is a constantly changing but always large group of young officers. some home from fighting at the front in France on short leave, some from the camps in the provinces. Naturally they are anxious to crowd as much city life excitement as possible into the few hours of freedom accorded them; hence, numbers, who are stran- gers in London, are willing to make friends and have fallen victims to birds of prey of both sexes. Gamblers and money lenders have also been in part responsible for the troubles of young men who, under normal cir cumstances, would have been invul- nerable to approaches from these classes.
 One of the favorite games has been an invitation to dinner or supper, fol- lowed by small hands at cards, in which the invited guest invariably lost, sometimes through drugged drinks, after which he was obliged to give a check, or, if left without money, found an obliging money lender close at hand who was eager to take an officers promise to pay.
 Every steamer to America and most of those to the continent take away some fundesirables, and the large community of persons. who lived fash fly without visible means of support is rapidly being eradicated.

MAN WITH RABIES
 ESCAPED FROM HOSPITAL.
Ran Through Streets of Pittsburgh.
 Biting at People.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 25.-John Bu- kowa, aged 27, while suffering from rabies, became violent and escaped from a hospital today, running through a crowded thoroughfare, scratching and biting at people, until a police pa trol wagon gave chase.
 After a battle with Bukowa, in which six policemen were either bitten or scratched. the afflicted man was re- turned to the hospital, where he at tackled the superintendent, the physi- clan in charge and an orderly. A few hours later he died.
 All the police involved have been granted leaves of absence to undergo the Pasteur treatment as a precaution and the hospital officials and the or derly have been placed under observa- ton.
 Bukowa was bitten by a dog about two months ago. but no attention was paid to his injuries until he began to act strangely this morning.
 Fourteen persons in all were bitten by Bukowa, eleven of whom were at once sent to Mercy Hospital to under go Pasteur treatment. Gncluded in the number were Superintendent Beamer and four staff physicians of the Allegheny General Hospital.
 According physicians tonight the condition of all who received treat ment today was not serious and they will probably recover within two weeks

BRITISH POLICE DEPoRTING
 UNDESIRABLE ALIENS.
London's Underworld Contingent i:
 Being Given Clean Sweep.

London, Nov. 25, 10.07 p. m.-The British police are enforcing with strong and free hand their power of deporting undesirable aliens. While they have always had this power, war conditions have made it's use more de- sirable than in ordinary times, and the defense of the realm act has given them more ironclad authority.
 No reason need be given those de- ported beyond the statement that they are considered undesirable. London, like all big cities, has had its large shady world of people living by their wits but managing most of the time to evade criminal charges This un- derworld contingent is now undergo ing clean sweep, and several of it's members have been deported during the past month.
 The case attracting the most atten- tion is that of Tod Sloan, the former American jockey, who was arrested a day or two ago on deportatioR order from the home secretary and will be sent back to the United States on the ground of being an undesirable alien, inasmuch as, it is alleged, he had been maintaining gambling house.

 TON RATHER THAN BONDS
SIP, ,sO6, ,394 ANNUALLY
Suggests a Reduction in Income Tax Law Exemption on Single Person From $3,ooo to $2,o0o, on Married From $4,ooo to ss,ooo.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Increases in internal taxation rather than issues of bonds to meet the first years expendi- lures of the administration defense plan are advocated by Secretary Mo Adoo of the treasury in a formal state ment issued tonight giving an estimate Of the federal governments revenues and expenditures up to the end of the fiscal year beginning next July.
 $112,So6, 1894 Additional Revenue.
 Assuming that congress will continue law and customs duty on sugar, the secretary estimates that SIP, S06, 1894 in additional revenue will be needed for the expenditures for 1917, including $93.SO0,0O0 for new measures for na- tional defense.
 "Can Easily Be Raised"
 This amount" says the statement, "can easily be raised by internal tax ation without appreciable burdens upon the American people"
 Reduction in Income Tax Law Ex-
 emption.
 MT. McAdoo suggests a reduction in the income tax law exemption on sim gle persons from $3.000 to $2,000 and on married persons from $4,000 to S3,e00; changes in the GurtaX imposed on incomes above a certain figure; and new taxes on gasoline, crude and re- fined oils, horse power of automobiles other internal combustion engines and various other things.

