SUEY HOUSE TO BE IN PLACE OF
 CARES CABARET
Chinese American Restaur- ant Will Supplant One
 Now In Cannon St.

Negotiations are now pending for the sale of Carr's restaurant and cab aret at Cannon and Broad streets, one of the most famous eating places in the city of Bridgeport.
 The new owner, if present plans are completed, which need but the sigma lures of the parties, will be Leon Shew. in Bridgeport and elsewhere in Con- necticut.
 With the passing of the cabaret, which is understood to have been ob- jectionab1e to the trustees of Trinity Episcopal church, and which recently resulted in a remonstrance against the sale of liquor there, will come a high class Oriental restaurant.
 Leon Shew, who has associated with him as walters and assistants gradu- ates of American colleges and students in the upper branches of science, will conduct what is known as an "Ameri- can-OrientaP' dining room. The place will be fitted in sumptuAus Chinese hangings and will provide, to both foreign and domestic cuisine.
 Mrs. Thomas Carr, the reputed own- CT of the restaurant, will pass from ac- tive business management but Thoma as J. Carr will still retain the cafe on the ground floor. No liquor will be sold in the restaurant above.
 Those familiar with the recent re- monstrance before the county com missioners assert that with the passing of the cabaret feature from the vicin- ity of Trinity church, that body will be satisfied that the liquor license re- main as heretofore without objection.
 The Carr restaurant, which has made itself famous throughout the state. has been established for number of years, and during the last three years has maintained a cabaret as an attrac- tion program.

 She carried general cargo, includ- ing munitions for the British gov ernment and was armed astern with AT inch gun. Vessel and cargo were valued at $1,500,000.
 While declining to give the source of their information, Warren line of ficials said they were satisfied that the vessel had been sunk. They ex- plained that the delay in reporting her loss probably was due to an ad- miralty ruling under which the list of

Five Carloads of
 Steel Arrive For
 Use in Bridge Work

Five carloads of steel which is to be used in the new Stratford avenue bridge arrived here today and nine more are on the way from Beaver Falls, Pa. The delay in forwarding this steel has occasioned a suspension of operations at the bridge for two weeks.
 Engineer Wolff, representing Hol- brook, Cabot & Rollins, said today that work would be resumed as quick ly as the railroad delivered material here. If the material arrives in time he hopes to have the north side of the bridge open to travel by April 15.

The railroad managers entered the conference today with the declara- ton that they would make no bargains until the supreme court had ruled on the constitutionality of the Adam son law. The brotherhoods insist that the provisions of the Adamson law be put into effect at once as of Jan. 1 They demand 10 hours pay for eight hours work and pro rata pay for all overtime. The important difference between these demands and those submitted last December when the railroad situation first reached a crisis is that the latter called for time and a half pay for overtime work.
 The position of the employees when the conference opened was that if these demands were not granted a strike would begin next Saturday night and extend through the country with. in the next three days.

Copenhagen, March 16-The de. tention of two AmAricans in Germany. one of whom. at least apparently is classed by the German authorities as belligerent here.
 James Moore, an American member of the crew of the unarmed Norwe- gian ship Storskog, which was sunk by German submarine, is held in an internment camp together with three Russians and one British subject who were also members of the Storskog's crew. The Norwegians and Danes who formed the balance of the ships company have been released.

 The significance of Moore'r case is that he has been subjected to the same treatment as captured belliger- ents while all other neutrals who were on board the Storskog have been per- mitted to leave Germany.
 MT. Henning was sent from Chicago during the war to. fill a vacancy on the Berlin staff which had been de- pleted by the mobilization of German employees. He had not left Germany since his arrival and applied for per- mission to return to the United States after the rupture of relations. His application had been submitted for some time when the war office tele- phoned the Radiator companys office and inquired whether MT. Henning held a respo- sble position.

SWEDEN GETS REPORT.
 Stockholm, Wednesday, March T 4 by way of Berlin and wireless to the Associated Press via Tuckerton, N. J. of serious uprising in Rus sia are published in the Swedish press. The Tidnigsl publishes a state ment that railroad bridge near Petrograd has. been dynamited by in- surgents.
 The Nyhyeter. and Haparenda prints an interview with a Swedish business man who arrived in Petrograd on Sun day from Moscow. This man is re- ported as saying there had been open rebellion i'll many cities of Russia since Thursday of last week.
 Especially violent riots are reported to have occurred in Petrograd on Saturday, shops being stormed by mobs. According to this information. publication of newspapers was sus- pended and the authorities posted placards warning the people to re- main indoors to avoid danger.
 The Nyheter says that other travel. CTS from Petrograd report that simi- lar disturbances occurred there on Friday, that the soldiers were com. pelled to use their sabres and that many persons were wounded.
 Dispatches from Stockholm usually are sent by cable via London. In this instance the telegraph to Berlin and the wireless evidently were employed to avoid the British censorship.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
AT LOCAL EXCHANGE

H. H. Croll, district manager of the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. and A. C. Hill, manager Of
the Sterling exchange, were Jules
burg visitors yesterday, and we ac-
knowledge pleasant call from these
gentlemen. Mr.. Croll informed us
that his company will soon make some
improvements at the local exchange,
installing an addition to the switch
board, etc, to cope with the increas-
ing business of the company at this
place. Mr.. Croll further stated that
during the year 1917 the company's
business in Julesburg had increased
more than during the proceeding
five years. This is due to great ex-
tent on account of the rapid growth of
this community. We are glad to note
that the telephone company is to
make added Improvements at the local
exchange in order to give their pat
rons here the best of service, and the
company may be assured that our citi-
zens will give their cooperation in this
matter. Manager Adams of the local
exchange is deserving of credit in the
manner in which he is looking after
the affais of the company here, and
has recommended the improvements
mentioned above, to take care of the
larger amount of business.

