RUSH FOR STAMPS
 STILL CONTINUES

Sfea 4
 aOver a thousand persons this morn ing thronged the offices of the Inter nal Revenue department where the clerks were on the jump caring for their wants Nearly a hundred per-. sons who had neglected to declare their EImergeIcy War taxes on De- cernber first were noted to take ad4 vantage of the extension of time granted by the goyernuaent before penalties will be enforced. It is be- Heved that another day of grace will be granted but those who have failed to make declarations should not de- lay as this is not an assured fact and the law specifically terminted the pe- riod on December |
 Dealers about the city in proprie- tary articles have been informed by the department that they may tempo rarily sell such articles as have not been stamped, their good faith being relied upon to secure stamps at the earliest possible moment and tQ re- port all such sales
 Those wishing to secure their sup ply Of proprietary and documentary stamps from the stamp office at Hart ford will be furnished with applica- tion blanks at the local office here

MERCHANTS SPLIT ON PLAN TO MERGE WITH CIVIC BODIES
Special Committee Investi- gating Scheme Is Enlarg- ed and Instructed to Look Further.

!.
 The Business Mems Association at an executive meeting to consider the consolidation of that organization with the Board Of Trade, held in their offices last night, split into two camps following a hot debate over the plans as submitted by the committee that had been appointed to attend the gen eral conference with other civic and industrial organizations.
 Officials of the organization, though reticent, admitted that the plans af- ter lengthy and heated discussion had that three additional members had been added.
 The Business Mems Association is the first to meet and consider the question of consolidation. The meet ing last night was semi-seeret and the only statement which would be issued today for publication was:
 The proposed consolidation was discussed and the directors present last night (15 in number1 wished fur ther information upon the subject. The plan was reported back to the present committee with an addition of three more members who will attempt to get clearer insight into the actual plan, as it relates to the integrity Of the Business Mems Association, be- fore the vote is placed before the in dividual members Of the organization as a whole.
 From private sources it was learned that the discussion Of the matter took up a considerable period of time and Kprecluded other matters that may later be taken up at special meet ing. The directors split Into two camps, one averse to joining any or ganization and losing identity as well as funds which are now on deposit in local banks; and the other hopeful bined with some larger body that will give Bridgeport a much needed or ganization with wider scope than the presetn civic bodies, and yet retain the integrity of the present organi-
 zation which members are jealous oe losing.
 The original committee including
 Frank D. Bell, R. T.. Whiting and E. H. Havens has been augmented by
 the addition of Carl Foster attorney for the association, s. E. Vincent and George E. Crawford. It is likely that another special meeting will soon be called after which the whole matter
 will be referred to the individual memberh for their vote.
 A discussion of the White Way pro ject did not result in definite action. as the plans Of the general committee l including the lamp committee of the
 common council and other bodies had not been proclaimed
 l F. T.. Graves Of this city was au-
 thorized to attend the meeting of the
 directors of the Connecticut Chamber
 of Commerce held at Hartford today I as an alternate for Director Charles D. Davis, who was unable to attend. 1 It was said that two topics of dis cussion today were to be ideas ferrnu- I lated in Bridgeport at the instigation of the Manufacturers association: The Optional Charter bill, providing that a city, town or borough may by referendum vote apply for a new | charter or charter revision; and a | proposition looking towards increas- I ing the powers of the present Public | Utilities Commission

SIGHT
 CAUSES VACATION
 OF PASTOR STEUP
Minister for IS Years, He Must Have Long Rest
 to Save Eyes

The congregation of the German Evangelical Lutheran Zion church are deeply regretting the resignation of their pastor, W. H. Steup, which was effected some weeks ago.. Rev. MT. Steup, who has had charge of the local parish for the past four and one-half years, was compelled to give up hds work entirely because of his failing eyesight. Doctors tell him that rest of several months will cure him and with this in view, he and his family have taken a house near the church, where it is hoped the popular pastor will be able to recuperate. He hopes to be able to take up his duties as a pastor again at the end of the period of. resting.
 Meanwhile, the members of the par isI1 are trying to find as able a man to fill the parish which MT. Steup has left A call has been extended to Rev. Martin L. Steup of Norwa1k. a reIa- tive of the resigning pastor. The Nor walk minister has been substituting for MT. Steup for several weeks but his parish refuses to allow him to leave them as they have just com pIeted a new church which his ef- forts made possible and he is very popular among them.
 RevW. H. Steup came to Bridgeport from Oil City, Pa, which was his first parish and where he spent Il years. He attended BronxvilIe college, Fort Wayne college and St. Louis seminary and has been a. minister for IS years.
 The Bridgeport church is 9. most prosperous one. having congregation of some 500. There is a school which has a German teacher in charge, 9 fine church building and parsonage on the church property.

JAPAN DEMANDS

 control of the Asiatic coast from 55 de- grees to 30 degrees north. and would completely block Russia. from her strategic and naval base yIadivostock. north of Korea on the Japanese sea. The offer was tentatively declined
 The next diplomatic move of i'm portance came when Japan was ask ed by England and France to furnish 200 0;000 soldiers in the western theater of the war. To this inquiry Japan is reputed to have replied: We will send these men providing we are giv- en in return ALL THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH COLONIES in the Far East tfnent of Australia. This offer also has been tentatively declined.
 f Acquieseence in the demands of Ja- pan would mean that she would Se- cure Cochin China and Tonhin, a large territory on the South China Sea. df- reetIy opposite the Philippine islands, also the Straits Settlements of England bordering on the Straits of Ma1acca, which is a most important naval base, as we'll as the countless small islands surrounding the Philippines and ad-1 joining the Caroline Islands, the La. drones and other islands already cap tured by the Japanese from the Ger mans It would also mean acqulsi- tion by the Japanese of British North Rorneo closely situated to the prov ince of Mindanao already held by the. United States.
 Further dipIomatic negotfatir1s. as outlined in Dr. Duesing's letter show that England has endeavored to draw Portugal into the war by offering to secure for her that section of terri tory in the C.a1ab1ian mountains run ming directly north from the eastern boundary of Portugal to the Bay of Biscay,- thus giving Portugal a large additional area of territory and more ports on both the Atlantic ocean and the Bay of Biscay. How this ac- quisition of territory is to be given to Portugal by purchase or conquest, and the answer of Portugal has not been made public in German diplomatic councils.
 Dr. Duesing, while forecastfng that Germany may be able to hold out against her present opponents, pre-
 diets that should the allies eventually
 be compelled to pay the enormous
 price asked by the Japanese, the cost to the United States as well as Russia and England would be enormous.
 The capture of Kiao Chau by the l Japanese and English is reported in Germany to have been at great loss and lapse of time on the part of the
 allies While it is said that the port
 was defended but by 4,000 Germans, so we'll was the defense sustained that ie required 65 days Of siege and 12. 500 men in the two gassau1ts. It is also
 said that 60.ooO Japanese and 2,O0o English soldiers were required in the
 capture. Kiao Chau is held as proof positive that the Germans were not the aggressors in the war, for 1t is said that the port had not been pro- visioned for siege and the foresight | of the Germans would have attended 1 to this detail had war been antici- pated.
