 In creating the Old Glory Indus trial, we do not feel that we can pos sibly succeed without enlisting the sympathy and moral support of our union and confederate veterans. Without going into details, if l had wealth at my command I would erect a most magnificent building, having two spacious wings. I would ded- cate one wing to Lee and the other to Grant; in the one I would place the picture and autobiography of Lee, in the other the picture and autobiography of Grant.

THE HORSES OF ST. MARK.

When Italy declared war on Austria
in May, 1915, the famous horses of
St. Mark were taken down from the
terrace above the main portal of st.
Marks church, and stabbed under an
arch on the ground floor of the Ducal
palace But now, this would not
obviate their being carried off to
Vienna or Berlin should the Huns
reach Venice, just as Napoleon car
ried them off to Paris in 1897. Ac-
cordingly, they were removed from
the Doge's Palace, put on board a
warship and taken to Ancona. There
they were unshipped, conveyed to
the railway station. and sent off to
Rome, where they arrived few days
| ago In Rome they have found a
| quiet and secure resting place in the
old Castle of st. Angelo, across the
Tiber, where it is to be hoped they
will remain until victory crowns the
efforts of the Allies and peace returns
to the world when they will make a
return journey to Venice.
Perhaps 1 may here be allowed to
rectify very prevalent error in re-
gard to est. Marks Horses" They

bronze, and if so, they must have

PRINTERS FAKE
BREAD CARDS
(Germania, Nov. g, 1879

The story about the 1000 stolen
thread cards seems to be a case of
lprohteering, partly professional collu-
sion and fraud, which yesterday under
the heading "Winkelmann and COM
Ipanions brought seven persons before
the fourth criminal section of the first
county court" These bread cards
were derived from the thievery of two
youthful apprentices in a printery. in
which food cards were made. The
apprentices got in league with Kurt
iWinke4mann, a workman well known
to them, who, with the help of other
accused, attended to the selling of the
stolen cards. On an average of 80 pr
was paid them for each one, which
naturally by means of Chain" rap
idly became very dear. Consequently
the thousands of bread cards earned
for the apprentices thousands Of
marks, in spite of the proportionately
dow selling price. In this way, they
received at one time alone 1000 marks.
winkelmann himself was cheated,
robbed and defrauded in these trans
actions by the others at various times.
ON one occasion 300 bread cards were
stolen from his coat pocket, another
time he was given in payment a
sealed envelope which was alleged to
contain 1000 marks, but really only
contained a 10-mark note, hidden in
a local newspaper. Three of the
.profteers received one year in the
mouse of correction, two four months
respectively, one year Imprisonment
Winkelmann six months in prison
Ono was acquitted.

a true guest of this wonderful Por-
tuguese host of mine. I felt guilty
that T had to be insincere and was
planning to betray him while he was
intensely sincere.
Now for Big Drive
After much earnest solicitation on
his part I consented to unveil and
smiled timidly at him as he conduct
ed me formally to my seat at the ia
BILE. On a small table on my right
stood five or six bottles of wine "at
attention like soldiers on parade
ground. Before taking his seat Lo-
peg again bowed low and in the atti-
tude of introducing me to the small
table, he said: Madame, they are
awaiting your wishes
It is one of the principal require
ments of the Service that one must
know how to partake of wine judi
ciously. One must drink, and drink
unsparingly, without giving way to
its influence. So 1 selected one which
he set on the table in front of me.
The entertainment that followed,
like the manner of my host, had
something princely about it. He was
a gentleman, that Lopez-a man with
the heart of a child and the magma
ton of a poet. I saw, so far, nothing
crazy about Him.

