Spanish influenza again took Bridge were reported to the health authori- ties for the 24 hours ending at a. m. this morning. This brings the total number of cases in this city to 795, and the days report is the high est since the epidemic first gained a foothold here. In addition to the record number of cases, two more deaths were reported last night, bringing the total fatalities up to Is. Despite the increase, the number of cases in Bridgeport is far below the reports from other cities in the east. and Dr. Walter H. Brown, with the aid of the Bridgeport chapter of the American Red Cross, have formulated plans, whereby they hope to imme diately check a serious increase in the number of sufferers in this city.
 In addition to the assistance being rendered by the Red Cross, the De- partment of Charities, Visiting Nurses Association and the Bridgeport War Bureau have all joined hands in oue- lining a comprehensive plan for the emergency.
 Mrs. Walter B. Lashar will head the committee on administration and in order to correlate all activities and emergency. Red Cross station has been established at the United church This office will receive all calls for assistance, and these calls will be dis tributed to the particular agency that is in a position to furnish the aid needed. Through this department all emergency supplies. will be fur nished as needed.
 The nursing service will be under the supervision of Mrs. A. L. Riker and the Red Cross in charge of Mrs George A. Bramann, will cooperate iii furnishing outside service for those cases of influenza which cannot be taken to the hospital This will in. clude the service of the visiting nurses in the home and calls can b. made on this service through tho physician or by application to the Red Cross office.
 In a number of cases it has bee found necessary to provide food for the ill who cannot be taken to the hospital, and for this contingency the Red Cross will tomorrow establish a canteen service at the United church This service will furnish and deliver nourishment for the sick, which will be prepared at a central kitchen and delivered by the Red Cross service wagon to the place needed.

 The Department of Health in CO., 1 operation with the Department o1 Charities has now thoroughly organ l ized hospital facilities and provision for outside cases not able to have thei1 own physician. Provisions have beer made at the hospital at Hillside fo1 expansion if it becomes necessary. IT view of the large number of cases that are liable to need attention. it will l only be possible to care for the Dneu- monia cases a the hospital.

WHO AIDED KAISER WHEN HE FORMED PROJECTILE CO.,? Authorities Expected to Add Other Chapters to Plot Exposure. NET RESULT IS NEW
 INDUSTRY FOR CITY Like All Properties Built to
 Help Germany; Aids
 America.

The announcement of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, that the government through his depart ment, has taken over the property of the Bridgeport Projectile Co.,, is a statement of a long expected fact.
 Before America entered the war, many columns of facts were printed In The World, New York, and in The Times-Farmer, showing in detail how German money had been expended.
 The new part of he story has not yet been made public. It relates to the methods by which Germans re- ceived American aid in perfecting. It is said that government may later re- lease the missing chapters.
 All the familiar German names, known to patrons of the movie thea tres, appear in the story. The net re- suit of millions of Prussian expendi- ture is a new industry for Bridge port and one more addition to Federal war power.

TELEPHONE co. HAS 25 PER CENT.
 SICK OPERATORS
New Haven Operators Have List of 31 Per Cent.
 Ill.
EXPERIENCED PEOPLE ASKED TO VOLUNTEER
In Some Small Offices the Entire Force Taken With
 Spanish Influenza.

The epidemic of Spanish influenza has made serious inroads on the op- erating forces of the Southern New England Telephone Co. throughout the state.
 In some of the small offices the en- tire forces have been taken down with this ailment. In other offices anywhere from 10 per cent. to 75 per cent. of the operators are ill and oft duty and the operating staffs in the larger offices have been considera bly reduced by sickness and by the ne cessity of withdrawing operators from their work in the cities and sending them to the nearby small towns to take the places of girls who are i'll.
 Figures gathered by traffic officials of the company clearly show what they are encountering as a result Of the spread of this disease. In Hart ford 25 per cent. of the force Is l4id up. In New Haven 31 operators were reported Ill. New London has 25 per cent of it's operators on the sick list Norfolk 75 per cent, Wall ingford 25 per cent, Meriden 35 per cent, Winsted 25 per cent, New Brit ain 35 per cent, Middletown 35 per cent, Bristol 25 per cent, Norwich , 30 per cent, Willimantic 25 per cent, Putnam 30 per cent, and in many, If not all, of the other exchanges, the percentage is as high as the average in those mentioned.
 The conditions which bring about the present troubles in the telephone service, it is apparent, are not such as the company can control. But the company is doing its utmost to meet the situation as best it can by earnest ly soliciting the services of experience ed telephone operators who have left | the service but are not now engaged in other than their duties as house. wives A canvass of former opera tors. not employed outside of their homes is being made in some cities and some of these have periodically l consented to return to the switch | board till the trouble has passed.
