Hun or Pro-German.
Testerday afternoon Brldgeporters
Were interested in a little man, clean
cut and bronzed, who walked with
the aid of a heavy stick but who had
the indelible stamp which army ser
vice leaves upon a man. He was
none other than "Hell's Fire Jimmy"
; Riley, D. C. M., late of the British
Army, who has Just returned to
Bridgeport his home town after be
ing discharged from the hospital.
Private Harry Jarman Riley, when
the war broke out was a sailor on
board the 8. S. Mongolia, and while
In a British port August 5, 1914, he
joined up with the Third Suffolk Reg
iment with which famous organiza
tion he went through the heaviest
and darkest periods of the world con-
' f llct. His record in part covers the
first and second battle3 of Loos, said
to be one of the bloodiest fights In
history, the battle of Albert, Arras,
Longevllle, and the first and second
battle of TDres.
Later he aerved with the first Bri
tish tank ever in action at Thiepvale,
and while with the tank corps, was
badly gassed. This added to the
other wounds he received in earlier
engagements put him out of action.
But his experience with the Hun was
not to end even there for although
his bodv is covered with, scars he re
ceived a few more when the Boches
raided and bombed the hospital he
happened to be in. He was fortunate
in not getting "done in" although
other wounded and sick, along with
nurses and doctors, were killed all
about him.
Riley, saved the life of his sergeant
under a galling fire at the battle of
'Loos and for his utter contempt of
death was awarded the Distinguish
ed Conduct Medal, by King George,
who pinned the decoration on Riley's
pajama coat while he lay in a hos
pltal bed.
While in his home town Riley will
do some missionary work for vari
ous charitable organizations and will
also address the men employed in
the various munition shops as to what
they might expect if the Hun is not
beaten and beaten badly. He will also
tell of three and a half year's experi
ence covering the period when the
hours were darkest for the Allies
In speaking about the Boche, last
night Riley said, "War to the knife
'Is the only way to deal with Ger
many, and the harder we give it to
them the sooner we will get it through
their thick Bkulls and shrivelled
souls that there is still a vestige of
civilization left on earth."
Riley, has a long record of won
derful work done in behalf of the
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., K. of C, Sal
vation Army, and in fact every orga
nization engaged in charitable war
work. ,
In speaking about the threatened
strike in the munition shops Riley,
jbecame almost infuriated with indig
nation and said to a group of dissat
fled machinists, "You men are get
,ting good wages, big wages, and I be
.lleve in workers getting all they are
worth, but these are war times; men
are fighting for one shilling a day
jln the British Army and one dollar a
day in the American army. They are
Buffering, being shot at, dying it
needs be, for your protection.
"Do not let anyone make you dis
satisfied with your pay. Any fellow
:Who tries to interfere between work
jlngmen and employer is a Hun or a
! pro-German. If you take my advice
put him out of business at once."

THAT SUGAR MAY
BE CURTAILED
Hartford,' Aug. 16. -In a circular
letter Issued today to retail grocers
in Connecticut, Federal Food Admin
istrator Robert Scovllle warned them
that Connecticut's August allotment of
sugar for retailers has been exceeded
to such an extent that possibly no
sugar certificates whatever can be is
sued for September on statement "E"
applications, the "E" class relating to
retailers. ' .
Grocers, who have been prodigal in
their use of canning certificates to the
extent that in many cases it has be
come an abuse and who have been
slow or careless in accepting the Food
Administration's repeated warning
that two pounds, and only two pounds,
of sugar per capita per month were
available, ere given a final caution .by
Mr. Scoville that they must limit their
sales absolutely to the two pounds
per capita basis. Mr. SeoviHe's letter
In full is as follows:
"To All Retail Grocers:
"In order to satisfy the large num
ber of retailers who have applied for
eugar certificates it has been neces
sary to exceed the amount allotted to
this state for the month of August.
Present Indications are that we will
have substantially no sugar to issue
against statement 'E applications for
the month of September. ,
"It will therefore necessary for you
to limit your sales so that BUgar now
in stock and certificates now In your
possession supply your trade- until Oc
tober 1." We Buggest that no more
sugar be sold on canning certificates
and urge you to use "every effort to
limit sales on the basis of. strictly two
pounds per capita per month."
