For us 10 wait until Germany is

Removal of Flag
 Causes Protest by
 Foreign-Born Girls

That the present is a poor time, even under urgent industrial stress and in the midst of a thickly popu- lated district of /foreign-born people, to haul down the American flag was amply demonstrated in Howard ave- nue this morning when a near riot en- sued at the American Graphophone plant.
 In the big record making factory, where thousands of girls of many na- tionalities are employed patriotism has been aglow in the feminine breast. Especially has this been true in the matrix room, known technically as room No. 6, where the girls had hung a large American flag from the win-i dows.
 Because of necessity to utilize the window. it is said officially today, Superintendent Percy Brown casually and without thought of offense order ed it taken in. When an employ named Bince stepped to the window to carry out the orders, there was babel of tongues. The flag being taken in, all work temporarily stop ped while discussion of ways and means of bringing the matter to the attention of the officials prevailed.
 A deputation say Superintendent W. J. Dawson of the record depart ment, who ordered the flag at once re- placed. In the West End the matter received great attention under the misapprehension that an insult was being offered to the flag. Assurances were at once forthcoming from off, cials that the incident arose through a mere oversight.

Enlistments in the Home Guard now total more than 500 and it is ex- pected they will be further augmented by at least 100 tonight when Franklin Bartlett camp, No. II, Sons of Veter- ans organizes a company. It is be- lieved a. full regiment will be enlisted by Saturday night.
 Tonight in Grand Army hall the Sons of Veterans will begin their re- cruiting. Judge F. A. Bartlett is re- cruiting officer. Judge Patrick Kane is chairman of the committee on re- cruiting, and Walter G. Moore, secre- tary. The latter was one of the first in Bridgeport to join the Home Guard.
 The recruiting from the fire stations has not been as brisk as was antici- ,pated, only few enlistments having been reported thus far. The veterans of the Spanish war will organize a company in the High school audi torium this evening.

LIBERAL SUNDAY
 BILL IS VETOED

It would be demoralizing object lesson to the youth of our state and fbaneful legacy to posterity. Such legislation would be11e our rep utation of being the land of steady habits.
 There is another side to this pro- posed law which appears to have been overlooked. You cannot have profess sional athletics and entertainments without having paid participants and attendants, thus compelling men to work on the Sabbath. The whole tendency of modern legislation is to assure to every workman one days rest in each week and this proposed law runs counter to that policy.
 'I do not believe that a majority of the people of this state are in favor of a commercialized Sabbath, and I hope one will not be legalized. 1 "''I am therefore of the opinion that this bill ought not to become law and therefore respectfully return it without my approval for your further consid eration.
