COMBINE CHARITY FUNDS
 IN BRIDGEPORT
Plan Being Considered For Pooling Appeals to Park
 City Purses.

Plans for gigantic charity fund to be opened for a week, once a year and from which every recognized charity in Bridgeport will draw, are being broached to the directors of so- cial organizations in the city.
 If the proposition is adopted. it is expected that a general appeal will be made to the people on behalf of such organizations as the Visiting Nurse association, the Day Nursery, the Hall home, the Bridgeport Pro- tective association, St. Vincent de Paul society. etc. Each society will es- timate its budget and make a requisi- tion on ,the fund once a year.
 Nearly every month in the year Bridgeport people are called upon to contribute to some social organiza- tion's support It has been. suggested that the societies combine their ap- peal and have a week-long campaign, during which 1t is hoped a great fund will be raised.
 The Chamber of Commerce is said to be backing the idea, and it is known that men interested in charities are pushing the plan.

thing which at the end of the 10th round of a 20 round fight, when both pugilists are still standing up well to each other. indicates the winner. The British, after nearly two years of stall ing. have been fighting week after week on soil taken from their foe. Thus the British morale has become the morale of attack. This offensive has been the school of war with death as tutor. As one staff officer said. If we had July 1 to do over again we should accomplish the same result with less loss"
 By fighting, the British new army learned to fight as Grants army learn Cd at Shiloh and McClellan's on the peninsula.
 Before the grand offensive, the British staff and commanders, those few professionals who were trained to direct the small regular army, re- alized fully their immense responsi7 bility in sending an army trained ih theory against the experienced Ger man organization. At that time one commander recalled to the cores pendent a saying. of Won Moeltke, that although the German as a soldier might not be better than his enemy the German army would always win because of a superior staff system.
 We have met the German staff, . says the same man recently, land I assure you none of us are suffering from stage fright these days We thank the German staff for what they taught us in the days of our unpre- paredness and of late they have been learning Q few things from us."
 Actual battle conditions have re- vealed, as no theoretical tests could, which officers are fit to lead. Those who are not, however good fellows they are, find themselves transferred. The route to promotion has become success in action. 3 Generals in the thirties and forties now direct the fighting in the field and battalion commanders who are not yet thirty have ceased to be uncommon.

UNIONS SEEK TO
 COMMIT HILL ON
 LABOR QUESTION
Ebenezer Usually Answers Such Queries with Hughes
 Like Evasion.

Curiosity of labor men in Bridge port has been aroused as to where Ebenezer J. Hill of Norwalk, who is running for Congress, stands on the labor questions.
 Despite perusal of MT. Hills speeches, nothing has been found to indicate where MT. Hill stands on some important matters relating to la- bor. The International Association of Machinists' Local 30, in this city, has appointed a committee to write MT. Hill and ask him his position.
 Union men want to know what MT. Hill would have done in the railroad strike situation. They want to know what he thinks of injunctions
 Labor men in this city said today that MT. Hills answer usually is: You may be assured I will give this matter my serious consideration"

GENEROSITY MET
 IN FIRST DAY OF BABIES CAMP A|CN
Bridgeport Letter Carriers Will Contribute to Fund
 of Their Own. .~

Most suspicious weather conditions "Save-the-Baby" campaign when they started today in their efforts to raise $10, ,000 in one week for the Day Nur- cry, Visiting Nurse association and their subsidiary charities. The work CTS were "on the job'' early and re- ports trickling into headquarters at The Stratfield were that the appeal was meeting with a most generous re- sponse.
 Postmaster Charles F. Green today endorsed the committees plan for or- ganizing the letter carriers of the city. The carriers will have a fund similar to that of the policemen and firemen and will be real boosters for the cause.
 Postmaster Greene also has made arrangements for the immediate de- livery to the campaign headquarters of any contributions by mail. Persons who haven't been approached by workers may send their donations by mail, either to Mrs. D. H. Warner, chairman, or Mrs. E. w. Downs, treas urer of the campaign committee.
 This evening, from 5:30 to 6:30 there will be a meeting of workers in the headquarters in the north sun parlor of The Stratfield. At that time reports on the first days work will be received. The headquarters in The Stratfield are open all day, and sup plies may be had there. There is also, telephone connection through the hotel switchboard.
 Wednesday from 12 to 1880 there will be a luncheon at the committee headquarters for the workers. This luncheon is provided for by the wo- men of the general committee, and does not figure as a campaign ex- pense. The expense of organization and advertising has been met by a generous citizen whose name has been identified with other worthy causes in the city. Thus, every dollar that is contributed will go directly to the treasuries of the several charities
 'Save-the-Baby' slogans today ap- peared in the advertisements of many mercantile houses, while the motion picture theatres of the city aided the campaign by the exhibition of slides bearing the likeness of "the baby"

