Mems Mission Opens
 With Big Attendance

Despite the indictment weather the Mems Mission at Blessed Sacrament church was well attended last night. Father Fleming in the doctrinaI in- struction, Faith in Christ" paid earnest tribute to the spiritual ideals of America in this hour of world crisis. Our people are not relegat- ing religion to obscurity and our mili- tary leader in France, General Persh- ing, is openly appealing to the churches of the United States for every moral aid and sustenance." Father W1ckham mentioned the value of the externals in religion. ''The late Joseph H. Choate, some time ambassador to England, stated on a famous occasion, that most love of country was created by one glimpse of the Stars and Stripes than by a thousand lectures on pa triotism. We know the worth of outward forms and symbols in the army and navy.
 +'The Catholic Church for 19 cen | turies has believed in the value o1 the external in the principles of faith Just as the flag is inspiration to the troops-as it embodies all that makes America the noblest land on earth so the Cross and Spire and Altar < finest inspiration to the Christian hosts to do and live for Him whi d,ed on the Cross to show His lov: for humanity"

SITUATION IN
 BATTLE ZONE SATISFACTORY Enemy Losses Under Direct Fire of French Artillery
 Have Been Horrible. GROUND COVERED
 WITH HUN DEAD Allies Forced to Give a Lit tie But They Battle For
 Everything.

With the French Army in France, June 10-(By the Associated Press)- Cndiminished severity marks the fighting between Montdidier and Noy- on. The situation tonight is rather satisfactory for the Allies whose ob- stinate resistance and frequent coun- ter attacks have caused great con- sternation to the Germans. Enemy losses under the direct fire of the French artillery have been horrible. Every time the Allies counter attack they find the ground covered with German dead.
 Throughout the day the enemy threw his greatest pressure toward the center of the Allied line in an effort to gain as much ground as pos sible southward in the direction of Compeigne. Under the powerful push of the continually reinforced en- emy columns the Allies were forced to give a little but they fought ten aciously for every inch of ground.
 An epic struggle occurred in the vicinity of Plemont, where the small Sc1I1SOh OL uIS1IlOunIeQ CdNdlTy pos sibly may still hold out. French soldiers who managed to get through | the German lines late yesterday de- clared that before they left the Ger mans had delivered terrific assaults of which all have been repulsed with | heavy losses for the enemy.
 | Several small villages including | Mery, Bellcy and St. Mature, changed l ownership several times, but, this evening were in German hands. At no moment is it possible to say posi- lively that this or that place is occu- 1 pied by the enemy or the Allies, such l is the terrific nature of the conflict
 Eibbs and flows occur everywhere. Or 1 the Bellcy plateau fighting went ou l continuously for several hours, man tackling man in single combats.
 The artillery is engaged more ac. lively than in any battle in a Iona while. The Germans have been able to bring forward field guns in consid-
 erable number. The French artillery
 fire is most violent and very destruc-
 tive, especially when turned against
 attacking enemy troops.

TEACHERS GIVEN FLAT INCREASE
 OF S2OO YEARLY
Mayor Before Board of Edu- cation Study of German
 Ordered Dropped.

At the meeting of the Board of Edu- cation held last evening every school teacher, supervisor, principal and every person connected with the schools was voted an increase of $200 in salary. The suggestion was made by Mayor Wilson, who spoke in glow ing terms of the teachers of the city, and asked for fiat increase of S200 for each and every one. The mayor said that many of the teachers would be employed in the different industries in the city during the summer and they would not be willing to return to teaching in September. The best vay to avoid this was to grant the increase, as he had learned from the Board of Apportionment sum not to exceed $10,00o could be borrowed by the city. The petition of the school janitors for an increase of $100 was also granted, and this includes Charles H. Poland, superintendent of the High school building.
 The study of German was taken from the Bridgeport High school courses last evening by vote of the board William Webste9, in his re- pert for the committee on schools, said the committee favored the aboli- ton and a vote was then called for on the adoption of the resolution. A tie was shown by a rising vote. Presi- dent Ravens voting in favor of the | elimination, decided the question. Miss Esther D. Pierson of New London, has been appointed teach CT in the High school at a salary of S1,100. She is a Wellesley graduate and has had eight years experience l Kenneth Lundberg, manual train ing teacher, completed his duties, May 21. And Miss Alice Marsh and Wal do V. Andrews, who were appointed on May 13, have declined the posi- tions The resignation of Carl G Leech, teacher of history, was also presented.

COAL SHIPMENTS
 SLOW TO ARRIVE

Coal shipments are so far behind now that the dealers are very pes simistic about the coal outlook for the coming winter. The deliveries under the Food Administration are far short of what they were last year. In fact they are far below what was promised by the government even af- ter the demands of individuals have been cut down as far as they possibly could be. Chairman T. J. Pardy is loath to say anything on the subject
 He says that coal is coming in in the same quantity as when last reported but the receipts for June is something that there is no information about.

At a meeting of the Retail Mer- chants of the Chamber of Commerce, held at The Stratf1eld yesterday noon, it was voted to rescind previous ac- ton and close all retail stores at five o'clock during the summer months and advocate closing at noon each Wednesday during July and August. It was only after careful considera- ton that the merchants came to the conclusion the public would be great ly inconvenienced by the early closing as formerly advocated and especial hardship would be experienced by those merchants engaged in distribu- tion of perishable foodstuffs.
