 DIES; AGED E|GHTY-N|NE
Death Fastened By Injuries Sustained Two Days Be-
 fore Birthday.

Unable to stand the severe shock resulting from a gracture hip bone which she suffered a short time ago, Mrs. Eliza Cole Noble, mother of How ard c. Noble, ice-president and treas urer of the North & Judd Manufac- turing company, and of Mrs. E. M. Wightman, died at her daughter s home at No. 29 Russell street at 2 o'clock this morning.
 Mrs Noble passed her eighty-ninth birthday on January 12 and two days before she fell and fractured her hip, which proved a greater shock than she could bear at her advanced age. Up to this time, however, Mrs. Noble had been a remarkably we'll preserved woman, and all her senses were un- usually acute for. one of her age. The ,tetseased was born at Kent. Conn.,. on January 12, 1926, being one of a family of nine children of which she was the last survivor In 1S4s she married David Noble of Kent and they lived together on a farm in that place until about 1865 when they took up their residence in New Milford, Conn. They lived in the latter place until 1892: Tn February of that year MT. Noble died and Mrs. Noble then moved to New Britain where she since has resided with her daughter, Mrs. Wightman. Another daughter, Miss Chloe A. Noble. who for a number of years lived in this city, died in 1896
 Mrs. Noble was a member of St. Johns Episcopal church in New Mill ford and had 8 large number of friends both there and in this city.
 Besides her two children she leaves four grandchildren, Mrs F. M. Holmes of Maple Hill: Cotton D. Noble, Louise Howard Noble, and Jessie Noble Wightman, all of this city; and one great-grandson, Morgan Noble Holmes, son of MT. and Mrs. F. M. Holmes.

SPECIAL OFFICERS :
 FAMILY IN WAR ZONE
Michael Hlebowicz Believes His Home Town in Austria Has Been
 Spared.

Special Officer Michael Hlebowicz is somewhat worried over what may have befallen his mother and ther and three brothers living in a small town on the San river in Austria, sit uated right in the war zone. At last accounts received the officer was in- formed that the town where his folks live had not been destroyed by the hordes of invading Russians and he hopes that the same still holds true Mrs. Hlebowicz's old home is also in this locality.
 From the letters he has received from his home land Officer Hlebowicz is informed that the Russians in their advance into Austria came in a sweeping path and surrounded his vil- lage before the people were aware of their presence. However, the invad- CTS did not lay waste to the land, al- though they took what stock they wanted. For instance, says the officer if man had ten horses or ten cows the Russians took nine of them and left the owner with one. This is tn cir custom along the San, according to the letters received.
 Officer Hlebowicz has two brothers living in his home town who are elegi- trian ranks but because of the speed with which the Russians captured the place he doubts that they had time to enlist. He has written them, through the Russian office.

EX-PREMIER GIOLITTI
 TALKS ON THE WAR
Italian Attempting to Discredit Re- ports of Italio-German Agreement
 Neutrality.

Rome, Feb. 1, 7:15 p. m.-Giovanni Gio1itti, the former premier, is mak- ing an effort to discredit reports that he has agreed with Prince von Buelow, the German ambassador, that Italy must maintain it's neutrality at all costs To this end a letter writ ten by Signor Giolitti to deputy has been published here, in which the former says he has known Prince von Buelow many years and has hfgh esteem for his talents and character.
 He always found the distinguished German a friend of Italy, although, naturally, placing the interests of his own country first. When the prince lived in Rome as a private individual, the former premier says, he went to see him often. Since he has been here as ambassador they have ex- changed visits but discussed the war only mechanically, without touching upon the attitude of Italy.
 In closing his letter Signor Giolitt1 says he regards war as a misfortune to be faced only when necessary for the honor or great interests of the country He does not consider It permissible to drag the country into war because of sentiment toward other countries. In the present con- dition of Europe he believes it might be possible for Italy to obtain enough without war.

GREAT BRITAIN MAKES
 CONTRABAND OF FOOD
It Is Understood That Cargo of Will heImina Will Be Paid For.-State
 Department Considers.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Great Britain notified the United States today, al- though not in official form that foodstuffs of any kind destined for Germany, Austria or Turkey will be regarded as contraband of war.
 The action of the British govern ment is based upon the recent Ger man decree whereby that government will take over all grain in Germany for common use.
 Because the steamer Wilhelmina sailed from New York for Bremen before the issuance of the decree, it is understood that her cargo of food for German civilians will be paid for and appropriated by the British gov ernment and the ship allowed to go free.
 But, hereafter, food-laden ships sailing from the United States direct ly for German ports or for neutral ports in Europe, where it appears that the cargo may ultimately reach Germany, will be subject to seizure outright, ship and cargo without com pensation.
 The state department now is con sidering this latest announcement ot the British government but so far has not committed itself to it's ap- proval.

Eng|and's Lord of the Admiralty
 Declares Sea is Free.
"COhPLETE BLOCKADE 4 CH|hfRA''
Winston Spencer Churchill Grants h. telyieW With "Matin" EditOI-Says Supplies and Will Lose Heart.

Paris, Feb. 2, 5:2O a. m-"For the say The sea is free declared Win ston Spencer Churchill, Great Brit aims first lord of the admiralty in an interview with Hugh Leroux, editor of the Matin. Tn the days when you and we fought each other,' he continued, "our most important vic tories never brought us security com parable with that which we enjoy to- day Even after Trafalgar we knew nothing like it.
 ''Supposing Germany has friend ships and relationships in South America, how can help reach her from them now? There remains the United States. Public opinion there hesitated, perhaps, in bestowing its sympathies, but at the present moment it is fully unified. We shall arrange to take precautions fully compatible with the rights of belligerents and the respect due to neutrals.
 Supplies Scarce.
 Our adversary perhaps can obtain a few supplies from Turkey and Asia
 
 long as there are neutrals a com pIete blackade must be chimera. Germany will continue to receive a small quantity of that whereof she has considerable need, but while you and we breathe freely, thanks to the sea we have kept and can keep open, Germany is like man throttled with a heavy gag. You know the effect of such a gag when action is nee essary. The effort wears out the heart, and Germany knows it. This pressure shall not be relaxed until she gives in internationally, for even if you of France and our ally Russia should decide to withdraw from the struggle, which is inconceivab ble, we English would carry on the war to the bitter end
 "The action of a navy necessarily is slow, but the pressure it exercises on an adversary is unrelenting. Com pare it to the forces of nature, to the ineNerable grip of winter, and remember that it Is a stress nothing can resist.

PARLIAMENT REASSEhbLES::
 200 MEMBERS AT FRONT
House of Commons Has Empty Appearance-Food
 Prices Considered.

London, Feb 2, 3:O2 P. M.-Parlia- ment reassembled today after a re- cess for the house of commons since Nov. 27 and for the house of lords since Jan. 8. The members dispensed with cerem onfes and plunged at once into the business to which the ses- sion will be confined almost entiely, consisting of various matters. chiefly financial which have arisen as re- suit of the war
 The political truce under which controversial measures are shelved has reduced interest. in the proceed ings.
 The house of commons had an empty appearance. Some 200 of the 67O members are now at the front.
 Replying to a question put by George Nicoll Barnes, labor member for Glasgow. whether the govern ment was considering the matter of fixing food prices, Premier Asquith said: ''All these matters are being carefully reviewed.
 The committee now having the matter in hand, the premier con- tinued, was deriving full information from the various departments of the government, but he could not say when the inquiry would be concluded. The government. however, was fully alive to the urgency of the subject and the premier told the house that it certainly would have an oppor- tunity of discussing the whole ques- tiOn.
