RUSSIAN

Petrograd. Feb. 5-The general staff of the Russian army under date of Feb. has issued report of the fighting which reads as follows:
 tsIn East Prussia we are making progressing by fighting our way along both banks of the river Schesehupp, in the vicinity of Ladehne, to the east of TiIsit. On the left bank of the Vistulas the fighting between Borjinow and Viola SzydIowiecka has continued with extraordinary ferocity. The enemy has brought into the engage ment compact masses of men. In the endeavor to penetrate our front the Germans have here introduced into a sector of 1 0 versts (about six niIes) no fewer than seven divisions, sup planted by one hundred batteries of artillery. Certain divisions advanced on a front only one Verst wide.

 At Mt. ToukhoIka and at Mt Be- skid our troops during the last few days have been confronting the enc my with a. desperate~resistan They accepted no less than 10 engagements at the point of the bayonet. On Feb. we resolved to withdraw our sol diers from the mountain positions to other positions previously selected and organized by us. The offensive strength of the enemy in this vicinity is very considerable.

BUDLO LONG'S WIFE IN FASHION ABLE TOCS IN COURT She and Private Detectives Who Discovered Illus

 ON TRIANGLE" ROW Wife Accompanies Detec- tives She Hired to Shadow
 Manufacturer

F'ashionab1y attired, Mrs. May BudIong. wife of Herbert Budlong. as- sistant manager of the American Graphophone Company, was a pr1s- oner in the police court this morning on a charge of breach of the peace. Mrs BudIong was arrested about 10:30 o'clock last night with Eugene zanelIi and Benjamin Sternberg, pri- vate detectives from New Haven, af- ter they had forced their way into the home of Mrs. Frances Scott, 210 Fsairv1ew avenue in search of MT. Bud long.
 Mrs. BudEong and the detectives were not raigned today, the cases being continued until February 13, at the request of MT. BudIongs coun- sel. If the cases are tried out in court at that time some sensati onaI testimony is expected.
 For some time MT. and Mrs. Bud long have not been living together He has apartments in West avenue, and she has lived with her father, William Brooks, of 373 Arctic street. It is understood that Mrs. BudIong has been considering divorce proceed ings for some time and had engaged Zanalh and Sternberg ,of the Spoaa. Detective Agency. New Haven, to as sist her in getting evidence.
 According to the reports circulated at police headQuarters. following the arrest last night, Mr. BudIong had been a visitor at the Scott home fre- quently and was paying attentions to Mrs. Scott's daughter, Mabel. The daughter, it is understood, was re- gently divorced from a man named CFoase, residing in Ithaca. N. Y.
 Mrs. Budlong, with the two detec- ttves. went to the Scott home last night and demanded to know if Bud long were in the house. Receiving a negative reply, the visitors insist ed on inspecting the house, despite the protests of Mrs. Scott. A hur- ried search of the various rooms in the house discovered MT. Budlong and Mabel Scott.
 There was an interchange of rather heated remarks and finally the ar guments attained such volume that Mrs. Scott and her daughter say they thought 1t best to seek the quiet of the front veranda- While they were there, Detective Luke Petrusche1l ar- rived with the auto patrol which had answered an alarm that there were two burglars in the house. It is be- l neved that neighbors sent in the call for the police.
 Detective Petruschen thought the best way out of the argument was to take all concerned to headquarters. Mrs. Scott, her daughter, Mrs Bud- long. B11dlong and the two private de- tectives were given a ride to head quarters.
 There six different versions of the affair were presented simultaneously to Lieut.. Blansheld. When he had figured it all out. the lieutenant de- cided that the three who had forced their way into the house should be held. He, therefore, arrested Mrs. BudlOng and the detectives on charges of breach Of the peace All imme- diately were released on bonds
 MT. and Mrs. Budlong have been separated for about two years. MT. Budlong is a divorcee through a for mer marriage and now is said to be paying alinony.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

