STATE WILL CONTINE | BEAUTIFYING HIGHWAYS| More Than 800 Shade Trees Will be Set Out When Frost Leaves Ground. That the Connecticut highway de- partment will undertake extensive work this spring in the planting of shade trees along the highways of the state was made known yester- day when Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald announced that the department was prepared to re- celve sealed bids on the work at its New Haven office at 106 Elm street until February 1. The policy of beautifying and shading Connecticut’s highways was established last year and several thousand trees were set out. This year the work will be resumed as soon as the frost leaves the ground. The planting of more than 800 trees along seven highways is required in the specifications for the bid which is now open. The trees include pin | oaks, sugar maples, Norway maples, | CHINESE DENAND EUROPEANS QUIT “Snggest” Foreigh Concessions Be Handed Over to Them 7 Shanghal, Jan. 18 (M—A report received here today said represen- tatives of the Peking government called on certain legations at Tien- tein yesterddy and ‘suggested” that the foreign concession there be handed over to the Chinese. Tientsin is the principal sea out- let and commercial capital of North China. This move is not considered sur- | prising, as the recent case at Han- kow, where the southern govern- ment took over the British conces- | sion after an uprising among the | Coolies and caused evacuation of American and British residents, is considered a precedent which cer- tain Chinese leaders intend to fol- low elsewhere.

Beyond the statement that he had been given orders to “protect Amer- ican lives and interests in China,” he gave no information regarding the detalls of his mission.
