German Americans
 Outlaws According to Count Bernstorff

Washington, May 8. Count von Bernstorff former German Ambassa- dor to the United States, before the war spoke disparagingly. of German citizens in this country, saying they had run away from the fatherland to avoid military service and were "out- laws" according to a statement made public by Senator Phelan, of Califor- nia, in connection with comment on the passage of the War Army bill.
 The remarks attributed to von Bernstorff, Senator Phelan explained, were made during an interview which he had with the Ambassador in Mu- nich in 1913 in an effort to get Ger many to participate in the Panama Pacific Exposition. MT. Phelan urg- ed a German exhibit, on the ground that Germans in the United States would be proud of it.
 ''He immediately resented that ? said Senator Phelan in his statement. Much to my surprise, he substan- tfal1y said: Do not talk about those people. We do not care what they think or want. They have deserted the fatherland. They have run away to avoid military duty. They have been false to the old tradition. They are outlaws and that was the senti- ment' of official Germany then. as believe it is to-day. They regard these good people, who are expected to render service to the autoeracy now, as outlaws, as men who have fled from their duty.
 q think our German-Ameriean cit izens should know and understand that, which is the Prussian estimate of them, and they would be confirmed in what I believe to be their sincere conviction that their duty lies with America in this struggle"

ONE OF FIRST
 DUMA LEADERS
 TO SPEAK HERE
Dr. Schmarya Levin to Dis. cuss Present Conditions
 In Palestine.

A. H. Fromenson of New York, one of the best known orators in the East, will also deliver an address on present conditions in Palestine.
 It is said that there are about i c, 900 residents of the Jewish faith in this city, and something, like 60 fraternal, social and benevolent organizations and it is expected that this will be one of the largest gatherings ever held in this city.
 A number of guests from nearby cities have been invited and prominent residents have already signified their intention to be present.
 Bridgeport is one of few cities of the country to be visited by Dr. Le- win. His address undoubtedly will prove of great interest to those who have been looking forward to Pales- tine as home land for the oppressed Jews of the world, and being an au- thority on Russia his remarks should prove timely and interesting. The committee on arrangements has spent many weeks in preparation for this meeting and hope that it will prove one of the most successful of it's kind.
 Attorney Charles H. Shapiro has been invited to act as chairman of this meeting, The committee on ar arrangements, is: Meyer soloff. Samuel Katz, Harry H. Fox, Rev. H. Kotler, Frank s. Cohen, David Apstein and Louis Don.

WOULD SUCCEED SHERIDAN

They're all guessing about Mayor Taylor's appointment on the board of assessors, although the friends of F. S. Hunt look wise and leave the i'm pression that they are satisfied that the mayor will retain MT. Hunt an- other term.
 He certainly has active and influ- ential supporters, who have put in a good word for him with the mayor.
 The latest development is the en- trance into the political arena of George w. Finn, a newspaper man, who is a candidate for the position which become vacant by the retire. ment of Assessor James Sheridan. the Democratic member of the board. MT. Finn is a young Democrat, the son of the late Officer Thomas Finn. His candidacy has the sanction of several prominent Democrats as well as clergyman. It has been a "still hunt with him, the fact that he was an aspirant for an important place having only become public today.
 The names of ex-Town Clerk Cur don B. Lee and John N. Near, whose term expires on the board of police commissioners, are also connected with the place. MT. Sheridan friends are urging his reappointment that he, with the other old member of the board may continue the block system.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

A well dressed German woman was robbed, yesterday, on the road be- tween Bridgeport and Stratford by another female. It is said she claims to have lost $51 which she had concealed on her person. There seems to be some doubt as to having 1t stolen. or that she possessed the amount, although she went in search of an officer, but no officer could be found. She is said to have been in toxicated when the robbery was com 1nitted and we have but very little sympathy for her.
