New York drafts for that amount. Dal-
las offered a certified check, While Chi
cago presented a pledge from the AS
sociation of Commerce to contribute
100000 on call of the treasurer of
the Democratic committee. The advo-
Gates of st. Louis supplemented their
financial inducements by'a warning to
the committee that the convention was
needed in Missouri to keep the Is elec-
toral votes of that state in the Demo-
catic column. The delegation from
Dallas pleaded with the committee to
reward the loyal Democracy of the
South by sending the convention next
year to a Southern state. The Texas
speakers were greeted with enthusi-
astic cheers by the members of their
delegation and the rebel yell" sew
eral times interrupted the proceedings.
Chicago based its appeal largely on
its climate and its known ability to
take care of convention crowds.
The national committee was in ses-
sion almost continuously from 11:3O
"a. m. until late tonight, completing
details of convention arrang gements,
discussing financial ways and means
for coming campaigns and debating
various subjects of party interest.
The opening of the session was given
the atmosphere of a love feast when
Thomas J. Pence of North Carolina, a
protege of Secretary Daniels, was
elected secretary and in a speech Of
acceptance declared reports of differ
iences between MIN and National Chair
man McCombs were entirely without
foundation. He said that he had
worked harmonious1g with Mr.. Nc
Combs in the past and purposed to
work harmoniously with him in the fu-
ture.
Chairman McCombs also arose to
remark that the Democratic committee
would continue to work indefatigably
for the further success of the party.
He declared there was not a cloud or
the Domacratic horizon and that it
was the duty Of the committee to see
that none should gather.
Contests Decided.
The committee was confronted by
two contests which threatened for
time to cause some feeling, but were
settled in comparatively short period
and the atmosphere seemingly was
cleared, Urey Woodson of Kentucky
was seated in his contest with Gen
w B. Haldeman OF Louisville and Will
r King was seated from Oregon in
contest with W. H. Easterly.

 HISTORY OF ITALIANS
 IN CITY OF BRIDGEPORT

;eThe Italians of Bridgeport was the subject of an address last evening by pr. Giovanni Fornichella when he talked before an audience at the First Presbyterian church hall pr. F'orrnichella outlined the history of the Italians in this city, pointing out their many qualities that contribute to the industrial and civic good of Bridgeport.
 pr. F'ormiehel1a said in part: 'tOne of the most striking features of this country is the opportunity given to everyone of progressing so that they become self-conf1dent and ambitious of reaching their ideals. Here are thousands of the men who have gain ed a fortune by working hard and not missing the chances obtainable by them. do not need to enumer- ate all of the good qualities which make of the Italians most desirable citiezns Physically strong they can endure the hardest work; they seldom abuse of alcoholic beverages, they al ways plan to save a portion of their earnings for the rainy days.

Izing AIbert saved 4is -Iife.

$ Paris. April s0A wounded sol- dier in the Nantes hospital tells how King Albert saved the life of a French officer
 n the course of furious bayonet charge a Lieutenant ventured too far into the German lines and was brought down by a rifle shot. He was grievously wounded and evidently was thought by the Germans to be dead. The scene of the conflict shift ed, and. though the officer was very weak from loss of blood. he dragged Himself out Of the range of fire and then he fainted.
 On regaining consciousness he saw two Belgian officers beside him, one holding a lantern and the other dress ing his wound. They picked him up carefully and carried him to a motor ear in waiting in the road. Arriving at the field hospital near the general Headquarters of the Belgian army. he got a better view of the two officers. One of them he recognized, ssaluted. and started to speak bltl the King hushed him.

Thousand Donkeys AS Decoys.

London, April 30-The Daily News correspondent, Hugh Martin, in dis patch from Tenedos says that the landing of one force of the Allies on Ga11ipolf Peninsula was made as a re- suit of clever and comic use.
 Covered by a vigorous fire from the ships, nearly thousand donlkeys with dummy baggage and mountain guns &ere put ashore at a certain spot. The Germans and Turks at once diverted a strong force in this direction, and meanwhile the real landing force easily omplished its purpose some distance up the coast.

Gas stupor Lasts Four Hours,

Havre. April The Belgian com mission Of inquiry, reporting on the Germans use of asphyxiating gas, states that clouds of gas of a dark greenish color, tightening to pale yell low, rose to a height of 100 yards. There seemed to be several different kinds of gases, including chlorine, the Evapor of fofnnaline, nitrous and sul- pIaurous vapers and a. gas not yet de- ternined.
 To drive the gases forward the Ger mans made use of the following meth odss First they lighted fires in front Of the trenches. from which these gases disengaged themselves and blew them toward the trenches of the allies. Carboys also were launched, which, when they burst, set free the asphyxiating gases.
 The gases had an effect over a dis tance. of three Kilometres. After a minute or minute and a half the men were seized with sickness and spat blood. They were struck byI a sort of stupor, which lasted three or four hours, sometimes more.

Urges Equipment Reforms

Paris, April so-The Echo's mili- tary expert, General Cherfi1s, urges the authorities to correct two faults in the French equipment due to over standardization. The first fault is in the stock of the French rifle, and the second in the cavalry saddles.
 Recent experiments, conducted by Professor Louis Mahout, show that thep resent stock compels the medium or big men to crook their necks at an awkward angle, thus impairing their accuracy of fire. The stock, it real ly seems. is adapted to the small thickest men only. General Cherfi1s proposes that the stocks henceforth be made in three sizes-1ong, medium. and short to suit the individuals thus eripling the efficiency of French shooting. which admittedly needs inn provenent.
 Similarly. the standard of the sad- dies causes the horses unnecessary suffering. through sore backs. Gen. eraI CherfiIs suggests the readoption of the former system. three sizes of saddles to be used according to the size of the horse.
