Becker, deputy attorney general, who has been conducting an investizgation preliminary to the referee’s inquiry, said that he will subpoena James Ward Warner, presi- dent of the New York Produce Ex- change; Edward G.

The inquiry Mr. Becker stated | would first investigate conditions in | the wholesale and retail baking trade to determine ‘“whether a rise in the price of bread 'nas been justified by a bonafide increase in the price of flour and the depletion of the stocks of flour purchased by the bakers at a lower price.” ALLIES’ WAR EXPENDITURES $10,000,000,000 PER YEAR hearings, Ar- | of presi- | Great Britain Spending More | Money Than Her Two Al- #lies, Says Lloyd George.

Streams Out of Banks. Rome, Feb. 15, 2:55 a. m.—Italy, having just passed through a period of grave anxiety as a result of destruc- tive earthquakes, is now facing a new peril in the form of floods. Every- where streams are out of their banks, due to heavy rainstorms which have continued for several days. In the low-lying quarters the peo- ple have , been driven from their ! homes or are prisoners in the upper stories of their houses. The military authorities have taken cognizance of the situation and troops have been | sent to aid in rescue work and to pro- vide food to sufferers cut off from supplies. Two Inches an Hour. In Rome the River Tiber is out of its banks and is rising at rate of two inches an hour. The one bright sput in the situation is that the weather, early today showed signs of clearing, and this gives hope that the waters will soon recede. The Leonine City, as quarters of Rome is called is in lower part of the town, and this sec- tion is generally flooded. The water, however, has not vet reached the apostolic palace of St. Peter’s. Pope Benedict is taking a sympathetic in- terest in the situation and has en- joined all the parish priests to energy in aiding their distressed parishioner: the Vatican | The Pope himself spent a good deal of his time Sunday in watching the rising waters in the quarter just be- low the Apostolic palace. Hospital Patients Removed. Two hundred patients in the hos- pital of Santo Spirito, near the Vatican have been removed to the upper floors of the building. The authorities have closed the road from Rome to the sea, in which there and the | where along the front, ond both the French and German war offices, in vietories.

Ed- zone Rome, Sunday, Feb. 14, 8:30 P. M. —The Idea Nazionale, organ of the nationalist party, its issue of to- day publishes a forecast of German proposals to Italy, which reads as follows: in Von Buelow, the German ambassador to Italy, will present to the Italian government a concrete proposal for Italian participation in the war on the side of Germany. This consists of the concession by- Austria of the province of Trent and the rectifica~ tion of the eastern Italian frontier by the addition of a strip of 1aptl going as far as the Isonzo river. In addition Germany will pledge herself to con- clude a new treaty with Italy which will afford protection to Italy’'s Medi- terranean interests. “In exchange, ltaly is to take part at once in the war. She will occupy Tunis, and help Turkey drive the English from Egypt, which will re- turn under the dominion of the sul- tan of Turkey. In adition the Italian fleet will attack the Anglo-French naval forces in the Mediterranean.” Continuing, the Idea Nazionale says ehat Prince Von Buelow reférring to Trieste, made this statement: “It is imposible fo give Trieste to Italy be- cause this seaport is the lung out of Austria but of Germany.” At the conclusion of one of his con- versations with the TItalian states- man, Prince Von Buelow, according to this newspaper, made use of this phrase: “Either Ttaly will be friend- ly toward us or we will treat her worse than we are treating England.” LOCAL BOYS HONORED. & S Former High School Students Receive Yale Commendations, David Waskowitz and Morris Fen- del, freshmen at Yale college, have received honors for the semi-yvear. The first half of the term was finished last week and when the returns from the examinations were given out it was announced that Waskowitz had re- ceived first honors while Fendel re- ceived second honors. As there are only about forty students in the first honor role the achievement of Was- kowitz is noteworthy. Both Waskowitz and Fendel were honor students at the High school, graduating with the class of 1914, Fendel was a graduation speaker, and was also well known in the debating circles of the school, having repre- sented the High school on the cham- pionship interscholastic debating team last year.
