI in Ravenna, where he withstood g siege of three years. At length Odoa cer capitulated with the understanding that he and Theodoric should divide the Kingdom equally between them To celebrate the compact magnifi cent banquet was spread in famous laurel grovo, ana nere while tho SWs rulers fsesked tho Ostrogoth with hiI ovn nm I9V bls roysl rival.
