 Almost complete silence veils the situation in the eastern war theatre Petrograd reported no engagements in southern Poland or eastern Ga1icia and both Vii enna and Berlin declare condi- tions in this territory are un- changed.

 So much as 8. suggestion that the Remington Arms and Am munition Company should use it's influence towards a settlement of the dispute, might properly be resented by the interested parties.
 The only persons qnaa1f1ed to arbitreate the dfaput are the heads of the Federation of La Dor and it is earnestly hoped that they will apprecaate the situation and bring the men to a reaaiza- ton of the faIgity of their posi- ton towards themselves and the injustice of calling a strike against employers against whom they have no complaint to make.

.GURO0N STREET IN
 TANGLE WITH TWO
 SETS OF NUMBERS
Residents Puzzled to Find Numbers Begin at Each
 End of Street.

The confusion that reigned at the Tower of Babel has nothing on the confusion that now reigns in Gurdon street. according to some of the resi- dents ihheFe. Gurdon street is a. com parattve1y new street in the North End, and extends northeriy from French streetto"sprfngda street Re centiy the residents applied to Post master C'harles'F Greenesto have mail carrier service at their doors.
 Under theepostal +euIes it was neces- saFy that all the houses be properly numbered and sidewalks laid in the street. Some of the residents laid sidewalks ofs concrete or cement and then cIubbed tpgetherNand laid cinder did not. Then they applied to City Engineer Terry for a layout for num- bering the houses. It is claimed that the city engineer sent out a layout of numbers beginning afsFFench street and running noffherly and then latter sent up another set of numbers which began at SpEtngda1e streets and ran soHther3y.
 In consequence the residents began to number their houses from both ends of the street unti the rnixup was discovered. Now the numb erine process is aE a EtazFdstiII until the prop erty owners find which is the proper direction for the numbers
 At the office of the city engineer it was said today that but one layout of numbers was furnished from that office and that layout started at French street and ran northerfyswhieh is proper. In Bridgeport, numbers on all streets. start at the water if the streets begin on. any waters edge; if not thev run in the same (iiracfde11 as the adjoining streets which do touch the water. For instance the numbers in Fairfield avenue start at the bridge and go west, while in S*rat- ford avenue they start at the bridge and go east. Tn Main street the mum bers start at Seaside park and go north The Gurdon street property owners will find a way out of their di- 1emma by consulting the city en- gfneer.

Stamford, July 14-Because he has repeatedly testified that he was not in the company of Thomas Collins. while eight witnesses have told Cor .oner John J. Pheian that he was, Thomas Kelly of this city is held un- der s1, 500 bonds here on a. charge of rnanslaughter in connection with the death of Collins The Mfeless body of the latter was found one week ago in an alley near the Wiesh eit's cafe and chop house Collins and Kelly had been elected from the place by Frank Daly the bartender after Col nns had refused to pay 30 cents for sandwiches. Daly also Is held in the same bonds on the manslaughter
 When Coroner Phelan continued his inquiry into Collins death here yes torday, Daly told him that both Col Mns and Kelly came into the saloon drunk and after being refused more drinks went to the dining room above. the saloon where they he'd the sand witches for which they laAer refused n pay.

They demand d more drinks and Da1y came from behind the bar and f1k1z4$ Kelly Dy eRh@ a1m thrust him through the swinging doors into the street. He then attempted to put Collins out but Collins pulled away and fell back words stx1k1ng his head on the foot xa1l In front of the bar. Daily claims Sha blow was not O violent one. He helped Collins up and put him out on the Mdewa1k
 Eight men who were in the saloon ak the ume testified that although they saw Collins lying on the floor of xhs barxuOn they dlu not see him Haza
 These same eight men have told the coroner that Kelly was in Collins com Dany both before and after the alter cz41on- Kelly has steadfastly denied 7 that he was with Collins or that he saw him the day he met his death
 An autopsy has developed that Col Iins had in his head what is known to medical science as a thymos gland. tThe breaking of this gland caused pfaI he1norrhage or a spreading of blood all over the brain until all the cells were cIogged and death ensued-
