Disclosing the fact that Bridgeport
to Gate has expended more than
$50,0Ca in Red Cross work for the
government, in addition to the money
raised and sent to the national or
ganization for the War Fund, the
annual report Of Frank r. Staples,
treasurer OF Bridgeport, Connecticut,
Chapter, American Red Cross, has
been submitted and approved.
In one department alone-that of
filitsry r:elief-the Bridgeport Red
Cross in less than one year has ex-
pended s45.787.s2 in the purchase u
raw materials, which IN turn have
been made into useful bandages, lin
ems, knitted goods, etc, by the vol
women about the city.
TT would be impossible to estimate
the value Of this" said Treasurer sta
pies. in commenting on this feature
Of the report; ..but the money, to be-
gin with, bought our raw materials
practically at cost, through the pur-
chasing power Of the Red Cross
Then, with the enormous amount OF
volunteer work done upon these raw
materials by the women Of Bridge
port, the value Of the completed arti-
cles shipped by our chapter to the
American soldiers abroad and in
camp, and to the soldiers of our AL
lies, must have amounted to hum
dreds of thousands OF dollars"

SayS Sin1ple Remedy
 Prolonged His Lite
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Effective as a Remedy
 for COnstipatiOn.

Among the older people the various organs of the body have a tendency to slow up and weaken, and this is usu- ally first manifest in pronounced in- activity of the bowels.
 Good health is dependent on reg ularity in this important function; whenever there is the slightest indi- cation of constipation a mild laxative should be taken to relieve the conges- tion and dispose of the accumulated waste. Cathartlcs or purgatives should not be employed, however; these are too violent in action and their effect is only temporary.
 A mild laxative such as the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell's Sy- rup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy It is gentle in it's action, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner, without gripping or other pain or discomfort is pleasant to the taste, and can be obtained in any drug store. O5
 MT. Robert LeForgee, 918 Kirkwood Boulevard. Davenport. Iowa, says he has always had a bottle of Dr. Cald. wells Syrup of Pepsin in the house 10, the past eighteen years, and that by using it ccasionally as the need arises and in this way keeping his healtf

Ottoman Empire which has proved itself so radically alien to western civilization. ..e The intentions of His Majesty, the Emperor of Russia regarding Poland have been clearly indicated in the pro- clam tion which he has just addressed to his armies. It goes without saying that if the Allies wish to liberate Europe from the brutal covetousness of Prussian militarism it never has been their de- sign, as has been alleged, to encom- 1 pass tie cXtermination of the German l peoples ana their political disappear ance. That. which they desire above all is to insure peace upon the principles of liberty and justice, upon the inviolable fidelity to international obligation with which the Govern ment of the United States has never ceased to be inspired.
 United in the pursuits of this su- preme object, the Allies are deter mined, individually and collectively, to act with all their power and to consent to all sacrifices to bring to a victorious close the conflict upon which they are convinced not only their own safety and prosperity de- pend, but also the future of civiliza- tion itself.
 Separate Reply of Belgium.
 The translation of the Belgian note, which was handed to Ambassador Sharp with the Entente reply, fol- lows:
 The government of the king, which
 
 handed by the president of the French council to the American am bassador on behalf of all, is par ticularly desirous of paying tribute to the sentiment of humanity which prompted the President of the United States to send his note to the bellig- erent powers and it highly esteems the friendship expressed for Belgium through his kindly intermediation. It desires as much as MT. Woodrow Will son to see the present war ended as early as possible.
 But the president seems to believe that the statesmen of the two oppos- ing camps pursue the same objects of war. The example of Belgium un- fortunately demonstrates that this Is in 10 wise the fact. Belgium has never like the Central powers, aimed at conquests The barbarous fashion in which the German government has treated, and is. still treating, the Bel gian nation, does not permit the sup position that Germany will preoccupy herself with guaranteeing in the fu- ture the rights of the weak nations which she has not ceased to trample under foot since the war. let loose by her, began to desolate Europe. On the other hand, the government of the king has noted with pleasure and with confidence the assurances that the United States is impatient to CO., operate in the measures which will

ately desires that an end be brougR to the unprecedented sufferings of hlE population. But she could only ac- cept a peace which would assure hSrs as we'll as equita ble reparation, se- curity and guarantees for the futures
 The American people, since the be- ginning of the war, has manifested for the oppressed Belgian nation it's most ardent sympathy. 1t is an American committee, the Commissio4 for Relief in. Belgium, which, n sc1oSA 4 asa3esS.4u .4usAtlas1 the hesgoyernnent tf the lkirR and the national conmittd displays an untiring devotion aH ;snarvellous activity in revictualli4g Belgium. The government of tAe king is happy. to avail itself of tha opportunity to express it's profou1
 gratitude to the commission for n
 lief as we'll as to the generous AmeX icanss eager to relieve the misery
 the Belgian population. Finally, n4 where more than in the United Statt have the abdhctions and, deportation of Belgian civilians provoked such
 spontaneous movement of protesta ton and indignant reproof
 These facts, entirely to the hong of the American nation, allow tn government of the king to entertaiN the legitimate hope that at the tim1 of the definite settlement of this lonl war the voice of the Entente Powers will find in the United States a unani- nous echo to claim in favor of the Belgian nation, innocent victim sof German ambition and covetousneSs, the rank and the place which its IT, reproachable past, the valor of its sol diers, its fidelity to honor and it's remarkable faculties for work as1 signed to it among the civilized na5 tions.

