SPECIAL HONORS
CONFERRED ON
AN AMERICAN
VKN’ICK. May (by maili. The
silken standard of the proud old re j
public of Venice, known as (lie (ion
faint! of San Marco, now hits a place
Df honor in the American consulate)
in Venice, and upon American Consul I
It. Harvey Carroll, Jr . has been con
ferred the distinction of being a Hon
I falonier of Kan Marco, or standard
| bearer of the Venetian Hag.
’t is the tirst time in the history
I of Venice that such a distinction has
^ been given to any foreigner, and it
reflects the feeling of the city toward
■ the American representative for the)
) attention he lias given their interests i
during the trials of the last six!
months with the enemy on the I’iave!
| only fifteen miles east of Venice,
Throughout the political changes of
j Venice the city has preserved the cm
I Idem which marked its greatest glory,
when us the Venetian republic she
was mistress of the Adriatic and the
eastern Mediterranean and was
strong enough to defeat the Turks
and conquer Constantinople. The
winged lions of St Mark are the most
familiar emblem, and they are not,
only seen in Venice and all the sur-j
I rounding cities of the Venetian prov-[
inee, but in Corfu and all along the
roast of Dalmatia and Croatia.
Another of these emblems Is a
doge's ring, conferred in the old days
on Venice as a symbol of the suzer
ainty of the “Ocean's Queen" over
the sea. But the proudest relic of
the past is the Gonfalon of San Marco,
or standard of the famous old repub
lic. It Is one of the possessions of
the city, and the municipal council
guards its use and designates the few
who are privileged to carry it. the des
ignation carrying with it the title of
Gonfalonier of San Marco
It was a notable ceremony at the I
city council chamber when the rank;
of standard-bearer of the Venetian I
flag was conferred on Consul Carroll.
I more as art evidence of personal
esteem than in his official capacity.
With the mayor and councilors of
Venice were the admiral of the port
and the high officers of the army and
navy. Addresses were exchanged and
toasts drunk, expressing the feeling
toward the council and the cordial re
lations existing between Italy and the
United States.
Following this a delegation of the
city fathers proceeded to the Ameri
can consulate, bearing one of the
silken gonfalons of San Marco, and
gave it into the hands of the new
standard-bearer. Tho standard Is of
heavy silk, richly edged with gold
fringe, with a gilded staff topped by
the lions of San Marco

NO DAMAGE ID DONE
BE HIGH WATEH WESTWARD
ANFIIORAOK. July *>.- While the
flood waters this season in the Tal
keetna and Susitna rivers were un
i usually high, no material damage was
occasioned to the grade of the gov
ernment railroad
Tin* Talkeetna river flows into the
Susitna river at a point about lit! miles
north of Anchorage. Near the junc
tion of the two streams and for
stretches of considerable length south
of here, the Susitna river parallels the
railroad Flood waters at times reach
the grade but this year they did not
Injure it.
The movement of ice this year at
the break up in the Susitna river
manifested especially terrific force.
The ice badl\ eroded the banks of
the river.

ITALIAN PAPERS NO LONGER
SENT TO FOREIGN LANDS
HOMK. July To prevent the cen- j
tral empire spies from conveying in-j
formation, the personal columns of j
Italian newspapers circulating in
Switzerland and other countries have
been suppressed in foreign editions.
It was shown during the trial of an
Itulian engineer, one Cesaro Santoro,
convicted of conveying information to
the enemy, that he had inserted his in
formation in the newspapers in the
form of love letter advertisements.
The foreign editions of the news
papers now leave the country with
the advertisement space blank. The
Austrians, to show that they can not
tie altogether circumvented, it has
been found, fill this blank with news
matter injurious to Italy, and then |
have the editions scattered over tIn* I
Italian front by airplanes, in the hope,
that Italian soldiers will read the |
newspapers and accept as legitimate j
Italian news the matter inserted in j
the blank spaces by the Austrians.
