in american Note
administration Surprised That
They Haze Not Been More
Clearly Understood.
iIy Associated Press. /

WASHINGTON, December 3o-The
America" government. il became known
"uthoritat'veIy to-day. believes there
are three principal points in its note
to the belliscrcnts. and Is surprised
that they have not been more clearly
understood. particularly by the press
of the entente allies.
These points. taken III their order Of
Importance from the administration
viewpoint are:
The fear that the position Of ncu
trail nations be rendered altogether in
tolerable" IL the war continues.
The suggestion that arrangements he
made as "a guarantee against similar
conflicts IL. the future.
The proposal that means be found
for comparing the concrete peace
terms of both sides.
The last point has aroused most com
rnent. aud the first was emphasized by
Secretary Lansing's statement after
wards modified. that the United States
iisclf .ntgh. IL drawir. near entrance
into the war.
The administration, however il was
learned to-day, thought the sugges-
tion for IN arrangement - preserve
peace III the future would attract more
attention among the entente allies than
/; apparently has. and furniah u means
through which these nations could en-
ter with perfect propriety into "a Sc
rious peace discussion.
II such an arrangement could be
made. the administration feels. there
would be no ground for the fear that
agreements over terms made between
the belligcrents would not lie kept afr
the present war ends. II was pointed
out to-day that such fear has been
one of the main objections Of the en-
tenic allies 10 entering into peace dis !

ASKING MAYOR QUESTIONS
People Inquire About Health ReguIa- tions-Con1munica From Gov ernment Specialist.

Dr. Charles E. Banks, of the United States public health service, has sent a circular to the health officers of the various towns in Connecticut. who have forbidden children from New York to come into them, stating that owing to their stand he will issue no more information to these towns or cities. Dr. Jenkins, health officer for Willimantic, received the following communication from Dr. Banks Thurs day morning:
 'In view of the embargo placed by you in your circular against children under sixteen years of age, who are residents of New York city, entering your town, I shall issue no more cer- tifcates advising you on their travel as it is useless for me to give you the Information under the circumstances. When you have made a change in your rules to conform to communities in other states, similarly situated, and will advise me of same, I will resume notification"

POULTRY RAISER VICTIM
 OF CONFIDENCE GAME
Supposed He Was Buying Good Dol lars for 33 1-3 Cents-Lost $66o.

Stamford, Conn.,, Aug. 3.-Antonio SurevecI who raises poultry for the market in Great Burlington, Mass, was given helping hand by the po- lice today so that he could get back to his farm, although without $660 which he had brought here yesterday. SureVeClI had been the victim of a confidence game.
 Last Sunday Sureveck was called upon by two men, one a POIander and the other not of that nationality, who claimed to be searching for a runa- way girl. In the course of cOnver- sation Surevecll told how he was try ing to raise $2,000 with which to buy out his partner. One of the men said he had a relative in the Urea sury de- partment who bought all the dollars he needed at 8 1-3 cents each, and he offered to provide $2, GOO in dollar bills for $650 in other cash if SurOveCk had Sureveck should come to Stamford to get the two thousand dollar bills. He arrived yesterday and met the men. They bought a suit case and placed in it four rolls of bills. The outside wrapper of each was a real dollar. The suit case was turned over to Sure week after he had paid the $660 he had brought down. The men took the key and asked Sureveck to wait until they returned. The wait was several hours long and then Sureveck went to the station to buy a railroad ticket home. He pried open the case and found that each roll was of paper with Q dollar on the outside.
 The police gave the man a night S lodging and his carfare home.

New York Automobile Nearly Runs Into Train at Dangerous French's Crossing--FuneraI of Rosanna AIIard Big Tug of War Anticipated.


 At French's crossing there was an other Automobile accident Wednesday morning when a New York party crashed into a shed at the side of the cOTSslng in order to avoid hitting the T.15 train from WilIinantic, bound for Providence. The driver Of the auto mobile, q Hudson touring car said at a local garage that he was on his way from, Providence to Philadelphia and was travelling along near FrepCh's crossing at 9 moderate rate. He was utterly ignorant of there being a cross ing t this spot and the first he knew of it was when he saw the train ap- preaching. He immediately swung into the embanlIment and crashed into a small shed, just avoiding hitting the train and meeting death. The car was only @ few feet from the track after the driver swung it towards the enlbaulIment.
 The ear was damaged only slightly and no one in the automobile was in jured. The occupants of the machine were a man and his wife and their child.
 This recent accident recalls the frightful one which occurred when Ar thur ?. Parks Of Fall River, Mass, and Miss Anna Gushing of Providence were instantly killed when Parks pow erful roadster crashed into a lOCOmC- tive. Parks was going north while the other party was going south
 Approaching the crossing on the north side. one finds it exceedingly difficult to perceive whether 9 train is approaching, owing to sharp and dangerous bend no more than 100 yards from the crossing. The driver of the Hudson car, who was @ stranger in this section, had this disadvantage.
 The New York man was also igpor- ant that the signal bells wer ringing
 This is one Of the most dangerous Of railroad crossings.