LAW HARD WITH

Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger, Nov

(Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger, November
%, 1919
A criminal procedure of some i'm
portance, which throws light upon
the vegetable situation in Berlin dur
ing the past winter, will engage the
attention of the court in Kottbus for
several days next week. Stopper. a
greengrocer of Berlin, and u farmers
from Spreewald are accused of charg-
ing more than the maximum price
and of war profiteering. Between De-
cember, 1915, and March, 1917, Stop
per, partly by his own efforts, partly
through the Others who are under in
dictment in this case, had little by
little bought up 1000 hundredweight
of carrots and had deposited them in
Berlin. The maximum allowed in
Spreewald, 4 marks per hundred
weight, was disregarded and a hun
dredweight was sold for as much as
40 marks in Berlin. The scarcity of
vegetables at that time made possible
such high prices, even though the
goods frequently reached Berlin in a
frozen condition due to the heavy
frost

ITALY FLOATING
ITS FIFTH LOAN
DURING The WAR

Rome, March 18-"A man must be
either fool or a traitor to refuse to
subscribe to a war loan," declared
Prime Minister Orlando in connection
with Italy's fifth loan which has
brought in about 100000, 900. 'HThe
nation needs the money to carry on
the war and if there are enough fools
and traitors among US not to subscribe,
then the government will simply take
what it needs by high taxes
The result of the new loan, how
ever, proved satisfactory and the ex-
IRENE measures of unusual taxes will
not have to be applied. War loans
have come to be quite a customary
proceeding and the Italian public has
each year made new subscriptions in
response to the advertising campaigns
of the secretary of the treasury and
the banks.
One of the features of the war loan
has been the frankness of the news
papers and particularly of Secretary
of the Treasury Nitti regarding finan-
cial facts. There's no use trying to
fool the public regarding national
finances" he said. eve need the
money. We are paying nearly six per
cent. interest to get it. It's a good in
vestment. The italian government will
always pay it's debts. It's an inter
national fact that it does so. AS far
back as 1866, when it had to offer
eight and ten per cent. interest, it
adopted the policy of standing by it's
pledges, and it will always do So"
Confidence in the Italian loans have
for several years been shown by the
Americans living in Italy.
To the present time the war has
cost Italy about $4,O00,O00,O 900, two
thirds of which money has been spent
on the army or land forces and the
other third on the navy. OF this
$4,000, 100000, $500, 100000 have
been raised by war loans, $500, 900
by taxes and about 1000 900, coo by
special treasury bonds placed prin-
cipally in England and the United
States for the purpose of paying for
war purchases

BELGIAN STAND
Prevented The
FALL OF PARIS
Appeal Made in This Coun-
try for Funds to Provide
Soldier Comforts.

Senator Henri La Fontaine of Bel
GUM, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1912, and President of the Execu-
tive Committee in charge of raising
the funds in America to supply gifts
for Belgian soldiers, authorizes the
following:
"a great misapprehension exists to-
day in the minds of the American
public. 1t seems to think that the
entire Belgian army is interned with
the rest of the population of Belgium
within the German lines. From this
it is assumed that the Belgian Relief,
which has provided for the support OF
these people includes the soldiers and
! that the soldiery are, as lee were, a
mere inanimate part of the military
activities.
THE contrary is the case. These
soldiers subsist on ten cents day,
! their official compensation, which
! comes to them from the seat of the
Belgian government at Havre. For
everything else, to meet the privations
of their work, support must come
from the populations of other coun-
tries.
THE Belgian army is under the
& direct command of King Albert him
I self. He resides in the 300 square
miles of unoccupied Belgium. These
men. for three and half years, have
been paid ten cents a day. The seat
of their activities in the lowlands OF
Flanders is the most uncomfortable
and oppressive of all locations al
which any of the Allied forces are sit
uated.
But for the stand of the Belgian
army for two weeks at Liege, under
General Lemaune, nothing could have
prevented the Germans from reaching
Paris. AS it was, they reached a
distance which is within half an
hours ride in an automobile from
Paris.
But for this two weeks of delay
this half hours distance could nave
been covered by the German soldiers
and Paris would have been INFESTED

Ush could have interposed to prevent
