Our Bill for Goods.
Bridgeport Standard }

The warning nations are bling m expenses and what they are getting in this country is costing them a big figure. But it is not war munitions alone, nor chiefly, which make LID the expense accounts. The conmer- cial report for July last now made Up in Washington shows that mum ition' are relatively a small part of what Europe is buying of us. To be sure. the other things are rendered d necessary in unusually large amounts through the war indirectly, and some of the fCt q stufs go to soldiers in the end perhaps. The Germans want to buy about $75,0oO,ooO worth of our cotton, if we will assume the risk of it's delivery. and although cotton is only construstively war material" it amounts to that in the end

Conceded Former Sheriff Will Be
 Democrats Choice Tonight
DEATH CLAIMS AGED WOMAN
Harmony Expected to Prevail at Cau- cus-Leadors Claim There Will Be No Contcsts--Dcserted spouses Seek Divorce Dccnccs-Briefs

Formal endorsement of the candi- dacv of William c. Hart for first select1nan is expected to be one of the results of the democratic causuc to be held in the Town hall this eve- ming. The party leaders strongly favor naming the former sheriff and the belief prevailed today that their recommendations will be adopted at tonight's gathering. MT. Hart had a conference with members of the town committed last evening and the way for his nomination was paved, the party chiefs concurring in the opinion that under the existing con- ditions no better selection could be made.
 In the ranks of the democrats there ie a dearth of candidates and the only hope of defeating the repub!i- can nominee, the leaders claim, lies in the selection of some one who can draw G. o. P. votes and at the same time hold the support of the demo- crats. MT Hart the town committee thinks the party has the individual.
 Since Sheriff Dewey failed to re- dppclIlI Illlil tt ucputy, NIL lIo1I llelo won the sympathy of a large number of people regardless of their political affiliation and while there is seeming ly nothing to substantiate the claim that the G. o. P. in Plainville had any hand in the matter, the fact that the leaders apparently made no effort to save him is bound to help his cause when he see ks the votes of the tcwnspeople.
 Tonight's caucus Is expected to be a most harmonious gathering. There are no contests scheduled and the business will undoubtedly be tran sacted in short order. The make-up Of the ticket will proba bly, be much the same as that of last year as far as the names of nominees are con- cerned' That Constable Henry David Wlli not be re-nominated was pro- dlcted today. The democrats do not appear to be enthusiastic over the officer and they are not likely to na me him.
 David mas stated that he wo,,1d not accept nomination from the democrats anyway. His name maE De brought up at the republican caucus ana the opinion is held that he will be among the G. O. P. nom irees on election day.

Radical changes in the organization of the Naval academy at Annapolis are contemplated as a result of the "gouging'' scandal which recently re- suited in the dismissal of two mid shipmen, the disciplining of dozen others and the removal of the super intendent, Rear Admiral Fullam. Sec retary Daniels said he was having thorough study made of the defects in the old system which underlay the dis graces of the last year. Private in stitutions, including many prominent colleges and universities, have been asked to submit detailed outlines of their examination systems for the guidance of the navy department, and an effort will be made to bring the academy into line with the best sys- tems in use among American col legiate institutions. Captain Eberle has been picked to succeed Rear Ad- miral Fullam as the Naval academy head.

Berlin News BERLIN 'POLS' ARE : IN FEVERISH STATE
Republican and Democratic Cau- CuSeS Are Called for Monday
TOWN MEETING SAME NIGHT


