fight, but the impulse was too strong grabbed her hands and hit her hard in the face"
 What inconveniences did you exper- fence in Germany as a result of the war;"
 We did not have so much trouble, because the embassy got all the food it required from the English army SUD- ply depots and the shipments were al- lowed to enter without interference by the Germans. Of course everything is issued on tickets now. Even clothes are issued on tickets"
 "Are they wearing plainer clothes now?"
 "Plainer! No indeed" Miss Lehman replied with emphasis. "They are more fashionable than ever. Of course leather is very scarce and terribly high now, but the women are using it on everything They are even trimming their hats and dresses with it and wearing boots that reach almost to their knees. High shoes cost from $2O to $25 a pair in American money"
 Then the women of Germany have the same instincts as American women for high priced things?"
 Most decidedly, and everything used to be so cheap in Germany before the war. Just think, one egg costs you 20 cents there now. American people ought not to complain about the high cost of living"
 Concluding her interesting inter- view Miss Lehman said: Every one felt the shortage of coal this winter. We had a very severe winter in Berlin and many nights we sat in our rooms with our coats and furs on, but taking it all in all We had little trouble. We were shown every courtesy. The peo- pie of Germany are not complaining, and all of them think they are going to win the war"

The cases of ALI Germans who made
APPLICATION for citizenship papers were
continued until after the war by Judge
Bennett in the superior court this
morning. There were 1 8 of these cases
on the list today. Judge Bennett
heard their testimony and that of
their witnesses but would not permit
them to take the oath of allegiance or
receive papers. He allowed them to
take the preliminary steps in order
to save the applicants trouble in the
future. When the war is over the
applicants may appear in person and
take the oath.
Thirty applications were granted
this morning and aflarge number were
heard this afternoon. The only hu-
morous note in the proceedings was
struck by William J. Haddan, who
appeared a trif1e doubtful about the
constitution. When United States At

Iron Ledge Co. Picked Out
to Be the Goat Of Trans
action

The City of Bridgeport will attempt
to revoke contract 1t has made with
the Iron Ledge Quarries Co. for paw
ing Water street batween Gold street
and Liberty street, with granite block.
The attempt will be made In favor
of warrerite. At g. meeting OF the
paving and sewer commission yester-
day afternoon, 1t was voted to revoke
the contract for granite block. IT no
damage against the city would result,
and give the Warren Bros. a contract
for bitulithic pavement-without any
competition, Of course.
The reason given for this is that
business men in Water street favor
Warrenite and have petitioned for
Warrenite instead of granite blocks.
The commission awarded contracts
yesterday for sections one, two and
three Of the northwest sanitary sewer,
