Ambassador Bernstorff writes Ser
Rotary Lansing that the position of
Germany is:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and
without safeguarding the lives of
non combatants, provided that the
liners do not try to escape or offer
resistance"
The ambassador adds;

 It is expected that the influence of the government will be exeCted toward an early settlement.
 President Gompers today expressed the opinion that the Bridgepo1t trou- plan by foreign inf1uences to cause labor troubles to cut off ammunition exports.
 T know that foreign interests, well supplied with funds, have sought to bring on labor troubles to prevent the shipping of American products to Europe said MT. Gompers. ''I know that an effort was made to bring about a strike of 1ongshorerne and that when that failed an effort was made to cause a strike of seamen. I know these things as well as I know anything that I have not personally seen. There can be no doubt that this foreign propaganda, with unltn- ited means behind it. is seeking. to seeking to check the manufacture and exportation of supplies for Europe
 MT. Gonapers said that an effort would be made to improve conditions at Bridgeport.
 There is a great hue and cry abroad in the land" he said, that the workmen should bear the burden of hard times. I believe tn t when there is general prosp erityz from any cause, the workrnen should have his share of increased profit

He had been seriously i'll with heart dis ease and other organic affliction for nearly four months.
 MT. Vincent's death marks the pass ing of one of the elgent1est and at the same time one of the most viriIe fig ures that the public life of Bridgeport has even known. For 30 years he had been at the head of one of the largest companies of the city. a business he with his brother had built from a. small retail concern to affirm whose whole sale operations extend all over New England
 For the same period of time MT. Vim cent had been associated with his brother, Allen D. Vincent, the secre- tary and treasurer of the company, who survives him. There was a per- feet accord of brother1y love and un- derstanding and working together they carried their concern to the height of business success.

MILL WRIGHTS OF CITY ORGANIZE
 FOR FIRST TIME
Members of Craft Seek To Effect Permanent Union
 in Meeting Here.

For the first time in their history locally, the millwrights have formed an organization. the lack of which is at the basis of the start in the labor trouble here.
 Officers have been elected, commit tees appointed and pickets selected The pickets were established at the Arms plant today.
 The organization is merely tempor- ary but is for the purpose of proteo- ton and mutual discussion and work on the questions that have arisen during the strike.
 The lack of an organization among the mt1lwrights precipitated the trou- ble. They were ordered to join the Carpenters union and the Structural Iron Workers protested. Then they withdrew from the Carpenters union. It was a dispute between the two bodies as to which would have .juris- diction over the miIlwrights inasmuch as the millwrights had no organization themselves.
 The .mi1Iwrights met this morning and discussed the situation. Many persons addressed the meeting.

DENY JURISDICTION OF PROBATE COURT
 TO INTERPRET WILL
Testament of Late Broadway Traffic Policeman Causes
 More Litigation.
Special to the Farrner.)

Stratford, July 19-Judge Chas Peck decided this morning after a hearing on the will of the late Pat rick Kennedy. a member of the fa- nous traffic squad, that the testament gave the widow only the life use of the $14,0Oo estate left her by her Ghus- band.
 Coincidentally with the decision of Judge Peck, Thomas M. CuIlinan, counsel for Mrs. Kennedy, asserted that if the estate ds not turned over to the absolute use of Mrs Kennedy his client will sue Arden L. Judd, the executor of the will.
 The hearing this morning follows the contention of the nieces and nephews of Kennedy, in New York, that the will gives Mrs. Kennedy only the life use of her one third of the estate. Mrs. Kennedy's coun- sel claimed it gave her absolute con trol of the fbequest- Judge Peck decided this morning in favor of the nieces and nephews.
 Further litigation is promised un- less the decision of Judge Peck is dis regarded. Attorney CuIlinan de- cIares suit will be instituted if Judd acts in compliance with the decision of Judge Peck.

BILLIARD DENIES DISCRIMfNA ATION
 AGAINST UNION
Statements of Discharged Machinists Being Investi-
 gated by Union Officials

Al H. BuIlard Of the BulIard Ma chine Tool Company in commenting upon the S5 men reported to have been discharged on Saturday night said that his understand was that the number was much less than reported. This Nis nothing unusual as we often let men go. You can state for me this pending labor trouble had nothing to do with the men going out
 On the other hand reports made by the men at Machin1sts' hall yesterday indicated that one man was found agttatng the eight hour day In the factory and that he was immediately discharged Twelve men are said to have quit in sympathy in one depart ment and five in another. It is said that later other men found to have union cards were laid off.
 Vice President Keppler in comment ing on the fact that the union had not been officially advised of the situation but that an immediate investigation would be made. Should 1t be found that union men were being discr1rni- hated against the men who were dis charged will at once be put on the payroll for strike benefits which be- gin at s8 per week

TRUCE DOESN'T MEAN DEMAND FOR 8 HOUR DAY WILL NOT BE
 INSISTED ON THROUGH CITY

The truce declared for a period of 24 hours between the labor leaders and the heads of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Company and the Stewart Construction company kept the men employed at the big arms plant from walking out at noon to- day as had been planned.
 Even though the big influences that may be brought to bear upon the Arms company to settle their strike may be successful, this will not pre- vent the labor movement from pro ceeding directly towards getting an eight hour day in Bridgeport.
 It was the plan of the 8 national executives who have met here in conference on two occasions during the past 48 hours to first settle the difficulties at the arms and ammuni- ton plans and then continue with the individual manufacturers in this city until eight-hour day contracts were signed with each.
 J. J. Kepp1er, vice president of the International association of Machin- ists, in speaking of this situation said:

 AS HOSPITAL GIFT
Three Hundred Dollars Worth of Impliments For
 warded to Batt1eields. .

Three hundred dollars worth of sur gicaI instruments will be. sent from this city to the war zone in Europe The Bridgeport hospital will donate their discarded instruments to the German and French Red Cross, to be divided equally.
 The gift will be shipped to New York to the American Red Cross by which it will be distributed in Europe
 The gift is made by courtesy of Superintendent William Jones of the hospital. It was prompted by an ap- peal in an American Medical journal for discarded medical instruments made by the French Red Cross. Many of the smaller French hospitals are without a single instrument and am putation is sometimes done with carv- ing knives.

''Any settlement we may make with the D. M. c. will not slave off the eight hour demands at other factories The first effort on our part will be to get the U. M. c. troubles settled and then we will go after all the factories in Bridgeport on the eight-hour Ques- ton.
 "Some factories may throw out the U. M. c. contracts rather than grant these demands but it win not avail them anything for the eight hour day is coming in Bridgeport and the agi- tatton will be kept up here until vFs get it for every employee

 Another view holds that the best service the allies could give Russia at this time would be the forcing of the Dardanel7es. It is possible that the allies may combine both suggested at texnpts but 1t is unquestfonab1e that for the time the center of gravity in the war has shifted to eastern Europe

 Prompt action in dispatching the note was gen4Se1ly forecasted. To- morrow, it will be subndtted by the President to his cabinet and possibly may be revised again at Friday s meeting. In official quarters it was agreed that the communication would be on it's way to Berlin by Satur- day.
