MUST INCREASE
 MUNITION GUARD
 UNDER NEW RULE

Washington, Nov. 21 Private plants turning out war materials must provide sufficient guards around them at their own expense under the new orders to prevent ac- tivities of, enemy aliens. This was determined yesterday as conse- quence of President Wilson's procla- nation.
 Patrols of soldiers will be materi- ally strengthened at government navy yards. ship yards. arsenals and intuition plants.
 Regulations putting into effect the terms of the proclamation probably will be made public by Attorney Gem era1 Gregory the latter part of this week. John Lord O'Brien of Buffalo. special assistant to the Attorney Gen- eral, who is in immediate charge of the matter, is at work upon the rules.
 It is not the intention of the gov. ernment to revoke at present any permits issued to alien enemies turn-. ing out war materials for the gov- ernment.

Not Affected By Governments New
 Russian Embargo

That the government embargo, prohibiting the exportation of war supplies, arms and ammunition to Russia, will have no effect whatever upon the contracts held by the Rem ington Arms Co.,, in this city, and other war. plants elsewhere, is the belief prevailing in official munition circles today.
 The theory is that the embargo will last until such time as a stable Rus sian government has been establish ed. and when that time does come, there will be urgent need for the sup plies being manufactured in this coun- try. If the Bolsheviki gain control of the situation in that country, and pur- sue their peace policy. the embargo will remain in force permanently. in which case some change of program affecting American manufactures will be necessary.
 Up to the present, no instructions have been received by the Remington Arms company, requiring any change of conditions. the firm will in all probability continue in the work of completing its Russian contract.

HINDENBURG LINE CRlMpLES: BRITISH ADVANCE FIVE MILES
PREP AIRING LIST
 OF FOREIGNERS FOR ARMY DUTY

Members of the six division draft boards of this city are at work pre- pairing for the military authorities. and eventually for use by Congress, in formation as to nationality, occupa- ton, and other data of every man registered in the city of Bridgeport. This information is also to be furnish ed, so far as it applies, to the British Canadian Recruiting mission in New York-as guide to Great Britain of it's subjects in this country.
 Much of the information required by this work, which embraces all na- tionalities as well as British, is to be obtained from the military census which was taken in Bridgeport last spring. This census listed practically every man then in the city, and addi- tions to the list have since been made. Each man is ratedi as to his occupa- ton, birthplace, citizenship, and other information valuable to the military authorities. @
 Legislation is expected at the next session of Congress which will extend the operations of the draft to citizens of allied nations at least, and perhaps to all aliens except those of the ene- my.
 Judge F. A. Bartlett. clerk of the First division. board, said today that the work is now we'll along, and he expects 1t will be completed and ready to be turned over about November 26.

Joker RObS City Of
 Mone,y Il!
Salvage Profit Totalling Thousands of Dollars from Buildings Bought by City is Lost Because of Ordinance.

A little joker'' in the city's ordinance relative to the re- moval of buildings or obstruc- tions for street extensions has resulted in the city being mulcted out of thousands of dollars in the project of ex- tending John street from West avenue to Park avenue. The persons, who were paid dam- ages by the city, are getting salvage money from the buiId- ings, which the city bought and paid for. .>
 The Common Councils resolution ordering the removal of buildings ob- structing the John street extension, says the property owners shall .re- move such buildings 10 days after Nov. 15." Tax Commissioner Arthur F.N Connor also clerk of the Board of Appraisal of Benefits and Dam. ages, is of the opinion that the city owns the buildings and has a right to sell them. Director J. A. Cour- tade of the Public Works Department Is of the same opinion.
 The buildings and property were bought by the city and damages awarded as follows: Susan w. Lacey 10000; Sarah B. Boudren $2,000; Henry and Mary Jones $2.000; Thos. Morrisey s1.500; w. A Smith $1O.- 75O; Anna McMahon, ct al, $500: Sarah Lupton $12.5oo; Joseph B. and Annie Beardsley s10.5s7 and Peter ". Wren $9,937.
 The Connecticut Wrecking Co. bought the buildings for several of the above named persons for a sum re. ported to be more than $3,000. The situation, as learned today is that the wreclking company is buying from these people something that the city owns. According to the ordinance the former owners are entitled to dis. pose of the buildings as they sec fif

HYPHENISM
IN WISCONSIN
IN 1916

The issue Of ''hyphenism," is by I'd
means new in America. AS long ago
as the territorial days of Wisconsin it
existed in form as acute as anything
which has been witnessed in recent
months. The following editorial was
published in the Milwaukee Sentinel
of Sept. 10, 1916:
eve took up the Mineral Point Dem
Ocrat few days since and in it was
column or more filled with appeals
not to Americans-not to citizens of
Wisconsin, but to Irishmen as Irish
men, to Germans, Scotchmen, and
others of foreign birth. Such appeals
cannot be too much deprecated by the
patriotic, by the wise and good of all
parties. He who was born on
foreign soil, who comes to this country
complies with our laws, take an oath
to support the Constitution, adopts
| this country as his own, and with it
an American heart and American feel
l ings, is no longer to be regarded as
an Irishman, or German, or Scotch
man, but as an American Citizen. Such
men--no matter where they first saw
the light, whether under the icy zone
that girts the pole, or in the torrid
cline, where the sun rises or at the
place of its going down-are Ameri-
cans, one and all, sharing in our glory
or disgrace, and equally interested in
transmitting our free institutions I'M
impaired to our children and our chill
drens' children. They may for a time
be duped by demagogues but never
long"
