DEATH OF KAISER
 SOLUTION OF WAR
 SAYS DIR. BRADY

The annual dinner of the Mems club of Christ church, held in the parish hall last night was we'll attended and an interested audience listened to the remarks made by Rev. Cyrus Towns end Brady, LID, on Patriotism. ''
 Dr. Brady in surveying his audience said that he saw faces there last night which he felt positive if he ever returned to Bridgeport again would not be tEere, for they were go- ing to war. It was expected that they would go to war for their coun- try which was fighting for something more noble than mere gain.
 He advocated the sending q large army corps into France because of the influence it would have in re- ducing the length of the supreme struggle but he told his auditors that they need not look for a short war and that it would require the money. the time and the sacrifice of all the people. <
 The death of the Kaiser, in his could possibly terminate the war soon, when the German people would repu- diate the Hohenzollerns.
 This country is going into the war not only for the purpose of putting a stop to the depredations which have been aimed at us, not to make Ger many think in the terms of the Unit ed States, but to make 1t think in the terms of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God"

 The thrifty citizen doesn't have to wait 27 years to get his Bridgeport bank and it doesn't have to give 25 per cent of it's earning power to phlanthropsts

In an article in Golfers Weekly friend of General Philippe Petain, the new French chief of staff, was quoted as follows in describing the man who will command all the armies of the allies in western Europe:
 ''They say he resembles Kitchener. Business is business with Petain. He hates hot air. and he can be as silent as the Sphinx. I see little resem- bIance in him to Kitchener. Also they say that he resembles Nietzsche and has soul of iron. I utterly fail to see the resemblance and behind his frigid exterior there is heart, as many of us can testify personally.
 "Of course there is a distinct line between him and his officers. We are here, and he is there. He IS very generous with his invitations to dine and sociable and friendly, but when time comes discipline is discip- line, can assure you. And that re- minds me, see they say that Peta1n walks among his soldiers and talks to them More nonsense. Against all his principles. He addresses himself to his officers and holds them abso- lutely responsible"

BRIDGEPORT FRUIT & VEGETABLE
 GROWERS ASS0 CLAYTON MEETS
 TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE SHORTAGE
Draw Up Resolutions Urging Establishment of Public Markets in Bridgeport and Minimum Price for Ger tain Produce Will Send Representative to Wash ington.

Twenty-Five representative fruit and vegetable growers of Bridgeport and vicinity under the auspices of their association met at 109 Wall street last night to discuss the situation that con- fronts them during the coming sea- son.
 They adopted resolutions to co-op- crate with other growers in seeking maximum crops, urged care in the pro auction of grain crops and the estab- Hshment of public markets in Bridge port, and demanded a minimum price for certain crops.
 It was voted to send William H. Burr of Greens Farms to Washing ton to confer with the secretary of agriculture and request that a mini mum price of $1.5O per bushe1 should be fixed for the sale of potatoes this fall
 During the meeting expression of fear arose as to the fate of live stock next winter. It was thought by some that with all attention devoted to gar den products the grain and hay SUD- ply would be neglected with the neces- sity of killing meat producing animals next winter. It was also recommend ed that chickens and pigs be raised in- creasingly this, summer as the cheap est form of meat, which will be much needed. The attitude of the city ad- ministration in failing to cooperate with the farmers was deprecated up- on report of the police attitude as displayed towards the farmers mar ket at Wall and Water streets. Prom inent at the meeting last night were Timothy Ryan of Stratford, president of the association; W. H. Burr, Greens Farms: Herbert Beers, Greens Farms George Meachen, Stratford; H. w Sniff;n, Stratford; William Dorsey Fairfield, and George Jennings, South port.

 .In every conflict in which our country has been engaged, the yeo- man has always loyalty supported the right. It is with great satisfaction that the American farmer recognizes that his services and crops are ap- preciated throughout the world, and we are confident a bountiful harvest will feed the hungry and dispel all fears of famine.
 That the desired result may be ac- complished, we will o-operate to the
 fullest extent with other growers and seek to produce maximum crops. We would recommend that all winter grains showing weak or poor stands, receive additional fertilization, and that the present planting for the var ious crops be insured as far as possi- ible by careful seed selection and soil preparation. ITO develop more general interest ir extensive agriculture and gardening and to prevent a gross waste of time and money, men in every town Witf wide experience and marked success in growing crops, should be selected to encourage increased food produc- tion.
 That the interests of the grower and consumer be permanently con- served, and cordial relations estab- lished and maintained, public markets should have a place in every city l where grower and consumer could meet and the fresh fruit and vegeta- bles be economically handled and thus more rapidly reach the purchasers ta- ble.
