Probable Strength Of Allies.

"As to the armies. II is still more
difficult 10. give reliable figures. Mon
fenegro. for instance, is credited with
four divisions, which. Mt about 5000
men to division, would constitute an
army OF 10000 men. but as Montenegro
has a population of only about 100000
this would mean one soldier TO every

portion. Thirty thousand men would
be very liveral estimate.
''Bulgaria Is said TO have an army Of
something over 100000. That Of Ser

CHARITIES DEPT.
 NOW OFFICIALLY
 WITHOUT OFFICERS
CLERK O'NEILL FILLS DOUBLE ROLE-OUT OF TOWN MEN CANDIDATES FOR JOSEPH V. BRENNAN'S PLACE - THOMAS HALLEN'S CHANGES.

Throughout the present week Clerk Dennis E. O'Neill of the Charities de- partment has been acting in the dual role of clerk and superintendent of outside poor, filling the vacancy left by the resignation of Joseph V. Bren- nan, who filled that office for so many years.
 Officially the charities department is without employees at the presen; time, the officers of the department the employees of Lakeview home and the attaches of the Emergency hos pital are filling their respective posi- one else has been appointed, and all are holding over until appointments are made. The situation will be changed at the special meeting of the board on Monday afternoon when new officers will be named and some of the present ones retained.
 Thomas Hallen, brother of Judge Edward F. Hallen, Is the local can- didate with the strongest endorsement for the office of superintendent of out side poor. For years he has been a staunch Republican and has been a loyal party worker. His friends claim he Is entitled to the office as a reward for this
 The power that is'' in the Repub- Hcan party, however, IS Sald to De strongly in favor of bringing in ar outside man for the job. Fred C. Johnson of Kansas City, visited Bridgeport in the earlier part of the week, in connection With this posi- tion, having been invited here by Charities Commissioner Richardson with whom he was acquainted. MT Johnson is in charge of one of the departments in the Kansas City chari- ties system. Another outside man is also due for a visit, according to ru- nor, to see about the job. MT. John son has returned home.

PURCHASE OF A ''PULM0T0R" TO
 BE URGED HERE

At one of the meetings of the char ities board in the near future the question of purchasing a ''pulmotor'' to be added to the equipment of the Emergency hospital will be brought before the board by the medical staff.
 The "pulmotor" is a machine in- vented in recent years by a Chicago doctor, and designed to give very efficient artificial respiration in all cases of asphyxfa tion-such as drown> ing, illuminating gas poisoning, etc.
 At present the Emergency surgeons are much handicapped in such cases and can do little but administer the usual forms of artificial respiration by working the arms, legs, chest and and tongue of the patient. which at best is very slow and unsatisfactory means and often fails of it's purpose.
 The "pulmotor" is S: Nachine which actually inflates and deflates the lungs of the patient, pumping air in and out with mechanical precision un- til the blood is oXygcnated and the na- tural respiration begins to return.
 Wonderful stories of the work of this invention are told and it is a matter of medical record and careful investigation that the ''pulmotor'' has restored life after actual death" has officially taken place, i. e., after the patient has entirely stopped breath ing and the heart stopped beating
 The purchase of this instrument, which is not very expensive device, it is believed will be particularly de- sirable at the present time when the swimming season is approaching and drownings and near-drownings will be of frequent occurrence around Bridgeport and vicinity. With the auto-ambulance to render quick ser vice and the "pulmotor" to do the rest. many lives may he saved that would otherwise be sacrificed and the purchase of the instrument will be accordingly urged.

 AGAINST LOWERING
 TARIFF ON METALS
Powerful Protected Industry Succeeds
 In Controlling Republican Ma jority On Committee
fSracf.I from I1nffed Pras

Especial from United PreSs.)
 Washington, April 5-"Ill-advised and most unfortunate legislation is the commentary expressed, today. by the Republican majority of the Sen ate finance committee on the Demo- cratic metals schedule revision.
 ''The bill." the report declares would reduce the measure of protec- tion below the margin of safety and tend to destroy one of our most inn portant industries, opening wide our domestic markets to foreign steel and ron producers; it is not only an un- productive but also fails as a revenue measure as it would result in a de- f1cit for which no provision is made it is not based on open hearings or upon any investigation of manufac- turing conditions, labor cost or other facts necessary to be known; it is not responsive to any need or neces- sity for a general revision of the rates of the present metal schedule and should not, therefore, be enacted
 Hearings before the Senate commit tee, the report continues, indicated widespread opposition to the reduc- tions proposed.
 "Your committee" the majority de- clares, 'tis of the opinion that a gen eral reduction in the metal schedule not based on the most accurate and definite information possible to ob. tain would be dangerous. This bill makes an average reduction of about 30 percent. So radical and unreason- able a reduction must result in either forcing manufacturers to reduce wages or to close factories"

The study on the mans face as he tried to pretend he enjoyed the food was 8 sight for the gods. With the happy expression of a man who r1asticates an acetic acid pickel, he tried to down the beans and ham despite the fact that he wasn't hungry in the least When about half through he caved in and roared for. mercy, but the prosecutor made him finish the ungrateful meal to the very last bean, and then sent panhandler. Next time he wants a drink he will know enough to ask, for it. ss..s,7,-s.s,3..s ss 5.s- ,..-
