The attention of Presi- dent Roosevelt was drawn to it by some naval officers of high rank, who pointed out that it had been the prac- tice from time immemorial and was legitimate warfare to make use of a neutral flag to approach either an enemy ahip or hie batteries or to run down a prize with the single condition that before a hostile shot was fired the neutral flag must come down aad the true standard be hoisted. Presi- dent Roosevelt promptly rescinded the new regulations, whioh gave place to the one now extaat. * ‘That Holland will protest against England's vee of the Dutch flag on British vessels was the statement thie afternoon by Dutch Minister Van Rappard after a visit to the Btate Department.

COMPANY SETS VALUE AT 968,820,127. Prof, Bemis read from a summary of his report: “In Greater New York at the close of last October the New York Tele- Company had property which, ascording to its books and ‘accounts, rs had cost 9$47,067,881.51, together with construction in progress amounting to 9582,295.57, a total of $68,520,127.08. “In the absence of any complete appraisal it is impossible to say whether a depreciation of a little over @ per cent. should be written off, as was done by the telephone company's appraisal in Chicago and in Pennayl- ington «| Vania. ican flag liner on entering Liverpool Harbor Saturday morning an was related to the members of the Embassy staff by Americans who had c: the At.

A. In its early days the company might reasonably be allowed to earn, an it did earn, more than 6 per cent. or even 7 per cent. A return, how. ever, of 6% per cent. to-day appears ample to retain the capital in the company and to secure more money for needed extensions, However, even 7 per cent, on the maximun ‘alua- tion of $65,000,000 would mean only $4,550,000. Judge Luce inquirerd the earnings In 1914. Prof. Bemis replied: “The net earnings of iho company, in 1914 jure worked out as a reasonable return. Neither in the investment of the company nor in the earnings is any attention paid to the cost of the Empire Subway Company or of dividends therefrom paid to the New York Telephone Com- pany, which owns all the stock.

SAYS MORS COULON'T GET AT POISON. Sup? singert in his statement to Coroner in declared it was im- possible {MH Mors to have procured access to the medicine chest in which @ lot of poisons were }: +t.’ The super- intendert admitted that he knows | very little about medicine and had little knowledge ab:..t the contents of the poison closet. He eaid he knew that a preparation called Fowler's ” n was kept there, and this is a solution of arsenic. Bangert said that he was quite sure the Fowler's Solution had been given to Henry Haensel and that the rec- ords of the institution would show it. If Haensel was given Fowler's Solu- tion, which contains arsenic, the fact would probably nullify the discovery of traces of arsenic in his remains. In the case of Mrs. Drey, Bangert said, chloroform liniment was pre- scribed for her rheumatism. Mrs. Hauser, who had dropsy and heart trouble, Bangert said, was given the numbers of German troops be- tween the junction of the Baura River and Bolimow bas been going on. Following their failure to make ma- terial headway against the Russian line which protected Humin, the Ger- mans shifted their attack to the right bank of the Vistula, northeast of Warsaw, between Lipno and Slerpec. This offensive was not comparable in Intensity to the former, and it evi- dently was only an Interlude to mask an important transfer of German troops m the direct in of Prussia.

Great tribute Ix paid here to the con- tinued mobility shown by the German forces in their lightning changes of front. In the recent transfer to East Pruss| e Germans made use of an enormous number of automobiles for the moving of their goldiers. They are.in possession of 30,000 motor cars, each = acer nodating twenty men, with food and ammunition, and capable of a speed of sixteen miles an hour. VIENNA, Austria, via Amsterdam and don, Feb. 8 (Associated Press).—The Austro-Hungarian War Press Bureau to-day issued the fol- lowing report: “The battle for Dukla Pass ended favorably for us. The Russians had concentrated near Dukla Pass strong infantry forces which advanced against the heights. “Without regard for human mate- rial the Russians tried to enforce a nitro-glycerine pills and tincture of digitalis, The Coroner’s inquiry brought out that sick inmates were treated in a haphazard way and the records of the home show that the visits of the attending physician were irregular. Amelia Bounapine, the fourteen- year-old girl who had charge of the poison closet, was examined to-day In the Bronx County District Attorney office. She said the keys to the closet were kept on a rack in the superin- tendent’s office, and that while she often saw Mors around the closet she never saw him handle any of the con- tents and never knew him to be near it when it was unlocked. Mors, Bangert admitted to Coroner Dunn, attended to the physical wants of the sick female inmates as well as to the males, He washed and fed the old women who were sick and made up their beds, but Bangert insisted that Mors was not allowed to admin- ister medicine, “Who administered asked the Coroner, “Other inmates,” replied the super- intendent. “We have no money to hire nurses, Charities Commigsioner Kingsbury sald to-day that while he bgp recelved medicine?” inionport; Catherine Piazso, Nov. 8; | th !near Turn Sevenin, says a'deapateh EPR NPN Clash at Frontier May Force ¥ Balkan State to Join a the Allies, js PARIS, Feb. &—Austrian treope @ violated the Roumanian frontiet from Nish.
