HENRY WHITE, DIPLOMAT.

Few Americans have served so long and so well in Uncle Sams diplomatic corps as Henry White, former United States Ambassador to Italy and France. MT. White was born in Bal timore 6S years ago today, and he has spent nearly half of his life in the service of his country abroad. He was educated by private tutors and in the schools of the United States and France, and began his diplomatic ca reer in 1883 as secretary of the American legation at. Vienna. The following year he was transferred to the London legation, and was made secretary in 1886. In that capacity he served under Ambassadors Robert T. Lincoln, Joohn Hay and Joseph H. Choate He was recalled during the second Cleveland administration, but upon the election of President Nc. Kinley he returned to London. In 1898 he was the chief of the embassy as charge d'affires. In 1905 MT. White was appointed ambassador to
 Italy by President Roosevelt, and re- nained at Rome for two years, when he was made ambassador to France. His service in Paris continued until December, 1909 when President Taft sent Myron T. Herrick to Paris as his successor. MT. White now makes his home in Washington, D. c.

AMERICANS 60 OVER THE TOP
 IN DAYLIGHT I
(Continued From Page D


 During the next four hours the men in the trenches waited anxiously, hearing nothing from the patrol who, during that time, were inspecting 500 yards of the German trenches.
 Prepared for instant battle, the six Americans made their way from one trench sector to another, going into each dugout with the muzzles of their pistol rifles preceding them and tray elled 300 yards. Returning to the point from which they had started on this inspection, they searched the trenches 30 yards in the ot9ler direc- tion. While four hours may seem a long time for this work, it must be kept in mind that every bend and every dugout might contain an over whelming enemy group, and there was no assurance that the Germans had not discovered what the Ameri- cans were doing and that they had not concealed men in places, prepared to met the invaders.
 It was noon when first the head of an American was observed above an enemy parapet. The watchers in the American lines breathed easier, but at this moment the Germans discov- cred the patrol and rifle bullets began to sneak against the trench sides and bottom.
 The six Americans returned un- scatched to our lines, bringing all the information they had sought
 At the other end of our lines during the night, American patrols sought tn kyn fhrny7oh ho mt penetrated the first belt successfully, but when they reached the second a sergeant, who is from Texas, put his hand on wire and received an cleo tric shock and was burned. This attracted the attention of an enemy sentry, who fired flare, forc- ing the Americans to drop to the ground, and they crawled hurriedly back to their own lines as the flare died away.
 While there is no false optimism regarding events in northern France in the American expeditionary force, all ranks, although realizing that tho situation is tense, are confident that the Allied arms eventually will be victorious. --.
 | Not the slightest doubt Is expressed that the British and French will not only halt the enemy, but defeat him.
 All the American troops are anxious to get into the fight and are envious of the role played by the handful of American railroad engineers who are believed to have been caught in the German advance.
 Some of the Americans far back of the lines have insisted that they heard the rumble of the guns in the zone of fighting, but this is not prob able because of the distance of the American sector from the battle front. This is taken of an indication of the anxiety of the Americans to get into action against the Germans.
 To the American troops training in northern France the great battle in Picardy has had the effect of making them speed up their work for they feel that eventualities might make II necessary for them to take part il the fighting.

dale chassis has been taken out and replaced by g. new model sent down from New Haven yesterday. Some few demonstrations of the Schofeld Automotive Tractor will be made next week. One of these will be at Jen- nings' farm in Fairfield where the tractor will blow large field.
 Another feature that is alone well worth the price of admission is Miss June Day. Miss Day Is one of Amer ica's foremost concert singers and she has rendered vocal selections every afternoon and evening at the Casino and Armory. SpeidePs and Bentley's orchestras need no introduction in this city. The former plays at the Armory while the latter at the Ca sing. The musical numbers add greatly to Brfdgeport's first wartime automobile show.
 The accessory men are enjoying quite some success. This years &C., cessory exhibits are not located in the balcony, as was a. case in the past, but are arranged at the rear of the Armory and right with the pleasure cars.
 Tomorrow is the last day. It is the last day for one to so easily make 2 <scompartson of such a comprehensive line of cars as all are now under two roofs. The car scarcity talk has been common and it appears from the gen. eral exhibitors storoies that now Is the time to plan on ordering the car, for soon some factories may not be able to make deliveries. A majority of lOcal diStrihIltOINa ra hTiO pinpr their cars overland from western factories.

THE WEATHER

New Haven, March 29-For Bridgeport and vicinity: Fair to- night and Saturday.
 Connecticut: Fair tonight and Saturday; little change in tenn perature; gentle to moderate north winds, becoming variable.
 A long ridge of high pressure extends along the northern bor- der from Montana eastward to Maine. It is producing pleasant weather in all the northern dis tricts. The southwestern dis turbance has moved very slowly during the last 24 hours and is still central over Texas. It is causing cloudy and showery weather from Texas northeast ward to Illinois. No marked changes in temperature have oc- cured in the districts east of the Rocky mountains. Frosts were reported as far south as North Carolina.
 Conditions favor for this vicin- ity fair weather with slightly higher temperature.

AUTOMOBILE MEN PLATED OVER BIC. CROWDS ATSHOW

The local distributors of passenger cars. and trucks who have represent atons at the Sixth Annual Automo- pile Show of Bridgeport feel highly elated over the large crowds that have been in attendance this week. At the Armory many exhibitors have made sales. The Rec Garage exhibit lays claim to the fact that every car, two Peerlesses, two Oldsmobiles, and two Reos have been sold. The beau tiful green Rec at the Platt booth was sold Tuesday to President Coleburn of the Farmers Dairy Co Others have also been successful in selling some few models.
 At the Casino several changes have been made. A five and one-haH ton Maccar has been added to the MaccaT Truck Co.'S exhibit while the Clyds-

TELLS HOW ''WETS'
FOUGHT THE 'DRYS'
Brewers Official Says State
ORGANIZATIONS Withheld Pur-
pose From Public.

Organized campaigns directed by
the United States Brewers Associa-
tion against prohibition laws and dry
sentiment were described to the Sen
ate committee investigating brewery
propaganda today by John McDer-
mott of New York, manager of the
associations organization committee.
Under questioning the witness told
of organizations formed in various
states, sometimes with their names
giving no indication to the public OF
their purpose. He told of speakers
sent into sections engaged in wet and
dry fights and Of other activities.
Mr.. McDermott said he prepared a
schedule showing the situation in
many states, but denied that his COM
mittee actually participated in politi-
cal contests, except in Tennessee and
Texas, where it supported anti-prohi-
bition candidates for governor. In
other states local organizations were
left to conduct the contests in favor
of individual candidates favorable to
brewery interests.
At an executive session today the
committee decided to take up on De-
cember a general inquiry into Ger
nan propaganda. Alexander konta
Of New York probably willrPe the
first witness.
