 While no official figures are as yet obtalnable, the number of deaths caused by the influenza epidemic is certain to be high. With one os two exceptions, every report made on the second wave during the last four weeks has included from one to four deaths and the tol! was almost as high during the first wave.
 At the present time, the individual quarantine is the only weapon the health department is retaining for use against the flu" and practically all of the special police deputies sworn in for the occasion are no longer on duty.

CAMPAIGN GOES OV
 ID PROTECT BIRDS

The campaign which is going on for the protection of the song birds of Phoenix is enlisting the cooperation of not only the authorities but of cit izenS who are reporting violations of not only the law for their protection but other infractions of the law. It is said that on the eastern outskirts of the city, along the Park Road, there has been a great deal of shooting lately with guns of all kinds, in violation of the game laws, paragraph 673-"It shall be unlawful for anly person to shoot a revolver, rifle or shot gun of any calibre or gauge upon. from or across apy public highway in the state of Arizona, where there is cultivated land or dwelling houses on either side thereof or where shot from such gun shall fall in or pass over any cultivated land or dwelling houses or among stock or other animals grazing on land con- tisuous to such public highway

COMMITTEE ID AID REVISION IF FIRE
 INSURANCE RATES

The demand to secure a revision of the fire insurance laws in Arizona has called forth the necessity of appointing a committee to cooperate with the building inspector and others in this most important work which will be of greatest advantage to the community. Members of the committee appointed are: E. NJ. Davis. Captain John Rinker Kibbey. H. L. Aller H. $. Prince and S B. Stewart.
 New fire insurance ratings for the entire city of Phoenix, which will re- dUce annual premiums approximately $25,000, are soon to be compiled by Frank Slater surveyor for the various fire insurance companies. Almost every property owner in the city will be af- fected by the new ratings which be- conIe effective on all policies written within a period Of 60 days before the new tariffs are published. In some cases the decrease will be as much as F or 15 per cent
 Improved building laws and their strict enforcement are principal req sons for the decrease at this time. In computing fore rates. three paramount factors are taken into considera ton. They are fire protection in the form of fire apparatus, water supply and building laws and their enforcement.
 Improvement in the city building laws has been rapid during the pa st few years. There have been practical ly no improvements in either the fire department or the water works of the city since the last decrease was made three or four years ago. The only req . son for the new rating at this time is attributed by the surveyor to the ef- fort or the city building department.

 Lieutenant Langley, according to the story Lieutenant Commander Stockton told me. cruised in the direc- ton of the Kiel canal one night. Com ing to the surface at dawn, the British craft saw a huge German submarine not 50 feet away.
 Ut was the work of few moments to land two torpedoes amidships. Lieu tenant Langley explained. He de- scribed the giant submarine as split ting in the middle as the result of the terrific explosion, with both ends ris- ing high in the air.

SAYS THREATS INDICATE
 TROLLEY STRIKE FAILURE

The Hartford Courant says the boy- colt threats made by striking trolley men on the shore Line system indi- aims. The Courant said Thursday:
 Two years ago this afternoon two trolley cars On the Shore Line Elec- -trfc railway met in North Branford without the usual fornrajity Of a turn. was fairly inaccessible, though it might have been even worse had tho point been mile to thu eastward. When the survivors .csaired par. that upwards of IS pa ssehscrs had been Killed. and that the state had suffered its greatest trolley wreck up to that date at least.
 we; are safe In saying that no like accident will happen on the Shore Line Electric road today at North Branford or at any other point be- tween New Haven and Chester for the all sufficient reason that no cars are being operated. None has been for the Trolleymen's union in New Lon- don and Norwich were not satisfied with their wages and asked for d raise. This was refused by the man agcment on the ground that the road was already being operated at a loss and. if the rates were raised to meet the raise in wages the public would refuse to patronize the cars.
 The men quit WOrK, ana the service stopped for a fortnight. when it, was resumed after a fashion in New Lon don and Norwich and. finally, between those two cities, out no cars have been operated as yet on the line from New Haven to Chester It was an open secret that the men oh that line did not care to strike. But they were outvoted, and when the time arrived. they went Out with the others. A newspaper printed in one of the towns on the line interviewed these men recently and learned various things. mainly that they we're opposed to the strike, that not all of them knew what the object of the strike was. but that all oe them proposed to stand by the uniob.
 Now we see ihdica tions that the strike is likely to be a failure from the fnen's point Of view. the most con vincihg evidence appearing in Mon days Norwich Bulletin. where an ar ticle on the strike read as follows:
 Boycott threats are now being used by the troleymen to cripple still fur- ther the efforts of the trolley road to resume operation Of it's cars in this city The striking employees who are patrons of restaurants have ordered the proprietors not to serve meals to the men now working for the com pany, on pain of losing patronage of the. strikers. The boycott threat was also made to prominent Norwich grocer, it is reported.
 Norwich people have been fairly long suffering, we judge, to this time but it is not impossible that the Boy colt may prove to be the last straw.
