TRAVEL ID. EUROPE
 STILL RESTRICTED
Months Needed to Refit Big
 Ocean Going Boats

New York. Nov 14.--It is unlikely that a resumption of trans Atlantic passenger service by the stea nships of the Allies will take place before next spring or summer, according to officials of British lines in this city. It will take from two to six months to put back into shape the big ships that have been carrying troops and whose saloons and most of their public rooms have been ripped to pieces.
 The European need of food, raw materials, lumber and metals for re- construction will keep the fleets busy many months.
 The British ministry of shipping said yesterday that it desired to have no names of British liners published, either as sailing or arriving, until peace had been formally announced.
 Applicants for passports to Euro pean ports will be treated just as they were before the signing of the arn1i- tice. A large number of Germans and Austrians learned this yesterday when they went to the passport bureaus and asked for permission to return to their native lands. They were told that only those who had special bus- ness in Europe could go ths@e during the existence of food shortage and war conditions.
 Pending the restoration of normal shipping business it is probable that the Holland-American Line and the Scandinavian companies will take care of most travellers crossing the At lantc. The Nieuw Amsterdam of the Holland America fleet is scheduled to sail for Rotterdam November 19, the United States of the Scandinavian American Line the same day and the Norwegian America liner Bergensfjord November 20.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
 $S,000,000 IN 1919
Uncertainty of Future Makes it Ad- visable That Taxes Be Not.
 RFSlueed

Washington, Nov. 14.--Uncertainty of future government expenditures and of policies for curtailment of war production makes 1t advisable, in the opinion of treasury officials. that the taxes under the pending revenue bill will be not reduced materially below the $6.250.0O0,000 carried by the measures as drafted in the senate.
 The treasury now considers 1t un- necessary, 1t is said to raise $S,0O0.- 100000 by taxation next year on this calendar years business as provided by the revenue bill passed by the house. Since the senate has reduced this amount to about $6,250, 900, GOO the treasury is inclined to believe that little change should be made in this total. Particularly, treasury experts say, war profits taxes should be re- tained. Many minor revenue sources, such stamp taxes and special taxes on different business lines which are difficult of administration and yield comparatively little revenue. might he abolished without great reduction in the total tax burden.
 Whatever sum may be cut off as taxes. treasury officials point out, must quent1y the amount which must be forthcoming next year by one means or another.

KAISER INC0NVENIENCED
Emperor Much Annoyed at Having to Wait For FornalitieS at Dutch Frontier.

Amsterdam m. Wednesday. Nov. 13.--- William HohenZOllern who, as German emperor, never liked to be kept waiting, had to remain Sunday in what amounted to temporary arrest in a railway car at a small Waystde station until word came from The Hague permitting him to proceed on his way and telling him where to go. The former emperor felt his position keenly and he kept himself hidden in a railway car throughout his stay at the station,
 Queen Wilhelmina of Holland ac- corting to the Frankfort Gazette, wished to extend hospitality to the former German emperor while he re- mained in Holland. However, the newspaper adds. as Holland itself fears the coming days it was found desirable that William Hohenzollern should live as a private individual.

Miss Alice Tuck.

Old residents of New Britain will be shocked to learn of the death of Miss Alice Tuck which occurred at the Charter Oak hospital in Hartford late this morning following an opera tion for goitre. Miss Tuck was born in New Britain 61 years ago. Her father at one time was a teacher in the local schools and the family home was on Park street until that section of the city was invaded by New Brit aims growing industries.
 Miss Tuck was connected with the South church and as a young woman was active in the welfare of the chill dren and young people of the church. After the death of her father she moved to Chicago and d few years ago returned to New Britain to take her place in the life of the town and church,

MAY REDUCE FARES
 ON ALL RAILROADS
This Action Believed Probable As Soon As Troop Movements
 StNp

Washington, Nov. IA general re- duction in the present passenger fares on the railroads is under considera- tfon by the Railroad Administration. Passenger fares which were increased last June in some instances as much as 50 per cent were frankly aimed at reducing railroad passenger travel
 When the military demands for passenger equipment begin to decline it is probab that tourist and other travel will be encouraged again to take up the slack.
 Troop demands on the railroads are expected to continue for some time. When this is over thousands of cars will be set free for ordinary passenger travel Halting of war industry will likewise have an effect and it is be- lieved that the general effect of re- duction on the railroad revenues will not be serious
