ROYAL EQUIPMENT l. COMPANY TO HAVE
 STAMFORD PLANT
Bridgeport Factory Owners
 Purchase Tract Near " Housatonic River.

The Royal Equipment Co. of this city is planning to erect big factory in Stratford to care for the rapidly increasing business in "Raybestos," a brake lining which has had big mar kets during the past year on account of the increased automobile business.
 Purchase was completed yesterday of a GOO foot tract of land on East Main street in Stratford, located on the south side of the railroad tracks, near where the American Brass Co. is building a water front terminal
 The new factory will have spur track direct to the New Haven road. The sale of property, nearly five acres in area, was made by Harry A. Burnes, building inspector of Stratford and Attorney Arthur M. Comley of this city, joint owners. The present plant of the Royal Equipment Co. is located at Bostwick and Railroad avenues.
 / Sumner Simpson, president of the Royal Equipment Co.,, said today that the plans of the company are not defi- nitely formed, that it might be some time before the additional factory was built but on the other hand work might be pushed soon. The neces- sity of expansion. however, was such as to require the purchase for addi- tional space. p<
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-09-07

The British and French success this week had an extraordinary effect on both armies. The ability of the French to make a second drive over the broad front and the same sector as that of the big offensive of the first of July brought conviction to the professional sceptics.
 "Go over and see the French" said the British officer, Eff you want to see an army with its head in the air.
 Not even the weather can damper the high spirits of both armies. The rain has been of the persistent, chilly autumn style. Men who came out of the trenches plastered with chalky clay, who had been charging under weight of 60 pounds equipment and then lying in miniature ponds made by shell holes or on the wet earth digging and wa1lowing in the mud, say Guillemont is taken and that pays for their hardships.
 The many new highways which the British build with ponderous road making machines brought from Eng land, and the new railways which are part of Sir Douglas Haig's policy have saved transports from being mired. Supplies have gone up as usual through the storms without interrup- tion. In the camps at the rear the soldiers make themselves little tents with their rubber blankets, under which they cluster for shelter from the downpours. They manage to keep partly dry but those in the fighting line expect, to be saturated.
 Whether private soldier in his shell ter tent or general in his automobile, all take the viewpoint it will take many months of fighting to bring the war to close, but none has a shadow of doubt of ultimate victory for the entente allies.

Value of Submarine Exaggerated, Asserts
 German Chancellor

London. Sept. 7.-According to defi- nite information reaching Berne. Swift zerland, from Germany, says des- patch to the Wireless Press, Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the German impe- rial chancellor, upon being questioned at the August meeting of the federal council as to why he yielded to- the demands of the United States regard ing unrestricted torpedoing of ships on the high seas, replied emphaticall, that the value of the submarine was exaggerated by, the adherents of wholesale torpedoing.N
 The chancellor said insistence on an unrestricted submarine warfare would cause war between Germany and the United States and that the results of unlimited torpedoing would not justify such a policy.
 Elaborating this point, the chancel- Tor is quoted as saying that Germany could not effectively blockade Eng land nor cut off England's food sup plies.

ALLIED TROOPS CONFIDENT AS FIRST STEPS TN GREAT
 VERDUN DRIVE ARE ENDED

With the British Army in France, Sept. 5, via London, Sept. 7.-The British feel that their uphill work in this latest offensive is over, with the exception of the taking of Ginchy. For over two months their fight has been one to gain high ground H%er the broad commanding front. Guillemont places them in possession of the last of the old second line trenches and from the Somme to Thiepval the Ger mans now have been blasted out Of their old positions.
 This is not the only point in our favor," said @ British staff officer. ''The Germans chose their ground when they built this line of fortifica- tions which they considered to be in vulnerable. When the British first smashed through the Germans said that we were in a sack. So we were, in one sense. But we had to make an opening in that solid line of de- fense as start in our plans. We knew the hardest work would come after the great main attack. This is so far accomplished that now it is the Germans whosare in sack.
