THE music out Of doors is beginning.
The birds donot sing in winter, nor
in the regions where they spend the
cold period Of the year They con-
verse, and quarrel, and give their
alarms. but they do not sing after
they leave here. One never hears the
robins singing down South; nor the
other song birds. They sing in the
springtime there rs they do up here,
but in the winter they do not sing,
although the days may be as bright
and warm rs they are up here In the
summer. But the spring time is upon
US, and there is music in the air. 1t
makes no difference about species.
There are pleasant sounds to be heard
IS the little people Of the outdoors go
shout their counting and their home
and the rearing Of the chill
iren. It will be noisy world for

will blend into . glorious chorus for

It is pointed out besides that these Rus sians fought with the entente against the socialists today wrote a letter to Premier Nitto on the subject.
 H"The Italian socialist party said the communication cannot further re- main indifferent to the sufferings be- ing inflicted upon men who are only guilty of being Russian citizens freed from the tyranny of the czar." The letter noted that these Russian citi- zens were Austrian prisoners who took refuge in Italy after the Austro- Hun garian debacle. It accused the gov ernment of cooperating with the s.czarist dictators,'l Ko1chak and Deni- kline, allowing the Russian military mission in Italy to conduct propagan- da among the prisoners for the object of inducing them to enlist in the Kol- chak and Denikine armies. The prop agandists were charged with using in humane means to coerce the prisoners, even arresting those who dared re- sist bribery

. New York, Nov. 29.-Eccentricities of Mrs. Harriet E. Kingsland of Elberon, N. J., who died here several months ago leaving an estate totalling approximately $150,000, have devel- oped unusual incidents which are pos sessed by her executors, it was learned today when they made their report to the surrogate's court. \ First, it was found she had rented a safe deposit box here in the nam of Annie E.

This was done by photo graphs and affidavits of Mrs. Kings lands chauffeur and maid that they were accustome ed to accompanying her to the safe deposit company.
 When the box finally was opened, it was found to contain 76 bank books of IA New York savings banks with deposits of nearly $80,000 to the credit of 76 individuals.

FORTIFICATIONS ON
 COAST ARE NEEDED
Major General Black Says Need Is As Great As During Recent
 War.

/. <
 Washington, Nov. 2e.-Necessity for. the maintenance, of defensive works at important and strategic points along the coasts of the United States is no less patent today than before the war with Germany, 5in the opin ion of Major General Black, chief of engineers In his annual report pub 1ished today Gen. Black declared that "sea coast defenses had lost nothing in importance from the lessons of the war" adding:
 Rather was the extreme value of such works demonstrated The Turk ish forts at the Dardanelles served to prevent the taking of Constantinople and the opening of line of supply for Russian This instance alone, in it's far-reaching consequences, proved the worth of sea coast defenses.' &
 Gen. Black expressed the opinion that heavy ordnance on railway mounts must be- considered simply as auxiliary defenses'' to the fixed and permanent works. '' t2 He recommended the emplacement of heavier. guns, to offset the greatly increased range of naval guns, som @ of which now can throw a projectile 28 1-2 miles. The work of moderniz- ing the coast defenses is being con {. tinued,s the report showed, many re- cent innovations ia the science i.act' warfare having been adopted. One Of these was a disappearing searchlight tower, the fixed type having proven of great value to the enemy as a ranging point for their fire.

Hartford, Nov. 29.-The Connecti- cut fair price committee has received complaints from the public that re- tail grocers in this city and New Haven were charging more than Il cents a pound for granulated sugar.

 The fourteen members of, the fair price committee are now voting on a proposal to increase the price and about half have mailed their votes to the chairman. MT. Crosby says he purposes to warn wholesalers that the government fixed price stands until official announcement to the contrary

 Physicians today were uncertain as to whether the operation would save Mrs. Robinsons life. In the mean time the police were wondering what the effect would be if the woman whom Gordon had tried to kill should be saved from death through his own sacrifice of blood.
