Summary
 OF THE w ar News

The German official announce ment of today says two French attacks at Les -Eparges have been repulsed; that German aviators have been active against the French near Epinal and in the Vosges and that, in Russian Po- land the forces of Emperor Will liam took a Russian position and soc prisoners near SuwaIki. The French war office reports very active night along virtually the entire front.
 British troops have taken some German trenches in Belgium; Ar ras was bombarded all night long; there has been incessant fighting in the Argonne and French troops have repu1sed the enemy on the heights of the Mouse, as well as near the forest of Le Pretre.
 An official statement issued in Berlin calls attention to Great Britain's actions in torpedoing a hospital ship and unarmed pas senger ships in Turkish waters while she at the same time is pro- testing against the submarine warfare of Germany.
 Stiffer resistance to the Teu- tonic advance towards Warsaw is being offered by the Russians / from day to day, the latest off ciaI reports indicate. Along the entire eastern battle front of approximately $50 miles from the Baltic to Bessarabia,, in fact the Russian lines apparently are holding the Austro-German ex- cept at one point. Near Krasnik in Southern Poland, the Archduke Ferdinand's army has broken through and continued it's ad vance the Polish capital.
 Tn France the Germans con- ] tinue pounding the French lines but toward the north the silence which for some time has prevail ed along the front held by the British remains unbroken.
 The Italians report the satis- factory development of their of fensive on the Carnia plateau and the success of air attacks on Austrian encampments in the vii ctnity of Doberdo. Severe fight q ing is in progress on the edge of Doberdo plateau, according to the latest Austrian statement.
 Through Manila come reports of serious unrest among the na- tive population Of British Indiaa
 Berlin advices tell of a British attmpt to attack German po- sition on the North Sea Oper- ating from a point of the Meth erlands Island of Terschilling, naval and aerial ships moved toward the objective, which the German official report does not indicate further than as "a ba.y'', 5 the attacking craft being repel1- ed, the despatch says, adding that a hydro -aroplane that sue ceeded in making an ascension, was pursued by German aero- planes and escaped by flying over Dutch territory.

 VIEWS OF Worlds w ar
FRENCH

Paris, July 6.-The French war office this afternon gave out a, statement on progress of hostilities, reading as fol- lows:
 sfLast night showed much activity at several points along the front In Belgium the British troops were sup ported by our artillery and took pos session of some German trenches at a point to the southwest of Pilliken, on the east bank of the canal There was a very spirited engagement around the railroad station at Souchez. The sta ton, however, remained in our hands in spite of the repeated efforts of the enemy to take it.
 '4The town or Arras was bonbarded all night long. In the Argonne there was incessant fighting last night with bombs and hand grenades. Our sartiI- lery on several different occasions was successful in checking the attacks of the enemy.
 "On the heights of the Mouse the Germans attacked on two different oc- casions our positions on the south side east of the trench of Calonne. They were completely repulsed.
 ''In the vicinity of La Pretre forest the enemy also assumed the offensive. Two attacks were made. One spread little by little from the western side of the forest as far as Fey-En- Have, while the other was derected particu- larly against that portion of the for est which is found to the west of Croix-Des-C -Carnes. Both were checked by the fire of our artillery and our in- family which inflicted very heavy Iosse+ es on the enemy

'.Another kid shot me" Whats his name ?"

''I don't know. He ran away
 This was the brief conversation that was repeated several times every hour at the Emergency hospital Sun day and yesterday when boys came to the dispensary to get treatment for blank cartridge wad@ wounds.
 Few of the boys admitted they had caused the injuries themselves. Near 1y everyone blamed some other boy who wilfuIIy took aim at his left palm and shot wad intot it. Few ack- now1edged they owned toy pistol ana ssit went off" unexpectedly.
 Most of the cases that were treat ed at the Emergency hospital were of of this nature. Some were of an un- usual nature however. May Wagner, aged two years, was struck with a bullet shot by some unknown persons.
 William Ray of Jane street is blarn- ed by James F. English, aged 10, with having shot him in the fact with a blank cartridge pistol. As He says the revolver was pointed at his face and a shell exploded. He received a wound in his right cheek.
 Ernest Smith, aged 12. sos South avenue asserts he received a wound in his right hand because some other boy pushed the trigger of his pistol.
 Louis Pirozoli, aged 12, of 149 Call houn avenue. shot himself in the palm of the left hand with a. blank car fridge. He came to the z Emergency hospital this morning and it was found the wound was infected. He told an emergency surgeon that he had gone to a Lexington avenue druggist and the latter had applied a paste to the injury. Because the law forbids druggists to treat injuries. an investi- gation is being made to-day Anti Tetanus serum was given the boy to- day to prevent lockjaw.
 James Gordon of 146S Park avenue was loading a, cannon when it explod- ed and his right index finger was in jured. It will have to be amputated.
 James Noska, aged nine. of 21 High street. told the emergency surgeon that another boy threw a hrecracker at him. It exploded in his face and he received a deep laceration on the right cheek.
 The list Of accidents since the ob- servance of Independence Day began about July 1, is below The cases detailed are those treated at the Elmer gency hospital. Many other slight in juries were attended by physicians in private practice.

