Water Power in ireland.

A somewhat extensive water-power
scheme in Ireland. according to the
Irish Industrial Journal. involves the
combination of two powerhouses
utilizing the waters of the Shannon
and Erne, and capital expenditures
amounting to e1,500,00O. The drain
age area of the Shannon is 5000
square miles, and the average dis.
charge is given as 100000 cubic feet
a minute at an available head of 80
feet. equivalent to some $4,000 horse
power, all the year round. 1t is pro-
posed to utilize Loughs Derg, Rea and
Allen as storage reservoirs. Tho
catchment area OF the Erne is almost
half that of the Shannon. but head
OF 60 feet is said TO be available. Com
paratively little in the way of dams
would be required, although consider
able dredging would be necessary be-
low the fall. and conduit would be
needed. 1t is proposed to establish
transmission lines to Dublin. Cork.
Waterford. Kilkoany. and other CEN
tiers.

been hardened to the thunder of ar
tillery months before stopped them
with their fingers when the prepara-
tory artillery fire opened, for no less
than six lines of batteries in the real

The attack has been officially de-
ual heroism and many anecdotes Of
the siege and the assault remain t
be told. %
Neutral Zone Established.
When the French and Germans
held each about half of Carency,
two houses in the center formed a sort
of neutral one because neither side
could occupy them. One Of them-a
big farm house-had the best wine
cellar of the region. Several nights
running the Bavarians crept out Of
their lines into the cellar and RECALLED
themselves. The French learned this
and also visited the place-neither
side fired until the Bavarians went SO
far as to come one night with a wheel
barrow. This was too much for the
French and the rifles went off almost
automatically. The wheel-barrow re-
manned there and q six C shell soon
after caved the walls in and the bal
ance of the wine soaked into the
earth.
Another story is told Of a subaltern
officer who in the early lays Of the
siege got lost in the mase of trenches
approaching the lines and ran into
the Germans. He told the Bavarians
he had come on behalf of six com
rades who wanted to surrender. JUS

BLAMING GYPSIES FOR MONEY THEFTS
 ABOUT BRIDGEPORT
George Cleveland, Grocer, Reports Loss of Nearly
 $1OO in Cash.

Investigation by the police into the reported loss of nearly $100 from the person of George E. Cleveland. a gro- car of 945 Broad street, while talking with two gypsy women in his store, has failed to discover those responsi- ble for the theft.
 A gypsy camp in Stratford was de- scended upon by the police in their automobile, but neither Cleveland nor 2 clerk in his employ was able to iden- tify any of the women found there as the one who so cleverly abstracted the grocers roll of bills from his pocket.
 Meanwhile other complaints of dep reda tions laid to the numerous gypsy camps in Stratford, Fairfield and Trumbull are being received and are having the close attention of detec- tives. Many North End residents as cribe the loss of milk to these nomadic tribes whose presence here recently occasioned much uneasiness on the part of dweIlers in the vicinity of camps.

MRS. BUDLONC'S BIRTH STATUS
 BEFORE COURT
Judge Case Reserves Decision On Her Motion to Ex-
 punge Charge.

Asserting that Mary Gorham Bud long was guilty of entering into a fraudulent contract when she con cealed from her husband facts con cerning her birth, counsel for Herbert A. Budlong argued before Judge Case in the superior court this morning against Mrs. Bud1ong's motion to have the charges regarding her birth expunged from the cross complaint. Attorney John J. Cullinan, represent ing Budlong, maintained that Mrs. Bud1ong deceived her husband by not telling him the true facts regarding her birth.
 Attorney J. B. Klein, counsel for Mrs. Budlong, said the matter was "scandalous and impertinent' and should be expungeds The charge ob- jected to by Mrs. Budlong's lawyer was filed by Budlong in a cross com pIaint. His wife originally sued for divorce on the ground of cruelty and infideHty. He then made the same charges against her.
 Judge Case reserved decision on to- days motion.

LOW BIDDERS ON SCHOOL SEEK TO
 REVISE FIGURES
T. O'Brien and Son Ask Leave To Alter or Withdraw
 Bid.

T. O'Brien & Son of this city, who were low bidders on the additions and changes that are to be made to the City Normal school in Clinton avenue, have asked the board of education for leave to withdraw or to alter their bid of $40, 323 for the work. President Ha- vens of the board of education has called a special meeting for Monday night to consider the ma tier.
 Neither Timothy O'Brien or his son, Richard, who is the junior member of the firm, would discuss the matter when asked for a statement today. Members of the board of education said they understood some irregular ities'' had come up in the bids which the low bidders had asked to have ad- justed.
 The next lowest bidder is William M. Martin & Son of this city, whose bid was $44, ,225. A certified check for per cent. of the amount accompanies each bid and there are some members of the board of education who think any bidder wIos refuses to accept the contract should lose this guarantee. It is said that OBrien & Son desire to add $2,400 for marbloid stairways which were in the specifications and which they forgot to figure on This addition still would, if permitted, make them the lowest bidders:

SERBIA IS MENACED
 BY HOSTILE ARMIES

London, Oct. 22.@Serbia's military position is critical. Hammered by su- perior forces on two sides, her armies are threatened with being crushed as no army has been crushed during the war. Not only are these facts admit ted in England. France and Russia but they are reflected in official Ser bian statements. The key to escape from this situation is the speed with which France and England can throw forces north from Salonikii to relieve pressure from the Austrians and Ger mans in the north and the Bulgarians in the east.
 The BuIgarians are now battling under the eyes of King Ferdinand. Notwfthstanding the presumably su- perior artillery of the Austrians and Bulgarians which seems most menac- ing to the Serbians. At few places are the Teutonic allies as much as 20 miles south of the Danube.
 In fact. the ground gained aver ages depth of only 10 miles. The Bu1garians, for their part, are dis playing tremendous energy, indicative of carefully laid plans preceding the declaration of war. With twenty miles of the. Nish-Sa1oniki Railway in their hands, they have a strategic advantage which it will be difficult to overcome.
 The movements of entente troops from Saloniki are still unknown to the public but if any considerable force has been detailed for the task of do- ing for Serbia what England attempt ed to do for Belgium, it must be heard from soon.
 From Sofia and SaIoniki come de- nials that the Bulgarians have lost Strumnitsa. This means that Bull garian soil is still free from invasion. It is reported that Turkish cavalry is cooperating with the Bu1garians and that a great battle is raging at the Macedonia town of Veleze, where the Serbs won a victory over the Turks in the Balkan war of 1912. Accord ing to an official report the Bu1gar- ians have taken the town.
 On most of the long eastern front the Russians seem to be in the ascen- dency, but both Petrograd and Der lin, emphasize the increasing danger of Riga's position.
 From the southwest the Germans are nearing the village of Olaf. Ac- cording to despatches from Chris tianta, the Russian port of ArchangeI already has been closed by ice. If this be true, Russia will be deprived of this means of bringing in supplies, unless ice breakers are able to work successfully.
