Mr.. F. M. Keen return ed home this
week from Houston, Texas, where he
attended the American Hardware Man
ufacturers' convention. While there he
heard the famous address delivered
there before the conve&<'n by Frank
Baackes, German born, but "an Ameri-
can citizen from CHOICE" whose address
rang with true patriotic sound. The
closing paragraph of his address follows:
"I am German-born and proud OF it. |
am proud OF my father and mother, and
a better American ditizen for it. God
forgive the man or woman who forgets
the place where he or she was born-no
matter how low it may have sunk. In
crisis like this, when the land of our
father attacks the land of our children,
there is only one flag (pointing to the
Stars and Strips). lCitizens by choice,
citizens by birth, that flag has the right
to concentrate your affections now."

St.Staniis|aus Echoes.

The past week proved to be very
busy one for the base ball team.
Last Sunday they journeyed to the
city only to meet their first defeat OF
the season from the strong Loyola nine,
score 6-2. Both teams played good
bail, save for few bad decisions from
the "umps" which took some OF the
pep out of the game. Andy pitched
fine ball allowing s hits, while we man.
aged to binggle six safties off of Wag-
ner. Elmer Hymel played fine game
out in left pulling down flies that
seemed to be two and three baggers,
besides this he got two hits, one of
them bringing in one of our runs. Be-
fore leaving the city arrangements we're
made for return game to be played
here next Sunday, May 9Th.
Last Thursday saw them playing
their first game at home, against the
G. G. M. A. team from Gulfport. In
this game the score remained ii until
the seventh when the S. s. c. boys
got on to Willis's curves and booted
him all over the lot, and the next three
inning that followed they increased the
score by 9 runs thus making the final
score 10-1. Andy and Shirer were on
the mound and showed up well allow
ing only seven hits, while IA hits were
earned off of Willis.
Next Thursday the nine will again be
away from home. They will journey to
Ponlarville where they will meet the
Poplarville Aggies. 1t is said that
this team has a strong lineup and if
this be the case, good game is ex-
pected to result.

Chicago, June 14-Donations A for re- lgious purposes are. going to be ac- cepted in Liberty bonds at a value of two points above par, according to a statement issued yesterday by the Most Reverend G. w. Mundelein, archbishop of Chicago, at a conference of the priests of his archdiocese. The arch bishop said that in that way. any per- son donating a $1,000 worth of Liberty bonds to the church would thus be credited with $1,020.
 'sI4 recommend that every congre- gation of this diocese take at least $10o worth of bonds, "said Archbishop Mun- delein. Eff you have notathe money in your treasury borrow 1t. I have also decided to accept donations for religious purposes in the shape of Lib erty bonds at a value of 102 so that the donor of a $1,000 will be given a credit of $20.
 Every priest was given an applica- ton blank with the instruction to fill out same and deposit it with the bank with which he does business within 10 days I want to demonstrate es- pecially- to the Catholics that the church considers 1t a positive duty to assist this nation in every way possible in gratitude for the peace and liberty which the church has ever enjoyed in the United States. I say this because want to fulfill the promise which made when we entered the war thai we will render every assistance and give every support to our country
 The archbishop himself has sub- scribed to $10,000 worth of Liberty bonds.

ARREST FACING MORE THAN 200
 GERMAN ALIENS
Records Show That Many / Subjects of Kaiser Here
 Failed to Register

