STATE DEPT ADVISES FOLKS GOING ABROAD
 ON ROUTES TO TAKE

Washington, July 1.-Restrictions placed on travellers in Europe are call ed to the American pubIic's attention, in circular issued to-day by t% state department.

A. J. SMITH PLANS
 COOPERATIVE LINE
 OF SOUND VESSELS
Veteran Steamboat Mans Project Is Laid Before
 Bridgeport Shippers.

Once more BridgeporteFs are being asked to support an independent steamboat line, to run between Bridgeport and New York. The pro Ject is designed by Aiming J. Smith, who for many years has been interest ed in navigation in Long Island Sound
 Manufacturers are being asked to promise freight for the venture, and those who desire to do so, are sub scribersi to the stock The purpose is to have a line. the mai iority Of the stock of which may be controlled by shippers.
 Other independent lines have faf1- ed to survive. But hopes for this one are bright, because of the in creased powers of the Inter State Commerce commission, which is in a position to prevent water competitor being crushed by sudden rate reduc- ton in rail service.
 Formerly there was a lively traffic passenger service. which has all but disappeared
 The proposed line would embark in the price for the round trip 75 cents, as against $2-7O by rail.
 Most of the shore front has been ab- sorbed by the New Haven and one of the difficulties of the situation will be suitable wharfage, which will have to be obtained. perhaps beyond the draw bridges.
 Since these bridges can be open ed and closed with rapiddty, this need not be, it is believed, a serious draw back.

Colonel Knowlton Retains Job on Assessors Board
 Lewis Turned Down.

Colonel Julius Knowlton, who for more than 1S years has been member of the board of assessors, was today notified that he will again serve for a term of four years beginning August l. Friends of William A Lewis, presi- dent of the board of relief, have been urging that he be appointed to succeed CoIone1 Knowlton-
 The Republican leaders put the mat ter up to John T. King. During the illness of MT. King nothing was done and although City Clerk Robinson fla vored the appointment of Captain Lewis against that of Colonel Know1- ton, Mayor Wilson named Colonel KnowTton today.
 The recent vote on comrnfssion form of government has set all members of the Republican party in this city guessing. While the intention of tho Republican leaders was to make every one think the party favored the com mission government, the real intention was to have the votes be 11nfavoraole to the proposition.
 Captain +BiH'' Lewis has been an ac- tive Republican worker in the Elev- enth district for many years.

 Was Abused There.

Judge Wilder expressed some doubt as to the fact but ordered that Superintendent Da- wis be notified of the complaint which will be fully investigated
 DougaI was returned to the institu- ton.

BRITISH BARK TORPEOOED AND
 SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE;
 ONLY PART OF HER CREW SAFE

su1a are said to be on the point of making a supreme effort to capture the massive hill of Achi Baba, which dominates the country south of the narrows of the DardaneIles.
 The recent gains claimed by the British and French on the southern end of the peninsula are considered important ones because they indicate an approach to the hill on three sides.
 On the eastern front every change leaves Warsaw more open to the drive which the Germans and A1stro- Hungarians evidentdy are making towards the city.
 Along the northern line the Austro- Germans appear to be experiencing the greatest success. The Russians seem to be making a, stubborn fight along the GntIa, Lipa.
 In the west both sides have at tackled in the Argonne forest and be- yond the Mouse hills without decisive result. The fighting of the past fort night has been without permanent re- suit except in the Vosges where the French have consolidated substantial gains.
 From Vienna the Italians are re- ported to be showing renewed en- ergy along the Isonzo river, having brought up more men and guns, but no decisive action is reported.
