The identity Of the man made a

supposition that he is Jean. Crones,
University club chef accused of poi

In a telephone conversation with

CHOIR TO SING
'STABAT MATER
Success of Its Rendition
Year Ago Leads To It's
| Repetition.

Notable among the, seasons musical
events will be the rendition, at St.
Patrick's church, Sunday evening, of
Rossini's cantata, Stabet Mater. This
will be sung in connection with an
appropriate lecture by Father John
Conway.
The selection of this cantata for the
annual concert of the church was
made as a result of the unusual sue
cess that attended its rendition a year
ago. Many critics who heard it last
year declared it to be among the
most notable musical achievements
Bridgeporters had ever enjoyed,
The soloists will be Miss Margaret
Hogan, of New Haven, soprano; Miss
Norma Weber, contrSlto; Robert
Weber Jr., tenor; and Joseph Weller,
bass. Prof. Fritz K G. weber, or
ganist and director, is directing the
rehearsals of the chorus of 40 voices
which win support the well known

will have elapsed after what is re-

down the bitterness of certain mem
bers of the Reichstag.
The ways and means committee of
the, Pruss1an Diet today crossed
swofds with the administration re-
garding the Diets competence to dis
cuss the American and other issues
of foreign and military policy. Herr
Irmer, spokesman of the conservative
party, defended the claims of the Diet
to the right of criticism.
The newspapers refrain from aI1ud-

conflict. The conservative Kreuz lie
tung argues editorially in favor of
open discussion in the Diet and con-
c1udes as follows:
within the limits of moral feeling

relations to foreign powers purely on
the basis of expediency. Should good
relations toward any particular power
appear absolutely indispensable to the
conduct of our struggle for existence,
we must accordingly adapt our policy

What Would You Do?

What would you have the av-
exage business man do?
Here he has been caught between
two radically different factors in the
motor truck situation - engineer
ing practice, which is largely
theory: and modern craftsmanship,
a very concrete and definite force.
He has done the best he could.
He has bought on the strength
Of sa1esmanship and trusted to time
toprove out the engineering theory.
He has been disappointed but
not discouraged
He has not even blamed the
salesman who sold him possibilities
In place of actua1ities he
knew that somewhere, sometime,
perhaps tomorrow, there would be
i a man to measure up to the job
.
The time and the need produce
the man.
Nineteen months of war have
put the motor truck to a test that
would have taken a generation of
peace service. =
One engineer at least has learned
the lesson A L. Riker, designer
of the Riker Motor Truck, tested
in war service on all fronts, and as
Il stands today largely developed
from the lessons of the war.
.
Now see how Mr.. Riker,s en-
cheering skill has provided for the
strains imposed on "a motor truck
taught by the lessons Of the war
and by deep study of transportation
conditions in modern industry.
The Riker frame dimensions ex-
coed common practice.
The design and construction re-
heve the springs of all driving and
torque reactions.f The springs act
only as springs, are more flexible,
reduce vibration and wear.
The transmission gears are extra
wide and extra large.
The bearings are the highest
grade obtainable.
The propeller shaft is large, and
has a center bearing, eliminating
shaft vibration and breakage.
The driving axles are very large.
The center housing of the rear
axle is massive.
The springs are mounted on
spring chairs, free to turn on the axle,
The driving system is the worm

hce in truck engineering.

quarters OF the Turkish army after
an Illness OF ten days, the semi-ofi-
cial news agency announced today.
BY many military critics. Won der
GOltz was regarded before the war
as Germany's greatest soldier, despite
the reverses suffered by the Turks in
the Balkan war after he had recon
structed the Ottoman army. He or
ganized Germany's secret defenses
along the Russian border, and it was
popularity believed would lead Ger
manys armies into Russia when the
war broke out.
Won der Goltz was a blum warrior.
who feared no superior. He was not
in good favor with the Kaiser, il was
generally understood in Berlin. After
serving a brief term as military gov
ernor of the occupied portion Of Bel

he became active minister OF war and
supervised the reconstruction OF the
