Drainage Tax Carries.

The election held Tuesday in the
Youngs Coulee and Crooked Styx
Drainage District to decided wheth-
er or not the citizens of that dis
trict want to have a drainage ca
nal in the district for the purpose
of retaining considerable rich
land for agriculture purpose. was
carried most pleasingly.
There were SO votes polled in
favor of the project, and 3 against.
The valuation for the project was
S44 10000. and against 81, $50.
The bond issue will be for S21,-
600, at per cent running from
one to twenty years.
This is secured by an acreage
tax, or contribution of IS cents
per acre.
The area covered is approximately
II. 900 acres. The work on this
canal is expected to be started at
the very earliest possible time, and
it is also expected to be completed
about the first of the year.
One incident which called for
criticism. was that one. and only
one, of the residents who occupies
place., and probably most in
need of drainage. located in the
heart of the district, voted against
the project. He was among the
last to vote and refused to be per-
suaded to cast his vote favorably
for the project.

CHIEF MOONEY AGAINST BILL
 FOR PENSIONS
With Capt. Daley Objects to Joining Police and Fire
 men In Single Plan

Hartford. March 11-sIf some of the men who are in the ire depart ment now have to stay 25 years be- fore they receive pensions you'n have them doing fire duty in wheel chairs, or on crutches," declared Capt. Mi chael J. DaiIey, of Chemical Co.,, No. 3, Bridgeport Fire department at the hearing before the legislative commit tee on cities and boroughs yesterday afternoon when the matter of the police and firemens' pension fund was under consideration.
 If we give you what you suggest we might as well turn the city treas ury over to you,'' retorted Commis- sfoner Tague of the fire board.
 Chief Edward Mooney and Capt Daley both appeared before the com nittee yesterdayNin opposition to sew era1 bills which have been presented and which will amend the charter of the city of Bridgeport regarding the police and firemens' pensions. Capt Daley in ,his opposition to the pro- posed charter amendment said in part:
 sHThe firemen don't want the city treasury. We simply want pension fund such as the people of Bridgeport have voted to give us. We pay 2 per cent. of our wages to that fund, and while I have all the respect in sCO See them have pensions, I don't think it is fair to include the Aremen in a joint bill here. Firemen have to sac rifice many things, they have to give up home life and social associations which other men ejoy. Their em- ployment is hazarduous one
 Chief Mooney said he was opposed to giving the commissioners the pow CT of retiring man when they became so years old.
 Suppose a man is over SC, as I am,'' said Chief Mooney, land he This law as you would frame 1t won't allow the man to have a say in the matter. am in favor of retiring men after they ara 60 years old or when they can't do duty any longer, but I think the man himself should have some say in the natter
 Mayor Wilson said if it were left to the men themselves to say when should retire it would be putting the departments in the hands of the men themselves The mayor said the commissioners of the fire and police to say when members of the two forces should be retired, because the city provides for the pensions.
 Speaking in favor of the bill, Geo. S. Hill, president of the police com mission, said it was proposed to re- 0Te 1nen III Che ponce QSpaFCn1enLs all of whom were more than 70 years of. age
 we want younger men at the heads of our police and fire departments g said President Hill. "The pension fund is in first class shape and it will take care of nine men we wish to retire but we have not taken steps to retire them because there Is some question as to the authority of the commissioners under the present laws and we want this settled. That's the purpose of this amendment. Why, we have one man in our police department who is 85 years old. .''

Hartford, March s11-Members of the Association Opposed to Women's Suffrage who. were at the capitol to- day were jubilant over the report cur rent that the House. committee on constituttonaI amendments and the joint committee on women's suffrage are not in favor of reporting favor ably the proposed constitutional amendment which would submit to the electors of the state the question of equal suffrage.

