 HIS 1ST DEPUTY
Names Present County Seal CT to Take Office Here
 June 1.

County Sealer Thomas J. Cunning ham was this morning named a dep uty sheriff by County Sherif-eIect Simeon Pease. He has accepted the appointment and will take office June 1 when Sheriff William Vol1rner a nd bis staff will retire. The new depu- ty will make his headquarters at the county courthouse. This is regard ed as the best plum among the depu- ties because no office rent is required and many writs from out of town, are sent by lawyers who want work done here but do not know the name O., any sheriff. Deputies John II. DonneI1y and Joseph WieIer share this office at present
 Sealer Cunningham will of course re- sign from his present office before June 1. He has been sealer. for several years and only recently a bill was put through the legislature rais- ing his salary from $1,OOO to $1.sO0 a year He was deputy during the term of former Sheriff Sidney B. Hawley, succeeding the late Peter Deo1an-
 The new deputy has always been prominent in local Republican cir cles. He is a well liked member of the EIks and of other fraternaI or ganizations.
 It is understood that several other local deputies will be appointed this week.

Cyclecar Co.'s Mail Swamp ed By War Agents

That agents for the allies cannot buy munitions of war fast enough to meet the demand in Europe has been evidenced in Bridgeport since the Lus- itaniaL disaster. Under the irnpres- sion that the American Cyclecar Co.,, in this city, Is entegring the business of manufacturing arms, agents Of for eign governments have swamped the offices of the concern with inquiries as to the capacity of the plant for manu- featuring arms and the terms of the company, and with offers of orders.

The plant there is especially adapted for the pur- pose When the death of Isaac B. Trum bull became known, a report was spread that his brothers planned to manufacture munitions in reprisa1 for his death.

 Through a n1isconception, agents o1 foreign governments, hearing the re port, thought the Bridgeport plant was to be turned to the manufacture o1 bullets and guns. Accordingly for the last few days the mall ef the con- cern has been swamped with offers from foreign governments.

ADVANCE CHE FRS
 BRITISH
Sir John French Breaks Long Silence And Tells of Drive of Nearly a Mile In to the German Lines.
NTIIItaTy COmnentaLOIS U4 England Believe This Marks Genuine Break of Kaiser's Forces.

T.ondnn. May 17-Field Marshal Sir John French has broken his silence in regard to the movements of the British army northwest of La Bassee with the announcement of an advance of nearly a mile into the German lines. This, together with the con- tinuance of thrusts both north or Ypres and southwest of La Bassee. constitutes the outstanding feature of the military situation today.
 Military commentators here re- srarded the British advance as gen utue break of the German line which, if maintained, must mean retreat for a considerable section of the in- vaders forces. Recapture of the bridge over the Yser Canal at steen- straAte by the French depriyes the Germans of their Hast connection with the west side of the waterway German assaults on the British po- sition at Ypres seem to have spent themselves, at least for the moment. as Field Marshal French reports all has been quiet there for the last 48 hours

Officials declare the United States will not recede from it's rights under in ternational law but intimates that if Germany acquiesce in the American position the United States probably will press it's contention of it's right to ship foodstuffs to Germany. This mat ter still is under diplomatic discus sion.
 It is thought probable, also, that an understanding might be reached giv- ing Germany definite assurances that no merchant ship leaving American ports would be armed, making 1t pos sible for submarine commanders to exercise the right of visit and search with irnpunity.

 When the President arrived at the reviewing stand he found the 7th regi- ment, New York National Guard, drawn up at salute. As the head of the column of mounted police dashed in the roped off square. the throng for blocks set up a cheer that did not end till the President had taken his p1ace.
