Town Turns Back on Tramps.

On the ground that no man ought to
be unemployed at the present time, the
guardians of an English town have de-
cded to ignore the existence of tramps
and to provide neither food nor lOdg-
ing for them. They will have their re-
ward, for the fraternity will give the
pIace n wide berth.

Violent Artillery Fighting
The clear weather, following Mon

AZ the end OF February the Turkish
government. finding It's troops pressed
in Mesopotamia and Upper Egypt by
the British, in Persia by the Russians
and in the Hedjaz by the Arabians,
sent a distress call TO the German
General staff. according 10 an suthorl-

Turkish government demanded the i'm

The dispatch adds that the report
that the last Of the tunnels through

Railway is now in a position 20 be

correct. Communication with Bagdad

in the six months which closed with
January 81. 1914. the tonnage was no
less than 25.l76,27S. That in itself IS
not an accurate measure OF the de-
