day live and keep shop among the
chapels and suites, the vestibules and
festal halls of the palace ruins.
Bright green shutters fare out like
post-lmpreSsionistic daubs of gaudy
color against the mellowed tints of
ancient stone columns and granite
pillars.
Spalato is intensely alive, tingling
with memories and pulsating with the
business hustle of what was, before
the war, the most important trade
center of the Dalmatian coast. The
dominant element of resident popu-
lation is Serbo-C rotian.
Remembered chiefly as a despot
and prosecutor, Diocletian's reign
was noteworthy for some govern
mental experiments usually consid-
cred ultra-modern. He adopted price
fixing for needful commodities, abol-
| ished inheritance taxes, swung a
mighty imperial stick against trusts
and graft, and acted as a sort of sub
limated trade booster for the empire
that he evolved from a republic.
Had Diocletian done nothing else
posterity would be grateful for his
country home. It's four noble gates,
two still standing; its cathedral, once
the mausoleum; its temple of Jupiter,
supposed to have been a private
school, are priceless treasures for
the student of architecture. The pal
ace discloses the earliest known ex-
ample of arches planted directly on
the capitals of the columns.
Salona was a principal port in Ro-
man times as Spalato is in the TWEEN
tieth century, and the city did a
! thriving trade in wines and oils. It's
population is about 10000.

WHOLE VILLAGE OF ESQUIMOS
is MOVED BY UNCLE SAM
A Unique Experiment Carried Out in
Alaska by Government.

A Unique Experiment Carried Out in
Alaska by Government.
A very interesting and wholly
unique experiment undertaken by the
government in Alaska has turned
a remarkable success.
At Deering, on the Arctic seacoast,
was a village of Eskimos. 1t was not
a happy village. For lack of timber
(the region being treeless) it's inhab-
itants were compelled to dwell in the
acknowledgement novels of their an
cestors. The killing off of the wal
rus and other game animals made
the problem of food supply increas-
ingly difficult.
In a word, they were cup against
it." They craved a new home, and
Uncle Sam decided to give them one.
For this purpose he picked out an
uninhabited tract on the banks of the
Kobuk rivera piece of land fifteen
miles square, with plenty of timber
on it and Astounding in game and
fish. 1t was set aside as a reservation
by executive order, and thither the
people of Deering migrated in the
summer of 1915.

SPALATO IS A CITY
BUILT in A HOUSE
NEARLY ALL OF THE CITY'S
100000 INHABITANTS LIVE
IN A SINGLE BUILDING.

If you build city in a mans
house, and the city grows, and grows,
until it outgrows the house, does the
city belong to the nation which is
heir of the man who built the house,
or to the nation of the city that CEN
tiers in the house?
Sounds like combination conun-
drum of the house that Jack built
and the mooted priority of egg or
chicken; but it is an exact statement
of the case of Spalato, contended for
by Jugo-Slavs and Italians. Feeling
runs so high that American and Brit
ish destroyers rushed there recently,
dispatches state, following the allie
cation of Italians that Jugo-Slavs
compelled ar Italian warship to haul
down its flag, according to the Ma
tional Geographic bulltein.
Spalato is unique for being city
founded and still largely contained
in house--in the palace that Diocle-
tan built when he voluntarily abdi-
Gated as Roman emperor in the early
fourteenth century. He betook him
self not to Elba or some reluctant
Holland, but to beauty spot in his
own domain which he chose for site
of a palace covering nearly 10 acres.
Town Within Palace Walls.
Diocles or Dioclea was born near
Salona, three miles from Spalato. So
after he made a success in life, which
consisted in those days of getting
crown rather than a fortune, he re-
turned to the place of his humble
birth. as many an American million
aire has done, and became the citi-
zen that made his home town famous.
Three centuries after Diocletian
died, and his palace in the meantime
had been converted into a cloth fac
tory and then deserted, Salona was
overTun successfully by Huns, Goths
and Avars. Inhabitants fled to the is
lands along the Dalmatian coast and
after the storms of invasions blew
over 'dug into" the Gargantuan pal
ace, and thus founded Spalato.