BOY SCOUT NEWS

At the close of the first week of the membership campaign, Troop of the First church leads the field with twelve new recruits. In all thirty three new members have been added so far and indications point towards all even better showing in the weeks to come. The present troop standing
 is as follows:
 Troop 4-Center-12.
 Troop 9-Baptist-9.
 Troop 10-Jewish-4.
 Troop 3-Methodist-3.

 Troop l2-St Marks-2. Troop 1-Y. M. c. Al. Total-33.
 The seven leaders in the list of in- dividual records who have already secured two or more members are as follows: Howard Mitchell (Troop D Harry Bradbury (Troop 3 3; Sidney Martin (Troop 9 8; D. M. Bell (Troop 23 2; Bertram Corcoran (Troop 12) 2; Dudley Felt (Troop 9 2; Russell Elliott (Troop A 2. Sixteen other scouts have enlisted one each. The committee in charge wishes to em- l phasize one rule that was not closely followed during the first weeks re- l. .. in must have written on the back the
 name of the scout responsible for the enlistment. This is important in com piling the individual records, and several names were held over in the first count as given above on account of the disregard of this rule. In connection with the regular meeting next Monday evening, Troop s will entertain prospective members with scout games and refreshments at their meeting room in the South church.
 At the regular meeting of Troop 12 on Tuesday evening, tickets for the minstrel show to be given the last ol this month were distributed. The members who are now preparing tc take part in the show are: Scouts Hellberg, Mitchell, Jackson, Keehner, Barnes, Barrett, Banner, Illingworth. The troop will hike to Plainville pond again tomorrow afternoon leaving the church promptly at 1:15. Twenty -four Scouts attended a very enthusiastic meeting of Troop 10 on Tuesday evening. With the election of four new members: Hyman Wiener, Charles Le11erer, Isadore Koplowitz and Percy Halpren, the enrolment of the troop now totals 30. On Sunday morning the members have been asked to report at headquarters to set up their new tents for inspection.

 Duties of Neutrality Fulfilled.
 Previous to the German ultimatum Belgium only aspired to live upon good terms with all her neighbors. She practised with scrupulous loyal ty toward each one of them the duties imposed by her neutrality. In the same manner she has been rewarded by Germany for the confidence she placed in her, through which, from one day to the other, without any plausible reason, her neutrality was violated, and the chancellor of the empire when announcing to the Reichstag this violation of right and of treaties was obliged to recognize the iniquity of such an act and pre- determine that it would be repaired. But the Germans, after the occupa- ton of Belgian territory, have dis played no better observance of the rules of international law or the stipulations of the Hague convention. They have by taxaton as heavy as it is arbitrary drained the resources of the. country; they have Intentionally ruined it's industies, destroyed whole cities, put to death and imprisoned a considerable number of inhabitants. Even now, while they are loudly pro- claiming their desire to put an end to the horrors of war. they increase the rigors of the occupation by de- porting into servitude Belgian work CTS by the thousands.

Arbuckle Renders Decision.

by the act OF the recent Legislature
abolishing Equalization Boards the
power OF passing on appeals OF prop
erty holders from the action Of tax as
SCISSORS is in the hands OF county
Judges, according to an opinion OF At
torney General John d. Arbuckle' re-
ouested by County Judge Lee Miles
and received by him
Mr. Arbuckle holds that any error
or injustice may be corrected by the
county judge, provided the aggrieyed
person shall file his petition with the
court during the term next succeeding
the assessment. No appeal filed after
the adjournment OF the term OF court
may be allowed and no petition for
adjustment may be entertained after
the fourth Wednesday in October OF
any year.
Another question passed upon by
the attorney relates to the payment OF
tax upon property destroyed by fire
Immediately and before the time when
payment Of taxes should be made. The
attorney general holds that the tax
must be paid, as the assessment is
made upon the state Of the property
az the time Of assessment and not for
future periods
The attorney general also holds that
no assessor has the power to change
his assessments after they have been
turned in, even though error is dis
covered. In such case the tax must
be paid, but the property holder may
go before the County Court and sub
NIT proof, which, if satisfactory, the
court may issue an order for the re-
funding of the tax found to be IN
error
