Improvement of Treasure Fields

Jordan & Selleck are rather proud of the new streets just completed at Treasure Fields. For the past two weeks a large gang of men and teams have been steadily at work puttiny the fifty-foot streets in first class con- dition. Jordan and Selleck are ir- viting all their customers and others interested in Treasure Fields to come down and see the new streets and other mum erous Improvements that they are making. It is a little unusual to note that Jordan and Selleck are aking improvements on the section of Treasure Field already sold as we'll as on the section they are now selling. Mir. Jordan says making inn provements on the property alreac- sold is in line with our policy of giv- ing our customers all and a little more than we promise them, and is one Of the reasons that a Jordan and Selleck customer is always a booster" In talking of the real estate situation. as concerns the building lot business, in New Britain, MT. Jordan said: "Yes it is true that there is lot of compe- tition in our line just now. but we have always felt that there is room for all in the real estate field. We have our own methods, and our connections have theirs, we always feel pretty certain that we will get our share of the business, and are satisfied that our competitors should get theirs The advertising of land and land sales is a nightly good thing aside from the commercial stand point, it gets the idea in everyone's head that he should own place to put his home. and if did not believe this was a good idea to be in every Americans head l would not be in the land business"

EXODUS OF AMERICANS
 CONTINUES IN ENGLAND
4,5O0 Sail From Liverpool and LOGO
 More From Glasgow.

Liverpool, Aug. IS, 12:10 P. M.- The sailing from tins port today of the St. Louis, the Campania and the Minnewaska for New York, and the Megantic for Montreal reduced the number of Americans who had been stranded in England by 4,5OO.
 The American liner St. Paul from New York arrived here yesterday.
 London, Aug. 15, 12:10 P. M.-The departure of 4,5OO Americans from Liverpool today was followed by that of another thousand from Glas- gow.
 The carrying capacity of the ves- sells sailing for transatlantic ports during the next twenty-five days is es- timated at 60,OOO or three times the number of Americans in the British Isles.
 Offer Tickets to Committee.
 Many American tourists in London who had booked passage on small vessels or had taken steerage berths are offering to- sell their tickets to the American citizens committee, as they prefer to make later and more comforta ble passage.
 The mem DefS or the COInTnllIee Say they fail to see the necessity for the despatch of transports to take strand ed Americans back to the United States in view of the new sailings which have been announced.

miles long, said one of the military experts yesterday. At least 100000 men are under arms on each side of it, and every point in the line is covered in force. It is manifest, there fore, that it is almost impossible to penetrate this line at any point. The outlook is for a series of battles daily at various points along the line which may amount to from three to ten daily, each involving in point of num- bers from 10000 to perhaps 1OO,- 900 men on a side The results of such conflicts in themselves cannot be measured, for they are not decisive. Perhaps in week or two weeks, after a series of such engagements. some definite results will be indicated by a considerable advance or retreat on one side or the other, and such a movement alone can indicate any de- cisiVeness of action.
 Fights Mere Reconnaissances.
 ''The constant reports of the retreats of cavalry here and there after en- agreements really amount only to re- connaissance in force. As cavalry is being employed by the European ar mics now. it is the business of cav
 
 perior force, and to feel out at some other point In view of the num- Der of men and guns along the from tier, the losses in such engagements are naturally larger than usual; but separately. these engagements up to this time indicate no decisive results .
 At the present rate of progress, the war experts do not expect to see any material change in the situation for about two months. Their view is promised on the idea that the German n army will not be able to walk over the French as it did in 1S7O Tn their Judgment, the French have settled down to defensive war for the pres ent, and have the advantage of fight ing behind entertainments on interior lines.
 In the meantime the Russians are mobilizng and are yet to be heard from in force. An unexpected coup or a serious tactical blunder might, of course, upset calculations instant ly. The above, however. is the Judg 1 ment of the war experts of the de- ] Velopments and their significance up 1 to this time.

MILITARY EXPERTS X ]:
 fORESff LONG WAR stsio ---- gttat Battle Winch May Settle EuIc- Dea1 Conflict kelExpteltd At Once.

