CURTA|L PASSPORTS
FOR WRITER'S OF U. S.
State Department Decides Upon
New Policy Of Newspaper
Men Going to Europe.

The Government of the United States
has announced a new policy with re-
spect to passports to American writer's
who intend to visit the war zone OF
Europe. It does not propose to have
writer's get passports and use them for
unncvtral purposes. The State Depart
ment made this announcement:
''The number Of newspaper writer's
who have applied for passports has
caused the department to rulc that
hereafter It will Issue passports to
writer's who contemplate visiting bellig-
erent countries only when they are reg
ularly accredited to the department by
responsible journals or recognized press
associations.
The department will not issue pass
ports to individuals who are paid or
expect to be paid by the agents Of for
eign governments for matter which they
may publish.
Before issuing passports to writer's
the department must be assured that
their purposes are OF a neutral char
acter.
"The department will not issue pass
ports to writer's who contemplate go
Ing from the territory OF one belligerent
to that Of the enemy.
THE object OF this ruling Is to In
sure the continued neutrality Of the
United States and to prevent individ-
uals from putting their safety in
jeopa rdy."
II is generally believed that the Arch
bald case was In part the cause OF the
new ruling.

AMERICAN GIRL SUES
HER TURK HUSBAND
Vivid Beauty Of Twenty Declares
His Religion and Views Are
Too Subtle For Her.

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 3.-The Orient
and the Occident did not harmonize nor
merge their respective skies into one
above the roof tree Of Ahmed Abdullah.
a Turk. and Mrs. Alice Ftnlah Abb
dullah. a beautiful American girl. 20
there Is on file an action on her part
for divorce. and a petition that her
name may be disorientalized to tho ex-
tent Of removing the "Abdullah."
1T wasn't that he smoked long pipe
with large bowl and had me curled
on a rug at his feet" says Mrs. Abb
duilah. HE had adopted many Ameri-
ically different from me. He never
wanted me to 20 out. not even to see
my mother. And, Of course"
Mrs; Abdullah; herself. answers the
being herself; that is. a vivid and zest-
ful girl OF twenty. who admits she could
not have been languorous and sandal
wearing Turkish woman. looking at the
patterns Of the wall paper against her
lords Homecoming.
But what really caused the action for
divorce. she says. was tale OF her
Mohammedan husbands. On June 10.
1914. when they had been married about
eight months. AbdullRh. her complaint
and would have to leave for Turkey the
next day. He induced her to enter into
a property agreement. whereby. for 1915.
she relinquished her common interest
to 81. 100 worth OF property.
But the next day came and Abdullah
did not 20. says Mrs. Abdullah. He re-
mained on at his place as head OF the
Turkish bath department OF the Los
Angeles Athletic Club. where he was
averaging $3.50 a month.
HE is the only husband ! have ever

believe he Is the kind for an American
girl. He is too subtle and deep: his re-
ligion Is different. and 50 are his ideas. "

.TARS BEST OF ALL
SAY NAVAL REPORTS
Commander Hills Ability As
Navigator Comes in For
Special Mention.

In the reports by officers of the
United States Navy on the naval mil
tia cruises of 1914, just issued, Cap.
tain C. S. Williams of the u. s. s..
Rhode Island, on which the Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Missouri
New Jersey, District Of Columbia,
North Carolina and Pennsylvania
militia made cruises. says that the
Connecticut militia was the most eff
cient of all and. pays q tribute to-
Commander H. J. Hill, Jr., it's COM
manding officer. The reports OF
other officers on board the Rhode ISL
and also rate the Connecticut organ
ization highly.
Speaking Of the Connecticut Naval
Militia in his report Captain Williams
says: This organization was. in
my opinion, the most efficient of all.
The discipline and cleanliness was
very good. The enlisted personnel,
as a whole. is ready to muster into
the service, though probably not all
at their respective ratings. The
commanding officer is a very efficient
officer, possessing to a marked de-
gree the natural qualities desirable in
a naval officer. The other officers
appeared as a rule to be ambitious,
energetic and imbued with a military
spirit
Not only does Captain iwilliams
thus praise the Connecticut citizen
officers of the United States Navy on
the cruise are in the same vein. Says
Lieutenant H. L Pence, after char
acterizing the Missouri militia as so
small as to be lost in the shuttle:
with respect to the other organiza-
lions I would rank them in all
around efficiency as follows: Connec-
tfcut. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Maine, District of
Columbia, North Carolina.
..As regards the Qualifications of
the officers to perform the duties of
their grade, none were qualified. The
nearest approach to this condition
was the commanding officer of the
Connecticut Naval Militia be-
lieve him qualified for a commission
of lieutenant commander in the reg
ular service: I believe that an OFF,
Ger Of the naval militia should at
least be competent to hold a. COM
mission in the naval militia which is
not more than one rank above what
he would hold in the regular service
The ideal condition would be for him
to have equal rank and that condition
should be striven for In this con-
| nection, I would like to suggest that
/ an officer school OF some kind would
be a, valuable adjunct to the state
militia
In his report he also praises Com
mander Hill on his navigating abil-
ity He says: I'm the two recent
| cruises I was assigned to instruct the
advanced class in navigation. Dur
ing the second cruise had three out
Of the four commanding officers. and
about two officers of the lower
grades. OF the latter commanding
officers, only one, the commanding Of
fcer of the Connecticut detachment
is a qualified navigator He is the
only officer coming under my obser-
walton in any of the detachments who
is qualified for deep sea navigation
On the second cruise to which Lieu
tenant Pence refers were the Con-
necticut. Rhode Island, Maine and
Missouri detachments. The other
I cruise.