One of the most furious battles of the war is now at it's height along the Russo-German front west of Warsaw. Large bodies of German troops have been brought up for Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs third desper- ate effort to batter a way through the Russian line. The attack is centered near the Polish village of Borjimow around which for the last few days has been raging a battle that for intensity com pares with the struggle in Elan ders earlier in the war.
 Official statements make no mention of the extent of the losses which, judging from the nature of the fighting, must be enor- nous.
 A communication from the Russian war office today says that along a section of the front about six miles long the Ger mans brought up no less than s4.0O0 men. supported by 100 batteries of artillery. In compact masses these troops were hurled against the Russian positions.
 The Petrograd statement as-  serts these attacks were broken up and that the Russians assum- ing the offensive in turn, captured German trenches and occupied two villages.
 In the Carpathians, the fighting is hardly less severe. The Pe- trograd war office admits that Itlae Russians retreated in one section of this front after fight ing 10 successive engagements with bayonets. Elsewhere Rus sian successes are claimed.
 The action of the German a,dr mira1ty in declaring within the war zone the waters surrounding England. Scotland and Ireland is supported enthusiastically by the German press. The Berlin Post states that ..men and freight not only on British ships but un- der neutral flag are doomed to sink

FRENCH

Paris, Feb. 5.-The French war of flee this afternoon gave out the re port on the progress of the fighting as follows:
 s.In Belgium, German aviators yes terday showed great activity. The an nouncement given out last night re- ported the occupation of a. trench of the enemy to the west from Arras to Lille This trench was a cause of an- noyance to the troops occupying the positions won by us several days ago to the east of this road. Consequent ly, we blew it up with a mine and inn mediately afterwards a detachment of zouaves and our light African infan- try installed itself securely in the con- quered positions. All the Germans in the trench thus occupied were either killed or taken prisoner.
 Our artillery siIenced the batteries of the enemy at point near Addnfor (to the south of Arras) near Pozieres (northeast of Albert near Ham (north- west of Perrone) as we'll as in the sec- tor of Pailly .Csouth of Noyon)."

London, Feb 5-Although refer ring sareastically to Germany's threat to bottle up the British Isles by means of submarines paper blockade" England is stirred today by this latest development in the ma rine situation as she seldom has been since the outbreak of hostil1ties.
 The press unanimously subordin- ates all other war news, not excepting the Turkish attempt to cross the suez Canal, to give prominence to the despatches from Berlin while the for eign office statement following quickly the publication of the Ger man decree indicates that the gov ernment authorities take the German threat as one requiring a prompt counter stroke.

NO DOCTOR FOR X-SCIENCE GIRL, B. H. s. JUNIOR Health Officer Mcclellan Signs Death Certificate
 for Parents WEAKENED HEART IS GIVEN AS THE CAUSE: Deceased Was Niece of Well Known Shelton Con-
 tractor

Following atlment of nearly a months duration during which time no physician was called to attend her,
 Miss Olive Beard, 15-year-old pupil of the Bridgeport High school, died yes-
 terday afternoon at the home of her Christian Science parents, MT. and
 Mrs. Oliver G. Beard, Jr., 135 Beech

 A death certificate failing to give
 the primary cause of death but stating
 the secondary cause to probably be
 va1vular heart failure has been signed
 by Health Officer Edward A. McLsl-
 Ian, who was called into the case Sew eral hours after the girl had died. At the Beard home today it was
 freely admitted that no doctor had been called because the family were members of the Christian Science faith. and that 1t was several hours after
 death before the city health officer had
 been called into consultation with the family.
 Miss Olive Beard was in her junior year at the Bridgeport High school. having been graduated from the Ma pIewood school She has two other sisters, Anna and Grace, residing in this city, grandfather, Oliver G.

CantWell Finds Diamonds Lost
 At Charity Ball
Hotel Manager Closes Ball Room, Makes Personal Search and Succeeds When Others Failed.

