GREEK CRISIS ACUTE.
No Longer Merely a Question OF the
Cessation Of War Materials.

Cessation Of War Materials.
Paris, Dec. 3-The firing at Ath-
ems diminished during the night and
now has ceased, says Havas des-
patch from that city. The Entente
troops have been sent back from Ath-
ems to Piraeus. The Greek government
has ogered six mountain batteries to
Vice Admiral DuFournet, but the En-
fente ministers have received instruc-
tions from their governments to de-
clare to the Greek authorities that it
is no longer merely a question Of the
lcession Of war materials but far
more serious question and that re-
Daration must be made corresponding
with the gravity Of the assault on the
allied troops.

AMERICAS GREATEST RURAL

Famous Players Adapt Denman

Famous PlayerS Adapt Denman
Thompson's Classic, sThe Old Home.
stead"
In the flood of thrilling romances,
vulgar comedies and sex dramas, it
| is relief to find good old-fashiohed
| play like Denman Thopmsons rural
classic, THE Old Homestead" being
adapted for the motion picture screen.
This beloved old comedy y-drama, which
for over thirty years has held the
| laughter and tears Of the public un-
der its magic spell. has been adapted
and will be the Paramount Picture at
the Idle Hour this week Wednesday,
Dec. 9Th.
THE Old Homestead" like Uncle
Toms Cabin has proven its popular
ity and its undying interest to genera
ton after generation Of theatre-goers
and it is estimated by Frank Thomp-
son, son and heir of the celebrated
author-actor, from whom the rights to
the adaptation were obtained that in
the three decades during which the
play was being presented on the stage,
1t was seen y" over twenty million
people in the United States and Can
ady. Though it might seem that such
an estimate was too high, it must be
remembered that during the entire
period that Dcnman Thompson was
presenting the play and appearing as
the beloved Josh Whitcomb in person.
there was at least one other company
touring the country in the same play
1t is interesting to know that
Thompson drew his characters from
real life and that the name Joshua
Whtcomb is actually a composite OF
the names of two New Hampshire
ncighbors whom the author knew and
admired The scene of the rural por-
ton OF the drama was laid in and
about the Thompson home in the farm
every character in the play had its
counterpart in real life.
In that fact lies the explanation OF
the universal appeal which this sim
pie play has had from the day Of It's
first presentation. 1t was way back in
1875 that Thompson first conceived the
idea which he worked out as a short
sketch, under the name of Josh Whit
comb The success of this short play
encouraged him to expand 1t into the
form in which 1t was presented for
over thirty years as the familiar "Old
Homestead" 1t is, Of course, this vcr-
sion which has been converted into a
motion picture.
In the role made famous by Dcnman
Thompson there appears Frank Losee,
the distinguished character actor, who,
after long and successful career on
the speaking stage. became member
Of the Famous Players Company. Mr..
table work in "'rhe Eternal City," "The
Masqneradcrs' and other productions

Josh Whitcomb he will have the great
est opportunity of his career.

SEARCH VESSELS
 AND TRAINS FOR PARALYSIS CASES
Health Authorities Here Hold Up New Workers
 Coming Into City.

The most rigid precautions are be- ! to prevent transmission of the dread
 infantile paralysis from New York
 and other ~cities to Bridgeport. With
 one positive case reported in this city,
 the fact that an exodus of families is
 reported from New York has caused
 the local health officer to enforce reg
 uIations not invoked in this city dur | ing the last decade. 1 Yesterday and today every boat and train arriving at this city has been
 held up by health board inspectors ac- companied by police that close scru- tiny of all children and examination of the parents might be made.
 1 Appeal has been made to the Federal
 authorities and to the New York ex- perts in his disease to furnish all needed data on the cause and control of the disease and to seek co-opera- | tion in preventing transmission of the 1 epidemic from other cities.
 | Two health board nurses were sent | to New York city the Naugatuck today with instructions to notify Dr.
 Darlington, head of the New York
 health board, that Bridgeport would l expect that city to take adequate
 measures to prevent suspected cases leaving Manhattan Island by rail or water with this city as destination.
 It was stated at the health board of
 fees today that the one case of in-
 fantile paralysis reported here does l not warrant the closing of factories,
 playgrounds and amusement places, but | that in the event of a spread of the | disease provisions have been made whereby these places will be closed l to all children under the age of 16 years.
 Beginning yesterday all trains arriv- | ing in this city were met by one of l the school nurses. The children were | immediately corralled by. the police
 men who have been detailed especially | by the local department and were not permitted to remove to their destina-
 tions in this city until they had been closely examined and their residences
 here carefully noted. They will ot be permitted to remove from this city without giving notice of future des- tination.
 | Likewise the big daytime and ex-
 cursion steamers arriving at this port |
 being held on board by cooperation
 with the transportation companies for
 a period of half an, hour. Similar l precautions were taken as at the rail- road station.
 Hereafter city inspectors will travel
 on all boats from New York, making l their examinations enroute to avoid de-
 lays in landing passengers here. j. The case of Joseph HeigIe, one year old. of 678 Stilllman streeet, quaran- l tined at the Bridgeport hospital, has | been declared ty physicians not to be infantile paralysis and the restrictions will be removed. It was said at the health offices today that no new cases of septic sore
 throat had been recorded. The in- lection is quickly disappearing. it was | said.

 brought up to meet this threat. The Russfann suddenly showed greater ac- tivity along the EarnysKovel railway and above that line with the result that the Germans, according to Rus sian accounts, have been driven back
 in disorder to point q little more than 20 miles from Kovel.
 It is believed this sudden onslaught
 win compel the Gerrnans to abandon
 the defense along the Btokhod river. a beyond that stream German stores
 have been ret anre. some English
 military writers are of the opinion that Kovel itself may have to be given ur. In Bukowina, General Letchitzky has advanced upwards of 50 miles and Is nowI within striking distance of Stanislau. Tn fact, with the excep- ton of a stretch between Larnopol and Alexinetz, where General Won Bothmer has withdrawn his. line only a short distance, the whole Austro- German front of 250 miles from Pinsk | to the Carpathians has been driven back with heavy losses in men and material.
 General Letchitzky alone. in the two weeks ended July T. added upward of so.oo0 prisoners and IS guns to the booty captured in the original drive. French occupation of Biaches. op- posite Peronne, is considered the most persistent gain in tAe fighting in the last few days and 1t probably will ne- cessitate the withdrawal of the Ger aluf ufy1d ,f Q territory in the bend of the somme southwest of that village.
 North of the somme the British have made slight further advance towards C6mbles. Yesterday witness
 ed another heavy bombardment along the Yser and before verdun.

 Any infringements that may have been made upon Mr., Lakes patents by the German government, if brought into the courts would be matter of international law and as such would probably be handled by Attorney Fred Browne Whitney,