MRS. MARY A. BURNS
 NOT GUILTY OF MURDER. Shrieked and Fell to the Floor When Verdict Was Announced.

Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 25.-Mrs. Mary 4. Burns tonight was found not guilty of the murder of her husband, Frank A. Burns. She was charged with mixing a powerful poison with liquor which he drank at their home in Nottingham Dec. 22, 1914. The trial began on Nov. Is.
 As the verdict was announced Mrs. Burns shrieked and slid to the floor in faint. She was quickly revived, however, and was led away to spend the night with her brothers and sisters in this city.
 Mrs. Burns was arrested five days after her husband died from the effect of poison contained in a bottle of whiskey with which she claimed she intended to commit suicide. After mix ing the dose, she said, she changed her mind, and her husband got hold of the bottle without her knowledge.
 In July she was sent to the state hospital for the insane at Concord for observation, remaining there for three months.

London, Nov. 25, 9:55 p. m.rAs result of the success of the Austro- Germans and Bulgarians in gaining command of the KossoVo plateau, the Serbian government has moved to Scutari, while the army is defending the little fringe of Serbia which lies between the Sitnika river and the Albania and Montenegrin frontiers. It can be provfsioned from Scutarl, from which place the Montenegrins built good roads during their occupa- ton.
 Serbs Still Hold Monastir.
 Monastir is still in the possession of the Serbians, but the Bulgarians are pushing toward it, while the army of General Won Gallwitz is reported to be on the way down the Varda valley to help the Bulgarians attack the Anglo-French forces
 Heavy cannonading continues on the western front; winter has put a stop to any big movements on the eastern front, while the Italians are persisting in their offensive and are daily getting nearer Gorizia, across the Isonzo, and Rovereto and Riva, in the Trentino.
 Cordial relations between Greece and the entente powers have been es- tablished with the Greek governments s assurances that no attempt will be made to interfere with the allied troops should they under any con- tingency be forced to cross the Greek frontier and that, as heretofore, rail- way and other facilities will be af- torded them.
 Greek Ships Allowed to Proceed
 That the assurances are satisfac- tory to the allies is shown in the fact that Greek grainships which had been held up at Malta have been all lowed to proceed to their destina- tions, relieving what would have been a very serious shortage of bread sup plies If tEeir detention had been pro- longed.
 It is understood that the allies have also promised Greece a monetary in demnity after the war for any damage which might be done through the oc- equation of Greek territory.
 Attitude of Rumania.
 With this thorny question out of the way, the British public has cen- tered its interest upon the attitude of Rumania and the intervention bf Russia. It is quite we'll established that Russia has concentrated a great army near the Rumanian frontier and despatches state that a large num- Der of heavy guns have arrived at Odessa from Japan for it's use How ever, the direction in which this army will move will be dictated by the policy the Rumanian government adopts.
 Berlin Shows Uneasiness.
 Berlin shows some uneasiness, but beyond that and the statement of the Rumanian premier, M. Bratiano that the relations between Russia and Rumania were never better there is nothing to go on.

PRESIDENTS THANKSGIVING
 SPENT AT TYPEWRITER
Abandoned Plan to Spend the Day
 With His Fiancee, Mrs. Gait.

Washington. Nov. 25-ThanlSsgiving day was spent by President Wilson at his typewriter. working on his annual address to congress, and he typed away until late tonight so as to have the document in the hands of the pub lie printer tomorrow. Abandoning plans he had made for spending the day with Mrs. Norman Gait his fiancee, \the president locked the door of his private study and emerged only for a short automobile ride in the af- ternoon and to eat Thanksgiving din- ner with his family.
 The president had expected to com plete the address early in the day. and a force of clerks was on hand at the White House to prepare it for the public printer.
 In view of the probability that the contest over national defense during the next session will be one of the most important of his administration, MT. Wilson is devoting more than usual care and time to preparation of the address. While he consulted with members of his cabinet about general features, the actual writing of it has been done in seclusion and without the advice of anyone.