Comparison with the alien registra- ton applications with the state mili- tary census blanks shows that in Bridgeport there are POS subjects of Germany. who have failed to comply with the instructions contained in President Wilson's proclamation.
 These men are liable to arrest by the federal government and to be de- tained for the duration of the war.
 The report of the state military cen- sus bureau shows that when the cen sus was taken there were 2,497 Ger man aliens in this state over 163 years old, and while full reports have not as yet been received from Bristol, Stamford and Greenwich by the United States marshal, only 1,514 applications for permits have been received.
 The state military census bureau enumerated only those who had be- come Is years old while the proclama- ton issued by Pre-idert Wilson re- quired that all male German aliens over the age of IA years have permits to save themselves from arrest and detention. Consequently from the viewpoint of the proclamation there are many more German aliens in the state than the state military census enumeration shows. The report of the state census bureau shows that 1922 of the total of 2,497 live in 17 of the 16S municipalities as follows:
 Bridgeport POS, Hartford 226, Stam- ford 60. Bristol 179, Greenwich 36, Man chester 92, Meriden 13O, Norwich 31, Plymouth 39, New Britain 205, Nor walk 25, Midd1etown 53, Naugatuck 56. New Haven 18S, Waterbury d86, Tor rington 6S, Wallingford 42.

 British troops followed the retreat ing Germans closely and made con- siderable progress east of Pioegsteert wood.
 The statement follows:
 Our further advance east of Mes sines, combined with the pressure of our troops south of the front of our attack, has compelled the enemy to abandon important sections of his first line defensive system in the area between the River Lys and St. Yves. Our troops have followed up the enemy closely and have made consid- erable progress east of Ploegsteert wood. We also gained ground during the night in the 'neighborhood of Cas- pard.

.THESPlAN CLUBS "SHILL" HELD ON CHARGE OF FRAUD Gambling House Proprietors Say He Got Money for
 Police Protection RAIDED, MEMBERS
 MAKING PROTESTS Allege Chas. F. Carey Prom ised to See County Com
 missioners for $150

The arrest of Charles F. Carey, of 1855 Arch street, after he had been charged by keepers of a gambling re- sort with obtaining money from them for the purpose of protection, stating at the time that the funds were needed 'tby the county commissioners to push certain legislative bills through the General Assembly, stirred police circles today.
 In the vernacular of the gambling circles Carey is known as sshill' or an "outside man." He surrendered himself to the police this morning hen he heard that John Piano and George Gussman, who conduct the Thespian club, with Adolph Bensinger. known as Kid Benson," had com plained to Capt. B. O. Cronan that Carey had obtained $150 from them.
 The Thespian club is located at 176 Fairfield avenue. Recently it was raided and Bensinger, who has achiev- ed a reputation among the wiseacres here as having been much sought witness during the Rosenthal murder trial in New York, was in charge of the resort the night the police swoop- ed down on the club.
 The visit of the police convinced Piano and Gussman that they were not enjoying the least protection and being men of worldly experience they felt greatly incensed to think they had been double crossed" Accord ingly they complained that Carey had obtained the money under false pre- lenses.
 When Carey learned the police were desirious of interviewing him yester- day, he decided he would appear at police headquarters. This morning he walked into Capt. Cronan's office. Superintendent Redgate ordered Carey locked up on a technical charge of breach of the peace.
 The defendant denies that he ob- tained the money for the purpose of protecting the gambling house. He admits he received s150 but asserts the money was the total of commits sions due him for bringing players to the club. .Carey's duties as pro- fessiona1 Houtside man. included the recommending of the club to any per son desirous of gambling. The de- fendant frequented. hotels in this city and other places where travelling men or individuals of gambing proclivities could be found.
 For each player furnished the club he received a commission and he as- serts the total commissions due him amounted to $150. He states this is the only "commission'' he referred to. He denies he stated the money was to be used "by the county commissioners for use in the General Assembly, 3 The Thespian club possesses liquor license.

LABOR STRIKE IS
 NOW THREATENED
 IN SHIP YARDS
Would Affect May Thou sands of Employees In
 New York

Washington, June 14-In the belief that the establishment of a federal food regulation will result in lower prices, organized labor forces in the United States started today an active campaign for the passage by July l of the food bills pending in congress. The American Federation of Labor sent to thousands of labor unions let ters urging them to press their con gressmen for early action on the measures.
 Labor leaders became convinced af- ter a series of conferences this week with President Wilson, Herert C.. Hoover and members of congress that the machinery provided by the bills would force discontinuance of much food speculation, and elimination of unnecessary steps in the process of distribution. Many believe prices will drop 30 per cent.
