MESSAGES FOR RELIEF OF
 ITALIANS TRANSMITTED
They VIII Be Free Over Domestic
 Postal Wires If Authoritative.

Announcement Is made by the local manager of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company, W. A. Sheppard, man. ager, that his company will accept free domestic messages with reference to the Italian relief work when offered by reg ularly authorized relief committees or by public officials.
 All applications for the transfer or funds are to be referred to banks or to the Red Cross Society. which Is the proper medium of such transfer!
 It is also announced by the local manager of the company. that instruc- tions with regard to cable service to the stricken community will be prepared as soon as possible. This is made neees- sary because of the fact that govern ments control lines beyond London, and it Is necessary to consult proper ond- cials of these companies before making announcement of free messages.

passerby. 1t was gazing fixedly at
four young weasels under the hedge,
which were approaching in a semi
circle, apparently to surround it. Just
then warning cry was heard from
behind. uttered presumably by the
parent weasel, and the young ones dis
appeared in the hedge. The bird still
remained powerless and immovable,
and only after repeated urging did it

terror which had arrested it's facul.
