brought on without the men making any positive demands or even stating in an understandable way just what they wanted. He said that the com- pany felt sorry for the men who had Teen hurt. The strikers had been told that the company did not want trouble, but was desirous of conduct ing it's affairs peaceably.
 There was a report on the city streets this morning that leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World m ovement had been circulating among the strikers but if there were such the authorities had not found them.
 From evidence accumulated by the police it was evident to them that workers in other plants took part in the stoning of the companys build 1ngs. It appeared that as the strikers reached the Ansonia com pany's plant other factory workers shied a few stones themselves and then went on to their work.
 The company did not resume operations today as the buildings have been damaged. Repairs are Eeing made and probably work will be resumed tomorrow

The new health ordinances make an anti fly campaign possible.

 For the past two years the health department has contented itself with simply ordering stable owners to o5eY the law. Frequent inspections have been necessary and will be in the flu ture, but the department is not going to bother warning people that the law is being violated. It will be as sumed that the law is known and violators will be summoned to police court forth with

SimsburY Plant Closed

Simsbury, May 19.-The plant of the Ensign -Bicllford Co.,, makers of fuses, was practically closed today as the result of the strike of operatives in the company's cotton mills yes terday. It was also pay day and most of the employees were at the mill to get their money. The com pany has it's own cotton mills to make cloth used in fuses which are turned out by other departments. There are about 100 textile workers. These de- handed an increase in wages which the company has declined to grant. A year ago there was a general in crease of 15 per cent, and of late the help had a five per cent. bonus. The strikers are mostly Polanders and Italians.
 The stoppage of the cotton mills ade the fuse makers short of ma terial This will compel closing down of the other. departments employing about 300.

GERMANS RESUME
 GRAND OFFENSIVE
(Continued From First Page.)

Hill BOA against desperate French counter attacks but they have suc- ceeded il1 extending their new posi- tions The present military situation Is characterized most precisely by referring to the fact that the French, and still more the British. are con- scious of their inability to advance, that they are able to act efficiently only on the defense and as long as thev outnumbcr the Germans con- siderably.
 "French military critics state that the Germans began the battle Ot Verdun merely for political reasons. A typical instance of a military action undertaken for political reasons is the Gallipoli campaign, in which many thousands of lives were sacrificed, with q retreat at the end as the only tangible consequence.
 'TWentY months ago the British, French and Russians an- rOunced their intention of marching On Berlin, occupying the German capital and placing guards of Sen calese in the streets of this city and Potsdam In view of this, how ought the present military position of Ger 1?lany's enemies to be chara cterized ?"
