Once he hurt her SO seriously that
she had to go to a hospital. The

There seemed to be no doubt that
some communication had gone to Am
bassador Gerard. probably warning
him of the steps the United States
,, felt compelled to take and giving aim
an opportunity, however limited, to-
| make some arrangements to alleviate
the possible hardships G Ap1Hricans
information is that there are about
1900 there. Doubtless efforts would
be made to get them over the line into,
Holland or into some of the other ad-
jacent neutral countries.
The state department has made no
reply to the telegram from the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine, asking
instruction for movements Of Amer
1can ships. No announcement similar
to Germany's has been received from
Austria
From the official refusal to affirm or
deny that any message had gone for,
ward to Ambassador Gerard an i'm
preston grew, that some such mes
sage had been sent, but it was thought
at most message to outline first
preliminary statement of the Ameri-
can viewpoint without definitely COM
mitting the country till a final de-
cision has been reached.
1t was pointed out to officials that
the country was waiting for some
statement, or at least an official in
depreciation of the attitude of the ad-
ministration. Officials declined, how
ever, to express themselves in this
way or to say whether the situation
was becoming more or less serious.
While yesterday it was said fatty that
no announcement would be made for
the rest of the day, officials refused
today to commit themselves to aAsim-
liar announcement. \
The German embassy continued its
official silence. calmly prepared for
the break that Count Won Bernstorff
has said privately he expects. but
serenely confident that the German
governments action, irrespective or
the protests Of neutrals, will be the
winning factor of the war.
The Entente mbassies, fully ex-
pecting the United States to break
with Germany, seem to be confident
that the new campaign of ruthlessness
will be of little greater effectiveness
than the campaign which the Entente
governments contend the German
submarines have been waging all
along, despite the pledges given in
the Sussex note. A few more ships
may be sunk, they think, but they
expect the British navy to meet the
new attack successfully.
Whatever measures are being TAX
en- in the United States by the adj
ministratiOn to prepare the country

class power. which in history always
has been followed sooner or later by
war. are carried out secretly but with
expedition. 1t is officially denied
that any orders whatever have been
given to army, navy or coast guard,
but there are evidences that the agen-
cies of the government are ready to
take any steps necessary to follow a
diplomatic break.
It was generally expected that
some announcement would be made
from the state department or the
White House during the day or cer-
tainly tonight -

MACHINISTS TO
TAKE APPEAL TO
SUPREME COURT
Denial Of Motion to Set
Aside AIMS Verdict Paves
Way for Action.

A motion to set aside the $4,000
verdict awarded the Max AIMS Ma
chine Co. in the suit against the In
ternational Association Of Machinists.
Local 80, and others, was denied this
morning by Judge Bennett in the su-
perior. Attorneys Lavery and Fink

gued for the granting Of the motion
on the ground that the verdict Of the
jury was contrary. to the weight of
evidence They also claimed the
amount awarded was excessive.
The denial Of the motion paves the
way for an appeal to the supreme
court, which will be filed at once by
counsel for the union. The AIMS Co.

MAYOR WILSON WOULD TURN new
B. H. S. GYMNASIUM into PUBLIC
DANCE HALL AT MEETING TONIGHT

Mayor Wilson's pet hobby NUM-
cfpal dance hall, preferably the gym
nasium of the Bridgeport High school,
will be discussed this evening at a
joint meeting of the park commission
and the board of education to be held
at s. o'clock in the rooms of the school
board in the First Bridgeport Nationa.
Bank building. The mayor is expect
ed to be present and explain his plan
for the municipal dance hall. Most
of the members Of the board Of edu-
cation are opposed to using the gym
nasium of the High school for any
such purpose. They think the dances
there should bel restricted to- those
given by the students.
| The plan Of the mayor and a pro-
posed ordinance creating the recrea-
ton commission, taking the manage
ment of the city Fairgrounds out OF
the hands Of the park board and plac-
ing in them the control of the pro-
posed "play board will be discussed
at the meeting tonight. The ordinances
has already been drawn in connection
with a survey of the amusements OF
the city which the recreation board
has had made.
Although the mayor has not pub
lic1y designated the place and will not
until the meeting tonight, he believes
that dances can sbe conducted In the
High school gymnasium under proper
restriction. He believes that the
young people can be interested and
thus kept away from more harmful
amusements. After looking about the
city for a suitable location he has de-
cided on the gymnasium Of the High
school. The school board members
do not think the location Is proper
one for such dance hall.

low Mill park, West End and Lafay-
cite park and the park board has in
the works plans to establish two more
