ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW
 QUARANTINE ABUSES
Health Department Officials
 Decide to Take Drastic
 Action &

Unless there Is a more stroet Ob- servance of quarantine rules, Drosecu- tions will be brought, Dr. Fred F. Lee superintendent of the depart 'ment, said this afternoon.
 For several days there have been numerous reports at the office that families under rsauarantina are leaving the house and are found in places where there arc large gatherings <,
 This action, the health superintend- ent feels, is contrary to the best in terests of the public since there is grave danger of the spread of scar let fever and diphtherla, the diseases against which the quarantines are in effect, .sa@ '5- It has been found by the inspectors upon calls for the purpose of taking cultures that patients have been left alone in tine house while the entire family is out visiting or at places of amusement. R. ..l.
 Under the quarantine rules, no one is allowed to leave the house except ing the breadwinner, and he only when he is not employed in the sale of handling of food sold for human consumption. ...e
 The statutes give health superin- tendents power to cause the arrest and prosecution of anyone suspected of breaking quarantine breach.

Conn. Delegation is Expected to
 Back Ship Subsidy BiV SoAdly
Poll of Representatives Shows All in Agreement But

Representative James F. GIynn Of Winsted asserted that the aEguments for the ship subsidy bill presented by President Harding in his address to the congress last Tuesday are unan- swerable. ..' >~, ..,#.f
 'erhe operation of the bill will benefit all sections of the country. both farmers and business men, said Mir. Glynn Failure of the United States to develop q large merchant marine would be deplorable. The president has amply shown in his ad- dress that such development would be impossible without government assistance" .s
 Representative John c. Tilson of New Haven declared today his be- lief that America faces the position where adoption of the ship subsidy plan is almost compulsory if the c0un- try is not 10 go bankrupt with the shipping board.
 There is nothing else we can do, from a business standpoint" said MT. Ttlson. We are losing large sums of money, about s50,o00, GOO sor more year with our ships under the ship ping board. We must either sink them, give them away, or operate them under a subsidy. II will cost $50, 100000 a year to operate themi but only half as much to sabsidlge their operation and the return to the country from that plan viii, l believe, as a whole result in an actual profit, we must do something with the ships and President Harding,s plan seems like the best business proposition.P

London, Nov. eS (By the Associat- ed Press)-There is the strongest pos sibility that Great Britain will break off diplomatic relations with Greece if the death sentences imposed on former Greek cabinet officers are car ried out, it was stated in official cir cles today.
 ' The precedent of such action by the British, it was suggested, would probably be the break in diplomatic relations with Serbia in 1903 as the result of the murder of the Serbian majesties by revolutionaries. .... May Net Avoid Break
 It was pointed out however, that the sentences given the former Greek ministers have not yet been carried out and that there was still hope that the Greeks would not take such ex- tren1e action.
 A Central News dispatch from Athens says the court martial has imposed the death sentence on M. Gounarts. M. Protospadakis and M. strattos former pfemiers; M Theoto- kis, former minister of war; M. Bal- tlzzis who has held portfolios in several cabinets; and General, Had ianestis, who commanded the Greek forces in the recent dehacie in Asia Minor. Gen. stratigos and Admiral Goudas were sentenced to life i'm prisonment.
 Heavy Fines Levied
 Fines ranging from 100000 to 1,- oo0,000 drachmas were imposed on the prisoners. In addition Generals Stratigos and Hadjanestis and Ad- miral Goudas were sentenced to mili- tary degradation.
