 In the retirement of Isaac Moss from business Bridgeport loses one of it's foremost merchants. unless af- ter q trip to Europe for his health, he should decide to again return to commercial pursuits
 He established the present business of Moss & Krieger, Feb. 28, 1891, then occupying but one small store of four, that had that year been con- structed from the old dwelling that still stands what was once the R. B. Lacey estate. Gradually he in- creased the size of his. store through. judicfous buying and courteous treat ment to customers. His knowledge of the cloak and suit business was extensive for, born and raised in New York city, he had early worked in various cloak and suit houses. rising to the post of chief commercial trav- el1er for the big suit house of Meyer Jonasson, of New ork and Boston. He came to Bridgeport with new ideas of merchandising and his place has always been noted in this respect Later he acquired the entire ground floor and about 12 years ago bought the property intact from the Lacey estate, and from the small start evolved a business that has been not only his pride but credit to the city,
 During his 24 years residence in this city. he has found time to care we'll not only for his family, who reside in winter time at-FairheId and Clinton avenues, and in summer at Fort Trumbu1 beach, but has been active in clubdom, fraternities and civic matters.

New Orleans, March 2s.-Because Gabriel Ferrand, the French consul here, has requested three French mu- tual aid societies in New Orleans to who have failed to report for service in the French army, relations between the consul and the large French pop ulation in this city have reached an acute stage.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News


 The latest Russian invasion of Germany is said at Berlin to have the same fate as it's predecs- sors. Today's official German statement contains the announce 1nent that the Russian forces which captured MemeI, at the northern end of East Prussia have been driven back and that German troops pursuing them across the border have captured the Russian town of Krottingen. No confirmation of this despatch has been received from Russian sources.
 The Russians are still on the offensive in Northern Poland, ,s but so far as the days despatch es show their attacks have been attended by no important results, The German war office asserts that the Russians have been driven back in every instance.
 Apart from a few small move ments such as have been in pro gress for several months the in itfative in France and Belgium yesterday was left to the airmen. Aviators of the allies attacked Ostend and German aerop1anes dropped bombs on Rheims. The GGrman SCdCGInSnJ says that a French aviator was shot down near Nerdun and that another French machine was forced to descend near Frieburg.
 The opinion is expressed by Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces in the field, that the war will not be of long duration. In an in terview with a French corres- pondent he says that spring prom ises well for the allies and that he believes the Germans are feeling a lack of ammunition
 Italy is preparing rapidly for whatever may result from the negotiations with Austria, now represented as having reached an important stage. A royal decree is soon to be signed esta ablishing rules designed to suppress spies. ,. Women are to be put to work in places of men in case of mobiliza,- ton of the army.
 An official Russian communities ton describes the battle which preceded the fall of PrzenysI. It is said that the troops left the fortress to the eastward in a. final effort to break through the Russian lines at any cost but were
