TROLLEY STRIKE ENDED, SERVICE BACK TO NORMAL

New York. Aug. S-Norma1 service on the most important street car lines in Manhattan and the Bronx was re- stunned today after having been par tially interrupted by strikes of motor men and conductors beginning about two weeks ago and culminating Fri day night, last, in a walkout of the men employed by the New York Rail- ways Company. About 7,500 em- ployes of this company and of the Third Avenue Railway system are af- fected by the settlement agreed upon yesterday by the directors and officials and the men after conferences with Mayor Mitchell.
 Under the terms of the agreement of the right of the employees to or ganize is conceded and the two com panies promised to treat with com- mittees of their employees in consid- ering grievances. A demand for in- creased wages will be discussed by committees not later than August 30 and if they fail of the agreement, the controversy will be submitted to 
 Strikes by employees of the Second Avenue, Queens and Staten Island street railway systems have not yet been adjusted but the men believe they would be granted concessions similar to those given 'the other lines.

Outfghts Assailant
 Armed With a Billy

Struck on the head with a brass billy w1elded by Vincent Szepprsy of 545 Bostwick avenue, Gustave Pappy of 416 Bostwick avenue suffered a dislocated jaw last night, when his assailant's billy struck him on tho side of the face instead of, on the top of the head. He ayers however that Szepprsy though armed did not get the best of him and that he held
 his own by using his bare fists.
 Szeppfsy disappeared after the fight and could not be located this morning but was arrested this afternoon at the West End plant of the Crane Co. by Special Policeman Zsenyheji He is charged with assault with intent to
 kill.
 Pappy and his brother Andrew had
 been to a wedding in another section of the West End last night and when the festivities were over, decided to walk home. They say that as they were walking quietly along and near ing their homes. Szepprsy, who had been sitting on his front door steps, came out upon the sidewalk and with out any ado, swung at Gustave with the billy, which weighs several pounds.
 Gustive jerked his head as Szepprsy swung and the brass ball struck him in the side Of the face, dislocating the jaw. Undaunted by his injury he fought back and he claims to have been getting the better Of the argu- ment when his antagonist took to his heels. dropping the weapon in his flight

Compensation Seeker
 Requires Policeman To
 Keep Him From Trouble

Policing the compensation court of Bridgeport was resorted to today for what is believed the first time since the compensation law was adopted.
 Though no provision has been made by the statutes for the establishment of a court officer, the local department at once responded to a call from Com missioner Edward T.. Buckingham when the case of Samuel Pressman vs. the Bridgeport Screw Go. was be- ing heard today.
 The request culmfnated from . se- ries of unpleasant experiences suffer. ed by the commissioner at the hands of the young man, whose mind has been seriously affected by his injury with the result that physicians feared violence might ensue.
 Evidence offered tended to show that young Pressman suffered an in- jury to the left knee on Dec. IT. Phy- sicians Haskell, Weldon and Curley testified that traumadc neurosis re- suited which affected the brain and will incapacitate him nartially from work.
 On several occasions when visiting the office of the compensation com mission Pressman showed such signs of violence that he had to be elected from the office. At hearing in tho probate court recently when his fa- ther. Harry .Pressman. was appointed guardian, his actions were such as to arouse the court.
 A During today's hearing he was re- strained from interruption of the pro- ceedings by policeman. A verdict of partial incapacity and compensa- tion for six years was rendered.

Ask Utilities Board
 To Compel Erection of
 New Depot in Elm City

New Haven, Aug. s-At meeting of the board of aldermen last night. it was unanimously voted to instruct the corporation counsel to ask the public utilities commission to compel the "New Haven" road to erect a new station in this city according to tho plans made some time ago or from new plans that would meet the ap- proval of the city enc ineers. The board wants this done instead of the road making temporary structures ..a4 would add neither beauty nor convenience to the approaches to the present station, and which. if the proposed temporary waiting rooms were erected, would take away two much-used streets. This action puts 1t directly up to the public utilities commission whether New Haven is to have new and much larger sta- tion-something that has been need- ed for several years here.

NAVAL PROGRAM OF US. MODEST IN EXTENT, SAYS
 NOTED BRITISH OFFICER
Admiral Cypran Bridge Declares That Slides in Panama Canal Are Factor in Increasing Size of Our Navy Return Fire is Best Armor Plate in Modern Warfare He Says, Discussing Lessons of Jutland Battle.

