Nancy out from New York and the
work of writing to send her back
home to rescue her beloved Redfields
from the poor management OF her
father. on the one hand. and from the
up-to-date land owner on the other.
This mission on the part of Nancy

tussle with run n-down soil. mortgages,
disheartened father and covetous

DAMASCUS A BEAUTIFUL CITY
HONS, Hama and AIeppo Also Are
Among the Near East's At
tractive Places.

Damascus is considered one of the
most beautiful cities of the East. All
along the road from Beirut to this an
cient city in the desert there are camel
trains. almost in a continuous line,
carrying the grain of the plains to the
sea and bringing back the produce OF
the Western world. The bazaars OF
Damascus are the most interesting in
the Near East, although they are not
so extensive as those of CONSTANT
nople. After Damascus, HONS and
Hama, on the road to Aleppo, attract
attention, set as they are in the midst
Of Wild desert country, but refreshed
by never ending water. HONS is the
center of Il great grazing country,
and Hama, with its ancient wa
tt.rwl cells pumping water in print
tive fashion, is the center of an inn
pertant silk industry and market.
Aleppo is source of delight, for her
bazaars are more primitive than those
OF any other city in the country and
for the same reason full of charm.
One can buy any produce of the Near
and Farther East from these mer-
chants. the produce of the looms of
Persia. the silk of China, brought
thousands of miles by caravan, and
wonderful brass and inlay work.

D'Annunzio Burns His
Medals on Altar to Hero

Brescia, Italy.-Gabriele d'Annunzio
refused a silver medal for military

ministry of war to replace one of
bronze. In rejecting the bestowal the
poet-soldier declares he has burned all
his decorations, of which he received
16 for bravery. including the highest
gold medal award of the Italian army,
on an altar erected at his villa.
The altar is made of rock hewn out
of Monte Grappa, where one of the
fiercest battles between the Austrian
and italian armies in the late war took
place. Underneath the altar repoSes
the body of d'Annunzio's own unknown
soldier, and he offers sacrifices by
burning laurel leaves.
He announced he would not receive
any person who intended to present
medals, crosses or diplomas
