CONNORS' BUSINESS DEMANDS OPENING
 OF SECOND STORE
West End Location Will Give Many Patrons I'm
 proved Service.

Having established business here at 1154 Main street, that has out grown one store for the sale of cloth ing and men's furnishings, J. w. Connors is to open a second store here at 1870 State street, the former location of Vincent Bros. grocery store. This store under the hands of many mechanics is being transformed rapidly into a depot suitable to carry the same exclusive stock of mems high grade clothing and furnishings by which the Connors trade has been built up to the volume which re- quires a branch store for its West End patrons.
 Eleven months ago the doors of the U. w. Connors mems furnishing and clothing store, were open to the pub lie of Bridgeport. Unknown in this city, unheralded by men who have now become adherents to the House |of Connors," J. W. Connors started business in Main street with the one prevailing idea in mind that men want what they want when they want it." Through the carrying out of these endeavors, through the fact that the best in mems wear must be always carried in stock and sold at prices that are indeed reasonable, and through the pleasing personality of the clerks and Mir. Connors himself, the trade has grown in size with great strides.
 The lines in the new store will be up to the minute. high in values yet with the same reasonable prices pre- vailing. The store is being fitted up in an elegant manner. All mahogany trimmed, the fixtures to match, large mirrors, and many innovations that will be appreciated by the trade. it can be safely stated that this store will be one of the most attractive in the West End. Another important feature will be the. added line of mems hats and caps.
 It will be under the, capable man. agement of Albert Altschul, formerly with several of the larger New York stores and later employed as fur nishing buyer for MT. Connors. The vacancy in the Main street store will be filled by Jack Lawton of Hartford.
 The same good service that has been enjoyed bys customers at the old store will be infused into the new one. This has been one of foremost reasons for MT. Connor's phenomenal success. Service. f1rst-service. last service at all times. This important fact and high values reasonably priced have earned the trade that MT. Connors now enjoys.
 MT. Connors is "a member of the Elks and Knights of Columbus. He is an influential young business man, is respected and has gained a prestige among those with whom he has had dealings.
 The word 'Connorized" is a new slogan carried with mems wear at the store. "Connorized" symbolizes three distinctive merits: Better mems clothing; Better Values and Better Service.

SLAMS on the DnieSter will be
repetition OF an old struggle be-

region. The Turks, in the course
Of their whirlwind Eruption west
ward, were masters on the Dnles-
ter III ~he ~.S11S12. In that
year the defeateG S1tan Mahmud
II. surrendered the territory BE-
tween the Dniester and the Pruth
TO Russia. That cession Of terri
tory brought Russia to the from

(now the kingdom Of Roumania)
and marked the beginning Of Rus
sian intervention into Turkish af-
fairs which eliminated in the at
tempted domination over Turkey
that precipitated the Crimean war
In 1886.
In that war Russia was pitted
against Great Britain, France and
Sardinia (the nucleus OF modern

The alignment of Russia with
these countries in the present
struggle is a reversal OF the YER

This grouping Of powers, like
the return Of the Turks 10 Hun

the fact that alliances or disrup-

The appearance Of Turkish
troops on the Hungarian front OF
the worlds lar-flung battle line is
one OF the most extraordinary
events of this unparalleled war.
There are two dates that stand
out as towering landmarks in the
history of Hungary. In 1926, after
prOdigies of valor. the Hungarian
chivalry was shattered BY the
Turkish hordes at the little town
OF Mohacs pronounced Mohatch)
in Hungary, and the Hungarian
King Louis fell In battle. NohacS
WAS the forerunner Of the COM
plete conquest Of Hungary by the
Turks. The fms TO this domina-
ton was written in Ills BY Prince
Eugene, who in that year append
ed his signature TO the treaty OF
Passarowitz (Slavic Pozharevatz)
Under the terms Of that treaty the
Turks withdrew south of the Dan.
ube. and definitely relinQuished
their dream OF mastery in western
Europe which In 1859 had carried
them 10 the walls of Vienna.
The interval between Mohacs
and PasSarovitZ is one long battle
between Hungarians and Tur Aa.
And now the Turks are Back
in Hungary, welcomed and ap-
plauded by their old enemies as
friends and allies. In their new
role as allies Of great Christian
nations, the Turks will fight Shout
der to shoulder with another enc
my.race. They will be the com.
rades-in-arms Of the Polish Lee
gion. the descendants OF the same
Poles who, under the generalshiD
Of King Sobieski, inflicted upon
the Turks the crushing defeat be-
fore Vienna in 1853. This defeat
marked the beginning Of the re-
ceding tide Of Ottoman invasion
in Europe.
So much for the assumption
that nations, like individuals, cher.
ish loves and hatreds as the basis
Of policies and Of action!
The appearance OF the Turks
in Hungary. like most of the ALI
anceS and combinations that have
bewildered the casual observer
since this war began, is due 10 a
community Of interests. The Hun
garians dread a Russian invasion
only as they dreaded the Turkish
invasion in the sixteenth century.
II is to meet this attempted invas-
ion that Austria Hungary has call
ed upon Turkey for aid. And the re-
Spouse of the Turkish government

strong prepossessions of the Cen
trail Powers in the operations as a
whole-the convictions that the re-
suits achieved by Russia in Asia
Minor, including The conquest of
Turkish Armenia, are e temporary
