PLAN LECTURE AND CONCERT HERE FOR
 IRISH SUFFERERS
Plaza Theatre Will Be Scene of Entertainment to Stimu-
 late War Relief.

Under the auspices of the United Irish societies of this city, a lecture and concert will be held at the Plaza theatre, on Sunday evening, June 25, to stimulate interest in the raising of funds for the Irish people suffering through the rigors of the great war.
 New Haven has raised approximate ly $5.00O to swell the general move nent of cash to Ireland. from all parts of America Bridgeporters of Irish nativity or descent have taken up the idea with much enthusiasm and are hopeful that the prosperity of the Park City will find expression in a liberal response to the call of the Irish widows. orphans and war in valids.
 Arrangen4e ents for the use of the theatre were made last evening by Col T. J. Murphy and Daniel J. O'Con- nor, who visited s. 2. Poh. the amuse- ment magnate who owns the Plaza, at his general offices in New Haven.
 The program for the lecture and concert has not yet been completed. It is expected that many noted artists will take part. It is the plan of the leaders in the movement, to have the concert and lecture given free. and to depend upon other means of appealing to the generosity of Bridgeporters, whose interest in the cause may be aroused through the entertainment.

tract was a guarantee of an unusual figure as their share of the weeks re- ceipts, to which MT. Isham agreed, as he is anxious to give)the public of Bridgeport the best possible form of amusement at the lowest possible cost.
 Never since motion pictures were first shown has a subject or produc- tion aroused such intense interest as in the case of 'The Birth of a Ma tion.'' It is a wonderful exhibition, educational to the extreme, and is the sort of an attraction that can be wftA the interest or attra ctiveness waning in the slightest.

PLAZA

Although the Plaza has for some time been presenting a praiseworthy line of attractions that have packed the cosy playhouse to the doors thrice daily for many a moon, the bill which has been arranged for the present half of the week deserves especial men ton.

 White and W.Iite started off the show yesterday with a S clever a soft shoe dancing diversion as the writer has had the pleasure of witnessing in recent mon ths.

 Hoyt, Manion and Eyams, two men and a woman who strike the audience on their first appearance as being of the old school and who prove that they are thorough breds before they finish their screaming1y fanny sing ing, talking and dancing skit, had lit tie difficulty in winning enough ap- plause to make them work a little longer yesterday afternoon.

 Yes. Washington, in 1794. was forced to ask France to recall him. which she did, but at the same time asked for and obtained the recall of our minister to France, Gouverneur Morris.
 In the event of the United States eo- ing to war with Germany, when they would naturally confiseate all German ships now informed here, would these have to be returned to Germany at the conclusion of the war under a treaty which, i am told, is in existence be- tween this country and Germany, made about 13267
 The treaty of 1928 between the Unit ed States and Prussia made no men tion of merchant ships and contained no statement which would apply to the hypothetical case you cite. The part of the treaty of 1799 which was re- vived in the treaty of 1928 contained the following clause: ''If, war should arise between the contracting parties the merchants of either country then residing in the other shall be allowed to remain nine months to collect their debts and settle their affairs and may depart freely, carrying off all their eff fects, without molestation or hin drance.''
 The Hague conventions of 1907 pro vide that merchant vessels caught in an enemy port at the outbreak of war cannot be conf1scated, but only detain- ed during the war or reQuisitioned if compensation be paid. The United States did not sign this particular con vention, but it is reasonable to suppose that we would abide by 1t.
 It should be remembered, however, that the merchant vessels belonging to the Teutonic allies which are now held in American ports are not interned. They are commonly spoken of as "the interned vessels but by strict inter pretation the word is not correct, for they are free to depart at any time, and their officers could obtain ships clearing papers whenever they asked for them In the eyes oe the United States government the status of the German and Austrian merchant ships is precisely the same as that of the British and French or the Dutch and Scandinavian vessels. The TeutOnic merchant ships are held here not by the United States, but by their own of ficers and owners to avoid capture
