The members of the Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene, with some
members of other denominations,
gave Rev and Mrs. Jas. J. Ballinger a
delightful surprise at the home of
Brother and Sister Gottshalk last
night. The pastor and his wife were
invited to the home mentioned for
supper. After the meal was finished
and a few minutes spent in cOnverSa-
ton other members of the church
and from sister churches began to file
in until the house was well filled. Aft
err their arrival a splendid program
consisting of music, readings and es-
says was rendered to the delight of
all present. Then a purse of thirty
five dollars was presented to the pas
tor and his wife by the people as an
expression of their appreciation of the
work being done in the church, and
as a guarantee of their hearty CO.
operation in the same. This was fol-
lowed by statements of appreciation
from Rev. and Mrs. Ballinger, and the
happy company returned to their re-
spective homes.

 Auto Accidents.
 Dr. R. M Wolfe's Pullman auto i mobile was destroyed by fire at Nor walk Wednesday afternoon, when it took fire the doctor turned the en- zine over after making some minor adjustments of loose connections. The car was worth $2,250 when new and was insured. pr. Wolfe lost another automobile by fire some time ago. A jitney bus, owned by Thomas Kerrigan of Noroton and operated by Samuel Shock1ey, was hit by a, large touring car owned by B. F. DeKlyn of Roton Point. The jitney was wrecked and two of it's three passen- gers-NIiss Mary B. Fitch of Nor walk, and Mrs. Josephine Kaptens of Darien, were serio uS1y hurt. Mrs. Ed ward G. Wilkinson of Norwalk, the other fare, escaped with slight injur- les, did the operator. Miss Fitch'S skull is fractured, some of her ribs are broken, and she is cut and bruis- ed. Mrs. Kaptens is hurt internally, and is badly cut and bruised. George Godfrey, MT. DeKIyn's chaauffeur, was the only occupant of the DeKlyn vehicle. Two automobiles were di- rectIy ahead of him. The automobile in the middle turned to pass the lead ing vehicle, and got by in safety. Godfrey followed, but the hub of one of the wheels of the DeK1yn car hit the Ford and sent it spinning toward the gutter.

 WASHINGTON. June 1S-The Unit ed States officers are concerned over the perplexing problem in connection with the complaint of the Swedish minister that private mail from New York to Sweden was opened while passing through England. As the mails are alleged to have been opened in teresting legal questions are raised which make it doubtful with many of ficials whether the United States could do more than transmit e complaint to Great Britain for consideration.
 Inasmuch as cable messages passing through belligerent countries are sub ject to censorship the view is taken in official quarters that private letters passing through these nations are able to the same risks if they contained military information.
 Official correspondence between the United States government and it's em- bassies and legations abroad has en- joyed immunity from interference. be- ing mailed in sealed pouches Such immunity is not always extended con- sular mail and American consuls abroad. to make sure of delivery of important documents, have transmitted them to embassies to be forwarded to Washington in diplomatic pouches.

In the East the Telltonic Forces Are Not Only Nearer Lemberg, But Claim to Have Driven the Russians Further Back

] LONDON. June 18.-Although dis agreeing as to the results with 1 German statement on one side and ! French and British combinations on the other, it is indicated that fight i ing is progressing in Arras sector, at the northern and southern parts of the short British front as desper- ate any the western theater has developed. The area of hostilities is tiny compared to the sweep of the Galician front where the Austro- Germans are still driving forward. but the last few days has brought much hand to-hand fighting, the British and French striving to hold
 the trenches gained, and the Ger mans with a preponderance of ma chine guns as promptly initiating counter attack.
 Each side dwells on the losses Of the other, and each emphasizes it's gains, all of which have been costly although comparatively small meas ured in distance. It is too early to say whether this means a serious French British attempt to break through, but it is apparent they are on the offensive. In the east the Teutonic forces are not only nearer
