U. s. Promises Aid
 In Plan To Speed
 Renewed Building

Washington, Dec. 26.---A division for the conservation of building operation has been created by the Labor De- partment and will be in operation soon after Jan. 1. Civic and trade as sociations have been flooding Wash ington with suggestions. and it is be- lieved that the campaign to be launched will prove one of the great est readjustment factors initiated by the Administration.
 Officials are unanimous that the na- tion's prosperity is best reflected by building operations, and since the ar mistice was signed economists have been anxiously studying the financial situation in an effort to determine the extent to which the country can re- sume the building program halted by the war.
 It is understood that every trade as- sociation of the country will soon join in gigantic advertising campaign to herald an era of prosperity. The Ad- ministrartion is solidly behind the plan anrdl is mobiliZing experts to carry
 out the program. It is said that what ever legislation is needed to bring about financial aid for interests who seek to build will be forthcoming.

VICTORY WEEK IN
 DEAR OLD LONDON

London, Nov. 13 Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The scene was a first class compartment of an under ground train, proceeding westward by slow stages about midnight Tuesday. The occupants were, roughly listed, portly and dign1fied General of His British Majesty's Army, with all the glory of a heavily gold-braided and scarlet-banded cap, the insignia of sol emnity and importance, as the wearer was the embodiment of the same. An eminently sedate matrOn of the upper stratum, in evening dress, with pearls. A mature gentleman of same class with shining white shirt front and silk hat A portly and very tired police man.
 Entered a young officer with ribbons for valor on his chest, and turned out to the limit by his soldier servant. The | young officer absorbs the company with a spacious smile.
 i Well, here we all are, and glad to be here again." he proclaims, beam 1 ingly, and with an Oxford accent ! Here is my old friend, the Bobby" Shakes hands, puts the blushing Bob 1 by's helmet on his own head, and crowns Bobby with the officers cap. "We are glad to have with us MT George Robey."
 This to the elderly silk halted gen. tleman. George Robey is a music hall artist.
 And here is the dear old general" con active service this would mean shooting at dawn.)
 Do we know the Beautiful Lady |? We do not, but we will be introduced to the Beautiful Lady" Business of lowing all around. Only one who has lived in England could appreciate this, and only those who have not lived in England could realize the in credibility of the fact.
 And there in the corner is an OZ- zie" Ozzie is the name for an Aus tralian soldier. Now then, ladies and gentlemen. Altogether Three hearty cheers for the Ozzie, with the kan garoo feathers in his hat"
 They were given, the general failing to join, but not without visible en- barrassment at his own reticence.
 And we will all be disappointed if MT George Robey does not produce a rabbit from the silk hat. MT. Robey if you please, a few rabbits and guinea pigs from the silk hat to kindly oblige."
 Later, while the train stood in West minister station, he filled the doorway and said to the multitude very gravelJ while wearing the helmet and blowing the policeman's whistle: Excuse me

London, Dec. 26.---Correspondence of The Associated Press,) )---One of the most exciting chapters of the war against German U-boats is a, series of accounts of notable engagements be- tween British decoy ships and the submarines, made public by the Brit ish Admiralty. While the whole story of the part played by these decoy vessels, mystery ships or @" craft has not been revealed, 1t is evident that several of them were used to lure the Hun undersea craft to their de- structIpn.
 Some incidents in this campaign all ready have been made known, deal ing chiefly with a few of the exploits of Commander Gordon Campbell as master of the decoy vessels; but oth- CTS in which he and other captains participated now are available That at least a small fleet was used in this work is evident from the fact that Campbell at different times appears as the master of the Farnborough, the Pargust, the Dunraven and the Q-5.
 The Prize, another decoy ship, was commanded by Lieutenant William E. Sanders and the Stock Force by iLieutenant Harold Auten.
 Stories of the encounters between | these ships and the U-boats are filled with deeds of heroism and instances ] in which the discipline of the British Navy was displayed under the trying circumstances. For many months the decoy ships heavily armed but with their guns hidden behind false bull warks, steamed zigzag paths in the seas which were the hunting grounds of the submarine
 l In their character of lazy colIiers or slow cargo craft they presented to the submarine commander an inviting ob- i ject of attack but once he was well within range of the Bitish guns, the false superstructure hiding the guns fell away and the helpless collier be- came suddenly transformed into al fighting craft, bent on destruction
 It was dangerous work requiring the l high order of courage for the sub marine must be 1ured near before the
 guns could safely begin their work.
 Meantime the Hun frequently had l sent his torpedo home and the decoy | ship was disa abled, sometimes on fire
 and part of her crew wounded In
 that condition the battle was fought
 and often the submarine destroyed
 Panic parties was one of the ruses

