Just across the historic Potomac overlooking the capital of the nation from a commanding Duff is the no- bleSt of American cemeteries, and from the midst of it's verdant green is re f1ected in the morning sunlight won- derful edif1ce of snow-white marble. It is the new Memorial amphitheater, the most splendid monument to the heroic dead ever erected by any nation. In beautiful Arlington lie buried more than 26O00 men, Union soldiers and sailors of the Civil war, from private and seaman to general and admiral, Confederate soldiers, soldiers of the Spanish war and soldiers and sailors of the regular army, navy and marines who have died in times of peace. It is the highest of honors to be eligible to burial in Arlington and while major generals and second lieutenants lie side by side near the men they com manded in battle, not one civilian, no matter what his influence, may find burial within its confines. Nor could one wish to lie down to final rest in more beautiful surroundings.
 Over every foot of the slopes and vales of this magnificent reservation the national government provides for most perfect care; the grass Is kept green and cut and the bushes and shrubs cared for as in 8 royal park, while near the old Lee mansion the ffagrant wistaria climbs over an ex- fensive trellis where the Memorial day exercises have always been held, on all sides Towering shrubs contributing their living beauty and perfume to the impressive ceremonies on this day of the nations remembrance. Every President of the United States since the Civil war, except one, has felt hon. ored " an invitation to speak at Ar lington on Memorial day.

rounding the amphitheater grow the place will increase in beauty and maj esty.
 The first national cemetery was es- tablished at Gettysburg to make an honored resting place for those who on that great battlefield gave their lives that the nation might live, and then came the inspiration to make at Arlington a cemetery that would be national in its widest sense. To pro- vide this final resting place for the na- tion's dead, the government paid to the heirs of Gen. Robert E. Lees wife, $150,OO0 for property which had been assessed in 1860 at $35,000.

 The workingman earned lire a day before the war and was able to support his family comfortably upon that sum. Today he earns from 25 to 30 lire day, but cannot keep his fam fly as well as he could before, because rent has increased 600 per cent, and food and clothing from 800 to 800 per cent. Building is going on all over Naples, especially by the banks, which, during the war, made huge fortunes in exchange and are now erecting handsome offices. The municipality is also having the entire city repaved. The work employs hundreds of men who sit down and smoke their pipes comfortably while they chip the cor ners off the big flat stones, and look as if they would be on the job for years.

house to be careful of their pocket books and passports, as the Neapolitan purse. snatchers are famous in police circles all over Europe for the dex- terity of their fingers. The police were notified of the loss of the pass ports belonging to the two Americans, but they were not recovered.
 All intending immigrants seeking American risks have to produce their permits to leave the country, military papers (if they are males), vaccina- tion certificate and the dossier from the chief of police of their district to have ever been preferred against them. The American authorities have not interfered with the inspection at the dock before embarkation, as they left that to the officials of the steam ship companies. The Navigation Gen erale, the White Star and other lines sailing from Italian ports have organ ized their own sanitary plants where the immigrants are put through a thorough examination before they are permitted to go on board the ships. The inspection is done by the Italian doctors from the steamships and the doctor of the port.
 First, a Bath.
 The first thing the immigrant has to do is to take a bath and if neces- sary to have a shave and a haircut. Whiskers and boards are barred un- der this ruling and only mustache is allowed.
 While they are undergoing the cleansing process the clothing of the immigrants is inspected and thorough ly disinfected. They are vaccinated again, to make sure that the opera tion has been properly done, and are then permitted to embark for the United States It Is not the fault of the Italian officials or the steamship companies if the immigrants are not clean when they leave Naples.
 If the surplus population of Italy does not go to the United States 1t will ge to Brazil or Argentina or some other country in South America, because the people must emigrate, as there are too many to earn living in their own country There are so many  young men walking about Naples now that it is difficult to believe that Italy has just emerged from a long war. The reason for this, according to the government officials, is that the birth rate increases by leaps and bounds each year and the children grow more rapidly into manhood than they do in colder climes. With the new countries recently taken by Italy after the war the population is reckoned at 4O,OOO,- OOO