GOOD HOUSING MOVEMENT NOT DIRECTED ON PRACTICAL LINES
 SAYS PROMINENT CONTRACTOR

pie can pay no rents for houses like the Good Housing association mem bers say they, ought to occupy?
 Most of the people in Bridgeport seek rents that cost from $14 to SIS per month. These rents are mostly in what are called flat houses and pro- vide five rooms and bath If any one will show me how ideal flats may be erected here and nAnted for that sum with the present taxes, water, gas and insurance rates will gladly engage to build a number of them.
 Everyone knows that Bridgeport is growing to be the biggest industrial community in New England. Every one knows that a lot of cheap labor labor will be employed here. Where shall these laiborers who have families and who do not earn big wages have houses?'
 fTake for instance the land sur rounding the present factory of the Bridgeport Arms Go. Who among the men who know Bridgeport real estate values better than they know the Bible or Shakespeare, would have thought of making an investment in that locality a year ago? Yet look how the value of property in that sec ton mas Jumped within the past year.
 Now I do not believe that houses shPu1d be crowded together on lots where there is no chance for air or, NSulitallOn put l 0Q Del16VGs and Il can point out right here in the city of Bridgeport, that there are many houses Of the three decker type in which three families live in comfort. These families are ins moderate cir cumstances. Usually the wife figures the earning capacity of the husband and she arranges housing conditions accordingly. She meets the rent col- 1ector when he comes around and it is usually part of her duty in the family, aside from caring for her c1l ildren and keeping the house, to see that the
 money is there when the rent collector calls.
 Most of these women would like i to live in little houses by themselves would like to see them live in such houses and if the Good Housing As sociation can arrange to provide such
 buildings and the members will sub scribe to build them, will gladly dc my share. do not believe however that 1t can be done and until [ am convinced must continue to protest and say that do not believe this ordinance ought to pass
 The ordinance to which MT Sher- man objects provides that no house
 built of wood more than two and one-half stories high and calculated to house more than two families may be built in Bridgeport. It was drawn by City Attorney ConnIey after a pulo- lie hearing before the fire depart ment committee of the common council. It will be presented to the Ecouncil tonight on favorable report from that committee.

Mems League To Have
 Band Concert Thursday

The Premier band, consisting of 2s pieces and under the leadership of Louis -Chiarve1n will give the first band concert in the North End Thurs day night at 73o The Mems league of O1ivet church has arranged to give a lawn party from 7:30 to 10:o0 p. h. and will serve ice cream and cake. An other feature of the evening will be the opportunity for every one to take an automobile ride. Eight cars have been engaged for the evening and fre- quent trips to Beardsley park and Sea- side park have been arranged for all who desire the ride.
 One object the Mems league have in mind in bringing the band to the North End is to cultivate an interest in the proposition made some time ago, to have a few band concerts every sum mer in that section of the city. It is believed that more than a thousand North Enders will be on hand Thurs day Night to join in the request to the city for band concerts as a regular feature of the summer Heason-

THREE DECKERs MAY
 BE MADE INVITING
Snail Wages Do Not Place Cottage Homes Within Reach of Thousands of Bridgeport Toilers Good Housing Not to Be Attain ed Through Cottages.

sf4ow can a man who earns SIS, Tper week and who has a@fandily live tn a house built of brick and pay $50 per month rent ?ss
 This is the query which Adolph Sherman. member of the board of ap-3 poft1onment, real estate operator and builder, submitted today. MT. Sher- man is opposed to the ordinance regu- ulating types of wooden buildings in Bridgeport which is to be presented for confirmation to the common coun- oil at the session this evening. Mr. Sherman claims that the law is not on- 1y unfair but that it is unconstftution- Bl and cannot be enforced.
 aThree decker houses if they are built of wood,'' said MT. Sherman, can be erected so that they provide suitable homes and the, best answers to Qthis argument is the number of people who live in them in this city. It E all right for David S. Day and others like him in the Good Housing association to ride hobby, get their names in the newspapers and tell wor king people how they ought to live but why does not this association prove the sincerity-of it's argument by going out and building houges of the type they claim working people ought to live in?
 pie in the building business that such houses may be built and maintained at the cost they claim they can be made :?
 CT have some interest in the build 4ng business. admit am not a philanthropist We must face facts. Amy builder knows that a one family cottage of the kind the Good Hous- ing association wants the people to have cannot be built Nor less than S3s000 in any neighborhood that is close to workingnan,s place of ernz az ployment- Add to that the cost of the lot,ainterest. insurance, taxes, etc., and see how much is left.
 MT. Day and those others who are behind this movement come here and tell our people about the wonderful houses built of brick in Hartford and PhlladeIphia. All about these cities are red clay banks and thousands of brfck yards. Brick is cheaper than Humber il. those sections, but brick is !rnuch dearer than lumber ilt Bridge bort and, vicinity as any builder will tell you.
 FF-sIyais ordinance restricting the build fought not to pass. There is already a lstate law which provides suitable air massage and surroundings for houses : Of the three decker kind. Two fam lily or three family. houses, if properly EbuiIt Of wood, do not detract from the value of other property in their immediate neighborhoods.e
 Let some members of the Good Housing association go to the section In the vicinity of tlte Bridgeport Arms 1aetory and price land values there In that section within a very short Ninne many houses must be erected if Ahe wordngmen whom the factory will employ are to live in that vicinity. Many houses must be erected at once zf these workingrnen are to live here at all Where will all these people Hive If no houses are built in that neighborhood
