WHOLE REGIMENT WIPED OUT
 IN FEW MINUTES AT YPRES

London. Nov. 17-AlI reports from the scene of fighting in northern France indicate that the weather con ditions for the past few days have been terrible. Heavy rain. falling continuously for 36 hours. has turned all the roads into quagmires while the trenches are flooded and the low lands everywhere are largely covered by water. Everything possible is be- ing done to make the troops comfort- able, to prevent their being flooded out of the trenches and to avoid cave ins Meanwhile, the artillery battle continues.
 The following story of the wiping out of 2,O00 Germans comes from a wounded soldier from the Ypres front:

Paris, No. 17-An Athens despatch to the Haas Agency, says:
 sThe American warship Tennessee has arrived at thae port of Vurla, Asia Minor, and has put stop to ill-treat- ment of British, French and Russian residents. The authorities of Smyrna, fearing a, bombardment, have left for the interior. A staff officer, writing from the battle line, even goes so far as to predict that within another month the allies will be in a position to drive the enemy from French soil.
 Some details of the taking of Dix nude which the Germans still hold but which thus far has brought them no advantage, have reached here. The capture of the Germans, 1t appears was due to a mistake on the part Of a French detachment.
 When the fighting started the Bel gdans were entrenched north Of the city, protecting the. Keyen road. To their right, turned toward the west in the direction of Essen, were the Senegalese rif1enen. To the south French bluejackets occupied the most exposed position ca the Clerken road. The enemy opened a terrific Lombard ment at a. m. on Tuesday, during which the admiral who was in com mand of the sailors and who was making reconnaissance just missed being hit by a fragment of Q. shell.
 The men waited patiently in the trenches. Toward 1 p. m. the cam

London, Nov 17-Contrary to ex- pectations, the coming winter seems to have had more effect on the opera tions on the western battle front than on the east. Here the Germans are making desperate efforts to divert the Russians from East Prussia by re- suming a vigorous offensive at two points near the center of this long frontier line
 Berlin experts. judging from the re- ports reaching London, have been dis cussing the German retreat from War saw with great candor. They declare they are as proud of the skill with which this movement was accom- plished as are the English of their retirement after the battle of Mons. They admit, also that the efforts Of the Germans to emulate Jackson.s success by a narrow margin and only because the Russians were not caught mapping.
 The Germans seem confident of a. favorable outcome to their renewed offensive along the river Warthe and their ability to resume the aggressive shows strikingly the advantage which the possession strategic railroads gives a warning power. It is the opinion of British observers that the Germans are determined to force the invaders from East Prussia, and that they are striking two blows, one from the north and the other from the northwest. in the general direction of Flock and Kutnow, with the object of paralyzing the Russian advance along the southern frontier of East Prussia
 Despatches from Petrograd convey ing official reports say. that the .tbTil- liant and unexpected'' seizure of Johannisburgl so sdisconcerted the Ger mans that their offensive movement } along the river Warthe was started prematureIy. Russia is reticent re- garding the success of these move ments while Berlin reports them pro- gressing favorabIy.
 Petrograd reports the first Russian reverse at the hands of the Turks by admitting that a superior force of heavier artillery compelled the Rus sian advance to halt on it's march to the Deseboyun range of mountains which protects the city of Erzerum, in Turkish Armenia Koprukeui, 30 miles east of Erzerum. which was won by hard lighting, had to be abandon ed by the Russians.

'STOP' THIEF IS A LAUGHING HIT Al
 LYRIC PLAYHOUSE
Carlyle Moore's Farce Ably Enacted by Calburn Players New Artists Introduced.

s4sfop Thief,,' Carlyle AEooreis farce, v1birIed itself and the CaTburn Stock company into the heart of Bridgeport CTS last night at the Lyric theater.
 This play, without a doubt the fun niest in years, was presented with all the completeness and finish of the orr iginal production. Lowell Sherman and Inez Ragans won another personal triumph last night.
 Stop Thief that queer conbina- ton of real crooks, kleptoman1acs ana wedding guests, is the best cure for the blues on the stage today. The humorous situations are innumerable- One follows the other until tine man in front wonders just what can hap pen next
 Sherman scored a hit. It has only been a short time since he played the same bart in New York so he was
 Miss Ragan, as his pal. gave hdm fine support The combination proved to be a wonder for getting laughs, In the third act a fitting, climax is given when the crook takes his girl pal un- der his wing, sweeps aside the po- lice that hound him and breaks for liberty.
 Miss katherine Webb and Francis x. CoraIon added more admirers to the list they acquired last week. The work of Henry Jarrett as the police sergeant was clever. MT Jarrett played the part with the original conn., pany.
 Miss Madelaine Moore and Charles Swem played their roles in a pleas ing and different manner. The work of Miss Emma De Veal proclaims her a character actress of unusual talent.
 New members of the company wfso appear in 'sStop Thief' 'are Miss Nan Bernard, Bernard Thornton, Joseph Bgerton, Fred Roland, Henry Jarrett Arthur Freeman, Walter Mason, WFn Camp, and Miss Emma De veal.
 Stop Thief will be played at the Lyric all the rest of this week. There will be a matinee every afternoon re- maining in the week.

Odd Human at Plaza Theatre Challenges Scrutiny of Stu dents of Science.


 T am ready and willing, in fact, am anxious to meet any and all medical men or scientific students who believe that T dislocate the joints of any of my limbs in my exhibition said Willard, "Theg Man Who Crows to a Farmer reporter last evening when interviewed at the Plaza where he is appearing the first half of the week
 Willard is causing a. sensation by his ability to grow from six to seven inches taller at will while talking to arm to nearly fifteen inches. He is claimed to be the only man in the world wso can beat the Bertillion system by means of which the U. $. officials identify criminals and he created much comment some years ago when taking the examinations for enlistment in the U. s. army.
 He has been examined by the lead ing scientists of Europe where he ap- peared for four years and all have acclaimed him mystery, while Will lard himself declares that it is nothin g more than the development of the in- voluntary muscles of the body. Many debates on the subject have been waged but all to no avail and he grows whenever he likes to the won d@rment of all.
 A school where men, undersized in Stature, are taught to groE may seem a joke to many. but such a school Is being established by Willard in Eu- rope, but is temporarily held up be- cause of the war. Willard does not claim to be able to grow to any height he wishes. nor does he claim thai he can make others. grow. any suggested height, but he does claim that he can grow to a certain limit and that anyone else who will spare the time and who. will work as he has may do the same.

 On Sunday a regiment of 5000 Germans attacked our position. At a distance of 300 yards our artillery opened g. terrible fire and moved them down. They recoi1ed but re- formed and returned. This time they reached the hundred yard mark and again recoiled and reformed.
 With only third of their origi- nal strength they advanced again. Our officers ordered us to hold our fire and let them advance. At 20 yards the order came to Let them have it. We did. and the German regiment ceased to exist

 A communication from the Bridge port & Danbury Electric Railway Go. was read by Superintendent Gordon relative to the amount of damages in a collision between one of their cars and the automobile ambulance near St. Vincent's hospital several weeks ago. The company is willing to pay half the damages but objects to pay ing the entire amount The anbu- lance is covered by accident insurance and it was voted to place the matter in the hands of the insurance company for adjustment. The railroad officials contend that the conductor and mo- torman heard no signal and their in vestigation convinced them that the company was not to blame.
