AFTER WAR TRADE SMITHS SUBJECT
 AT c, OF c. LUNCH

"America's Merchant Fleet and Aft er-the-War Trade" will be the subject of the address by Alexander R. Smith, editor of The Marine News, at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, September IS, at 1915 p. m. in the Stratfield ball room This subject is of unusual importance to Bridgeport, which is at present so largely engaged in the manufacture of munitions and war supplies and which will be vitally affected by the cessa- ton of that form of business at the close of the war.
 The Chamber of Commerce is work ing on the problem of the stimulation of foreign trade after the war through it's committee of foreign trade. It keenly realizes the importance of inn proving Bridgeport's harbor so as to make possible the entrance of ocean, going vessels on which Bridgeport products may be shipped direct. This phase of the work is in charge of the committe on harbor and port develop

GETTING READY FOR 1000 TO f
 PRIZE AWARD

Messrs. J. Alex H. Robinson and William P. Kirk have accepted an ap- pointment from the War Savings Com- mittee as the subcommittee in charge of arrangements on city hall green for the Thousand Dollar Prize Drawing on Saturday night. The broad by partisan spirit of the affair is evidence ed by the appointment of MT. Robin son and MT. Kirk, the one being leader of the Republican, and the oth- CT of the Democratic forces in the city.
 Messrs. Kirk and Robinson will pre- pare the great barrel for the reception of the ballots; will provide that it is equipped with proper pedals or mix CTS, so that thorough distribution of all the stubs may be assured; will ar range for ample lighting when the drawing is made, and will assign the places on the city hall green where tho different agencies now working in the campaign may have stands for selling stamps right up to the last minute be- fore the drawing.
 Mayor Wilson will make the draw ing at 1880 on Saturday night, and as large a crowd is expected as has ever been seen together in Bridgeport. The. popular interest in the contest is such that it is practically impossible to sell a single stamp without coupons giving chances in the drawing. The plan of giving a clean $1 900 prize instead of dividing it up into a lot of smaller prizes has met with much popular | favor. Also there is no string to the prize It is in cash, and not in trade or War Savings Stamps or anything else; and it carries no obligation to the winner to do anything with 1t except to expend it according to his or her 1 best judgment.
 The committee will probably give the winner, if he is present on Satur- day night, a certificate of deposit in i one of the local banks.

 ior Archibald McNeil, Jr., Vim. T.
 Hincks and T. B. Ford. This meeting
 will be held under the auspices of the
 harbor and port development com mitee and George E Crawford, chair,
 man of the committee, will preside at the meeting and introduce the speak CT. It is a matter which is of vital
 interest to everyone in Bridgeport and
 has 8 very direct bearing upon the
 future of Bridgeports industries.
 Probably no man in the United States
 is better qualified to emphasize the
 importance of this than MT. Smith,
 who has for years been a foremost ad- vocate of an American merchant ma rine commensurate in size with our
 opportunities in foreign trade. He
 will speak authoritatively on the after the-war problem of utilization of our merchant feet,the development of our
 foreign trade and the necessity of adapting our harbors to the use of the
 tremendous merchant fleet which is
 now being created regarding which

behaved like regular vandals. They

more damage. This place is a dis

who fled could not have expected, of
course, that all their goods would
have been left intact after so many
troops had passed. But the column
commanders are responsible for the
greater part of the damage, as they
could have prevented the looting and
destruction. The damage amounts
to millions of marks; even the safes
have been attacked.

But this horror apparently was not
shared by the German commander in
chief, as evident from the following:

! commanding officer condemned this
because it was not done by his Or
, der and because two German soldiers
were wounded. 1t is evident that
masSacres and arson were permitted
only when commanded by the officers.
Last night a shooting affray took
place. There is no evidence that the
inhabitants of the town had any arms
in their houses. nor is there evidence
that the people took part in the
shooting: on the contrary, it seems
that the soldiers we're under the in
fluence of alcohol. and began to shoot
! in senseless fear of hostile attack.
The behavior of the soldiers dur
ing the night, with very few ex-
ceptions makes a scandalous i'm
preston.
1T is highly deplorable when
officers or non-commissioned officers
set houses on fire without permission
or order of the commanding, or as the
case may be. the senior officer, or
when by their attitude they encour-
age the rank and file to burn and
plunder.
Il require that everywhere strict
instructions shall be given with re-
gard to the treatment of the life and
property of the civilian population.
Il prohibit all shooting in the
towns without the order of an Of
fcer.

men caused non-commissioned Off

wounded by German bullets.
