There Is no structure In the world
1ust like st. Marks In Venice. notes
the Kansas City Journal. Its bulb
shaped domes and minaretlike belfries
remind a visitor of the Orient. II
seems more like q mohammedan than
a Christian temple. In the facade are
scores Of variously cOlOred marble coll
umns, each one a monolith and all pos
sessing an eventful history. Some are
from Ephesus. others from Smyrna,
others from Constantinople and more
than one from Jerusalem.
St. Marks is the treasure house Of
Venice. place Of pride as well as
prayer. The work Of beautifying this
old church was carried on for five
centuries, and each generation tried
to outdo all that had preceded 1t. The
walls and roof are so prOfusely COW
cred with mosaics and precious mar
bles that it is easy to understand why
st. Marks has been called the Church
Of God"

his bravery and skill in making trip
over the ice Of the North Carolina
sounds on Jan. II. 1918. in the ships
boat. to which runners had been at

keeper Of the Roanoke Marshes light
house.
This part Of the North Carolina
sounds had been closed by ice for
nearly three weeks. and the assistance
rendered ~ Gray was greatly needed.
The currents through this sound are
strong and irregular. the ice badly
broken, dangerous. and unusually diff.
.ficult to traverse. and the trip made
by Gray was perilous and difficult.

Sale Of Liberty Bonds
Stirs Government Circles

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass today isued the following
statement:
1T has been called to my atten-
tion that large members of charit-
able organizations have from time to
time solicited contributions from the
people of the country and in their
appeals have stared that Liberty
bonds and war savings stamps would
be received in lieu of cash.
"These charitable people seem to
overlook the fact that as long as
the United States Government. is
under the necessity of selling addi-
tional amounts of it's bonds, the TAX
ing of bonds of previous issues by
such charitable organizations and the
consequent resale of such bonds in
the open market has a tendency to
depress the price and make it more
difficult for the Government to OBJ
tain the money it needs upon rea-
sonable terms. I therefore request
that charitable organizations re-
frain. from making any suggestion to
the public that they will accept Ii
berty Binds or War Savings Stamps
unless for endowment funds to be
held for permanent investment"

Louisiana and Texas Ex-

In Sugar Pro-

Much Cane Syrup Also Made
This Year Throughout
Two States

The total cane sugar output of the
United States for the current sea-
son (1918-19) is estimated .at $685.
100000 pounds. or about 42,O0O,OOO
pounds more than last year.
Preliminary returns from factories
indicate a probable out turn of 526,-
100000 pounds of sugar in Louisiana
for the current season. and the es-
timated amount of cane used for su-
gar is about 100000 tons Since
these returns for the 191S-19 season
were made before the factories had
completed their operations, the to-
tails estimated above are subject to
later revision. Last year (l9l7-l8)
487, 100000 pounds of sugar were made
from 3S13OO0 short tons of cane.
making an average of 128 pounds of
sugar for a ton of cane. The average
yield of sugar for the current sea-
son in Louisiana is forecast as about
1872 pounds per ton of cane.
The sugar crop of Texas in 1913
1o isestimated as 100000 pounds
or about 100000, more than last
season, and the sugar was made from
about $4,000 tons Of cane.
Cane Sirup.
The sirup made from the ribbon
cane crop of 1918 is estimated at &c.
10000 gallons. This is the first Of
ficial estimate Of cane sirup since
the census for 1909. when the produc-
tion was 23.O83,43o gallons. In MAX
ing this estimate care was taken not
to include sirup made from sorghum
cane or from Japanese cane.
The producing States in 1918 are
Louisiana, with 12,367,0OO gallons;
Alabama 8,1o5,o0O; Georgia 100000;

War Staff Explains The
Delay In Payments to
Soldiers From
Overseas
IComplaints Are Heard from Re-
l turning Soldiers on the
. Slowness of Sol
dier Pay

The War Department is in receipt
of some complaints concerning de-
lays in making payment in full to en-
listed men who are sick in hospitals
in this country These complaints
have reference to men who have re-
turned from overseas. and the situa-
rion is due to the fact that only )
per cent Of these men have service re-
cords or other official papers which
show the date of their last payment
and the status of their accounts with
respect to pay.
Partial payments have been regu-
larly made to these men. both upon
their arrival at Ports of Debarkation
in the United States, and at the hos
pitals to which they were sent, but
there have been no official papers
which would justify commanding Of
ficers in certifying pay rolls or final
statements to cover the full pay due
them.
On the 18th instant, a memoran-
dunn was addressed to the Chief of
Staff. pointing out that the only way
in which the men could be paid in
full was to arbitrarily accept their
own personal affidavit as to the sta
tus of their accounts. This recon-
mendation was approved by the Chief
of Staff. and all hospitals have been
furnished with copy of the approv-
ed recommendation. This approved
recommendation has also been pub
lished in the form of War Depart
ment Circular No. 148, which bears
date of December IA, 1918.
Everything possible to accomplish
payments to these men, either par
tial or in full, has been done by the
Department, and it is believed that
the action taken toward having these
men paid on their own affidavits will
remedy the situation which, as stated
above, is due solely to the fact that
the men have no official pay records.
