Army It la well known that, during the recent days of draft registration, there were many aliens who refused Jto claim exemption on the ground of their nationality. One of the most ' Interesting cases is that of a Japanese I resident of California, who is now a private In a machine gun company at Camp Lewis, Washington. Al though not a citizen, he was satisfied to enter .the National Army with the double aim of fighting German au I tocracy and winning American citi zenship. , In a style somewhat reminiscent of (Wallace Irwin's famous' Japanese 'schoolboy correspondent, he writes: , "I became American soldier since iAug. SO. This is rather astonishing I nsws to you. As you know, this gov ernment required registration of al I male population for recruiting, both natives and aliens. Any Japanese I who registers stating he will fight fo 'Japanese government is exempted ! from military service here. But ; when I registered last year, I could j not say so. It may sound queer for Japanese to enter the American army, 'Jbut is not Japanese government tight ling against Germany? My enlistment : here can bring same effect as my ser : vice in Japanese army. If I say 1 i would rather enter Japanese army, it would not be so pleasing to American i But on the other hand, if I answered 1 1 am willing to fight with them, does B aot give them satisfaction? I am ! unmarried; hence I will be a U. s- clt- izen If allowed: first showing f am ' worthy of it. by fighting for them. The writer also expresses high ,' praise of the way in which the United States government takes care of the families of its soldiers. Stating that he hopes to be in France by December, he concludes: "There may be dan ger, hut nertalnlv also pleasure. We must die anyway sooner or later, me die for some just cause." Let STREET AND ORPHANAGE NAMED FOR PRESIDENT Lucca, Italy, Nov. 8 An ancient thoroughfare which for four hundred years has encircled this city on top of the Lucca wall has been officially renamed as Boulevard Presidente Wilson," in recognition of American aid extended to Italy in the war. The boulevard is so wide that twelve horses can be driven abreast in it. ' The fortification beneath it was built when Lucca was the capital of a feudal duchy and has been a famous relic for centuries. On the same day an American Red Cross orphanage, also built on top of the great Lucca wall, was dedicated. This curious site was selected for lack of an available location in the town. The building is a cunning adaptation !of the Luccan style, painted to con form with the wall and set with an cient panels and Latin mottoes. The orphanage was erected by the Ameri can Red Cross in fifty days to house a group of soldiers' children orphan ed during the war. AUTUMN. When every leaf has different hue And flames of birch tree blow; And high against November blue ?The white cloud's bent in bow; When droning thresher hums its song And tale of harvest proves, And rusty steers the lane-ways throng.

