 IF YOU WANT MILFORD

Exchange Manager w. w. Knight of the local Exchange of the South ern New England Telephone com pany, announced today that on and after Sunday, April 18th. toll limo calls between the Bridgeport and Milford Exchanges, where a number call is desired, will be completed without requiring the subscriber to ask for toll line or to hang up his telephone and wait for the return call
 As far as the subscriber is con cerned, the procedure will be exactly the same as on local call, except that it will be necessary to prefix the desired number with the name of the Exchange in which the called telephone is located and to give the number of the telephone from which the call is being made.
 For illustration. if a subscriber in the Bridgeport Exchange, whose tele- phone number is 125, wishes to call No. 45 ring 2, Milford, he will say to the Bridgeport local operator, Milford 46 ring ? for 125" and re- main at the telephone until the tele- phone in the Milford Exchange has been answered. or the report has been given that they do not answer at the desired Exchange.
 Under this method the Southern New England Telephone company ex- pects to provide a, speedy and a sat isfactory toll service between the ex- changes mentioned above. The meth cd is already being used in large number of points and in every in stance is working out in a highly sat '. isfactory manner.

Petrograd, Aug. 24:-Frank ad-
mission that the important cities Of
Wilma and Bielostok will shorty fall
into the hands of the Germans, thus
severing the Petrograd-Poland rail-
way, was made by high official of
the Russian war oAice today.
''Our forces, however, will retain
two trunk lines and various branch
es sufficient to withdraw our armies
without danger of capture" said
this war official in an interview ap-
proved by the government.
I'VE do not believe Petrograd is
in any danger of the Germans.
Ample forces have been concentrat-
ed and the necessary measures have
been taken to protect the capital
The idea that the Germans have
crushed our army is ridiculous. That
is Just what the Germans have been
unable to do. They have pounded
down forts and forced us to retreat,
but territory is something that can
always be regained. The day is not
far distant when we shall resume
the offensive and put the Austro-
Germans back to their own border.
There is no concealing the fact that
present difficulties are due to errors
we have made in the past, but we
are firmly confident that they will
be followed by a moment of COM
plete triumph. Though the progress
of the allies seems slow, the truth is
that the most intense warfare pre-
sently will be proceeding" he said.
"The result that will be finally man
ifested will be enormous"

TELLS STORY OF
GAMBLING GAME
Railway Contractor SWearS He
Was Beaten and Robbed at
Gadek's in This City.
POLICE HAVE EVIDENCE
Declare Place is Hang-0ut for
Gamblers = Last Nights
Victim Badly Beaten.
POLICE HAVE EVIDENCE

Complaining that he had gambled
and won and had then been beaten
and robbed of $3.50 in Joseph
Gadeks hotel in State street last
night, Charles Dacis, Railway con-
tractor, swore out warrants for the
arrest of Joseph Gadek and his son.
When the defendants are brought be-
fore Recorder Pickersgill at O'Clock
tomorrow night, It is likely that sew
eral charges will be lodged against
Gadek. The police declare that they
have evidence he conducts gamb-
ling house at his Hotel State at
1908 State street. When reminded
that the most notorious gamblers
and crap shooters of this city and
vicinity gathered at Gadek's place
to apply their Illegal traffic Chief of
Police Burke said he knew that the
most notorious gamblers and crap
shooters of the city made Gadek's
their rendezvous and he indicated
that drastic action would be taken to
put stop to 1T.
The robbery of Dacis, as told by
the alleged victim before Recorder
PickersgiIl when he signed COM
plants last night, indicated that a
brutal and cowardly attack had been
made upon him. Dacis story is that
he came down from Railway yester-
day in response to message from
Gadek to arrange for some contract
ing work with him. Dacis states that
when he informed Gadek that he
was ready to talk business, the hotel
proprietor said he did not have time
as he was sitting in gambling game
and he invited the contractor to par
ticipate to pass away some time until
he became ready to discuss the build
ing work. Dacis was lucky, he says,
and won SIS. Later, when he
broached the building proposition,
he claims Gadek stated he still had
no time to discuss 1T, and he, Dacis,
said he had to go home.
The contractor claims that as he
was going down q fight of stairs
leading to the front door, Gadek and
This son fel1ed him with a shower of
blows from behind. They knocked
him down the stairs and battered
him with their fists and kicked him,
he claims. According to the conclu-
sion of his story, they tore open his
trouser pocket, took his roll of $3.50
in bills and kicked him out on the
street. When Dacis appeared before
the recorder, the right side of his
face was badly swollen, his nose was
bleeding and appeared to have been
broken, one eye was closed, his shirt
was bloody and torn and his right
trouser pocket was torn. The con-
tractor otherwise was we'll dressed
and was not under the influence Of
liquor.
Dacis stated that he lived st 163
Ridgely avenue, Railway. He works
in Newark He has one witness, he
claims for whom he procured a sum
mons from Recorder Pickersgill. At
the request of the complaining wit
ness from hearing was set down for
tomorrow night.
