Berlin, Dec. II Correspondence
Prohibition Of duelling in the Germon
army and navy is urged by the news
paper Germania in commenting upon
the order issued by Emperor Charles
of Austria .forbidding the practice in
the Austro- Hungarian army and navy.
This inhibition" says Germanla,
twill awaken an echo of satisfaction
in the widest circles in Germany and
will give renewed expression to the
repeated command that competent
officials put an END to this duelling
nonsense in Germany. Nothing can
be achieved with half measures and
nothing short of an order prohibit
ing duel1ing without restrictions or
reservations will prevent further sac

PUBLIC FUNDS.

Christiania, Norway, Dec. IL (Cor-
respondence) 1T is stated that the
Norwegian government has decided to
put aside large public funds for the
encouragement of home steel indus
tries. The city Of Christiania is to
subsidize a new rolling mill to be
erected here, by contributing a pre-
MUM of eight kroner on every ton
of rolled steel turned out for a period
of five years. The existing steel works
in Strommen are to double their
yearly output of steel, and the pro-
duct is to be entirely taken over by
the military auth critics.

Hartford, Dec 13-At the after
noon session of the continued hearing
on the six-cent fare protest before the
Public Utilities commission yesterday
it was announced that the Connecti-
cut company probably would not end
its presentation of witnesses until
Wednesday next. P. w. Whipple, en-
gineer of construction, testified that
the corporation needs more than
100000 for improvements in the
next eight years. OF the increase in
operating expenses he declared that
to maintain the six power houses OF
the company during the year ending
June 80 last, it cost $1,000, 900 as
against 100000 for the year Of
1914. Coal cost was now $1,000 a
month over previous figures, he said
Edward P. Chapman, treasurer Of
the company, stated that the cash
balance in banks during the past
year was only $4,000 and additional
revenue was required to care for
notes outstanding to the amount Of
$1,167,956.
The Connecticut company has for
two years been considering ways and
means for increasing it's revenue,
made necessary by conditions said
General Manager John K. Punderford
of the company, in testifying at the
hearing before the commission.
