Summary
 OF THE War News

The resignation of Premier Venizelos and his cabinet has been accepted by King Constan- tine of Greece. Official advices to this effect were received in London today.
 The Greek premier's resigna- tion. which has further compH- cafed the already decidedly un- certtin Balkan situation, was be- cause the King informed M. Ve- nizelos that he could not pursue the cabinets policy to the end, according to Athens advices. The premier had indicated that he favored strong support of Serbia in com pliance with Greece's trea- ty obligations.
 With definite development of the courses to be vursued by Bull garia, Greece and Rumania still lacking, the landing of allied troops at Saloniki continues. Additional French forces disem- parked there today supplement- ing the force of 70,000 already landed, it is reported from Ath- ems.
 Bulgaria has failed to reply to the Russian ultimatum, Petro- grad advices state and it is as stunned in entente quarters that her entry into the war on the side of the central powers is innnain- ent.
 Rumania is showing signs of activity, however, recently send ing troops to the Bulgarian from tier and taking other military measures of an extraordinary nature, it is stated in news agency despatches from Greek sources.
 It is declared in Athens de- spatches that a, scene of wild dis order in the Greek chamber fol- lowed the announcement of the cabinets resignation. Sittings of the chamber were suspended.
 Only artillery fighting, with some hand grenade operations. is reported from the front in France. The French claim to have made some progress in com meeting trenches in the Artois region.

the old time party walls of brick and masonry on the various floors were removed.
 In their place were substituted mas sive ':I'' beams supported by steel col umns, which rest on a grillage of steel grouted in solid concrete, and all rest ing on the big girders in the base ment. Solid concrete floors were laid in the basement. Two. steel and con- crete staircases were built from the basement to the fifth floor.
 Thirty thousand square feet of plate glass were added to the store front; 27, 900 cubic feet of brick walls removed to admit fresh air and sunlight; and l, 900 cubic feet of outside wall were re- moved and replaced by steel and glass.
 Two fireproof elevator shafts were built from the basement to the roof and equipped with the largest cars In New England, each having a. capacity of 30 passengers.
 Not a single old floor beam was left in the building.
 Before the rebuilding commented the store had 45.0Oo square feet of floor space. Added were 38,000 square feet, giving the new store total of S3, 900 square feet of floor space.
 All of the old ceilings were replaced with metal ceilings, and the same Bridgeport contractors who engineered the heavy and perilous stunt of jug ing Drlck building 11lled With nu- manity each day put on the trimmings which include the French doors and handsome paneling in the new tea and rest rooms.
 The job was completed in five months and all concerned were glad when it was finished. If Architect Southey or Superintendent Greene will let you in on the trick of the thing which permitted the use of a huge derrick on the roof of the building while it stood on stiIts, they will tell you that the brick walls were tied to- gether with 1-2 inch steel rods. span to span, and that the rods were left in the walls making them stronger than ever.

F A few weeks ago The Farmer in its Fifty Years Ago. column printed a news item which told of the breaking of ground for a new brick block on the and Main street. A few weeks ago The Farmer printed an item about the rebuilding of the structure occupied by the D. M. Read Go.
 Strange to say the D. M. Read co. began business in the new block which was erected by Richard Stanton 50 years ago, and has never closed it's doors except on holidays and Sundays, but is today housed in a modern brick building with steel and concrete foun- dations and supporting piers of each of it's five floors of the same materials.
 On the Fairfield avenue side of the building the brick walls were removed and replaced with plate glass. The change in the appearance of the ex- terior of the building is not as mar vicious as was the method which has changed a half century old building into an up-to-date structure. When the big stores management decided to revolutionize the establish ment in all its branches it reached the conclusion that it could not go very far without a modern building, and it also decided that it could not close the store or any part of it while the work was being done.
 The contract was given to a Bridge port concern, The T. J. Pardy Con struction Co., and the actual work was done by two native Bridgeporters, Ar4 chitect Henry G. Southey and Super intendent of Construction Henry F. Greene, both products of. Grand street public school, by the way
 In five months time the huge build ing was raised on stills, as it were. The old foundations were torn out and new ones installed.
 While the place was filled with shop pers, steel girders, some weighing five tons apiece and weighing 90 tons in the aggregate were lowered noise1ess- ly from the fourth floor into the base
 nent and placed under the walls. All