BEATTY'S FLAGSHIP DAMAGED,
BUT entire FLEET is SAFE
BRUSH Admiralty Once Gives Out Detailed Statement
of Recent Battle of Dreadnaughts in
the North Sea.

London. Jan 27-The British Ad-
uairaIty announced today that all the
British ships engaged In Sundays ma
val battle in the North Sea have re-
turned safely to port and that the cas-
uaff1es are one officer and thirteen
men killed and three officers and rs
men wounded
The Adrnira1ty,s statement directly
refutes the announcement made by the
Germans and photographed here that
zone British cruiser and two destroyers
'evere sunk and other units badly damn
aged.
The most serious damage inflicted on
the British deet was On the battle
cruiser Lion, sir David Beattys flag
ship, on which he led his flying squad
ron into action and which was inStTu-
kme1tal In the sinking OF the German
cruiser Bluecher. The Lion was hit
once below the water line and several
kforuaard eonpar tInents were flooded
geEhe big flagship took up hawser
Arom the Indonfta;b1e and was towed
Into port The only other vessel Sc
riap1asIy damaged was the destroyer
1Eeteor, which was towed into port by
FIaers sister ship, the Liberty.

mTE DECLINE or
WEATHER SUPERSTTTTONS

The traditional annual exit of the
ground hog on February 2. to forecast
the weather for the next six weeks,
Is one Of the last of the pretty ana
picturesque old sUpersitions IT
dates from a. time when the weather
was one of the largest subjects of
human interest
Life in the old country was passive,
phiIosophic, and contemplatfve In
the common slang phrase there was
nothing doing In the sky, though
there we're thrilling battles between
conflicting forces of storm and sun
shine. 1t was natural that the people
of the more remote country. these
formed an absorbing subject, like
ball games and politics today.
Also rural interests are closely al
lied to weather. A good rain is worth
millions of dollars in a single state.
The old time country man was skill
full in reading the heavens But his
forecasts were Of short range. Hence
it was natural that rural wise acres
have tried to predict weather by

by the Lndomitable, and the destroyer
Meteor, which was also disabled, was
towed by the destroyer Liberty. Both
Of the damaged vessels were guarded
by strong escorts OF destroyers. Both
boats can be speedily repaired.
The total casualties reported to the
Admiralty are as follows: Lion, II
men wounded; Tiger. 1 officer and 8
men killed; 8 officers and men wound=
lit is not believed that any other cas-
ualtes occurred, but If so the Admiral
ty win Immediately publish the list
AS soon aus Admiral Beatty's report
of the fight is received the Admiralty
will issue a fuller account Of the af-
fair. It is known that the Lion and
the Tiger, which led the British battle
line, bore the brunt Of the German
fire, which appears to have been quite
effective for a short period.
The Lion was hit half a dozen times
The shot that tore q hole in her bow
was probably a. chance one from the
stern guns of the Moltke or the Der
ffhnger- The fact that the Meteor
was rather badly damaged is evidence
that the smaller vessels Of the two
fleets did clash and leads to the belief
here that some OF the German de-
stroyers must have been in trouble
What is most pleasing to the British
people generally and to the naval crit
les IN particular Is that the British
FlosseS were SO remarkable small for
the length and dlerceness of the battle
The result emphasizes the main point
about modern naval warfare that the
previous battles of the present war
have illus that greater speed
ana bigger guns win win every time.

COLDS AFFECT
The KIDNEYS
Many Bridgeport People Have Found
This to be True.

Are you wretched in bad weather :?
Does every cold settle on your kid
neys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular and
distressing?
These SYMPTOMS are cause to sus-
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for weak kidneys
Bridgeport people recommend
them.
Simon H. Mccullough, policeman,
SO Milne ST., Bridgeport. says: Some
years ago, I caught cold on my kid
neys and my back began to ache and
pain I got sore and stiff and had
other symptoms of kidney trouble. I
got box of Doan's Kidney Pills and
they relieved the backache and other
kidney ailments. Others of my family
have used Doans Kidney Pills with
equally good results
