O’Con- nor, British consul a Shiraz (in the interior of Persia, about 115 miles northwest of Bushire) and the other mermbers of the British colony there, were arrested recently at Shirez and taken to Berasjan, about .25 miles in- land from Eushire, where they were detained. The women of the party, who have been released and have arrived at Bushire, declared that gendarmes, al- leged to be acting in coliusion with Germans, deceived the Persian gov- crnor of the province, stating that war had been declared and that they were acting under orders from Teheran. Seizure Confirmed. London, Nov. 23, 2.33 p. m.—Sir Ed- ward Grey, the foreign secretary an- nounced in the house of commons this afternoon that the seizure of the Brit- ish consu; and the manager of the Im- perial Bank of Persia at Shiraz, had been officially confirmed. They wery arrested, he said, without the knowledge of the Persian govern- ment, by gendarmes who are now in revolt throughout the country. STATE OF ANARCHY EXISTS IN PERSIA. Troops of Various Nations Are Doing as They Please. ‘Washington, Nov. 23.—Despatches of a semi-official nature received in Washington indicate that practically a state of anarchy exists in Persia. Ac- cording to the reports, troops of vari- ous nations are doing as they please in certain sections, the government being powerless to curb their actions. Many government officials are said to have fled from the areas in which the most serious conditions prevail. The state department in announcing today that approval had been given the action of American Minister Caldwell in taking charge of the diplomatic in- terests of Germany and Turkey in Persia, said that the minister had taken the step on his own initiative. It was pointed out that Persia, being a neutral country, the ister was well within his powers in agreeing to look after. the German and Turkish interests when the regular represent- atives informed him they were about to leave the country and requested him to do so. SENTENCE OF ANNA BENAZET COMMUTED TO IMPRISONMENT In Response to Request of Kina Al- fonso of Spain.

The first step taken by the govern- ment to assert control, -except the conventional requisition of ships for admiralty purposes, consisted in the issue of a blacklist of neutral shipping suspected of employing German capi- tal or of being engaged in unneutral services. This blacklist did not pre- vent chartering of boats on it and was succeeded by an order-in-council which provided for seizure and con- demnation of any neutral ship even partly owned by German capital. Drastic Action Necessary. Apparently the government was finally moved to take drastic action by the immense , earnings - of shipping Ccompanies. A plan was communicated to owners whereby the government proposed nothing less than the requisi- tion of the entire British' mercantile marine. This plan contemplated reg- ulating the trades in which ‘ British ships could engage, thereby giving better control of imports and exports, and frankly proposed using it to in- crease the government revenues. This was to be done by giving the owners what would be a high rate in normal times and charging the charterers the existing rate, the difference to find its ‘way into the national exchequer. This plan mever got beyond -the shipping men, who smothered it under an ava- lariche of protests. Cancel Orders. The third plan exempted wheat ships om America from seizure until they bad made another voyage after unload- ing their cargoes here, and provided a system for licensing British bottoms trading between foreign ports. Hard- ly was the ink dry on the circulars announcing this plan, before another order was issued cnncelllng its pro- visions.

Entertainment. ' An entertainment was given in the town hall, Central Village, Tuesday wvening by members of the Plainfield attendance of the pupils electing it| at the trade school during the after- neon up to 5.30. As these pupils have regular high school work of an amount equivalent to that of those who elect the other courses, and have, in addi- tion home study to prepare for these lessons, the question may be raised whether they are not being over-bur- dened. The instructor in the machine shop at the trade school states that they appear tired, and he believes they a few days ago.

Williams has gone to New London, where he has been engaged as a member of the clerical staff of the New Haven road. Some Expert Advice. The ship owners besought the gov-| ernment to accept some expert advice before proceeding further. The result was the formation of twe committees. The failure to publish complete de- tails of the plan is considered signifi- cant by ehip owners, who fear the government may change its scheme for the fourth time. Plans Under Consideration. The first of these bodies, called the ship licensing committee, will issue licenses for trading between foreign ports. The second is a requisitioning committee which will anticipate the urgent requirements of the country and if necessary exercise a pre- emption on ships. Licensing Plan Insidious. Several charterers here whose inter- ests lie with neutral or other foreign shipping profess to see in the licensin; plan an insidious attempt to safeguar British shipping - against the. growing mercantile marines of other countries which, although not yet rated strong enough to wrest trade from the bot- toms flying ‘the Union Jack, may be able to do so soon after peace is de- clared. They claim that by threeat- ening under the licensing plan to with- draw certain ships upon which traders depend for their goods, the shippers could be forced to sign ironclad con- tracts to use nothing but British bot- toms over a long period of years. Would Bring Ruin to Shippe In support of this theory, they point out that in certain trades between the United States and South America the withdrawal of the British bottoms would bring ruin on the shippers, for at the present moment it would be impossible to secure ships flying other flags to take heir places. If this theory is correct, it can be readily appreciat- ed that the licensing plan places a powerful trade weapon in the hands of the British government, which will not only enable it to control its own exports and imports, but will give it a tremendous influence over the sea- borne trade, ot ‘other couyntries.

On the other hand, the con- sistently high grades in their regular high school studies of most of those who are taking this course speaks well for the interest elicited by the work. The total enrollment in the classes in sewing and cooking is 102, showiag that a large proportion of the girls are availing themselves of the training in these useful subjects. Singing and gymnastics are also taught, there be- ing special teachers for these sub- Jects. I recommend the approval of the Putnam High school. Respectfully submitted, E. H. CAMERON. Mrs. H. N.