London, Aug. 8-The naval pro- gram of the United States is modest one in the opinion of Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, retired, one of Eng counsellors. Admiral Bridge was for merly commander-in-chi of the Australian forces and director of na- val intelligence. Since his retirement he has served on numerous commis- sions inquiring into various branches of naval activity.
 q cannot" said Admiral Bridge, regard the naval appropriation and the program agreed upon by the United States as more than modest considered in connection with your resources and requirements or when we remember that the strength of the police force should be commensurate with the treasuries that tempt.
 ''The action of your government seems timely. I have been one of those who consider the Panama Canal as an even greater asset for defensive purposes than for commercial ad- vantage and I believe that a larger naval program for your country cer- tainly is justified by the inability to place perfect confidence in the canals availability on account of slides now and then. I refer, of course, to the emergency of transferring your ships quickly from one side of your conti- nent to the other in case of attack, bearing in mind the wisdom of your being able to concentrate on both sides, until the problem of slides has been definitely solved, enough naval strength to meet any attack. It ap- pears that your naval experts have duly considered this point in making provision for 157 additional ships, in cluding 16 capital ships in a program to be completed within the next three years.
 T think it was in about 1907 or 1908 that your country attained to second place as sea power after pre- ceding neck and neck with Germany and France. respectively, for 8 num- Der of years. Then the United States seemed to lose ground and fell be- hind Germany. It must, therefore, be a wise precattion for you to plan now on such a wholesome scale.
 Notwithstanding some divergence of opinion on the subject, think that it is quite safe to say that the lessons of naval engagements in the war have justified the generally accepted di- vision into classes of fighting craft battieships, heavy and light cruisers, destroyers and, perhaps, submarines
 T use the qualifying word with reference to submarine because. in my opinion, the submarine has not proved a very important fighting factor dur ing the present war. Perhaps con- trary to popular impression, the sub- marine has affected only to very slight degree the tonnage available for the maritime purposes of the en- tente. Notwithstanding this fact, the possibility of the development of the submarine must not be left out of ac- count.
 Tt would accordingly seem wise to consider very carefully whether the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-08

i huge dimensions of the latest capital ships are compatible with the possible employment in the near future of high ly developed submarines.
 "I understand it is now possible to control the fire of ships in groups, a fact not considered possible a few years ago. The belief in it's impossi- bility was the reason for the concen- tration of so many guns of huge cali bre in a single ship, thus necessitat- ing mammoth displacements. If the fire of groups of ships can be satisfac- toryily controlled, that reason conse- quently no longer exists.
 "The size and power of the individ- ual guns, therefore, need not be re- duced and if the same calibres are retained somewhat smaller ships might each carry a reduced number of guns The number of guns of any desired calibre in fleet might remain the same as the number of ships could be increased.
 "The possibility of the fire control of ships in groups does away with the supposed necessity of putting very heavy increasing displacements and of- fering, consequently, an easier target for the torpedo. My point is the well recognized one that what is to be ef- fected in a fight is the concentrated volume of fire which is said to be pos sible now without the close concen- tration of the guns themselves.
 Coming to the lesson of the battle of Jutland, the most striking result to my mind was that the guns and not the torpedoes were, generally speaking, the weapons that told. It is also of remarkable interest to note the con- siderable period during which our ships were in action without being very seriously damaged, by the German fire, which seems to confirm Admiral Far agut's dictum that the best armor is the return fire. Of our ships the MarI- borough was the only one that suffered from torpedo attack and she kept fighting, and made out so we'll that she was able to return to her base at 21 knots. What the actual German losses were by torpedoes we do not know definitely, though our destroyers were dashing forward to the foe constantly during the engagement and they must have been effective in several in- stances. The point is that it was a gun battle.
 ''In addition to the classes of ships mentioned, take it that your appro- priation will cover the construction of special craft, such as mother seaplane ships, mine layers and hospital ships. and possibly even naval co1liers., Con- sidering the large number of ship building yards at your disposal, it would seem plausible that you could. without inconvenience. turn out the 16 capital ships referred to in your pro- gram in the specified time. And if the 16 could be finished, as stated, there seems little grouna to fear but what in the three years the other vessels called for could be completed. As to the guns. it would appear that they would be the least pressing portion of your problem, though they will have to proceed in taking form even more rapidly"