GRIT BUSY ON
BIG CHRISTMAS EDITION

The Grit-Advocate's Christmas
New Years edition will be published
next week, and you can imagine that
this office is about the busiest place
in town right at this time. Copy for
the various features is stacked up
high and our big linotype machine is
kept busy day and night making
linotype" out of manuscript, which
will be put in print before another is
sue of this paper.
We hope you will like the edition
and assure you that we are glal 10 r.
member our readers in this W. by
giving them something little extra
at this time of the year as an appreci-
alton Of the splendid support we have
received since we took the manage
ment OF the paper, from the people of
this community as whole.
The edition will be brim full of in
teresting features, but there is no use
for us to go into details as we have
done this pretty thoroughly in our past
two issues-and then you will see it
all next week, so what's the use.
However, we are prone to state that
we believe the Grit-Advocate's Christ

RED CROSS WILL
MAKE Big DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS
Sedgwick County Chapter Is Pre-
pairing to Participate in the
Nationwide Drive for New
Members-December II to "a

During the week of December II to
"a, nationwide drive to increase the
Red Cross membership will ensue. The
Sedgwick County Chapter is planning
to participate enthusiastically in this
campaign, and it is hoped to greatly
increase the membership in this
county.
1t can be done and it must be done.
The need of the Red Cross is as es-
sential as the need of our army in
winning the way to world peace. Back
of the army, ready to administer to
the sick and wounded, this organiza-
tion performs service that is i'm
measurable. In the maelstrom of war,
when men are flying at each others
throats and all civilization seems tum-
bling in ruins the Red Cross contin-
ues to bear the torch that lights the
way back to humanitarian.
If we win the war, we must not
only send our soldiers to the battle
field, but we must maintain their
health and comfort insofar as is pos
sible under the chaotic conditions that
surround them. The sick, the wound
ed, the dying must be given every
possible comfort and alleviation and
the greatest measure of service in this
direction must come from systematic
rganization such as the Red Cross
society. observes.
If we win this war, we must bend
our efforts at home as we'll as in the
trenches. Our soldiers may strive on
the battlefields, but we must strive
here, or else our strike for world free
dom will be in vain. There is work
for every man, woman and child in
giving strength ard encouragement to
the men in the army, and in no better
way can this work be directed than by
augmenting the service of the Red
Cross.
Through the Red Cross our individ-
ual efforts can be made to count as in
no other way, and those of us who
realize the duty that devotes upon
US, and who are willing to serve our
country at home, will find waiting
channell as members of the Red Cross.
BY all means let us determine to at
tain a much larger membership in
Sedgwick county, and having attained
that membership, let US achieve rec
ord for practical results that shall be
surpassed by no other similar organi
zation.
When the great drive starts, be
ready to make your response without
hesitation. You should know too well
all that is needed and expected of you
to invite citation Of reasons as to why
you should enroll.

THE WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS
READY FOR YOU
War Savings Stamps Now Makes
II Possible for All to Aid Their
Country in Financial Way
Went Into Effect Last Wetk.

The sale of war savings stamps
went into effect last week, in accord
ance with the plan provided for in the
last bond act of Sept. "a, 1917. The
plan makes it possible for everybody
to render financial aid to the govern
mept at this crisis. The workings of
the plan, in outline, is as follows:
/ Stamps, which are the government s
certificates of Indebtedness, are to be
sold in two denominations--thr
war savings stamps which cost from
$4.l2 to $4.23 each, according to the
month in which they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the
purchaser is given thrift card with
spaces for sixteen stamps. When
sixteen thrift stamps have been pur-
chased and affixed the thrift card can
be exchanged for a war savings stamp
by paying the difference between the
81 the thrift stamps represent and the
which in December. 1917, and January,
1918, will be SAP, and thereafter
cent for each succeeding month during
the year 1918.
| With the first savings stamp OBJ
| tained by the purchase or exchange
the owner is given a war savings GER
tificate containing spaces for twenty
war savings stamps. If the twenty
spaces are filled during December,
| 1917, or January, 1918, the cost to the
purchaser will be SALE for each stamp,
or $S2.40 for the full certificate, and
on Jan. 1, 1923, the government will
redeem the certificate at 500, giving
the holder a net profit of $3.50 for
the use of his money.
Altho these investments do not ma
ture until Jan. I, 1923. provisions is
made whereby upon 10 days written
notice after Jan |. 1918, such certi-
ficatcs may be redeemed bp postmas-
ters at their cost to the purchaser plus
! cent month on each war savings
stamp on the certificate.
The thrift stamps do not bear in
terest, but the war savings stamps
bear per cent. compounded quarter
ly. The certificates will be dated Jan.
2. 1918, and mature Jan. /, 1928.
Under the plan an amount as small
as Is cents can be invested in a gov
ernment security, and as soon as 81
! has been thus invested an interest
bearing certificate of the United
States government can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can be
obtained from postoffices, banks, or
trust companies, at most railroad sta
/ tions, stores, factories, and many 9TH
er public places.
Having the entire wealth of the
United States back of them, and being
redeemable as above stated, there is
no danger of any depreciation in value
of the certificates.
