An immense throng of friends fol-
lowed the bodies to the cemetery
where sboth were lowered into their
last resting places at the same time.
AS theDead given up their lives to-
gether H an effort to save a life, SO
they were laid to rest together in the
beautiful cemetery east of town.
The attendance at the services were
amongt the largest ever seen in Mos
COW. Second street and cross streets
near the church were completely
blocked with automobiles and the au-
diencel loutside the church was larger
than that inside.
The shocking accident which took
from two homes the flowers that
frightened them and left deep sor-
row, has saddened the entire commu-
nifty. The deepest sympathy is ex-
tended to the bereaved families.
Two loving little playmates
Loved by one and all
Have crossed the beautiful river
To answer their Masters call.
Like birds of the air
They have flown to their nest
From the home Of the weary
To the home of the blesst.
A FRIEND.

FRIENDL|NESS
 OF UKRAINIANS SHOWN BY PAYER

Amsterdam, May 6-The friendli- ness of the new Ukrahian government to Germany was asserted with en- phasis by Friedrich Won Payer, the imperial German vice chancellor, in his speech before the reichstag main committee last Saturday in which he sought to justify Germany's recent drastic measures in the Ukraine -y declaring prominent Ukrainians had been caught planning the assassina- ton of all German officials.
 What effect the change will have cannot be foreseen," he sai& land it is purely a Ukranian affair. We can only wish that under the protection of our arms and with our diplomatic assistance the Ukraine may speedily succeed in attaining normal political conditions.
 'The new government has already declared through our representatives full adherence to the Brest-LitoEsk peace, and arrangements have been concluded with us for a supply of grain. It has further declared free commerce will be granted in favor of Germany and Austria-Hungary.

trouble to look into the matter it is tated who are to blame for the delays.
 The present strike does not amount to much, the men who are out are probably looking upon the affair as a good excuse for taking a little rest, but nevertheless the strike no matter how insignificant it may happen to be is holding up important government work which might mean the cost of thousands of lives and millions in treasure
 Samuel Lavit, or anyone else will not coerce the government of the United States with either threats of what they intend to do or with boast ing of what they have accomplished, and as I said at the beginning the whole affair has the look of being in st1gated by enemy agents in order that the work on the Browning gun might be hindered or held up in some way"
 It is also understood that there are large number of federal agents in Bridgeport sent on here to investigate the cause of the present strike and they are at the present time busy fer rettfng out the facts of the case so that it can be ascertained what is the real motive behind the strike and if anyone has been employed to cause trouble among the workers engaged in the very important government work of turning out parts of the Browning gun.
 Norman Hereux, 22, of 67 Park l street, a striker, who was arrested last Saturday in front of the Carpen- ter Manufacturing Go. on Union ave- nue, when he made vicious assault upon Captain John O'ConnelI, of the Second precinct, who with a squad of | men was trying to induce a noisy crowd of about 20 strikers to move on. When he made the assault he did | not see Patrolman Larney, who was behind the captain until his blow was | countered and he was made prisoner When brought to the Second precinct and locked in a cell, he told the police l that he wished he had nothing to do with the strike and that he believed he was led into serious predicament. When he appeared in court today he was defended by Attorney Hugh Law cry, whose motion to have the case continued until next Saturday was granted by the court

MAN PAYS FINE FOR WOMAN WHO
 TOOK S35O ROLL

That the milk of human kindness has not soured completely was amply demonstrated in the City court this morning when Peter Paraskervaras, claiming to have a suite of offices in the South building, Boston, looked in. to the wide baby eyes of Lena Nich- olson of 181 South avenue, and al- though she had trimmed him out of s36O he paid the fine of $50 which fhe court had imposed upon her.
 According to the evidence produced by all parties concerned, it appears that Lena and Peter were in a Greek coffee house last night along with Steve Brown and Bill Eiakoulas. Lena appeared to be rather "kittenish' and putting hezMhand in Peters inside coat pocket extracted his wallet. There was considerable horseplay and be- fore she returned the pocketbook to it's owner, not however, without first making sure there was no money in it and then she decided that she would like to put her little lily white hand in his trouser pockets.
 Things were much more prosperous in the other garment, for her little fingers closed around a roll of $360. The party all laughed as she waved it in the air, that is they all laughed with the exception of Peter. Then the proposition was made that they go to New York, and Bill Ehkeulas bid them good night. The bill was paid and Lena, Peter and Steve went to the railroad station. While Peter pur-
 chased two round trip tickets for New
 York, Lena and Steve got int a taxi and were bound for New Haven, Peter then broke all records for
 the half mile dash to police head for the half mile dash to police head quarters where he entered his com plaint-
 Detective Holbrook located the tax icalb upon its return to Bridgeport and went back 10 New Haven with the chauffeur, who took him to the address where he had lS& the couple. They were placed under arrest and brought back to Bridgeport with the result that Lena was fined $50, which her victim paid.

