BRITISH OFFICIAL ORGAN
REACHES 25OTH YEAR
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON, November S.-The London
Gazette, the most austere and formal
of all English newspapers, is this
month celebrating it's 250th birthday.
The vast majority of Londoners have
never seen the Gazette, and many live
in ignorance even of the existence of
such a newspaper. For it is the official
organ of the British government, and
it's circulation is limited to official
circles or to those who are willing to
pay the fixed price of 25 cents copy
In the ordinary course of events the
Gazette is published every Tuesday and
Friday, but when occasion arises
special supplements are issued at s
cents each. Since the outbreak of the
war several of these supplements have
been issued each week. and there has
occasionally been sufficient demand
from relatives of those mentioned in
the official dispatches to demand the
reprinting Of a particular edition.
"Gazetted" is an expression frequent
ly used in England to designate that
some official statement or action has
received the formal sanction implied
by publication in the governments
newspaper. The Gazette is in many
cases prescribed by parliamentary en-
actment as the appropriate medium for
announcements OF ofnclal acts and ap-
pointments. Though the man in the
street rarely sees the Gazette, he fire.
Quently reads its announcements in
directly, for most of its valuable official
Information is Immediately reproduced
in the daily newspapers
The earliest issue of the official jour-
nal goes back to the reign of Charles
l, but there is a little diversity of opin-
ion as to the exact date. Some au-
thorities give it as November 7, 1865,
while others favor November IA of the
same year.
There are similar publications for
Scotland and Ireland, published, re-
spectively, in Edinburgh and Dublin.
The former was first issued in 1890 and
the latter in I'LL.

DUMMY MACHINE GUNS.
Austrians Have Novel Plan to Scare
Off Attacking Enemy.
nee OF the Associated Press.

CORES espondeDce OF the Associated Iress
PETROGRAD. November S.-Dummy
machine guns. which make 4 noise like
the real thing and thereby scare off
the attacking enemy, are reported to
be one of the latest innovations tried
by the Austrians on the southern front.
1t is a well known fact that infantry,
once loosed on a charge upon trenches
defended with rapid-flre guns. are apt
to swerve instinctively from points
where the Maxims seem to be thickest-
However dense the roar Of heavy ar
tillery during attacks, the short. sharp
barking of these little guns is still dis
tinctly audible. In order to increase
the psychological effect OF machine-gun
fire, the Austrians, therefore, hit upon
the plan of mounting in their trenches,
alternately with real Maxims, large
proportion of dummies. These produce
a rattle identical in sound with that of
the real gun and are operated by rap
idly turning a handle.

ANXIETY IN BRITAIN
FOR SHIP CHARTERS
UnfairneSs Claimed in Govern

sitioning Vessels.
ENGLISH FEAR NEUTRALS
WILL CONTROL THE SEAS
Charterers Are Unable to Persuade
Officials to Decide Upon Any
One Plan.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
LONDON. November 13.-Shipping
circles are experiencing the keenest
anxiety over the failure of the govern
ment to agree on a plan for better
control of the British mercantile ma
rine. Within the last three weeks the
government has announced and subse-
quently Cancelled plans for exercising
some measure of state control over
. shipping, and the fourth plan, which
was to have been issued in the form of
an order in council, has not yet ap-
peared in full detail.
With the outbreak of the war the
government, through the admiralty
began to requisition merchant ships,
but in spite of the repeated requests of
the shipowners for the forma tion of
a committee of their members to in
! sure some system of uniformity in
requisitioning ships. nothing Of the
sort was done, with the result that the
authorities were soon flooded with
complaints that many companies had so
many of their ships taken that their
factivities were. crippled, while rivals
kept control of their normal tonnage
Rates Are Soaring.
With the scarcity of tonnage, rates
began to climb until the effects on
Englands vital problem of imports be-
came too serious to be ignored further
The first step taken by the govern
| ment to assert control, except the con-
ventional requisition of ships for ad-
miralty purposes, consisted in the issue
of blacklist of neutral shipping sus-
pected of employing German capital or
of being engaged in unneutral services
This blacklist did not prevent charter
| ing of boats on it, and was succeeded
! by an order in council which provided
| for seizure and condemnation of any
neutral ship even partly owned by Ger
man capital
Apparently, the government was finally
| moved to take drastic action by the i'm
mense earnings of shipping companies.
A plan was communicated to owners
whereby the government proposed
| nothing less than the requisition of the
| entire British mercantile marine. This
| plan contemplated regulating the
| trades in which British ships could en-
gage, thereby giving better control of
| imports and exports, and frankly pro-
posed using 1t to increase the govern
| ment revenues. This was to be done by
| giving the owners what would be
| high rate in normal times. and charg-
| ing the charterers the existing rate,
| the difference to find it's way into the
| national exchequer This plan never
| got beyond the shipping men, who
smothered it under an avalanche of
protest.

ALL QUIT WAR CAMP
TOATTEND THE RACES
Interned Civilians in Hungary Are
Treated With Great
Lienency.
Correspondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary. November g.
fnterned civilians in many parts of
Hungary are treated so ieniently as to
justify the recent statement that their
internment Is little more than formal.
Most of the foreigners who remained
in Hungary after the first month or
two of the war were of long stand
ing in their communities and are not
even regarded as in any way a menace
to the welfare to the community. Al
though actually forced to live in form
ally assigned internment camps, the
trusted aliens are given leave whenever
they have good reason to assign For
example, recently the entire population
only 24-of an internment camp near
Budapest, were given a weeks leave
to attend the races at Vienna. The
Hirlap tells why they were compelled
to return before their leave was up:
No One at Home.
"A party of visiting neutral journal
lists was being shown the capital a few
days ago, and they asked if it would be
possible for them to visit one of the
Hungarian internment camps. Applica-
ton was made to the minister of the
lIiteIloI, anu ueSiS
ed the camp at Alag, a village near the
capital, where twenty-four enemy
aliens are interned.
Two days before the date fixed for
the visit the official in charge of in
ternment camps rang up his Alag
subordinate in order to advise him that
visitors were coming and that he should
put. the colony in order. The follow
ing conversation followed:
See that everything is in order
at your camp. as a dozen neutral news
paper men are coming to inspect your
prisoners
when are they coming?
Tuesday at noon
But that's impossible
Why
Because the prisoners are not at
home
Where are they them
Gone to Horse Races.
"They went to Vienna to the horse
races
"'Well then, the newspapermen will
have to put up with those who re-
main,' suggested the Budapest official.
Yes indeed came the reply. but
took their women folk with them. You
see one cannot very well give per-
mission to four or five and ignore the
rest | had to let all of them GO
The Budapest official scratched his
head a minute and then ordered tele-
grams sent to the prisoners in Vienna
asking them to return at once, with
his apologies for disturbing their holi-
day"