Behind EHE FOOtIights
LYRIC

Opinions of audiences are the best criterions which can be taken to de- termine the value of performances and such being the case Daddy Long-Legs" now being so successful ly presented at the Lyric theater by the Poli Players can easily hold its place among the very best in the theatrical world. While called a fascinating comedy there Is plenty of heart interest and there are times when the auditors are visibly moved during some of thes tirring scenes.
 The story of the play centers about Judy the orphan girl, as portrayed by Miss Alice Clements, who is well educated through no fault of the au- thorities at the home where she is found when the curtain rises. One of the trustees is impressed by the spirit shown by the girl in resenting an insult and offers to send her to college provided she is not informed who her benefactor iS- She catches a glimpse of his elongated shadow and dubs him Daddy Long Legs and, although she becomes well ac- quainted. with him under his real name of Jarvis Pendleton, she does not know until the last act that he is her Daddy Long-Legs."
 Next week the PoH Players will produce real live comedy of hap penings in high society and a sue cession of real, hearty laughs are guaranteed. "A Stitch in Time is al the present time enjoying wonderful success in New York city and on the road and is well calculated to en- certain Bridgeport audiences. There are few plays of the caliber of "A Stitch in Time" and those who enjoy seeing society discounted should see this wonderful comedy.
 As fitting conclusion for the pass ing year the management will again introduce one of those delightful Sunday evening photoplay concerts or Sunday night. The leading feature will show William s. Hart in Selfish Yates" one of the best pictures made by Hart in some time. Added tC this is feature by Charlie Chaplin one of his funniest, a comedy by the Mack Sennett company, the Hearst Pathe news and a concert by the Lyric orchestra.

BOL LSHEvISM IS
 NOW UNPOPULAR

London, Dec. 26.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) .)---Russlan Ttorllmen and peasants are by no means united in a movement to per petuate a dictatorship of the prole- tariat. according to traveller who re- gently arrived here from Russia. Pre- tense that such is the situation in Russia is one of the efforts or the Bolshevik propagandists.
 For many months, he says, the MOS COW government has been almost wholly without peasant support for the peasants have learned that Bol- shevism in theory and Eblshevism in practtce are as unlike as day and night. The people of the Russian Vll- lages and country districts are de- cIared to be so bitter against the Bol- sheviki that workmen who are forced to return to their native villages for food dare not voice Bolshevik doc Urine for fear of being killed by their relatives or former friends
 To the dountrymen in Russia, Bol- shevism now means nothing but food acquisitions. To him a Bolshevik is an outsider, armed with a rifle who takes grain at prices far below the market rate.
 The peasants ear is no longer open to Maximalist theories. He cares nothing for Maximalist arguments setting forth beautiful social and eco- homie dostrines. He has tried Bol- shevism for a year. He has had much of his grain and other foodstuffs wrested from him by Bolshevik grain crusaders. He knows that the only remaining peasant Bolshevih are shiftless ne'er-do-wells and will have nothing to do with them.
 As the peasants make up S5 per cent. of Russias population their attitude eventually may shape Russian policy, says the informant. They control food production, and bread is the basis of the, present struggle.
 From it's inception the Bolshevik government depended upon travelling commissars who were shipped all over the republic in special trains and pro- vided with armed forces which clubbed city and village governments into line When commissars fell under local influence and became less dras tic in their methods the BolsheviI authorities at Smolny Institute with drew them and sent others who would be more brutal in their methods.
 These methods worked for a time but decreased in effectiveness in di rect proportion to the distance iron Moscow. When the disbanded arm. returned to the villages carrying arm and ammunition the peasants began to initiate Bolshevik methods. The. resisted with machine guns and in augurated the movement which ha limited sovist Jurisdiction to less tha1 one-tenth of the old Russian empire.

MYSTERY SHIPS0 IMPORTANT
 PART IN DESTRO TYING SUBMARINES

practiced by the decoy ships com mander to coax the submarine along side. When the mystery ship was torpedoed these panic parties took O the boats, apparently abandoning their vessel but always leaving on boand another crew to man the guns and finish the submarine if it came near enough.
 The first encounter mentioned by the Admiralty took place in March. 1916, when the Farniborough, disguised as a collier, was attacked by a sub marine. The panic party took to the boats and when the submarine closed in to about 800 yards the Earn borough opened fire on her. The U-boat submerged and the Farnbor- ough passed over her dropping depth bombs The submarine reappeared standing almost on end. Five rounds
 were fired into her at nearly point
 blank range and she went to the
 bottom of the sea.
 Prior to that action the Farnbor- ough had cruised throughout the en- tire winter without being attacked. Within a month the Farnborough COa8Gu anOIn6F SuDIndT1AG near
 enough to sink her by gunf1re. Com mander Campbell later was trans ferred to the command of the Q-5 and in the following February, 1917 his vessel was torpedoed by a submarine which evidently approached so near that shot from the Farnborough be- headed the U-boat captain as he climbed out of the tower, the subma- rine was sunk with her coming tower open and her crew pouring out. De- stroyers lowed the Q-5 in and beached
 her For this exploit the Victoria
 Cross was awarded to Campbell.
 The decoy ship Pargust with Camp bell in command was torpedoed on June ', 1917 while disguised as a | British merchant vessel. The subma-
 rine came within 50 yards of the Par
 gust which then opened fire on her
 with all guns. The submarine crew poured out Nf the coming tower and
 held up their hands in token of sur render, but the U-boat steamed away 1 trying to escape in the mist. The
 Pargust again opened fire on her and
 sunk her with one man clinging to her
 bow as she went down. The decoy vessel was lowed back to port by
 American destroyers. Two Victoria 1 Crosses were awarded for this sue cessful action.
