to respond as Loyalty as heretofore TO any
calls issued by this agency for voluntary

ask them both alike to remember that no
sacrifice will have been in vain, If we arc

 The French and British pounding at both Hanks of the salient, Gen. March said, had resulted in the col lapse of the German resistance on August 1 and the French had walked into Soissons.

 It was at this point that the more bellicose of the four pulled out a re- volver and threatened the man behind the bar. Following the example of the first man second of the quartet pulled out another gun while third drew a long knife. They leaned over the bar trying to grab the bartender, but he managed to keep out of their reach while Vainly looking about for some weapon with which to defend himself. It was at this point of the drama that the gunmen opened fire. Swirsky raised his hands to ward off the fulisade and one of the shots tore through his left palm.
 Then the four thugs turned and fled from the saloon and when they reached the sidewalk they apparently went in different directions, for the police, who were attracted by the re- ports from the shots, did not see any of them while they were on their way to the scene of the shooting. The matter is now being investi- gated by Captain E. o. Cronan, chief of the detective bureau who has as- signed several of his men to round ur the gunmen and investigate the story told by Swirsky.
 In police circles there is an inclina- tion to doubt the story told by Swirsky, who according to the police may be trying to hide the true facts | beneath the story of being held up by four negro gunmen.

FORGE
 INSPECTED BY
 COMMISSIONERS
Annual Line Up Today at the Police and Charities
 Building.

The entire police force of the City of Bridgeport was inspected today by the Police Commissioners, Superin' tendent of Police John H. Redgate, Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. Suckley and members of the city adminia tration in the parade ground attached to police headquar' ters in Fairfield avenue.
 Notwithstanding the summer heat the men fill in promptly at 1:S0, wearing complete winter equipment. This, however. was laid aside after the inspection by the Police Board and officers of the department. The men were put through a number of military evolutions and presented one of the smartest and snappiest appear. ances ever seen In any police force.
 The object of the inspection was to go over the equipment of the men with g. view to ordering new uni' forms, etc., for the coming fall and winter. The inspection is usually held away late in the fall, but owing to the fact that the manufacturers of uniforms and equipment are work ling on war orders they require much more time to fill orders for municipal uniforms at the present time.

FLED FROM ARMY TO ESCAPE JOKES
 BECAUSE OF SIZE

New York, Aug. 3-Private William Lewis, 29, of Webster avenue, Yonk- CTS, who weighs 245 pounds and is 6 feet inches tall, has learned that the joshing of doughboys in an army camp is not sufficient excuse for an enlisted man to take French leave from it, no matter how sharp that joshing may have been. He is crowd ing the guard house at Fort Slocum after being arrested in Yonkers last night.
 An anonymous letter sent to the po- lice resulted in Detective Lieutenant Cooper paying a visit to Lewis home, where he arrested the big soldier af- ter the latter admitted deserting from the Regular Army at Camp Greene, N. C.. where he was attacked to the headquarters company of the Seventh Infantry.
 Arraigned in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday, Lewis said he had been driven out of the army by the taunts and jokes of his brothers in arms, It all started when Lewis, who enlisted in New York about six months ago, arrived in the. camp and was outftted by the Quartermaster with the biggest uniform he had, which proved about five sizes too small.
 The doughboys into the camp nick named the big man Hubby" and &C., cording to his story leased him until, to keep peace, he was assigned to the kitchen force. Then, he told the Judge, he ran away,
 "I'm willing to fight the Kaiser, your Honor" said Lewis, "but damned If I'll do my fighting in the kitchen

 such 8 large appropriation for build mig purposes feel that it will be a momentous event in the history of the city. In no other city in the United States of this size has there been such large allotment, and it is only through the united efforts of several of Bridgeport's prominent business men that it was secured.
 Among those who for months have bene tireless in their endeavors in this line and who will take a promi- nent part are George Flames, DeVer H. Warner, F. J. Kingsbury, David Day, Walter Lashar, and w. H. Ham, manager of the Bridgeport Housing company
 MT. Ham has been in conference with the officials at Washington 23 | times and has presented most of the | information desired by the United States Bureau of Housing and Trans portation.
 1 The principal result of the gaining | of the appropriation for the city, will | be the change of the type of buildings which are to be erected. Every house will be of brick, and 1t is only through the almost unaided efforts of MT. Ham, that the entire committee who have been interested have been woT over to the decision of the desira- bility of the change from wood houses to those of brick.
 l In speaking of this to a Times re- porter, MT. Ham said: '"The turning point in the building line in this city has been reached. The public will soon become convinced of the super iority of the brick house over the wood type which has formerly been so popular here. If for no other req son the Iessening of danger by fire will be a gain which cannot be reck- oned in terms of money alone. The wood house will go the way of the three-decker, which menaced the safety of the people until the city isp sued an ordinance forbidding 1t, The final cost of the erection of brick houses will not be much greater and the benefits and durability are ines | timable."
 B. J. Murphy, who Is representing the United States Housing Bureau in the procuring of the sites, stated this morning that very little difficulty was being encountered with property own CTS. Several appeared yesterday to finish negotiations and a large num- Der were to appear today. As soon as the owners are made to understand that the work was war measure and that any delay they caused in the taking over by the government was hindering the progress of a very ne- cessary work, they accept, as a rule, the figures quoted by the government experts.

Re- ports from the various divisions re- ceived since the last figures were printed, July 1. show contributions amounting to s176,52S,15S.

This exceeds by over $100,000,0 900 the estimates made few months ago, and by over $200, 100000 the estimates made a year ago when the revenue measures were passed by Congress.
 The success in collecting this large revenue is attributed by the Treasury Department to the patriotism and CO., operation of the American people in promptly and cheerfully meeting the war burdens imposed upon them.