GREENSBORO MARKET Is
SHORT OF CORN AT
TWO DOLLARS A BUSHEI

The greensboro Grain company
states there is not much corn on
the market at the present time,
though it is receiving a few loads
every day. The price in Owens
boro is 50 the bushel. In Daviess
the farmers, IL they have corn at
all, do not have it in any great
quantities now, probably from SO
to $50 bushels. The farmers of
Daviess are bringing in their corn
as they have time during the rush
of the farm work.
Walter Bottom corn growers on
Monday sold $4,000 bushels of corn
to the A. Waller Grain company,
at So delivered on the Ohio river
bank. OF this amount $4,000 bush
els belonged to Col. r. II. Coaper.
This sale cleans up all saleable corn
on the river bottom farms in Hen
dersOn county at the highest price
ever paid for corn delivered on the
river.

THE PAY OF SOLDIERS

It may be source of surprise to
masy people to learn that the Amer
ican army was not the highest paid
in the world war. The Anzacs had
very decided shade upon the
Yanks in this respect, according 10
figures issued by the general staff.
These show that the private sol
diers of Australia, New Zealand
and Canada received, higher pay
than those of the United States, al
tnouph the Americans ourfankcd
Great Britain, Germany, France,
Austria Hungary, japan and Italy
In that order.
When the pay of American pri-
vate soldiers was fixed at $40 a
month, It was generally supposed
they would outclass all others. But
1t is found that Australia paid $43.
SO a month, New Zealand $3.50
and Canada $33. The lowest-paid
soldiers we're the Italians, who re-
ceivod but So cents a month.
Among noncommissioned officers
the United States ranked third in
the rate of pay, corpofals receiving
$50, sergeants $3S asd regimental
sergeants major $51. But Austria
liza paid the most to her noncommis
stoned officers, giving corporals
$72.90, sergeants $76.5O and regi-
mental sergeants major $94.S0,
while Canada was next with pay Of
$50 for corporals, $45 for SER
gesnts and $54 for regimental SER
geants major. 1t is stated by the
general staff that the food and
clothing allowances are very large
ly the same for all armies.
Perhaps If all the circumstances,
such as allotments to relatives, in
surance, &C., were taken into con-
sideration it would be found that
the American soldier really receiv-
ed higher pay than is shown upon
the face of the statistics. In any
event 1t may be said that the gov
eminent adopted liberal policy in
this respect, and the pay schedule
was not ubsject to general criti-
cism.

WILSON'S TOUR TO WEST
COAST BEING DELAYED
Will Not Leave Before August rs;
To See More Republican
Senators

Washington,-Pr Wilson
will not leave on his speech-making
tour before August Is, and posi-
bly, not until late in August. This
was indicated tonight by a formal
announcement by Secretary Dan
iels, after a conference at the White
House, that the review of the new
ly organized Pacific fleet at San
Francisco, originally set for Aug
ust Is, had been postponed in or
der that the president might be
present.
Shortly before Mr.. Daniels con-
ferred with the president, it was
announced Mr.. Wilson would re-
sumo conferences with Republican
senators tomorrow. AS there re-
main thirty-three Republican sena-
tors the president has not invited
to the White House it is believed
the conferences with those oppos-
ing the League of Nations, will re-
quire about ten days.
Mr. Daniels said informally he
had received the impression the
president will start his tour be-
tween August 20 and 80.

POLICY ARE CHARGED
Sherman Says President And
Echoes Frequently Have
Changed Position.

President Wilson and his "cehoes 4
in the senate have repeatedly changed
position on United States foreign policy,
Senator Sherman, Illinois, declared to-
day.
Sherman, speaking on the senate floor
said that President Wilson and Senator
Hitchcock were both strong advocates
of neutrality in European quarrels and
demanded that this country keep out OF
foreign quarrels about the time the Lus-
Iitania was sunk, while now, he said,
they are seeking to commit the United
States to an exactly opposite policy.
He quoted literally from the presi-
dent IS pre-war speeches in attempting to
prove his point.
Referring to the presidents Is statement
at St. Louis that the United Statef
should advance four or five billions to
|rchabilitate Europe, Sherman said:
aWhere are the four or five Billions
