10, THE POOR ANZAC!
lRv limited Press. J

London, Nov. 3. (By Mail -
Many Australians soldiers now find
themselves between the devil and the
deep blue sea.
1t has been arranged that those
who have been over here since the
beginning of the war shall be granted
six months leave to enable them to
go home and see their folks over
Christmas. A great number of them,
during the past four years have mar
ried English girls, and the question
now arises as to whether they shall
take their wives back home with
them or leave them behind
An Anzac may take his wife home
with him if he pays the expenses Of
the voyage, but few have been able
to afford the expense. AS an alter
native he can take seventy-five days
furlough in England on full pay,
with an additional allowance Of rs
cents day. These who have no
strong ties at home have decided to
accept this privilege but others who
are longing for sight of father,
mother, and all the rest of the old
folks at home are sadly torn between
their flial and conjugal loves.

ITALY DID SOME STUNTS
PERFORMED BY PALMER

Rome, Nov. 23.-Up to the time
of the signing Of the armistice over
900 properties belonging to enemy
subjects had been sequestered in
Italy by the government.
Total value of thse was estimated
at 500, 100000. In addition, jewels
and other personal valuables were
sequestered to the extent of $780,
100000. These figures do not in
clude stocks and bonds or current
funds left by enemy subjects in
safety deposit vaults in the banks of
Italy. The directors Of these banks
assumed the responsibility of seeing
to it that safety deposit boxes Of
enemy aliens were not reopened ex-
-cept by the Italian. authorities. 1t
is estimated that property, stocks,
bonds, jewels, and personal effects
belonging to enemy subjects in Italy
totaled one billion dollars.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-General
increases in express rates have been

ton.

portionately IS per cent.

come effective Immediately.

Specifically, the express rate order
provides that rates in the east, or
rates on shipments originating in the
east, be advanced 16 or II cents on
first and second cIass shipments, and
that elsewhere this increase be ap-
proximately u cents. Local d1f-

tions, are to he raised 10 cents per