 most important. fighting of the last A hours has taken place. The Aus tralians made a dashing attack last night in the important sector between the Ancre and the Somme rivers and drove their lines ahead nearly a third of mile on more than a mile front age in the 'Morlancourt region. The attack of the Australians was so neat ly carried out that they suffered only slight losses and inflicted heavy cas- ualties ,on the Germans, taking 150 prisonaes-
 Farther south in the Picardy area the French stood off successfully a German attempt at penetration. The trial was made after a heavy bom- bardment of the line below Hailles, southeast of Amiens, but the French fire effected complete repulse of the enemy effort.
 The coming of a strong push on the Italian front is heralded official ly from Vienna, which announces that Emperor Charles and his military ad- visers are now on the front. In the Trentino, and the Tyrol, there have been large movements of enemy troops. Rome does not report any marked infantry fighting, nor does Vienna, but the Italian war office notes a. great increase in the violence of the Austrian artillery fire, especi- ally on the TTentino front, where the new attack probably will come in an effort to force the Italians from the Piave line. Aerial %artivity in north ern Italy is intense.
 Emperor Charles leaves his capi- tai for the fighting front at a time when Austria is seething with political unrest. In Bohemia and all parts of his domain the liberals are protesting against his action in dismissing par liament. It is announced in a pan German newspaper that the food de- partment has taken over control of most of Bohemia, ''in response to the demands of the German population" /" Three members of the Austrian ,cabi- net are reported to have resigned. American troops on both the Toul and the Luneville sectors have been busier than usual with the Germans. Northwest of Foul the Germans at tempted to occupy a trench formerly held by the Americans which was evacuated a month ago. The Ameri- can artillery broke up the German effort but further activity is not un- expected. East of Lunevi11e the Ger mans have been driven from their line positions by the American gun fire and patrol has penetrated 300 yards into the enemy lines. The Americans met a German party of seven. Three were killed and the others were taken prisoner.

But 1t was impossible and unthink- able, the Nationalist Header declared, to attempt to apply conscription to a free and democratic people unless there was agreement amounting al- most to unanimdty. He earnestly ap- pealed for spirit of frank and friend ly cooperation throughout Ireland. Without this, unity was impossible Committees throughout the country must be organized with a sincere de- sire to give fair representation to all sections
 If the nations unity were broken in the fact of the present terrific danger; MT. Dillon continued, the government would be encouraged to pursue their wicked and insane policy and the dis cipline of the people, which is essen tial to the defeat of conscriptfon, would be broken. Then the whole game would be thrown into the hands of the military authorities.
 The Nationalists and Sim Feiners, he said, actually agreed that the whole struggle for Ireland's rights was based on the principle of her rights as a na- tion. This was a terribly false impress oAOh' nIs D1l1On QGCldTSu. mere was question that the government had been staggered ard no longer were so confident about the practicability of their policy asprofessed when the bill was introduced.
 The Nationalist leader declared he was convinced that it would take an army such as England could i'll spare to carry out successfully conscription in Ireland. He was also convinced that the government would split on the Irish rock and instead of destroy ing the Irish nation, the Irish would destroy them.
 Prof. De Valera said his followers would unite with those of MT. Dillon to defeat conscript1on. With refer ence to the issue raised in East Ca van, he said there was only one ar bitrator to whom the Sim Fein would submit, namely. the free choice of the electors.
 Declaring the governments con scription-home rule policy is disas' trous, Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman of the recent Irish convention, in a letter to the Dublin press, suggests immediate establishment of a respon- E1Dle government Tn 1reiand as q way out of the difficulty.
 "At. the gravest crisis with which the empire has ever been faced" says the letter, 'the government had staaked their existence on a two-fold Irish -conScripton and home rule. They cannot achieve Doth ex- cept at the cost of much presen bauodshed and lasting hate They might achieve the first and by it make the second impossible.
 'Tn my opinion they would fail 1T the second attempt and have to find a way out of the worst Irish situation an my memory, which goes back tc the Fenian days, 50 years ago"