Four valuable diamonds, loosened from a necklace of Mrs. Samuel O. Shaw. wife of the we'll known attor- ney were kicked around the ball. room of the Stratfield hotel last night by dancers at the annual charity ball. Probably swept into a corner by the swish of some fair womans dress, they lay undiscovered during the en- tire affair, and even when the loss was reported members of the hotel staff failed to observe them until Manager Frank A. Cantwen prosecuting a personal search located them and to- day returned them to. their owner.
 Mrs. Shaw when asked of the loss today stated that the diamonds, four in number, were hanging pendant from a string of valuable beads about her neck. During the course of the evening they must have become de- tached, though she did not miss them until she arrived at her home, 8 San ford place at an early hour this morn ing.

guncotton used in the war heads of torpedoes and submarine nli11sa. Aside essary article, the British enforce
 ment of such an order would deal a
 heavy blow to the German textile factories which are now just begin ming to receive almost a normal sup ply from the United States.
 State department officials indicated that the German proclamation was analogous in their minds to the strsW- ing of mines in the North Sea and a. similar announcement by Great Brit ain that neutral shipping might be imperilled there
 Officials See No Threat.
 Officials did not view the German neutral ships if found in the war zone but as a warning that all ships enter ed there at their own risk
 The statement in the German pro clamation that there is in existence a British order to its fleet permitting them to use neutral flags may draw forth an inquiry from the United States although Great Britain has, in lconnection with recent submarine raids charged that neutral vessels were used as bases.
 While the German proclaluation is being carefully considered at the state department, officials manifested much interest as to the probable effect of the announcement on the movement of American ships bearing munitions and contraband of war to the allies While such vessels probably will be conveyed from the French or English ports by warships of the allies, the rules of the international law provide that a neutral vessel cannot be de- stroyed until taken to a prize court and duly condemned.
 London View of Case Under the declaration of London, however, a neutral vessel which is cer- tain to be condemned as a prize, may be destroyed by a belligereIlt warship if taking her into port would impair the success of the warship's opera -tions. Before the vessel is destroyed. all the persons on board must be placed in safety and the captor must later establish that he acted in the face of necessity. Otherwise, com pensation to the injured shipper fol- lows.
 Until a specific case of destruction of an American ship in the new war zone develops, it was regarded as most unlikely that any protest would be
 made by the United States although further inquiries as to the exact boundaries of the prohibited water areas are expected to be made

There are just as good mechanics in Bridgeport as anywhere else in the world and there are Just as good me chanics out of the union as in it. I think 1t a poor compliment to Bridge port to give our work to outside firms. Architect J. Wf Northrop whom MT. Hurley called next said Casey & Hurley were trustworthy and reliable.
 A representative of the Fletcher Engineering Go. also endorsed the firm. Attorney Stoddard said he was not questioning the ability of Casey & Hurley to execute the contract but he thought his clients had won the contract fairly.
 The fireworks began right after ward when the union labor represen- tatives began in no uncertain terms to voice their protests Ernest " O'Brien, walk business agent for the Brfoklayers and Plasters union local spoke first.
 "As citizens and taxpayers said MT. O.Brien, ssthe members of the organization oppose the granting of this contract to Casey & Hurley. They oppose first on the ground that this firm are not citizens of Bridgeport They are not union men either, but are strike breakers brought here dur ing the labor trouble some ten or twelve years ago and not to be com k&4Ek9tAs Ae1 <41k5 LA1S51A1 OoL1A D1O0kS4Ag up here or who have lived here 26 or 30 years
 ..If you give this contract to the low bidder you will give 1t to a firm that will employ Bridgeport me ichanics at living wages and you will get a building that. will be a credit to the city. We have never opposed the granting of this contract because Casey & Hurley employ non-union la- bor but because the firm is not the lowest bidder. If the firm had bid low we would has said nothing We did not object when they got the con tract for the Bryant school
 There Is a cry to boost. Bridgeport labor but it seems as if you wanted to put barrier before union labor from the manner in which some con tracts are given Our Organization wants to see this contract go to the lowest bidder.
