BRITISH PASSPORTS
 ARE SAFE FROM SPIES

London, F'eb- 15,-British passports are now issued in such a manner that it will be impossible for spies and oth- CT, alien enemies to alter them so they can be used by other than the persons to whom issued.
 Over all the surface of the passport where descriptions and signatures are to be placed fine lines are printed in red ink. The application of acid to this surface makes the red ink run and instantly shows the passport has been tempered with Instead of stamp ing the photographs on the new pass ports with seal, which does not cut through, a new seal has been devised which perforates the pictures and the passports making it extremely difficult to substitute other pictures
 On the new passports wives accom- panying their husbands will also be fully described. Heretofore little at tentfon has been paid to women trav- cling as the wives of passport holders but the appearance of women spies in various parts of England has arous- ed the auth critics and they will here after watch the movements of women more carefully.

Hartford, Feb i Pollution of i'm land and tidal waters of Connecticut will be a subject under extended con sideration by the legislature by req son of numerous bills now in the hands of committees and through recommendations to be made in the forthcoming report of the state board of health which was given authority to investigate the subject of a law passed in 1913.
 An outline of this report is given in the monthly bulletin of the state board for January issued to-day. A central board charged as it's primary duty with the general welfare of the state as a whole. will be advocated to deal with the problems of sewage of one municipality of discharging its waste into the nearest waterway.
 A supervisory central board, it is pointed out, can eliminate much waste of money
 One point is evident,'' says the bull. Ietfn, namely. that the amount o1 purification required and the type o1 plant to be installed can only be de ternlined in each case by a study o1 local conditions. On account of the increasing population it will aLlWays be physically impossible to maintain waterways in their original and nat ural condition Of purity but a, req sonable degree of cleanliness should nevertheless be demanded, so as no to cause offense to public decency ol injury to public health

E
 Rome, Sunday. Feb. 14.-The Idea Naziona1e organ of the nationalist { party in it's issue of to-day, publishes "a forecast of German proposals to Italy which reads as follows:
 Before the end of February Prince Won Bue1ow. the German am bassador to Italy will present to the Italian government a concrete propo- sal for Italian participa ton in the war on the side of Germany. This 1consists of the cession by Austria of ftl1e district of Trent and the re-align- t1aelt Of the eastern Italian frontier Eby the addition of strip of land near the Izenzo river. In addition, GermaTy will pledge herself to con- e1ude a new treaty with Italy which will afford protection to 1ta5ly's Medl- terra neau interests
 In exc hange. Italy is to take part at once iii the war. She will occupy Tanis and help Turkey drive the Eng ] fish from Egypt which will return ur- der the domination of the Sultan or Turkey In addition the Italian fleet will attack the Angio-French naval forces in the Mediterranean.
 Continuing, the Idea Nazionafe says that Prince Non Buelow made this statement: Ut is impossible to give Triest to Italy because this seaport is the lung not of Austria but of Ger many
 At the conclusion of one of his con- yersations with the Italian statesman, Prince zVon Bue1ovs according to this per- made use of this phrase: .sFlither Italy will be frie nslly towards lds or we will treat her worse than we are treating England.

MOB IN AUSTRALIA
 BURNS GERMAN CLUB

Melbourne, Feb. 15.-The only out break of any consequence in Aus tra1ia directed against the Germans since the war began occurred recently when a mob burned down the German club at Broken Hill a large mining city.
 The trouble originated through the apparently insane act of two Turks. swl1o, conceiving it to be their duty to attack Britons because Great Britain was at war with Turkey, armed them selves with rifles, and,s in hiding along the state railway line, fired into a train of picnickers. killing four and wound ing seven persons. The Turks were finally shot to death by police and militianen, but the aftermath of the tragedies was a gathering of turbulent Britons in the foreign quarter of Broken Hill that night, loud in their charge that the attack upon the pie nic crowd was attributable to the Germans The mob marched into the German club, smashed all the windows in the building with stones and satur- ating the house with oil, they set the place on fire.

GAMBLERS IN CHINA
 GIVEN A FREE REIN

Pekin, Feb. 15.-As gambling is a. favorite Chinese pastine at the sea son of New Year the Picking police permitted it, contrary to recent or ders, for 2 period of six days, from January l. The object was to en- courage the people to observe the for eign calendar rather than the old style lunar form, the new calendar having been adopted by the Republic in it's zeal for things modern.
 All that section of the etF,orbidden City, which is held by the govern ment of the Republic 1the Manehu Emperor and his court having been #reIegated to the northern sectfon) was thrown open to the public for the first three days of the New Year, and mill .itary bands played in the great pavil- ions where the Emperors formerly re- ceived their tributary princes in an- dience, and restaurants were tempo rarily esta b1ished there.
 In celebration of the New Year. president Yuan Shi-kai issued a gen eraI amnesty to rebels. The police regulations provide that any man may return to China if his family and friends will make themselves respon- sible for his future good conduct. l Afforrner amnesty to a certain sec led' by more prominent leaders has been carried out successfully, but it is doubted by many foreign observers in the capital whether the new amnes- I9ty will be extended to certain promin- ent leaders as we'll as to minor men. a
 It is commonly reported that Sun Yat-sen could return safely and would even be given a prominent position in the government if he would support the present administration but he Is believed to be still finding refuge in Japan.