 Renominated Despite His Deter
 imitation to Keep Out Of It-Dun- < ham Farm Is Sold.
 Monday will be busy time for the Berlin politicians and the old town hall will be the scene of the activity. Three meetings of unusual importance have been called for tha- day. William w. Pagan, chairman of the democratic town committee, this morning issued a call for the annual caucus in the town court room at 8 o'clock Monday evening. The chairman of the republican town committee, Ex-representative William H. Webster. has called a caucus for the same evening at the same time < in the lower hall.
 t.aIn the meantime the local select men, William H. Gibney, N. w. Bald win and James J. Fitzsimons, acting on the petition presented to them a few days ago asking for a special town meeting for the purpose of con- sidering and taking action on a reso- 1ution recommended by the special committee appointed to create board <of finance put their heads together end have issued call for the town meeting to be held in the hall at 8 o'clock.
 After trying to figure out the prob lem of how to have two objects oc- cupy the same space at the same time and then giving up in despair it has been decided to hold the town meeting first. This iG expected to :, be a short session and will be fol- lowed by the republican caucus.
 With the issuing of the calls for caucuses at which time candidates for the town offices will be nominated, both parties are industriously engaged completing their tickets for election on Oct A. . The position of first ! selectmen will be the most hotly con- tested office this year. William H. Gibney, the present incumbent who has held the office for the past thir- esen years has on several occasions announced that under no circum- stances will he again be a candidate. Several of his intimate friends this morning when approached said that he would undoubtedly receive the nomination even though he is op- rSosed to it. Should MT. Gibney be nominated there is question wheth- CT he will take the office as he has already received several fattering of fers from several concerns about the state. Ex-Representative William H. Webster is being prominently men, toned as a successor to MT. Gibney Although MT. Webster says that he is not seeking the office he would take it if the people wish to have him. ss~ Assessor George B. Carter is also in the lirnelight as 2 probable candi- W date MT.

WAR WOULD BE CALAMITY.
Senator Smith Thinks Difference
Should Be Adjusted by NEGOTIATIONS

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, in an
interview with Star reporter, today
said:
Il am not prepared to discuss the
German note. I regret that tho press
seems disposed to express itself &C
freely upon 1t.
THE public mind should be quieted
not excited. The best thought should
be given toward preventing the United
States from becoming involved in the
European war.
Our difference should be adjusted by
negotiations, and the administration
and Congress should be encouraged an6
helped to accomplish such a result.
For the United States to become IN
volved in the European war would be
a calamity, not alone to our own peo-
pie. but to humanity"

BERLIN, May 81. via London. $3.50 Pm. !;
Western theater of war: The French
attempted yesterday north of Arras
and in the forest of LIE Pretre to
break through our front with strong
forces. At Arras the enemy worked
forward on the night before last by
means OF sapping. An attack on our
lines on the Neuville- -Roolincourt
front was expected, since the at
tempt of the enemy to force us out
of our position farther north had
failed. This attack was made yes
terday afternoon after several hours
of artillery preparation. Owing to
the bravery Of the Bavarian. and
Rhine regiments the attack ended in
complete defeat for the enemy. His
losses were extremely high.
In the forest of LIE Pretre the only
success gained by the French was
the penetration of a few advanced
trenches which were weakly defend
ed Otherwise the enemy's attack at
this point failed.
At Ostend (Belgium) a coast battery
shot down an enemy aviator.
The railway viaduct at Dammerkirck
was again destroyed yesterday by
our artillery with a few shots. The
French succeeded only a few days
ago in making 1t ready for use after
months of labor.

portance has occurred.

the battles of Peremysl German

Will Seek to End Chaos,
From now on the administration will
vigorously seek to end the chaos which
has ruled in Mexico for the last few
years.
Until the President makes public tornor-
row tho statement he has prepared on
Mexico the details Of his plans will not
be known. but 1t is understood that the
different Mexican leaders are to be in
formed that the time has come for them
to stop fighting between themselves and
agree on a government which the United
, States can recognize
1t is expected that the statement will
| recite the conditions in the southern re-
public as Duva1 West and other aeentH
trayed them. and the approaching famine
as a result of pillaging and lotstinp of
the property Of the Mexican people by
the military factions.
The President will point out how pa
tiently the American government has
waited for the Mexican factions to adj
just the problem themselves. and how
helpless the Mexican people generally
have become in the hands of the milf
tary elements, no one of which seems
capable of establishing a stable gov
ernment.

The statement. which is to be sent to
all the factional leaders. will not an
nounce the course which the United

agreement does not result. but will

intolerable and must be remedied nv

ments in the country with suficient
capacity to wrest the republic from Its
state of anarchy.
The advisability Of placing an en-

Omdal gloom over tho problems be-
