STRENUOUS TEN DAY TRIP FROM BERNIE TO WARSAW Made by Miss Marie HaviIand of New
 York.

Berne, Switzerland, Feb 1s, via Paris, 3.10 D. m.-Miss Marie Havf- land, of New York, music student who had been a long time in Ger many, arrived here today on her way home after a strenuous ten day trip from Warsaw, where she had been studying for the past few months.
 Miss Haviland was to have left Der lin with the ambassadorial train but she was unable to quit Warsaw on time because the written permission of the Berlin police was late in ar irving and at the eleventh hour she had to procure the .-disinfection cer- tifieate' required from all who pass the border into Germany. At the Pol isIa-German frontier she missed her train because the search of her bag gage and person took such a long time. In consequence she arrived in Berlin an hour after MT. Gerard's train left.
 Thanks to the courtesy of the Ger man foreign office officials, Miss Hav- iland was not required to leave by way of Copenhagen, which rule is now in effect for all other Americans, se- curing after weeks delay permis- sion to go to Switzerland by way of Lindau. At the frontier, however, she was again delayed for several hours because two American addresses which she had thoughtlessly noted on paper aroused the suspicious of the authorities. She was released after some delay but was required to leave all her funds in excess oS one thous- and marks in accordance withfa rule recently established

SAYS VICTORY IS DEPENDENT ON AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Statement Made by German Imperial
 Vice Chancellor.

Lo4don, Feb. 19-Dr. Karl HeIffer- ich, the German imperial vice chan cellor. speaking at a plenary meeting of the German agricultural council, is quoted by Reuters Amsterdam cor respondent as saying:
 'Englands war of starvation has from the first brought clearly before the eyes of the German people the fact that Germaisp stands or falls with it's. agriculture. Owing to the value of submarines and the failure of the harvests, England, too, is thrown back upon her agriculture and while I believe the English farmre will do his utmost to meet the situa- ton, I prophecy his failure"
 Regarding the submarine campaign, the despatch adds, Dr. Heffferich de- clared:
 We considered the matter careful ly and have dared. We are certain of success and will not allow that suc- cess to be wrested from us by any thing or anyone" After appealing for fresh efforts by the agriculturists, he added Until the next harvest comes there is still a long and not an easy road to travel" .

NEW LONDON'S TERMINAL PLANS
Must Take Back Because of Threatened Trouble With
 Germany Response to Governors Call- Mayor Rogers Leads the Work.

New London. Feb. 19-The present
 strained relations with Germany has
 at least postponed New London's
 progress as a terminal place for
 ocean-going steamers. and perhaps postponed the direct profits to the state from the state pier. Long. be- fore absolute completion, which is not yet the pier has been a source of rev enue to the state as well as to the federal government. for without the pier the Eastern Forwarding com pany would never have essayed to make the state pier the terminal for the transatlantic service. The conn pany's submersible merchant ship Deutschland made but one trip to the state pier. and the duties on the car go landed amounted to about $127 ,000 that went direct to the United States treasury, and a subsfantiaI sum went to the stae commission B from the Eastern Forwarding company for a lease of a part of the pier. Manager HlIHken and Captain Hineh @ofs the Eastern Forwarding company have both declared that the. Deutschland is now in a German port and will probably remain there for the present. In the companyss freight shed on the state pier is already a full cargo of HRteRiMl inteaded for the Deutsch- land as a return cargo, and it will probably remain there for some time to come. At least as. long as the com pany has lease of that section of the state pier.
 In the meantime, the eoIered steva- dores who eaEs1e to New London from 6Mftirncre to unload and load the Deutschland have returned to their southern home. and several of the clerks Of thes Eastern Forwarding company have returned to the Boston roface. The North German Lloyd steamship -Wiilehad. that was intern ed in Boston and came. to New Lon don under charter to the Eastern For wardfng company, to serve as a moth CT ship for the merchant submarine, will probably be released to her own CTS just as soon as the charter list expires. It Is not known whether the owning company will have the steam CT Willehad join other interned steamers of the company at other ports, or permit the vessel to remain sin New London harbor. and pay wharfage to the commission in charge of the state pier. This steamer, with crew. is of much benefit to New Lon don as a smaIl-s sized industry, a large sum Of money being distributed among some of the merchants for the sfhaintenance of the ship and the screw.
 As the strained conditions have put the quietus on the business of the Eastern Forwarding company, it has also delayed the construction by the state of a grain elevator in connection with the state pier, which is an ab- solute necessity in connection with a

terminal for ocean steamships at New London, in order to insure return csrgoes There is a bill in the hop per of the state legislature which asks for an appropriation of half million for this grain elevator but 1t will probably never reach the point Of public hearing before committee. It is understood, semi officially, that af- ter consultation of the commission in the office of the governor. it was decided at the suggestion Of the gUv- ernor, not to urge the passage of the bill calling for the grain elevator ap- propriation. For. had the committee reported favorably. and the 1egisla ture accepted the report and voted would have vetoed the measure nnder the existing conditions.
 It is understood that is was the plan of the North German Lloyd Steamship company, and the East ern Forwarding company. too, to make the state pier the United States terminal, when there was return to freedom of the seas. That important point is so indefinite. and the condi-s tions so unsettled. the governor and all the other members of the riveres bridges and harbors comfa&ssf0n were. of the nnaniHous opinion that the time was not ripe for the construction of g. grain elevator for the accommo- dation Of foreign commerce and corresponding benefit to the resources or the state pier. lC may come, Sofu4- time. but not unfil this cruel war is over.
 Governor HoIccrnh was Roosevelt : ized with the unarimous reaponse of the mayors Of the state. yes even more than dee-lfghted, when every mayor responded to the invitation of his excellency to go to Hartford iaat Friday afternoon, and arranged for the civil census of the stakes to as-. certain the resources of the state in the event of war. that the governor said he prayed to God would never materialize. The plan was gone over in the minutest details. At the con- clusion of the session the governor told the mayors, to return. te their cities and asked them to commences this work with the least possible 6e-s lay. He said Connecticut was the first state to begin this work that was asked for by the federal government, and, he hoped, Connecticut would be the first state to complete the work. Mayor Rogers. of New London, left the state capitol with the avowed in- ention of getting New London into line with the least possible delay, as requested by the governor. He called a meeting of citizens at the Munici- pal building. Saturday evening, and there explained the details of the work as was explained to him at the. meeting in Hartford. The meeting was enthusiastic and bubbled over with patriotic enthusiasm. The night was not lopg enough to complete the organization.
