WILSON'S ULTIMATUM TO PRINCE MAMMALIAN KAISER MUST GO BEFORE GERMANY CAN HAVE PEACE TALK

equvoca acceptance the and principles of peace from which the whole action proceeds.
 The President would deem himself lacking in candor did he not point the frankest possible terms the why extraordinary safeguards must be demanded!
 significant and important the constitutional changes to be which spoken of by the German Foreign Secre ary his note of the 2Oh of October does not appear that the principle of government responsible to the German peo pie has been fully worked out that guarantees either exist contemplation that the alterations of principles and of practice partially agreed upon will be permanent Moreover does not appear that the heart of the present diff fculty has been reached ....
 It may be that future have been brought control of the German people, but the and it is with the present war that we dealing.
 It is evident that the German people have no means commanding the acquiescence of the military authorities of the Empire in the popular w that the power of the King Prussia to control the policy of the Empire that the determining initiative still remains with who have hitherto been the masters of Germany.
 Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now plain speaking and straightforward action President deems it his duty to say without attempt soften what harsh words that the of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those have hitherto been the masters of German policy and to point more that i'll concluding peace and attempting the infinite nJeS and injustice O this war; the government of the Unlteo oes cannot deal with any but Verabe representatives o the ter man people who have been assured genuine constitutional standing as the real rulers of Germany
 If it must deal with the military masters and the mOnar- chcal auocras of Germany is likely to have to deal with them later in regard to the International onganonS o the German Empire it must debate not peace negotiations Dut sur render Nothing be qained by leaving this essential thing unsaid.

 Having received the solemn and explicit assurance of the German that unresevedy accepts the terms of laid down his address to the Congress of the United States the eighth of January 1918 and the principles Of set ement enunciaed in his subsequent addresses particularly the address September and that desires to dis the details of their application and that this wish and not from those who have hitherto dictated the policy conducted the present. Germany be- haf but from Ministers who speak for the majority of the Reichstag and for overwhelming majority of the German people, and having received also the explicit promise of the present German that the humane rules of civz will be observed both land and by the German armed forces the President of the United States feels that he cannot decline to take with the governments with which the of the United States associated the question of armistice
 He deems his duty to say again. however that the only armisce he would feel justified in submitting for consideration would be which should leave the United States and the powers associated with her position to enforce any engagements that be entered into and to make renewal of hOstilies on the part of Germany impossible.
 The President has, therefore, transmitted his correspon dence with the German authorities to the governments with which the government of the United States is assoca ed begerent with the suggestion that those govern disposed to effect peace upon the terms and prnc pies indicated their military advisers and the military advisers of the United States be asked to submit to the governments associated against Germany the necessary terms of such amsce will fully protect the interests of the peoples in voved and to the associated governments the srced power safeguard enforce the details of the peace deem such armisce possible from the military point of Il view. .-~-

 Dr. Sandige said that from observa- ton in other cities in Fairfield coun- ty and in the state of Connecticut, he would venture to say that unless re- currence of the malady occurred here, Bridgeport would find that it had but 25 per cent. of the number of cases as had occurred in other Connecticut cities in comparison to its popula- ton and conditions.
 After an investigation into the ob- sences of children from school, in which a district where the greatest number were reported to be away was taken as an example, Dr. L. A. Wilkes school medical inspector, reported to the Department of Health that while a number of the children were un- doubtedly suffering from Spanish in- 1uenza, the greater majority of them were able to attend school as far as their health alone was concerned.
 The situation at the Isolation hos pital continues to improve, but one trained nurse is needed immediately for night service at that institution.

