SY'RACUSE, Island of Sicily, March
.30 The war, enriching so many ship
owners and seaports of the Mediter
rate an, has all but completed the ruin
of Syracuse, once the world's richest
port, and the center of its commerce.
So hard has the war hit this port
that it became an important event
recently when the six men of the crew
of the little American schooner A1
bania got up her creaking anchor,
Proke the Stars and Stripes, and sailed
away homeward. With the departure
of this ship seemed to fade the last
hope of the 23,000 people who live
here, a paltry handful left from the
half million who once were proud to
date their prosperity from 600 B. C.