If Claims Made Are True It Is One of Greatest Revo lutions in History. Germany claims to have democra tized its government. If so, one of the greatest revolutions of history has taken place over night. The mighti est despotism the world ever saw, suddenly disappears. In its place we have a democratic monarohy, con forming to President ; Wilson' de mands. It takes a shell game artist at a "county fair to do anything so neat. Great revolutions like these, if au thentic, are attested by indisputable evidence. Any constitutional change in the United States Is the subject of long debate in public assembly, and is finally agreed to by vote attested and put on record by the lawful au thorities. English liberties date back to Magna Charta. You can find an original copy of it in Lincoln cathe dral today. When has any proclamation of ab dication of his imperial power been made by Emperor William II of Ger many? Under the German consti tution, he has the power of making 'defensive war." As he can set up the claim that any war is "dtefensive," tnis practically gives mm tne ngnt to make war anytime he wants to. Where and when has he abdicated this power? Let him come forward and present a signed proclamation giving up the right. Under the German constitution, the Federil Council can authorize the Kaiser to make an "offensive war. As this body does not represent the people, the Council must formally by attested vote renounce this right, be fore tbe first step toward democrati zation has been made. The claim set forth by the Ger man government that it has placed sovereign power in the hands of the people is too transparent to deceive a class of school children. GREAT A I K EXTINCT. SAY NATURALISTS. Egp,s of any kind are expensive enough nowadays, but those of th great auk are so high and not oil account of the war either that only a millionaire could afford to buy a dozen. Indeed, it is doubtful if there are more than that many in the world. The great auk was a sea-fowl that in .former days had its most impor tant breeding place on a rock called Funk Island, thirty-two miles off the Newfoundland coast. Whalers pro visioned their ships with the birds which were so fat that they are said 'to have been utilized as fuel), and ) fishermen stole their eggs by whole sale. In consequence of such depreda tions the species became extinct about seventy years ago, and today to represent it there are only a few stuffed specimens and skeletons in museums. Also a few eggs, one o' vhlch in 1859, fetched $90 at auction Since then, however, they have gone up. In 1882 one was sold for $550: ar other egg, in 1895, was knocked cVwn at $825. Four years later one brought $1,500, and in 1900 the price quoted for a specimen was $1, 678. ; . The Smithsonian Institution pos sesses an egg an 1 a harrelful of mis cellaneous auk bor.es the latter col lected by a scientific expedition which it sent to Funk Island for- the pur pese. One day a few years ago a scientist cennected with the Smithsonian hap vened to be in London and, passing a toxidermist's shop, he saw a stuffed great auk in the window. He nearly dropped with astonishment. But just as arrangements for its purchase at a great price were or the point of being completed, the dis covery was made that the bird was a "camouflage," made out of odds and ends of ducks, geese anS1 other barn yard fowls. HEED REGIONAL ADVISOR KEEP CONTRACTS HERE Bradford D. Pierce, regional ad visor for the Bridgeport branch of the Resources and Conversion section of the War Industries Board calls the attention of Bridgeport manufacturers to the lists of requirements for the army and navy, which are received daily at the office of the Chamber of Commerce. Either Mr. Pierce or F. Kingsbury Bull, secretary of the Sec ond Regional division, will answer any inquiries. Many contracts have been let to out of town firms, when local manufacturers were in a position to do the work. Mr. Pierce urges local firms to keep in touch with the office. and to keep the government contracts in this district as much as possible.

Destroyer, Ameri can Port in France, Nov. 9 (Asso ciated Press) Two days at sea, two days In port; this is the sailor's life week in and week out, day and night, in the convoy service of " American destroyers which has achieved such marvelous results an army of two million men, landed in Europe with the loss of a few hundreds. The destroyer fleet was just back from the latest cruise as we went aboard today. They had brought in six big transports, including three former German liners. Already ITie soldiers were marching to camp, and on board the destroyers things were being made ship-shape for the brief stay in port and then for the next adventure out beyond the capes, for with submarines off the port there is ceaseless vigilance, with always the chance of something happening, and everyone on the tip-toe of expecta tion. The reports brought back of the last cruise were of the best. It had been comparatively quiet' and the transports had been brought through without sign of a submar'ne. In fact it was so promising the previous Sun day that the commander of the fleet , remarked they were going to have a quiet day. Alarm Sounded But at nine in the morning there was an alarm, with all the gun and torpedo crews springing to their posts and after that four successive alarms through this quiet day. though none of the alarms developed into an ac tual attack.. It showed, however, the steady tension even when conditions looked best, for it was known that hostile craft had been lurking off the beach rocks near the mouth of the V.nV.nH ,1 Ann f ...... 1-, 1 r snipe nau ueen a.Liuceu as it came in a few weeks ago. On the big destroyers the crew is always on watch during a convoy.

Besides these there is the gun crew watch, the depth charge watch, and the tor pedo watch always on the qui vive for the sound of the bell which calls them into action. - City Dispensary Clinics Fix Hours The first meeting of the staff of the City Dispensary was held in the new j Health and 'Welfare building last j night.

