He also said that the estimated public expense for the next two years is given as $11,676. .265s .one item Of which is $4.456, 900 for improved highways
 .sThe attitude of the appropriations committee is to cut down on expenses -wh erever possible. About one-half of the appropriations asked for are fixed specifically by statute.
 Of the $2,623,4 ,436 called for by the education department. 6e per cent, is option than to pass favorably on that part The Judicial department calls for $1,431.e5o which is practically all statutory. a
 The Senator then added:
 'aThe matter of increasing salaries and of passing acts entai1ing a still larger expense to the state has already been brought to the attention of the committed Several bills of this character are now pending and l hope the senate and house will go carefully before they put the stamp of approval on them. The leaks which thave caused the ever-increas- ing debt to the state are found large ly in general statues.

Bree Wants to Know
 Whats on the Table
Special to the Farmer.


 Hartford, Feb. 11-Senator Bree of New Haven, precip1tated a lively de- bate in the senate. today, by moving that all matters laid on the table be printed in the calendar for the guild ance of the senators. He explained that such procedure would keep the members informed at all times on what, business was on the table
 Senator IsbeH, the majority leader, objected sttenuously to Senator Bree's proposition, maintaining that it would make the calendar cumbersome and that there was no need for such pro- cedure.
 Senator Isben said that Senator Bree's motion was aimed solely at the resolution appointing a tax expert, which was tabled in the senate a few days ago.
 Senator Purcell of Hartford, said that Senator Isbe1l's great soncitude in behalf of the tax expert bill, and his opposition to the plan to print the same along with other tabled measures might cause one to think that there was som ething funny about it" The debate closed when Senator Bree withdrew his motion in order that Senator Magee might make his scheduled speech on ap- propriations. Senator Magee's speech was rather lengthy and as his time was limited Senator Bree acceeded to his request that he might be heard immediately.

EASTERN ARENA IS CHIEF CONCERN OF
 BERLIN OFFICIALS

London, Feb. 11.-The situation in the eastern arena of the fighting is occupying the attention of the nili+ tary authorities in Berlin in very large degree, if reliance may be placed in news despatches reaching London from the continent According to these Emperor William returned hur- riedly to Berlin from the Polish war theatre and at once held a prolonged military conference, surnrnoIlings for this purpose General Won MoItlze, Count Won Au1enburg, General Von KesseI and nHmerouss other well known leaders. According to the cor respondents of certain neutral Danish newspapers, Emperor William finds the situation generally hopeful but he is described as greatly depressed over the terrible cost in men Ger many has had to pay in return for comparatively limited advances against the entrenched Russians.
 In the Far North
 In the extreme north, where the Russians have been conducting a flank movement against forces of Emperor William in East Prussia the situation is becoming clearer. The Germans thither and with the best men they expect to be able to stay the Russian advance. The Russians, however, would appear to be in position threat en1ng 1nSCerDuFg, rom which German town the population is reported to have been advised to depart until the present military operations are con- cluded.

 In the western arena of the war the fighting for the past few days has been of relatively small irnpor- tance, and the promised big effort of one side or the other is still de- layed pending the advent of more ia vorable weather conditions.

 tioned for the Place
Especial to Farmer )

Hartford. Feb. 11-Govs Ho1comb today sent to the Senate the nomina- ton of c. c. E1we1l to be public uti1i- ties commissioner for 8 term of 6 years from July 1, succeeding Theo- dore B. Ford of Bridgeport. MT. El- well is at present engineer and chief inspector for the commission. The position pays $5.0oo per year and ex- penses.
 The nomination of Mr. Elwen was something of a surprise to many Re- pubHcans, for his name had not been prominently mentioned among the long list of aspirants for the place. IA E. Winchester, who has charge of Norwalk municipal electric lighting plant, was among those in the race.
 Both houses must confirm the nom nation of MT. Elwell. Judge Fillmore s. Banks had been among those prominently mentioned for the place It was Gov. HoIcoEnb's desire to re- tain a practical engineer of the board. The promotion of MT. EIwell leaves vacant the office of chief inspector and a general scramble for that place is anticipated.

Diplomatic Correspondence of Germany and Great Britain Was Couched in Stronger Terms Than Had Been Supposed -Compli- cations Would Follow De- struction of American Vessel in War Zone.
Text of Correspondence is Likely To Be Published Tomorrow Emperor Will liam in War Council At Berlin on Hurried Return to Poland.

Washington, Feb. 11[The United States has warned Great Britain and Germany re- spectiveIy that general use of the American flag by British vessels would be viewed with grave concern here and that the destruction by Germany of any American vessel in the newly prescribed war zone would lead to serious compli-. cations.
 It became known today that the text of the two notes sent last night to Great Britain and Germany expressed much more emphatica1ly than had been generally known the dis pleasure of the United States at the use of neutral flags by Bri- tish merchantmen ag4 is so- l1fcitude over the implication that neutral vessels we're liable to destruction by German sub marines in the waters around Great Britain and Ireland.
 Tn official quarters it was declared unlikely that the use of the American flag by the L5usitania CT the Orduna would be selected for the subject of protest or diplomatic correspondence- The American government, however in its note, denies the right of gem eraI use of the American flag leaving. it is said, the inference that the one or two incidents which had occurred
 might have been justified under the circumstances. 4
 There is no question according to those who are familiar with the Amer ican governments position, that the issuance of any orders from the Brit fish admiralty as Germany alleges, au- thorizing the use of the American flag would be G1isapproved The British foreign office statement in that con- neetion is taken by officials here as tantamount to a suggestion to British vessels that they could hoist a neu- tral flag. It is to such an official and general countenance to the practice that the United States takes excep- tion.
