B. M. Rastall, Expert On Sub iect, Talks to Business
 Men Here.

Speak king before the Business Men 8 association at a luncheon at the strat- field hotel, this noon, B. M RastaM, !, of the Massachusetts State Board of Labor and Industries, complimented Bridgeport,s special charter committee. on commission government, decIaring g that it had secured data and compiled it in such a manneA as to provide for Bridgeport an ideal commission form of government.
 Mir. RastaH is an expert upon the subject Not only did he arrange the coInmission form of government that has met with great success in Duluth, but he revised the city government of Milwaukee untlIsit is regarded by many as the best form of aldermanic system government in the country.
 The advantage of commission form of governmeIt,'' declared Mir RastaI1 in his speech, Sis the cer1trahzi1lg of power and responsibility of one de- partment upon one man. Under the old form of government, red tape is too prevalent, and it is exceeding g1y difficult to place the responsibility Of any one department upon any one head. The commission form of gov- ernment is correspondingIy economical Figurehezds that have stood for years under the old form of city govern ment will be cut off. and the revenue sderlVed in this way may be put to use for the bettering Of conditions in the city.
 must commend your local com naittee upon the excellent charter that tlley have provided for the approval of your residents. It is in many re- spects similar to the one I have for muIated for the city of Duluth,
 Mir Rastal1 went into detail, telling of the intricate details of the new government as employed in Duluth. He is enthusiastic in his regard for, it, and the fifty members Of the Business Men's association listened intentIyf to his address.

CLAIMS COMMIT TEE
 IS FACING DEFICIT
Tax Board will Be Called Up- on to Make Up Shortage
 At Next Meeting.


 Although the fiscal year is but half over the claims committee of the com mon council already faces a deficit of $449.4 in claims for personal dam ages, rebate of taxes and interest on real estate personal taxes and other claims that have been allowetI Last year the board of apportionment had to appropriate s1.298 to pay the deficit when the committee had finished the business it would seem that the short age this year will be much larger
 Among those whose claims have been allowed and who must wait until some time next April before they can get their money ares Bertha Rooney, Fl. J.k Lewis Oyster Go, Luigi Nargi, s. L1oeWfth s Go, M IT. Ld1lis. Fred c.
 Worden. p. e. Spargo, S. w. arid Fs p Beach Bridget F'itzpatricl. George and Bernice Loth and George Hooper These are claims of various nature from personal injury because Of de- fects in pavement, etc, for which the city is liable and made to pay to the abatement of personal taxes.
 In addition to the appropriation to cover the deficit Of $1,298, the appor- tionment board last year appropriated $l,000 to cover damage claims for abatement Of taxes, etc The board also appropriated $s,5 800 to cover per- sonal damage claims. Both approprfa- lions are exhausted and those in a position to know say the pergonal# damage claims account should have been at least $5.00e as was at first suggested and the other approprfa- ton at least g, 800.

ALLIES UNDERTAKE
 OFFENSIVE MOVES

Paris. Oct 19.-An unfnterr1,r4af5 offensive movement by the allies at certain ports in northern France was predicted here today as the battle was resumed The rr-taking Of Arnaen- tieres. on the river Lys, Of the right line leading toward Dousi. via Given chy and Fromel1es, was considered as constituting an excellent advance guard position by reason of its num- erous places of support This, with the progress in several other sections. notably Arras. gave the allies hone of a contdnuance of their advance.
 Lieut. Colonel Rousset, the military critic in reviewing the military situ- alton, refuses to concur in the state ment made that the battle of the Aisne has been definitely won by the allies.
 pen, he says, and while the enemy will not take the return route a re- vtvai of it's activity can be produced in another vicinity, especially if the Germans see that their maneuvers in the north are endangered But it is certain that upon the horizontal line going from the Disc to the Mouse, the allies have nothing to fear as every effort of the Germans from this side would certainly be stopped
 As to the new battle, that of Elan Gders, it is clearly offensive on the side of the allies. The circumstances which inspires us is that it will de- velop on ground more favorable for the attack than for defense, and that 1t is undulating land, widely spaced, where troops can easily def11e for az gressive movements''
 The Socialists of France have de- clared as inopportune and premature the suggestions made that their com rades in the United States hold. an in- formation Socialist peace congress
