MANY CHANGES IN BUSINESS OFFICES
 IN CITY'S CENTER
Cullinan S Mullins to Re move to Top Floor of
 Security Building.

Notable changes in the locations of offices Of business and professional firms are under way in Bridgeport. With the opening of new stores and officers here and the great influx of trade coming here as a result of for eign business, old established firms have found it necessary to enlarge their quarters and in some instances to associate others with them in the conduct of business.
 While Main street shows evidences daily of the arrival of new mercan nti1e concerns, probably the most notable changes are taking place in the office buildings on Fairfield avenue and Main street.
 Chief among the recent removal an nouncements is that of the firm of Gull linan & Cullinan, attorneys at law, who after a period of years in the San ford building will remove within a few days to the Security building where they will occupy the big suite of rooms formerly tenanted, by the Archibald McNefl Sons Coal company on the top floor.

were attacked by the blight and
the yield thereform hardly war
ranted the harvesting while the
balance of the field ran about 60
barrels to the acre. Since then it

"On this side of the river, in
the colony lands of the New South

eral years some of the settlers
have been growing real Irish po-
tatoes, land being just as good for
that purpose as at Hastings. The
biggest grower in this section is
Mr.. Cummings, of the Rodman
Lumber Company, at Rodman.
This year at Rodman 240 acres

of the trenches covered with dead.
While the German prisoners are
arriving in France by the train
load British wounded from Fland-
ers are beginning to reach Lon
don. All have the same story to
tell. They describe the terrific
bombardment of the allies, before
which it seemed impossible that
any one could survive and then
the sudden slackening of the fire,
and the British charge. How it
happened that so many unwound-
ed Germans were captured is puz-
zling the public.
This is the sixty-third birthday
of Field Marshal French. The
people are not expecting it to be
signalized by any marked fresh
advance so soon after the gains al
ready achieved, but these accom-
plishments have called forth par
ticularly cordial congratulations
for the British commander.
The fighting in the east still fav-
ors the Russians on the southern
end of the line, although there is
no confirmation of the report that
they have reached the important
railway junction of Kovel. The
most momentous struggle still is
centered on Dvinsk, where it is
said the Germans are regrouping
their forces preparatory to anoth-
er great blow.
Bulgaria, though she has mobil-
zed her troops, has not made her
lext move any clearer.

BRITISH AND FRENCH SEEM
TO BE GAINING ON GERMANS
Berlin Claim Ground ReTaken Conflicting Reports but ALfe
Elafed Over Apparent Turn in Tide and Say Ger
man Losses Heavy Past Months

| London, Eng.-Field Marshal
Sir John French, commander OF
the British forces in France, in
forms the war office that the al
iied offense is progressing, and
that there is no letup in the fight
ing. On the other hand, Berlin
claims that the German counter
attacks have been successful and
that much of the ground that was
lost by the Germans has been re-
gained.
The Paris advices are to the eff
feet that the crown princes army
was heaviest loser, and that the
losses of that branch of the Ger
man army the past summer total
at least 100000 men.
The French have made further
gains as the result of their smash
ing drive ON the western front, ac-
cording to the Paris official an
nouncement. In the Champagne
where they were battering at the
second line defense they have
made more progress. In the Ar
tois region near Souchez they have
gained ground.
1.-The German crown princes eff
forts to forge ahead in the Ar
gonne have failed, the French
statement says. In some instances
the Germans reached the first
French defense lines, but were
driven back after terrific fighting.
The French statement says the
Germans left the ground in front