Summary
 OF THE War News

Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has made another of the swift and unexpected strokes which have marked his campaign against the Russians Gathering a strong force along the Prus- sian border in Northern Poland, he has begun a new movement southward apparently intending to strike again at Przasnysz where the Germans recently met the de- feat which preceded their gener- al retirement in the north. An important battle has developed as a result of this movement, the result of which. it is said in Pet rograd, has not yet been 1ndicat- ed.
 With the dimtnution of activ- ity in Champagne, that section of the front has grown Quieter. The military authorities assert that the allies have suffered 8 com plete defeat in Champagne af- ter undertaking an offensive movement The British claim to have made a Smile dash and to have recaptured Neuve Chapel1e.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-03-11
FRENCH

Paris, March 11-The capture of a long stretch of German positions in Flanders is announced in the official report given out this afternoon at the war office. The report follows:
 ''The British attack yesterday re- suited in the capture of 2,5o0 metres (nearIy one and one-half mi1es9 of trenches before Nueve Chapelle (FIanders) and of the village itself. It progressed in the direction of Au- ,bors as far as Pfetre Mill, and in a southeaster1y direction as far as the northern border of Bois Dubiez-that is to say a distance of about two kilo- raetrasi beyond Nueve Chapel1et The German artillery fired only a few shots
 AS regards the rest of the front, there is nothing to add to yesterday evenings communication.

REGROUP GERMAN
 FORCE IN POLAND

Petrograd, March 11.-A re-group- ing of the German forces in Northern Poland and the beginning of a new attempt upon Przasnysz has been not ed by the general staff of the Russian army. This movement is being made in considerably greater strength than was the recent operation in the direction of Przasnysz which termin- ated in not only local defeat for the ment of all forces in the direction of their own frontier.
 The discontinuance of operations along the Nieman river makes it possible for the Germans to send a large number of troops from this dis trict to reinforce the men advanciney from Korjile in tn general direction of M1awa and Przasnysz. This transfer as usual has been effected with light ningIike speed by means of the Ger man railroads and the forces in this mented by drafts of the new 1915 re- cruits.
 Having accomplished a re-grouping of the forces and leaving. only enough men in the Augustowo district to pro tect the left flank of the German ar my besieging Ossowetz, an important battle is under way along a long front near the Narew River. The absence of official information leaves the sit uation somewhat in doubt.
 Fighting near Gor1itze and 1Oujak in the Carpathians indicates that the Austrians, after their defeat in the StanisIau district on their right flank decided to transfer the center of ope- rations to the left flank where they have been successful in pushing for ward slightly.

Neuve Chapelle Is Captured By English Troops Under Cover of French Artillery Fire One Thousand Pris-I oners and Several Machine Guns Taken In Allied Vic-. tory.
Germans Make Rapid Re- Alignment In Northern. Poland = Germans Hold
 ing Ground North and West of Przasnysz Rus sians Fail to Break Ger man Lines at Augustowo.

London March 1d.-Cnder cover of the fire of heavy French artillery British troops have captured Neuya chapene three and one-half miles to the north of La Bassee-
 This success including the taking of 1000 prisoners and several machine guns, makes 1t the most considerable advance of the allies reported in ths north of France for several months past. If made in force, it is strateg- ica11y of great importance as the posi- tion commands the road between La. Bassee and Lille. FurtK1er1nore, it makes the German hold on La Bassee insecure and gives a base for opera lines in front Of Lille.
 This advance was unexpected as lately the principal activity reported from the British front has been in the direction of the other end of the line near Ypres. The British are now within two miles of the furtherrnost point gained by General Sir Horace L. th-Dorrien last October when, with one army corps in an effort to gain Fourness, on the road between Ia. Bassee and LiIae he forced his way as far as Abuerss two miles to the north east of Neuve ChappeI1es but after des- perate fighting against tremendous odds, was forced to retire.
 News despatches reaching here from Berlin report the failure of the Rus sian attempt to break through the German lines at Augustowo' while the battle of Ostro1enka continues Ac- cording to this inforIrration, which is from official sources, the fighting to the northwest and west of Przasnysz is developing favorai-s7 lseor the Ger mans. It is not considered likely that the Dardanel1es attack will be pressed until land forces occupy both sides of the straits