ISOLATE "GERM" iriiinii nfmniro TRENCH FEVER Bacteriologist Shows News paper Man Three Lively Specimens of Animal. American Army . Laboratory, France, Nov. 9 (Correspondence of Associated Press) "This is the cause of trench' fever," said the bac teriologist as he opened a small met al box about the size of a pill box and disclosed three tiny germs lying beneath bits of leaf. One of the par ticles was so 'small a microscope was needed to see it, but two others were well decveloped and lively, one of them lying on its back with its legs up. "They are thoroughbreds," he add ed referring to the germs as though they were high-bred race horses. The thoroughbreds are kept for research and experimental purposes, it was ex plained. Thisspecie conveys trench fever much as the mosquito, malaria from one infested person to another. But as these thoroughbreds had not been in contact with infection they could not convey it. They were there fore harmless, so much so that they were fed by being placed on the bac teriologist's arm. Rolling up his sleeve he showed the pin .pricks where they had made their last meal. -It was a harmless abrasion, and thus the thoroughbreds were kept for the continuing re search which is clearing up this trou blesome phase of army disease, trench fever. Bacteriological research is but one of many branches of the extensive research work being carried on here by the Central Laboratory of the American Army in Europe. It is a very practical work, dealing with the many new maladies coming from gas attacks, gun shock, the subterranean life in trenches, as well as the infin ite variety of surgical problems grow ing out of wounds from new and deadly explosives. Besides the scientific research it is the great central institution for a cir cle of smaller laboratories all through the army zone, with Specialists ready to go to any point where an epidemic or a case of unusual character de velops. Besides, the trench fever microbe, the' bacteriological laboratory had countless other germs, of typhoid, diptheria, malaria, dysentery, tuber culosis and the whole range of mala dies which find lodgment in an army. The germ cultures are in long spind ly bottles. They present a deadly ar senal of disease germs which would decimate a whole city if they were unloosed. A large oven of white enamel was t one side of the laboratory, and opening the door of the oven one saw the germ cultures being developed to full growth, much as chickens are de- veloifbd in incubators. A mild heat, always kept uniform, carries on the work of germ ' growth. Soft cotton was spread over the oven, and on this lay thk cultures, some exposed and some inv the long bottles, slowly ma turing to the full grown state where the full effect of their deadly prop erties can be examined and studied. NO STREET CARS IN HOLYOKE Holyoke. Mass., Nov. 9 Pursuant tc the decision of the employes of the Holyoke street railway system to strike at midnight, when a conference of representatives of the company and employes and Mayor John D.

Hair that loses its color asd lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of oth er ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which dark ens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and givesit an appearance" of abundance. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet" requisite to impart color - and a youthful ap pearance to the hair. It is not in tended for the cur, mitigation or pre vention of disease.- Adv. Rheumatism Goes Torturing Pains, and Swollen Joints Vanish WTicii Rheuma-Is Used At last a real remedy for rheuma tism! And a good one it must be jWhen Hartigan's drug stores and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no-cure no-pay basis. Rheumatics should hail the news I with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has a rec ord of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga., says about it: , ."I had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors, was treated at one of the best south ern sanatoriums, and if I improved any I did not realize it. I am a con ductor on the Central of Georgia Reil road, and had secured a pass to Hot Springs, Ark., to tfike treatment. About that.time I saw Rheuma advertised'! and concluded to try It. I abandoned ' my trip, took three bottles, and now feel as well as ever. I am going to make everybody I see who has rheu matism try it. I would not take a hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me. I would rather be dead than live as I was be fore the use of Rheuma." ' If you have rheumatism in any form, don't delay try Rheuma today. A large bottle.sufficient for two weens' treatment, is not expensive, and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief. Adv. GEN. WOOD URGES HIS TROOPS TO CARRY ON Camp Funston, Kansas, Nov. 9 Major-Gen. Leonard Wood yesterday posted the following appeal to men of the Tenth Division: "Even if an armistice is signed it does not mean the end of. the war. It simply means that the terms of peace, will be discussed. They may or may not be agreed upon. The work and training of the division will go on with the same energy and spir it as heretofore. "There is nothing in the present situation which justifies a change of procedure on our part, and as sol diers it is cur duty to carry on with out reference to an armistice until we receive instructions to the con trary."