Washington,9 Aug. si15.-Although President Wilson has forbidden army and navy officers to discuss military and political developments of Europe, it is possible today to give the general 6pinion of war experts on the military developments to date on the conti-
 nent. Generally speaking, it is their
 opinion that the present situation
 forecasts longer war than has gen.
 eraily been anticipated, and the prob
 Ability that tremendous battle, in- yolving the employm ent of hundreds
 of thousands Of men, will not be fought for several days yet, if then.
 No special significance, in their opin iop,s is to be attached to the numerous conflicts between mparatively small bodies of troops, which have ciaarac terized the war up to this time.
 Dislocated German Plan.
 The strenuous opposition of the Bel gian troops to the right wing of the German army is held by the war ex- perts to have dislocated temporarily, at least the German plan of cam paign. They believe that the German right wing has been stopped at leas. fifty miles further north than the l German general staff expected. and that every inch of this ground must now be fought out exactly as though l contact had been effected on French soil itself The effect of the check is Held by some observers to have caused q serious delay in the advance of. the | German center through LuXemburg, for the reason that should this army invade French territory it would be seriously ly~exposedsrin flank by the check of the German right wing.

of the game, who have witnessed the matches thus far in the challenging round, expressed the opinion that the defenders chances of retaining the I:tmous cup in this country another year depended largely upon the ability of Williams to come back after his slump ofTfhursday and defeat Norman E. Brooks. Little fear was expressed hut that Mclaughlin could repeat his performance of Thursday against BroOkes and win from Anthony F. Wilding if the championship depended upon his efforts.
 The challengers were confident that one or the other of them would win his match and the round. After the match yesterday the Australasians be- gan making preparations to sail for home as soon as possible because England is at war. This means that none of the Australasians will take part in the national championship at Newport.

STEALS BLANKET:
 GETS THIRTY DAYS
James Jenkins Comes from Washing tOn-Will Go to Hartford for
 Next Month at Least.

Thirty days in jail was the penalty meted out to James Jenkins, alias Burns, by Judge William F. Mangan in court today. Jenkins was arrested last night by Officer Axel Carlson charged with stealing a horse blanket from Christian Flood. Jenkins said, ."I suppose I'll plead guilty" when asked what he had to say.
 Although he claimed his home is in Washington, D. C., Jenkins said he had not been there for more than d year and came New Britain yester- day from New Haven. He had been drinking and did not know what he was doing, he said.
 Two young men who were arrested by Officer Axel Carlson and Strolls on Winter street on a breach of the peace charge, Walter Ruelt and Ed ward Kicks, were each fined $1 and costs and placed on probation until it is paid. The offense was not a serious one and the two young men told the court that they were walking down the street when four strangers came along and "foolingly" tripped them up and showed them down." The fact that they tried to state that the strangers were fooling with them went against them
 The case of Thomas Kelly, who is charged with assaulting Thomas O'Brien, has been continued until Monday morning.

ELEVEN HURT WHEN
 TRoLLEYS COLLIDE
Htad,oD Crash at Fort TTumbul
 Beach, Milford.

Milford, Aug. 15.-Eleven persons were injured, none seriously, when l two trolley cars crashed in a head on collision on single track, near Rogers avenue, Fort Trumbull beach, last night. In many respects the acci- dent was similar to the recent fatal 1 crash at Westport. Both motormen
 thought they had the right of way, on
 account of the reading of the signal l lights. A Bridgeport bound car from New Haven, was ascending the grade when New Haven bound car came down
 the hill at fast speed Motorman Patrick Ryan was the most seriously hurt. He has severe cuts about the head and body a wrenched shoulder and strained knee. Several Others Injured. Others injured were Mrs. John Meehan, 1884 Seaview avenue, Bridgeport Mrs. John Meehan, IT,, same ad-
 dress.

 Miss GeOrgo 12O BaSSeck avenue, Bridgeport Mrs. M. Rosorand, summer resi- dent of Walnut Beach With the exception of Eliza beth McGovern, who has a broken nose the injuries are largely cuts and bruises. Right of Way. When the Bridgeport car left the switch at Broad street, it is said the signal lights gave the car the right of way. It is understood the motor
 man of the other car also claimed to have the right of way.
 There is sharp curve near the
 scene of the accident One of the cars stopped to take on a passenger
 about 300 feet from the scene of the crash.
 Catapulted Over Seats. When the cars came together, the passengers were catapulted over the seats. Some saw the impending crash and jumped. s. B. Smith, of Milford, landed head first in a meadow and suffered a wrenched back. An aged lady whose name could not be learned also jumped, and landed on her back. She was apparently unhurt. Most of the injured were in the forward seats of the cars, but fortu- nately none was on the front seats Motorman Ryan of Bridgeport was thrown under his seat. The fronts of both cars were smashed and traf- f1c was delayed for some time. Several Physicians Summoned Local physicians were summoned and gave medical attention to Motor man Ryan and the ten passengers. The injured were later able to leave for their homes, except Mrs. Me- Guinness, of Bridgeport, who was taken to her home in an autom obile. The scene of the accident is scarce ly twenty-five fet from the place where a serious trolley crash occurred two years ago.

Weilman recently pitched twenty seven consecutive innings without his teammates giving him a run. This streak of bad luck was broken in the twelfth inning of a game in whichv Weiman held the Boston Red Sox scoreless. and the Browns finally gave their long finger the needed tally to win the game.
