ALLIES AGAIN DRIVE
 ALONG ENTIRE FRONT
British Occupy Pozieres and Advance Toward Bapaume to East-TeutOns Being Forced Back to COmbles.

London. July 23.-The fourth week of the Somme battle begins well for inc entente allies and is expected to bo fruitful of important developments. Before Saturday midnight the British beqan new attack on the whole line from Pozieres to .Guillemont, and that General Haig has been able to resume the offensive so soon after the unsuc- cessful German counter-attack of last week, in which very strong German forces were brought forward, is re- garded as a good augur~
 The fighting has been of the fiercesr character, the Germans working with their utmost strength to rpevent the British from advancing to their third line positions. But when the last re- ports left headquarters in France, the Australians had firmly established themselves in PoZiereS and are re- ported to have placed themselves astrde the road in the direction of Bapaume. while at Guillemont and Longueval fortunes fluctuated, both places changing hands several times. Late tonight the fighting was proceed ing with the utmost violence.
 The German counter-attacks re gently delivered against the French front have proved equally unsuccess- ful. and the entente allies now are fighting slowly in the direction of Combes, which is only two miles distant from Guillemont.
 According to a reliable estimate, the British and French together nave captured since July l more than 26,- GOO prisoners and 40 guns.

DRASTIC EMBARGO ENDS SHIPMENTS OF COAL TO
 BRIDGEPORT FACTORIES

The most embarrassing embargo yet placed upon freight shipments to this city will go into effect at midnight.
 The embargo absolutely prohibits all car shipments of both anthracite and bituminous coal. The Ium Der and cement shipments to this city will be cut down to one-third of the daily amount offered at terminal points for delivery to this city and with the exception of foodstuffs for human consumptions printing paper and household goods no shipments of less than carload lots are to be deliver ed
 This condition led to strong com ment this morning in circles where the prospective embargo was known. The only excuse offered by railroad of hcia1s for the act, which throws ship ments of nearly all goods purchased in New York or elsewhere about the country for delivery to retail merch- ants in this city, into the hands Of express companies at high transporta- ton rates or to the fboat-lines that arc already running to capacity, is the fact that freight handlers are scarce throughout New England, having been attracted to other work by a higher scale of wage.
 The effect of this embargo is that small freight shipments bought in cit fes along the line of the New Haven road will be handled. Goods in less than carload lots and not for human consumption, bought by cIothiers hardware dealers and the host of re- tail merchants in this city will be handled by the New Haven railroad if shipped through the express com pany, which heretofore seemed to have no difficulty in getting handlers for express matter. or will have to take their chance through the boat lines from New York.
 asked for an explanation of the condi- tions here, said: s'It means that fac tories here dependent upon their coal supply from the New Haven road will not get any except<wn is already on the way. All coal shipped into New England will be delivered. No new shipments will be received. I do not know how long the embargo will last.
 'So far as Bridgeport is concerned there is no reason for the embargo. We are handling what is coming in with reasonable regularity. The eEn- barge,- as understand it, is in part due to the labor troubles Men sare not abundant At all large centere there is the same trouble of getting hslp.''

CITY TO POLICE WHAT RECENTLY WAS WOODLAND. Village Now In East End, Where Cows Were Mooing
 Several Months Ago. NEW BEATS WILL BE POPULAR AS MEASLES Cops Must Pull" Boxes Every Hour Hereafter,
 Captains Decide.

With the proposed appointment of 72 policemen to the department comes the creation of another 'beat" that will rival the one in the Brooklawn ssbeat'' will encircle what was once known as Athletic Park and will be on the northern boundary of Remington City in Boston avenue.
 Acting Superintendent William H. Anderson and Captains John H. Red gate and Joan H. Began are complet- ing a map of new posts to be added
 The new map calls. for four police men to be stationed in Remington City, There are six streets in this section bounded on the west by Mill Hill avenue and on the east by be the southern boundary line and Success Hill will be the northern boundary.
 This is the neighborhood that only 8 few years ago afforded excellent pas lures. Squirrels could be seen Hitting about the limbs of trees, the crack of the hunters rifle and the noise of a discharge of gunshot could be heard as the hunter was soaring up a flock of birds
 When the new policemen go on duty this recent wilderness will be occupied
 
 erected as far north as the foot Of Success HilI,s new streets have been made and stores are already open for business.
 Where the crack of the bat and ball was heard on Athletic Park short time ago will be three grocery stores and this point will be the business cen ter of Remington City.
 Cops will pull the strings to land these ''beats'' in the summer time where they may enjoy the balny breezes as they come rolling across Mill Htll from the waters of Long Island sound; but when winter arrives the boys will not be so anxious to land these posts
 One of the beats will be from Bos- ton avenue to Success Hill, west to Palisade avenue and south to Boston avenue. Another post will call for patrolling the section north from Bos- ton avenue to the town farm and from PaHsade avenue west to Stillman's pond. These will be the Siberian posts.
 Among other posts will be one west from Pembroke lake to Mill Hill ave- nue and south from Boston avenue to the railroad track. Another will ex- tend from Mill Hill avenue east to Bruce's brook and from Boston avenue to the railroad track.
 i The creation of several new beats will call for more police signal boxes. Policemen hereafter will ring up'' once every hour, not every three hours as they do now. A new police sta- tipn, to, be known as the fourth pre- cinct, will be built either at Barnum and Seaview avenues or at Central and Barnum avenues, opposite No. 6 en- zine house.
 The plan for the new posts will be subHitted to President John c. Stanley and the other members of the police board at the regular meeting to be held Saturday night. If approved, they will be established May 16, when the new policemen will go on duty.