With the Allied Armies in France and Belgium. Oct. M.---(By The As- e'-ciated Press, 4:30 a. m.)---The Brit ish have taken more than 6,O00 pris- oners and many guns in their new at- tack, begun yesterday morning on the front below Valenciennes.
 In brilliant moonlight, assisted by roaring focks of night-bombing air planes, the British fought throughout the night and made steady gains.
 A concentration at Preux for a counter attack was observed from the air. Transports, ammunition trains and masses of men became mixed up on the roads in that vicinity. When the concentration was sufficiently large and the enemy traffic appeared to be in great state of confusion the British gunners opened fire. Soon the ground was strewn with dead men and horses. equipment, wagons, lor- ries and limbers.
 Reports tell of particularly fierce fighting at Pomereuil where the Brit ish were held up for time by mur- derous fire from a heavy concentra- tion of German machine guns. The British waited for time until the ad. vance had progressed north and soutf of them. Then they swept around the town on both sides. At the rear they found a triangular cleared space, 1T which the German machine gunner: retired to prepared positions. Int British went around them and cap tured Pomereuil wood at the back O the triangle, thus surrounding the en emy.
 For hours these Germans held out The British finally stormed the posi- tion.
 At Escarmain also there was des perate fighting The advancing Brit ish found the town a shambles. heap of dead Germans lying about.
 The towns had been pillaged by tn Germans.
 There are further signs that tn Germans either now are carrying ou or are on the verge of beginning re treat from the Scheldt line. as tn British north of Valenciennes pus out in the direction of Mons and Mau beaug. There are less than IS mile from Mons and about 15 from Mau beume. There was sharp fighting a Bousies before it was ctptured. A the enemy retreated he explode mines under roads and railways.

PATROLS ACTIVE,

With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 24-(By the A. P) American patrols early today pene- trated deeply into the German lines in the region of Grand Pre- and north of Verdun. The enemy has been us ing his artillery and machine guns freely along the entire front. There has been little change in tne situation since last night.
 Boy Scouts in Hamburg and other cities are being armed with machine guns and are used frequently in quell- ing strike outbreaks.
 Activity today was less than on Wednesday when conditions were most ideal. The bright moonlight last night enabled American aviators to bomb behind the German lines One of the American bombing squad rons dropped 3,O77 kilograms of bombs on the Bois de Barricourt and the Boise de Folie. German aviatorl | dropped bombs on towns behind the American lines occupied only by civil ians and without great military value

The total number of cases to date number 1862, with 118 deaths. The figures show a decline of 75 in new cases and an increase in deaths of f, over the pre- vious days figures.
 Assistant Surgeon c. S. Sandige of the United States Public Health Ser vice, who was sent on from Washing ton to help in the control of the scourge in Fairfield county, said today that from experience gained ip the epidemic in this county and also in Massachusetts at the early stages, Bridgeport would, in the next few days, see a steady and definite decline. Dr. Sandige said that while there may be certain days after the actual de- cline starts when the figures will take an upward bound, it would not last, and he was confident that things would cleanup in Bridgeport in such a manner as to mal-e even the most skeptical believe that the scourge had been finally conquered. He said that he was not making a certain predic- ton that the epidemic was soon to depart from Bridgeport, but was only giving to the public his opinion on the matter as gained from. experi-

SUPREME ARBITER.

Rome. Wednesday, Oct 2S-All the newspa pers here carry columns of comment on President Wilson's reply to Austria. The Epoca says: "Presi- dent Wilson must be the supreme ar bitter between the Allies and their enemies" adding that America, being entirely disinterested if an armistice should be concluded, can be consid- cred almost outside of the conflict and thus adopted for harmoninztng interests among the Allies and for imposing conditions upon the enemy in accordance with the fundamental principles of a reorganized world.
 The Corriere d'Italia considers that the whole problem is based upon whether the Austrian dynasty still has time to come to an agreement with it's own peoples.
 The Tribuna says MT. Wilson's re- ply has removed the sceptre from the emperor's hand. passing it into the hands of the people"

This action involves ownership of a large amount of property on Fairfield beach, and if decided in favor of the plaintiff will mean dispossession of | many of the cottages on the beach. T'ce case is involved, and depends to some extend upon old records which are disputed. Pickett sold much of this land to the present occupiers but in the suit decided in the Common Pleas court his title to the land was overturned.
