By a vote of 22 to :. the senate this afternoon passed the Brown bill regu- lating the cost of political advertise ments in the newspapers of the state The measure provides that the charge per word shall not exceed 1 # cents. or 50 cents per inch for & display adver- tisement The larger papers of the state are put on the same basis as the smaller Journals in making charge for the use tisement purposes.
 It is safe to say that the bill has no: remote chance of passing the house Leaders of that legislative body. re gardiess of whether or not the measure may be unconstitutional, declare that they will defeatsit when 1t comes up for considerations
 A feature of the debate on the bill in the senate was the expressed opposition of Senator Denson of Eutaw, who is the author of the anti-liquor advertising measure. Senator Denson opposed the bill on the ground that 1t Is unconsti tutional, and because, as he declared there Is a vast difference between the value of large daily as an advertising medium, and the smaller papers of the state.

 "Curtiss is also building for England 1 F hydro-aeroplanes of the K model of | 16l horse power.
 Russia has also recently ordered a number of hydro-aeroplanes of the K

 "The motors for the aeropanes are built partly by Curtiss himself at Hammonds- port, partly by the -Spillman Mo- l tor factory at North Tonawanda, N. r.

Bryan's Reply

| Secretary Bryan's reply. dated January 1 29 follows:
 "Excelleney:
 q have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency's note of the 18th instant and in reply have to in- | form you that the statements contained l in your excellency's note have received my careful consideration. in view of the earnest purpose of this government ! to perform every duty which is i'm posed upon it as neutral by treaty stipulation and international law. "The essential statement in your note. which implies an obligation on the part | of this government to interfere in the | sale and delivery of hydro-aeroplanes
 to bellgerent powers, is
 There is no doubt that hydro-aero- planes must be regarded as war vessels whose delivery to belligerent states by l neutrals should be stopped under arti-
 cle of the 18th convention of the sec | ond Hague conference of october IS, | 1907.'
 l As to this assertion of the character of hydro -aeroplanes l submit the fol- lowing comments The fact that a hy- dro -aeroplane is fitted with appartus to rise from and alight upon the sea does not in my opinion give 1t the char acter of a vessel any more than the wheels attached to an areoplane fitting | i' to arise from and alight upon land give the latter the character of a land | vehicle. Both the hydro-aeropane and 1 the aeropane are essentially aircraft; 1 as an aid in military operations they can only be used in the air; the fact 1 that one starts its fight from the sur l face of the sea and the other from the | land Is mere incident which in no way affects their aerial character.

ANOTHER GERMAN
 RAID ON COAST OF l. ENGLAND HUNDRED
Dover Batteries Open Fire On Invaders - Reports Conflict As to Nature
 of the Attacks

London, February I.-u0;30 p. m. Special orders issued by the police early tonight caused blinds to bs whisked down all over London and re- ports spread that five Zeppelin dir | igibIe balloons, sighted over Dover and presumably making inland. had been fired on by the forts. Parts of the city of London waited fol more than two hours with blinds drawn but nothing happened. Inquiries elicited from the police that orders to preparg for an air raid had been issued by the var office, but whether because air crafl really had been sighted or as rehearsal it was impossible to ascertain. One message from Dover reported thai the raiders had been driven off, but nc details were forthcoming.
 This furry broke the monotony of news from battle fronts, where none of the ar- mics, either in the east or the west, has delivered a blow sufficient to cause any shift in their alignment.
 German submarines attacks on British merchant ships continue the paramount topic of discussion, and predictions are made that food prices, already soaring, will go still higher if more raids are ac- complished. West coast shipping is still somewhat upset the Dublin Steam Pack et company announcing tonight tempora- " abandonment of all sailings with Bel st, Liverpool and Glasgow. One other Dublin company also has suspended sail- ings, but other schedules are being main- tained.
 England's SOlace
 The chief solace Great Britain finds in the German submarine attacks is that the air craft thus used cannot take part in regular naval operations. :
 Out of the confused fighting in the Car pathians, which continues to dominate the military. situation, comes nothing in the way of decisive conflict, and per haps the most significant news from the east Is the report from Petrograde that Field Marshal Won Hindenburs is plan ming another general onslaught on the Russian lines west of Warsaw
 Artillery duels almost exclusively have been the measure of the recent fighting in France and Belgium. The German official statement dismisses the western theatre with the terse announcement, Nothing to report.' Tho French record only one Infantry attack, southeast of Ypres, where they say they stopped German attempt to advance.
 The British Parliament will reassemble tomorrow to consider wartime questions. Although no contentious legislation will be debated, the labor party VIII press for government action with reference to the increase in the price of food, alien en- emy restrictions probably again will 5be threshed out. and there is likely to be a further request for more information on the recruiting situation.

Opinions Differ


 "ln view of these facts. I must dissent from your excellency's assertion that there is no doubt that hydro-aeropancs must be regarded as war vessels and consequently I do not regard the obliga- tions imposed by treaty or by the ac- cepted rules of international law applica- ble to aircraft of any sort
 Tn this connection l further call your excellencys attention that, according to the latest advices received by this de- partment. the German imperial govern ment includes balloons and flying ma chimes and their component parts In the list of conditional contra band and that in the imperial prize ordinance, drafted Sep tember 90, ls09 and issued in the Reich Geiszblatt on August 3. 1914, appear as conditional contraland 'airships and fly ing machines. (Article 2S, section 2) 1t thus appears that the imperial govern ment has placed and stIll retains aircraft of all descriptions in the class of cond- tonal contraband. for which no special treatment involving neutral duty is.

The Christmas tree is supposed by
great numbers of people to have orig.

mas tree came in the first instance
from Egypt, and its origin dates from
a period much earlier than the Chris

to put forth branch every month,
and spray of this tree with LIZ
shoots on it was used in Egypt at the

But what good would come OF

Count Frederick saw that his
argument had gone too far for his
own purposes. He did not care to
tell the king all he knew, yet his
zeal for Kitty had led him far.
Much good might come to Grahoff-
ems war department, your majesty
if they knew our secrets. Perhaps
they thought she could give some in

He overheard enough in his passing

Therefore once more Sachio went
back to his bootless interviews with
Kitty, once more pleading with her to
give him all knowledge she had of
the coin. And once more Kitty could
no more than reassure him of her own
ignorance of what he wished to
know.
She heard odds and ends of informa-
tion which taught her which way the
wind sat at Grahoffen capital Some
times she heard Sachio, again Bartel,
again this or that man, speaking
freely of the plans at hand.
Il told the king" said BarteI one
time, speaking to Count Sachio, "that
all is ripe for the shaking of the

Kitty, really owing allegiance to

which had done her such repeated in
justice, hardly stopped to ask herself
why she found her own leanings to-
wards Gretzhoffen, the scene of
most Of the indignities she had met.
She must escape for every reason
so she assured herself. But how?
From the windows she had a full
view of the well-kept grounds of the
palace and of the boulevards sur
rounding it. She stood alone one day
staring out on scenes grown familiar
10 her. But all at once her gaze grew
more intent, fixed upon some object
not far away. A car was standing at