of the policy of sitting on the safety valve of which Stuergkh was the em- bodiment. Where all the means of effective public opinion on the govern ment is denied. the right of public vengeance. will generally reassert itself in some fol m or other"
 "The assassination of Stuergkh," says the Times, tis by far the most noteworthy incident Nin his career. Though the crime may be but minor explosion it appears to have made some noise at Berlin. We cannot pre- sume to foretell it's further reverbe- rations."
 7 The Morning Post sees in the event a protest against Absolutism which may be followed by a reign of terror Expressing similar. thoughts, the Chronicle says among the Austrian masses the suffering brought on by the war has bred desperation and, however, its outbreaks may be pre- sented while the war lasts, there must be the menace of revolution as soon as it is over, to which the Austrian governing class cannot be indifferent"
 Vienna, Oct, 23-Government cir cles here regard the killing of Premier Sturgkh as an act of a poll tical crank which can in no wise in fluence the political situation or the course of the war. This statement was made to the correspondent of the Associated Press in high responsible quarters.
 It is pointed out that the. time which has elapsed since the murder has shown that Adler, the assassin, stands alone. His act is disavowed by the Socialist party and press and con- demned by his father, Victor Adler, Socialist member of the lower cham Der of the Reichsrath. Adler stated to the police that he shot Stuergkh be- cause the Premier opposed the con- vening of parliament. It is stated of ficially that Stuergkh had at no time done this and that he could not do it because the convening of parliament was a matter in the hands of the poli- tical parties. i
 The Austro-Hungarian press brands Adler as vile, irresponsible criminal, and without exception dep1ores the fact that the act of a crazy man should disturb the peace of the people. The city is quiet. The public regards the murder as a purely private crime.

Berlin, Oct. 23.--All accounts in the morning papers agree in calling the as- sassination of Premier Stuergkh, of Austria, the deed of an irresponsible political fanatic, if not a neuresthenic whose mind has given way under the strain of the war.
 Dr. Friedrich Adler, the assassin, is described by acpuaintances as man of a naturally fanatical temperament and one in whose family insanity runs his sister has been in an insane asylum for years. I nese evquaintapces say that Adler has given the impress sion for months of one whose nerves were stretched to the breaking point and that his wild actions have caused much agitation.
 The Vorweerts, which expresses the strongest disapproval of Dr. Adler's deed, declares he was undoubtedly de- rnented when he committed the mnr- der as nobody in his senses could hay expected favorable results from such an act.
 Premier Stmergkhs last political act was to prohibit two big meetings call-
  vor of the conversation of Parliament. He also declined, on the part of the { government, to participate in, con- ference of parliament officials tomor- row. to discuss the possibility of the Ifesumpion of sittings of the represen- \ tattves.t
 It is not thought that the premier's death will have any effect for or Against convocation, as he only acted as a representative of the system in opposition thereto. There is no dis position to charge Adler's act to the parties which demanded the reconvo- {. eating of the Diet.
 POLITICAL PLOT SEEN.
 London, Oct. 23AThe morning papers print long editorial articles on Ithe assassination of Premier Stu srglah. The, general opinion is that the removal of Stuergkh is the work of men who wish to free the Austrian government from { clique of politi- clans On this theory the assassina- ton is held to represent the Austrian Movement to escape from the domina- ton of Berlin.
