ARMIES Id GALIGIA
 AWAITING MUNITIONS

London, July 14. For more than a rsek new. the Austro-German offsn sive in Gancia ana Poland has been hanging fire while the Russia ns,. their center having fallen back on n more advantageous Itne in the heights to the north Of Krasnfk, apparently are tonic forces.
 Frenh ammunition and reinforce- ments may bring sudden revival of activity in this war theatre but mean time the western front, by reason of the uncertainty as to which side plans general offensive, will offer the greatest possibilities Of interesting de- veIopxnents.
 The French claim their front in the Argonne forest, after being dented by a violent attacq by the army Of Crown Prince F7rederick William, has been restored. the net result being a costly adventure for the Germans; but the strength of the offensive at this point leads tho British press to speculate whether the Argonne or the Woevre districts will not be selected for a general German offensive ra1her than the battle grounds in F1anders-
 Many reports from Balkan sources revive the rurnors that Turkey is weary of war and anxious for a sepa- rate peace Though none of the re- ports finds confirmation some sec tfons Of the British press profess to believe that they are not improbable in that Turkey is beginning to feel the pfnch of ammunition shortage in the DardaneIles by virtue of the refusal of Rumania to allow munitions to cross her borders.

PROGRESSIvES AND
 SOCIALISTS WON'T HAVE PRIMARY LIST
Failure to Poll 10 Per Cent Vote at Last Election
 Loses Right To It.

There will be no Socialist or Pro gressive party primary lists in Bridge port this autumn. Each of these par ties having failed to poll 10 per cent. of the total vote cast at the last cleo ton the registrars of voters are not obliged to prepare primary lists for them and hence those officials will be saved that labor. This will not pre- vent either party from placing a ticket in the field if they so desire.
 Registration for the primaries will be from August to August IA this year, The office of the registrars of voters, which is now on the second floor of the Masonic Temple, will be open every day except Sunday, August 8, from noon until g o'clock in the eve ming. Those voters whose names were on the last years. lists and who are stfH residents of Bridgeport will be retained. Those made voters last year must register to have a vote in the primaries this fall.
 There will be- only two lists this year. Democratic and Republican, but the other parties, including the So- ciafist Labor party and the Prohibi- tion party, will probably name candi- dates. There is also the usual talk of @, Citizens ticket but thus far it has taken no material form.

New Law Covering
 Liquor in Clubs Is
 Widely Questioned

The county commissioners have re- ceived many inquiries from officials of local clubs regarding the new law which requires these organizations to take out liquor licenses. The clubs want to know if the law goes into ef- feet August or on December 1 when the new license year begins but the commissioners don't know the answer to that question. They have written the Secretary Of State for informa,- ton on that subject but have not yet received a reply.
 If thA> law takes effect August 1, when ali the other new statutes be- come laws, the clubs must take a liz cense from August 1 to December 1 and then renew the license. But if December 1 Is the date the clubs will save considerable in license fees.
 The club license fee is $50 and each club must make application and swear that it is a bona fide organi- zatfon, not formed solely for the pur- pose of liquor selling. remon- strance may be filed against a, club application the same as in the case of a saloon or hotel. Fhee county commissioners expect to have a, defi- mite announcement in few days about the new law.

TO REFUSE MANY GIRLS ENTRANCE TO CITY NORMAL Board of Education Raises Admission Mark For
 Would Be Teachers. MUST AVERAGE 80
 AS B. III. S. SENIOR New Haven School Will Have to Care For Bridge
 port Graduates.

New Haven Normal school will have to care for many Bridgeport girls who would be school teachers, as a, result of a new rule placed in force this week by the board of education. Refusals of admission to the City Normal school in Bridgeport are expected to be many.
 Investigation is being made of the marks, during the senior year, of the girls who graduated from Bridgeport High school, and who would enter the Training school and unless theys aver aged 80 for the year, they will be re- fused permission to make out an ap- Iplication. The mark hitherto has been 70.
 About s5- graduates of the High school are planning to enter the Training school as a result of the board of education canvass. How many of these will be refused cou1dn' t be learned today because the investi- agtion of their marks has not been completed.
 When young women just out of the High school went. to the board of. ed- ucation rooms this week to get app1f- cation blanks they were not allowed to take them from the office, as has been done in other years This, Dr. c. w. Deane, superintendent of schools, explained today, is to save the girls the necessity of paying for a physi-
 
 they have not the passing mark.
 Many of the young women were per- turbed. They are making plans to en- ter the Normal school. Some raised the contention thetI many a good teacher has developed, even though she didn't average 80, and they said the best scholars don't make the best teachers.
 pr. Deane, however. said this IS not the case. Tn general he said, the bet ter a scholar the better a teacher and the cases where teachers have been developed from persons who had not attained better than average marks, are few.
 As many win undoubtedly be re- flised adnfttance, because of the new marking, standards, New Haven Nor nal school vii receive the surplus. Some of those who know they will not qualify were rather indignant today because they will not have chance to prove what they can do in Normal school They point to the acquisition Of score of teachers who have had no, other experience than in a country school in towns un5<n nown to most per sons outside them, and opine that they could do as well as them. I The conclusion was drawn that the crowded conditions at the Training schools is the cause of the new system but. pr. Deane said today:
 'tThe system was adopted by tine board to improve the efficiency of the teachers in the Bridgeport schools. We have no idea yet how many will be refused.''

CAPITAL AWAITS
 WILSON ON NEXT
 NOTE TO BERLIN
Will Probably Discuss Re ply At Cabinet Meeting
 on Tuesday.

Washington, July 14.-Pending the return of President wilson from Cor nisf. N. H., it was believed here today there would be no further develop ments in the situation that has arisen between Germany and the United States over the German submarine warfare.
 Just when the. President would re- turn to take up with his cabinet the latest German note was not definitely known, but the President in a des- patch to Secretary Humility said that he would be here soon. The supposi- tion is that he will be in Washington the last of the week and that the sub 3ect will fbe considered at Tuesdays s cabinet meeting. The Presidents tel egram was given out as a. White House statement and ended r-umors German reply.
 It indicated that the President had reached no decision as to the policy of the government and it is believed to have been called forth by statements that heS had already made up his mind that he did not view the situation as seriously as some of his advisers. The statement said the President was giving the German note his clos est attention. keeping constantly in touch with Secretary Lansing and that as son as both had natupely consid- cred the situation the President would return personally to confer with Mr. Lansing and the cabinet after which there would be as prompt an an nouncement as possible of the pur- poses of the government.
 It originally was President Wilson's intention to 471T17naon Secretary Ian sing to Cornish but the plan has been CT, cabinet members continued today to view the sttlra ton as grave, but gave no hint as to how the problem should be met.
