Monday evening the Mems club of the
Memorial Baptist church entertained
their friends in the church parlors.
President Thomas gave talk on his ex-
periences as Chaplain of the first YER
mont Infantry last summer. He de-
scribed the trip to the border, the
erection of the camp and laid great
stress upon the good sanitary condi-
tions of the camp, the health of the
men and the food provided. He stated
that during his connection with the
regiment he endeavored to raise the
men to higher moral plane.
President Thomas spoke of the dim
inutive size of the expedition sent to
Texas as compared with the number of
troops which would probably be raised
in case the break between this country
and Germany results in war.

PLAZA

'sThe Big Show" opens at the Plaza today and there is much interest cen tered in the event. A three-feature program, such as has never been heard of in the annals of Bridgeport's theatrical history has been arranged as drawing card for capacity audi ences during the latter half of the week commencing wit11t matinee today.
 Anita Stewart. the darling of the screen, in ''The Message of the Mouse," wonderfully dramatic pro duction based upon 8 supposed sum- mary of conditions existent after the present war is one of the attractions.
 Anita Stewards work is too well known and liked to need espousing in these columns and it is said that 'The Message of the Mouse" is one of her greatest accomplishments for the silent drama.
 Another feature is the first three episodes of ''The Fatal Ring" the new rathe serial in which. Pearl White is being starred. The Fatal Ring is being handled in story form by some of the leading publications of the country and it is a succession of thrills that holds you spellbound
 The fourth installment of '"The Battle of the Somme" series will also be shown and a beautiful musical score, appropriate to the action of the various features will be offered

RED CROSS ONLY
 RELIEF MEDIUM
 AFTER SEPT. 1ST
Independent War Charities Must Then Act Through
 Red Cross.

New York, July 26-The Red Cross committee on cooperation will treat separately with each of the indepen- dent war relief organizations for coll lecting and forwarding supplies to Europe, according to an announce 'ment today, because of the inability of the federal council of the Allied War Relief Charities to reach an agreement with the international so- ciety This announcement was made by Judge Robert s. Lovett, chairman of the Red Cross committee on CO., operation, who added that in less than six weeks all avenues of distrt- button of war relief through the American clearing house in Paris would be closed to all organizations except the Red Cross.
 Judge Lovett explained that be- cause of the lack of transportation facilities abroad the Paris agency had been forced to limit the distribution in this way and could not accept spe- cia1 small shipments for interior hos- pitfalls in France at any special mo- ment after Sept. 1. H Judge Lovett further explained that the Red Cross was not attempting to establish a charity monopoly but called atten- ton to the fact that there was liable to be a great demand for cargo space and that those who could not com mand it, or pay for it, might find considerable difficulty in continuing their work

German Lines Are
 Not Impregnable

Washington, July 26-Secretary Baker issued the following statement last night through the Committee on Public Information:
 In one of the morning newspapers members of the party of officers just returned from France are credited with an expression of opinion to the e1ect that the German line on the Western front in Europe Is impreg- nable. have succeeded in reaching all the members of this military mis- sion, and am assured that no one of them has expressed such an opinion, either to a newspaper man or to anybody else, Including his own asso- ciates on the mission The alleged expression, therefore. is wholly with out foundation.
 The members of the military mis- sion were sent abroad to study tech- nical questions. They were accorded the fullest opportunity by both the British and French governments to complete their study and were given opportunity to observe actual condi- tions at the front /The mission is unanimous in it's praise of the splen- did morale of the Allied forces on the Western front, and while it shares the general realization of the gravity of this war, it returned without any pessimistic opinion whatever as to the final outcome.

POLI'S

Polls theatre has an enormous act, taken directy from the Desert of Sahara this week. The Allied Sons of the Desert, including 25 whirling Dervishs, dancers, and magical per- formers. It is without doubt the largest and best act of it's kind ever placed in vaudeville and gives pan- oramic illustration of the feats per- formed by these husky sons, of the desert in their natural cline.
 Another stirring feature of the Poli show will be the screen produc- tion known as ''to Honor and Obey" which is a gripping domestic drama offering to the view of the public many interesting problems between man and woman. Miss Gladys BrockweI has been secured to take the lead in this big five-part drama and it is needless to say that because of her immense popularity it is a photodramatic offering worthy of her name Women will be keen for such a picture and men cannot fail in interest
 Of particular interest to every red
 blooded American is the faithful record of Pershing's doings in France which are permitted to be sent to this country in pictorial form by the censors abroad. Specially taken for the Hearst Pathe news ser
 vice by. French official army staff photographers the American boys are shown in many new and novel situa- tions.

What the army Y. M. c. A. is do- ing for the boys at the front is told in the following letter to his home town paper, the Marshalltown Times Republican.
 T was reading with pride the list of Marshalltowns contributors to the Army Y. M. c. A. fund in the T.-R. today. am glad to know that my home town is doing her bit. Oh, people of Marshalltown understand what the .'Y." means to us here. It solves the question of where is the soldier to spend his leisure time?" I am writing this letter here in the "Y.'' The stationery is furnished us free of charge. We have reading material of all kinds, yictrolas, pianos and also various musical instruments at our disposal I don't see how we could do without the i'tY." here at camp. There are about 1000 college men here now, and more are expect ed. It is a wonderful sight to see that many college men in bunch. The big problem for the "Y.'' is to keep this splendid body of men clean. Not long ago a regiment of regulars was encamped here. As you know there is that undesirable class of wo-
 men that always follow army camps. The women that are here now are diseased just wish people knew the | truth about such matters. You see what we are up against Recreation 1 must be supplied for the boys or they will seek outside pleasures. The "Y' {; is doing that and the boys certainly l do appreciate it. I just thought I :, would let you know what Godsend the "Y' was to us. A few dollars l put into the army "Y' now may save

WAR SOLE TOPIC OF JAP MISSION
 TO THIS NATION
Envoys Won't Discuss Ac- tion of U. s. in China's
 Affairs.

Toluo, July 26.-viscount Kikujiro Ishii and other Japanese. speaking have laid stress on the point that the forthcoming visit of the Ishi3 mission to the United States has no relation to the recent action of the American government in sending a note to China. The mission is solely connected with teh opera tions of the war, it is explained
 The idea. of the missions creation came into being long before the inci- dent over the American note and ne- gotiations concerning it were practi- cally concluded before the note was made public. If political questions concerning China and the Far East generally are discussed with the Ishii mission at Washington they will arise incidentally.
 to the Washington government Ja- pans willingness and readiness to substitute Japanese warships for the American naval force now in the. Pa- cific ocean, including those making up the Asiatic fleet, with headquarters at Manila The underlying idea is that Japan taking up the task of, protect ing American territory and interests in the Pacific the American fleet would be free for transfer to the Atlantic ocean. where it would be more useful. Also the envoy will discuss in a con crete way a project of practical CO operation with the United States gov ernment in the matter of furnishins ammunition and general war supplies to the Entente iAllies.

 tion in China which is based on con.
 alterations of racial similarity. geo. graphical proximity and s secononni, rapprochement
 It is recognized, however, that the United States, free of foreign aJli ances. is in a totally different position from England and France, and tha at is a veny great step to ask her tt abandon her prerogative of independ ent action in China and substitute <