YOURS FOR DEMOCRACY 1 SiFTejt gt POLISH LEADERS IN MAINTAIN TRADE FOR NEFIT Organization of Falcons, Which Has Sought Freedom of - Poland, Helping Members to Be Good Americans and Also to Progress in 'Ways of Living Own Building in Main Street Where Educational Classes Ar-Cori-ducted. .- Working day and night, year In and year out, for the freedom of their people in Russia, Austria and Ger- many,-and for the Americanization of their fellow countrymen in America, Polish leaders throughout the coun try, and Bridgeport in particular, are not letting the news of an early peace and the fact that their people will be freed stop their efforts.

The Polish Falcons of this city are doing all this. Organized In 1904 s f.or back as 1904 an organization was perfected in Bridgeport which .iiuentlv known as the Pol'sh Falcons' Association. At that time the association was established as -an athletic club and meeting place for the young Folanders who had come to America. That was the outside ap pearance of the organization. But down in the bottom of every mem ber's heart was the realization that the organization was established primarily to aid in gaining political and religious freedom for Poland. It was hard work to establish an organ ization of this kind in America. The Polish Falcons were originally, organ ized in Europe and developed more freely in Galicia than in either Ger many or Russia. 'Because of perse cution in all of these countries the society took on the form of a secret organization. The natinal emblem of the country they were in was an eagle different from the American eagle. Therefore, in order to keep their standing in their respectivt countries, they took for their emblem i the falcon, a bird resembling the eagle in many ways. As a result wlin their emblem was first noticed in Aus tria it was not suspected that this organization was one opposed to the government and working for the free dom of Poland. On seeing the em blem the government took it for granted that it was a patriotic or ganization and it was many years be fore they were suppressed. The history of the Falcons In Eu rope became known in America and this was the cause of the many set backs that confronted the leaders who wanted to establish a strong organ ization here. They were looked on with suspicion. Gradually, however, various organ izations sprung up throughout the United States and the first Polish 'Falcons-in NeW England was established here, by Felix Walterdorf, formerly of this city. They were only able to obtain a few members, but under the leader ship of E. Salomonwicz an athletic a low ebb, and dancing and athletic carnivals were held to obtain funds for the purchase of supplies. These funds were instrumental in the pur chase of a building. Now in 1917 the club was started, and small club '"'rrTltwiniini'i'i M United States Food Administration, License No. G02142. eeials for Tuesday NOV. 12th, '18. MEAT DEPARTMENT.

Education Replaces Athletics Gradually came the realization that they must work for their own build ings, and in 1916, after many years if struggling to maintain their organiza tion, and during which time the ath letic idea had been supplanted by the educational one, and dramatic and literary clubs formed, the property at 640 South Main street was purchased Naugatuck railroad offices ami renovated to be used as a club room and school. On January 1, 1917, the Polish Falcon Trade school was established, this idea having been planted in the minds of the men who negotiated for the purchase of the old railroad office . building. The board of directors con. sisted of Peter Knap, now president of the organization; K. Krolikwinisky and B. Ziolkowski, ail of this city. In 1he early days, finances were at same means were used to obtain mon ey to carry on a trade school. Must Be Americans But that was not all. These Polish leaders demanded that the Polish peo ple become good Americans. They asked that they be grateful, loyal and patriotic to the country that had given them freedom, and had even given' them the means of helping their op pressed brothers in Europe. So a class in civic was formed in addiUon to the teaching of English to the Po lish people. They were taught Amer icanism. Frank Siara, of the American In ternational College at Springfield, Mass., who was one of the first in structors of the trade school, took on the added duties of teaching both Eng lish and civics. His efforts were met with laudable success, and today Mr. Siara says that every member of the Polish Falcons will be an American citizen within a short time. The trade school progressed rapidly. Machinery was bought as fast as funds could be obtained. Prof. Matuszko witz of the Bridgeport Trade school, a noted instructor in mechanical engi neering, was obtained to teach the young men of the school one evening a week. Mr. Siara continued to teach the trade school and the classes in English and civioe. Efforts were made to obtain more machinery and E. P. Bullard of the Bullard Machine Tool Co., announced that he would not only help the Fal cons out in the matter of machinery, but would give the young men who were at the school work to do, as? when they had completed their courts would see that they obtained employ ment.
