Senator Burton to Speak and Miss Vera Curtis to
 Sing at Concert.

Former Senator Theodore B. Bur ton of Ohio will bring stirring mes sage to Bridgeport when he speaks at the band concert at Beardsley park at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon un- der the auspices of the Bridgeport War Bureau. His long experience in Congress and his public life peculiar ly fit him to speak with knowledge on the affairs of the nation, particularly in regard to the world war. He is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Twin the war;" and will impart to his auditors part of that spirit. His abil- ity as an orator will charm and his presentation of his topic will appeal to the reason of his hearers.
 Miss Vera Curtis of the Metropo1i- tan Opera company, an artist whose home Is in this city, will sing "The Star Spangled Banner" Her suc- cesses at the Metropolitan Opera House, at Atlantic City, Willow Grove, Philadelphia, in numerous other places and at recitals in this city indi- cate that many will visit Beardsley park for the pleasure of hearing her. Mrs. Susan Hawley Davis, who was also to sing, is prevented by severe cold which seriously affects her throat. This news will be received with regret by those who are familiar with her singing.
 The audience is to have a part in the exercises in the community sing ing, which will be led by male chorus under the direction of Alvin c. Bruel. MT. Bruel and the War Bureau hopes that all men who have helped this feature on previous Sun days will be present and that others who sing will join the men on the band stand at 3:15 o'clock. Director Phoenix of the Coast Ar tillery band has arranged a splendid program for the band concert, which is one of two made possible through the generosity of the Bridgeport Mus ical union, which obtained a half rate as a special patriotic contribu- ton to Bridgeport.
 The Coast Artillery band will play the following concert numbers under the direction of J. w. Phoenix at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Beard sley park:

 That was the spirit. That was the thing tl.at had been burned into their souls by the hot breath of war. They had forgotten them selves. Jim was not thinking of Jim but of Mike. Mike was not thinking of Mike but of Jack. Each passed it on.
 The dressing station was small and many must lie outside until the men who were taken in first could be evacuated. You heard groans, but amid the groans you heard cheery, gritty, words, "Oow, that damn leg =. How's Charlie maxim itp Any body know? l seen him sit it.... Cow, ...!

T HEY were coming back out
 of the bot blast of the great
 battle-those boys of cer"
 tain division now famous throughout France and ono day to be famous throughout the world. They were not coming back because they wanted to, nor because they had had enough of 1t; they were being brought on strotcher5, wounded, gassed, sheIl-shocked. to an advanced dressing station. Some of them seemed just boys. One could see them grit their tecth to hold back the moan of pain.
 'Hard luck, Pal?" said a doctor interrogatiyely, as the bearers set down a stretcher il the courtyard. The boy shrugged his shoulders, actually shrugged them as well as he could, bundled up in that stretch CT, and grinned wanly.

Celebrate April l
"All Fools Day Occasion for Reunion
on Shale Shoals of Rock Greek

On April it became a prevailing
berly should have vacation from
their studies. But the board some
how did not see fit to grant such a
whim
However, seniors are not to be de-
MED anything on which they have
set their hearts. So, one of the young
men was appointed to explain the
idea to the session room teacher
which he did.
About nine o'clock a. m. one could
see a crowd of young people gather
ing near the Gill garage. One of the
number, a young fellow more cour-
ageous than the rest, stepped up 10
the senior session room. There in
great bold letters he wrote the motto
April Fool"
Then, with the aid of one junior
who happened to be driving a Ford
they made their way to Rock creek
where they enjoyed the day.
But, zone must always pay the fid-
der" as the saying goes. Now, all of
the twelve young people who would
have their way, are staying in at re-
cess time to make up time. But still
they say they don't mind. since the
day was fine and they had enough
fun to make up for any grief now.
But the most peculiar point of it all
is that the idea" seemed to be catch
ing. The correspondent has it that
the grades even down as far as the
seventh and eighth or Junior high
school also took it upon themselves
to have a holiday, with practically the
same results.
