Department of Justice Is
sues Warning to Manu-
facturers Against Pro-
German Plots Which MAY
Result in Disastrous Fires.

Special precautions are urged upon
the manufacturers and wholesale
merchants of Bridgeport who have in
their custody large quantities Of
manufactured goods, war supplies of
any kind, or food. to prevent destruc-
ton through plots or incendiary fires,

Ile forces for guard Is called to their
attention by the Department of JUS
tfce in a letter received today by
Charles H. Lane, special agent in this
city. Adequate protection is strongly
urged,
In the letter it is stated that recent
big fires in Kansas City, in Baltimore,
and In New York, are undoubtedly Of
incendiary origin, and probably the
results Of plots to hamper the war
preparations of the United States.
Millions OF dollars In money loss has
been caused, and many lives have
also been lost in these and other fires
which have occurred
Manufacturers and dealers are urged
to he constantly on the alert not to
permit any similar catastrophe to oc-
cur In Bridgeport. Every effort is
urged to safeguard allt such property.
Agent Lane Is requested to give

LONDON PRESS
DIVIDED over
CEDDES' SPEECH

London, Nov. 2-The maiden effort
of Sir Eric Geddes, the first lord of
the admiralty, in the house of COM
mons yesterday, is not received wholly
favorab1y by the newspapers in their
editorial comment. He is praised for
his frank and businesslike statement
which drew cheers from the COM
moners-and 1t is admitted that he
said much which is satisfactory and
reassuring.
Appreciation is expressed particu-
larry of the new distribution of af-
fairs of the admiralty tending toward
decentralization, and the introduction
Of younger men. This, 1t Is contend
ed, ought to be Justified by results.
The Daily Mail, which has been op-
posed to the present policies Of the
admiralty. says the speech on the
whole dealt fairly and straightfor-
wardly with criticisms; but it COM
plains that when all is said. the fact
remains that the Germans are forcing
the fighting at sea.
The bulk of the comment accepts
and endorses Sir Erios explanation
why the British fleet did not try to
enter the Baltic and his statement on
the convoy incident. Criticism Is dt-
rected chiefly against conduct of tho
submarine war and ship construction.
The Times regards his statement
concerning submarine warfare as can
did and encouraging and says that his
report of construction is reasonably
satisfactory. On the other hand the
Daily Telegraph, the Daily News, the
Daily Chronicle and the Daily Express
are dissatisfied on these points. The
Daily Telegraph complains that the
shipping situation is becoming graVer
and graver. The News thinks STR Eric
put too rosy construction on SUBJ

matter. The firm of Senior Brothers
on State street absolutely refused to

money enough to purchase the neces-
