 BOARD'S HARMONY
Returns From Meeting of Naval Advisory Commit
 tee In Washington


 Andrew L. Riker, o1 Rsr1dgeport Q member of the naval advisory board returned to Bridgeport at noon today and resumed his guidance of the big Lecom obi1es. plant here <s In speaking of the meeting of the board. at Wash ington this week. Mr- Riker is re- stricted greatly by the pledge of se- crecy which has been imposed on all members
 That harmony exists between the various members and that the Presi- dent welcomed all, however, seems as- szred from the statements made by MT Rfker. One of the most pleasing. events of the meeting was the appar- ent accord between the new board and the personnel of the navy. It is believed that naval officers greatly appreciate the appointment of the new board and will heartily cooperate with the plans of President Wilson and Secretary of Navy Daniels.N
 On the way to New York today Mr.. Rfker was accompanied by several of his associates. -f

FEAR RAIL ROAD TRESTLE MIGHT
 SINK INTO MUD
New Haven Engineers Bols- tering Up Bridge Over
 Pequonnock River
TRAINS ORDERED TO
 GO THEIR SLOWEST
Feverish Haste Marks Elf forts of Contractors to
 Prevent Catastrophe

Engineers of the New Haven sys- tenn are afraid that the northerly lift of the big railroad bridge crossing the Pequonnock river will sink below it's normal level. At the present time trains are ordered to cross it going westward, at the sIowest possible speed and work of piling and concreting is being rushed with all possible lhaste.
 Investigation of the work now being done here shows that water has seep- ed through, the caison-work surround ing the abuttment eand that the rising and falling of the heavy, weight had 8 tendency to throw the interlocking platform out of true.
 The T. A. Scott Wrecking Co.,, which has had charge of the work has enormous quantities of con crete into the coffer-dam which has been constructed as an additional safeguard and it is believed that the. railroad will have spent $25, 900 be- fore the structure is fully completed. The river bed at this point is said to be extremely soft and to offer great resistance to modern engineering methods Similar trouble has been experienced with the Congress street bridge and special precau- tions will<have to be taken in the con struction of the Stratford avenue bridge.

 System. SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND DENTISTS HERE pr. A. c. Tones, Founder of System, Addresses Visit
 ors at Luncheon.

The preventative dental system of
 the Bridgeport public schools, which is the only organization of that kind in the United States, will soon be adopted in Hartford. A committee of Hartford school officials. chamber of commerce Representatives and dentists began a study of the system this .af- ternoon with view to establishing it in the Capitol City.
 Four representatives of Waterbury civic bodies are here also, and it is likely that when funds are available, Waterbury will adopt the plan for it's schools.
 The Hartford and Waterbury visit ors came to this city at noon in three automobiles. In the delegation from Hartford are Dr. c. P. Botsford, su- perintendent of the board of health; Thomas s. Weaver, superintendent of schools; J. J. Peard, Dr. M. A. Bailey of tile board of education; N B. Strong, delegate of the Principals club; ODr. J. F. Rooney, delegate of the Hartford Medical society and Dr. B. A. Sears, Dr. A. J. Gengras, pr. L. P. Abbe and pr. R. O. SchIosser the dental division of the chamber of commerce From Waterbury came B. W. Tinker, superintendent of schools; John Goss, members of the board of education and pr. F. J. Erbe. The dental committee of the local board of health, Drs-N A. c. Foness~ T. A. Ganung and W. J. Mclaughlin, en- tertained at luncheon.
 Dr. Tones addressed the meeting this afternoon and dwel1ed on the aims of the Bridgeport dental sys- tenn, what it has accomplished and what the. prospects are. He declar- ed that the school is doing preventa- tive work. rather than reparative, and showed that by teaching the chH- stining the Knowledge that care of the teeth. will obviate many ills, and by so drilling the children that they will keep up the practice of caring for their teeth when they leave school, he declared that the general health of the city's young un-' dOubtedIy will fbe greatly improved.
 This afternoon, tooth brush drills were witnessed in various schools The schools where the work Is carried on are Waltersville, Garfield, Whit tier, Longfe11ow and Jackson There are IA dental nurses, two supervisors and one woman dentist in the system
 we hope that we will be able to Install the system in the Hartford schools Dr. Schlosser said this af-| ternoon. s'Dr. Zones will address the chamber of commerce at a special meeting to be held October 19 and the movement will be started then"
 The Bridgeport dental system is do- ing remarkable work. It is under the guidance of Dr. Zones, whose scien- tific Knowledge, extensive practicel and ebility to instruct has made the sys- Gem a great force for good. Its ef- eects will be felt, interested persons say, not so much immediately as in a decade.
 Dr. Tones instituted the system, which has greatly grown. It's efficacy has been recognized and fostered here.

BULGARIA., DECIDING TO HELP TEUTONIC CAUSE,
 TAKES. RAP AT ALLIES

Berlin, Oct. v8-+The Frankfurter zeitung asserts that the Bulgarian government has issued a manifesto to the nation announcing it's decision to enter the war on the side of the cen tra1 powers. This manifesto, as quot ed from the F'rankfurter Zeitung by the Overseas News Agency, states that it would be suicidal for Bulgaria not to align herself with Germany and her allies.
 The manifesto. as given out by the news agency, follows:
 ''The central powers have promised us parts of Serbia, creating an Austro- Bulgarian border line which Is abso- 1utely necessary for Bulgaria's inde- pendence of the Serbians.
 2 we do not believe in the promises of the quadrupIe entente. Italy, one of the allies, treacherous1y broke her treaty of B years We believe in Germany, which is fighting the whole world to fulfill her treaty with Aus tria-
 Bulgaria must fight at the victors' side. The Germans and Austro-TTun- garians are victorious on all fronts. Russia soon will have collapsed en- tireIy. Then will, come the turn of France, Italy and Serbia Bulgaria would commit suicide if she did not fight on the side of thee entral pow CTS, which offers the only possibi1it of realizing her desire for union of all peoples
 The news agency says further:
 ''The manifesto to the people x
 states that Russia is fighting for Constantinople and the Dardanelles, Great Britain to destroy Germans competition. France for Alsace and Lorraine, and the other allies to rob foreign countries. The central pow CTS are fighting to defend property and insure peaceful progress.
 '"The loyal neutrality maintained by Bulgaria has been advantageous up to the present time, tne manifesto says and it is only now that the rnili- tary and economic preparations have been completed.
 .'The manifesto states that Serbia, the worst enemy of Bulgaria, has op- pressed the purely Bulgarian popula- ton of Macedonia in the most bar barous manner, the male population being compelled to die for Serbia's cause, the women being outraged and the rivers running red with blood.'

 the moment a watchfu1 attitude. is d. is such that her entry in the war seems to be matter only of hours.
 Russian warships already are re- ported to be hurting shells at the Bui-5 garia port of Varna, on the Black Sea French and British troops are being rushed northward from. SaIoniki by express trains. Meanwhile. at the point where the railway approaches closest, to Bulgarian territory both an allied and Bulgarian army are mass ing.
 It is reported from Italian sources that as a precaution the Serbian gov ernrnent is transferring all records and archives from Nish to Istip, in south ern Serbia, about 50 miles from the Greek frontier.
 Virtually made over in guns and equipment, and stiffened by British and French effectives, it is predicted here that the Serbians will offer stub resistance to the Ger sIsssI advance. They will be assisted bss the flood conaIs tors 7n the AIoravss valley. down which Field Marshal Von Mackensen hopes to force his way
