ENGLISH PEOPLE ARE
 INTERNEe IN VIENNA To Offset Treatment of Austrians in ReIIigerent Countries.

Venice. via Paris. ov. 20. TAI p. m. The police of Vnenna are adopting much. more severe measures against English people remaining in that city. During the past few days many Brit ishers have been arrested and intern ed and the rest. irrespective of age or sex, are now forbidden to leave their homes between 8 o'clock in the eve ming and 6 o'clock in the morning or to visit cafes or other public places.
 An official announcement states that these steps have been taken 'in view of the wretched situation of Austrians and Hungarians interned in beHigerent states. especially England" and that as a consequence of the condition of informed subjects of Austria Hungary, the treatment of citizens of hostile countries who are residents of Vienna, particularly the British, will be much more severe. The statement says that these measures will be enforced so long as thereS is no certainty that Austrian subjects fin England are be- ing accorded better treatment"
 It is added that foreigners who are interned will be well treated.

 It is considered quite probable that as a result of the mining of several Turkish ports and the sensitiveness of the Ottoman government on account of the presence of foreign warships, even of neutral nations near her coast, the American cruisers may be kept at ChioS Greece, or some of the nu- merous islands belonging to Greece which are but a half days sail from Asia Minor. For the present the Ten nessee is being held at Chios, while the North Carolina is at eirut, Asia Minor.
 Commander Not ko Take Initiative.
 The captain of the latter ship, how ever, sent his message to the navy de- pertinent from Alexandria. Egypt. Both commanders had been asked to acknowledge receipt of Secretary Dan iels' orders as officials here were par ticularly anxious that the naval com manders take no action of their own initiative, the naval regulations giving officers ordinarily wide discretion un- der such circumstances.
 The Tennessee and North Carolina will not be withdrawn from the west ern Mediterranean. it was stated today at the navy department, no matter where the responsibility for the firing lay. The vessels will be kept within easy reach of Turkish ports to afford every assistance possible to distressed Americans should emergencies arise.

CONDITIONS IN BELGIUM
 BECOMING MORE SERIOUS
Refugees Are Pouring Into Brussels at
 the Rate of 25,oOo a Day.

London, Nov 20, $40 D. m.-Not- withstanding the amount of relief work which is being done for the Belgians, conditions there in the larger cities as we'll as the rural districts. are becom- ing more serious. Jean Van Bran den. a member of the Belgian national relief committee, who arrived here to- day from Brussels to consult the American relief commission said that the situation in Brussels was growing more alarming constantly, as refu- gees are pouring into that city at the rate of 25,000 day.
 This influx he said, ~is due to a lack of fuel as we'll as of food. Brus- sels has plenty of coal. but the inter ruption of transportation makes it in- possible to carry coal to remote yiI- laSes. Refugees are focking to Liege and other large towns, as we'll as to Brussels.
 "The people are entirely dependent on kerosene for both heating and cook ing and t1e supply of this fuel also is becoming scarce. The committee is receiving petitions every day for supplies of oil
 we are grateful to the American commission for the 17,000 tons of food which has been distributed in Belgium since the first of November. We have an ample number of volunteer workers to attend to the distribution of these supplies, but the lack of transportation facilities has prevented us from reach ing many remote villages which are in sore need of assistance.
