Heroic Deeds Repeated
Great German DriueHeIdUp
F1ue Hours After 1t Began

LONDON, July 15.-The great
German attack was definitely held
up on the whole front east Of Rheims
FIVE hours after it was launched,
according to the latest advices
reaching London, and the only Ger
man gains worth mentioning were in
the neighborhood of the Souain Road
and Prunay, where they succeeded
in penetrating for about one and
one-half miles on narrow front.
At both these points the French
initiated strong counter attacks late
in the morning.
On the front west of Rheims the
Germans had rather more success,
but the only important gain to their
credit for the mornings work was
the crossing of the Marine and a zone
a little more than a mile beyond on a
front of about ten miles.

compartment of trench mortars by
the thousands, was also reinforced
by long-range bombardment of the
back areas on scale greater than
ever heretofore attempted. This
back area bombardment was sys-
tematically directed along the line
of Chalons, Montmirail and La
Ferte-sousJouarre, and the map
shows that this line is located from
twelve to eighteen miles behind the
French front.

3 TRAWLERS FIGHT U-BOATS.

London, Oct. 29 - Three British trawlors, although outranged by the enemy guns, fought recently four Ger man submarines until put out of ac- tion by the U-boats. According to an account of the engagement published in the Times, the armed traYlers On ward, Era and Nellie Nutten were pa trolling near the North Sea fishing ground when a submarine came into sight
 The trawlers opened Ire and the submarine replied. Soon three more submarines appeared out of the haze and all joined in the attack on the trawlers, who kept up the unequal fight despite the fact that the Ger mans exceIled them in gunpower and speed.
 The captain of the Nellie Nutten finding his ship helpless from a shot through the stern, steered towards a Dutch lugger and abandoned his owr vessel, which soon went down. The captain saw the Era in flames and the Onward out of control, and when he looked for them again soon afterwart they were gone.

 The correspondent adds that this is borne out by the entirely calm be- Aavior of the Czechs in Prague, who are entitled to credit. at least, for the present. for keeping perfect discipline

CORNELL WANTS SQUARD DEAL
 IN PAVEMENT I
Votes Against Warrenite Contract, Given Without
 Ordinary Precautions.

Alderman John A. Cornell expressed his disapprobatiea of the Warrenite contracts. which have been such a scandal in Bridgeport, by voting against the WaHrenite appropriation, last night. The alderman wants Bridgeport streets paved, but he wants the pavement purchased by bidding, and by the adoption of bus mess methods:
 Alderman Cornell voted alone at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night in opposing the awarding of contract to Warren Brothers for the warreniting of Brewster street and Crescent, South and Palisade ave- nues. Alderman John J. Ford an nouneed that he would net vote. The contract for the paving of the streets was finally let at s1.55 per yard. This price is said to be an increase of S5 cents per yard over previous con- tracts for the same kind of work.
 The paving is to be laid under a guarantee of five years. The ex- penditure for the paving of the four streets amounts to s24,35O

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

There will be no English pens in the next laying contest. In the first place it costs now nearly $100 to ship pen of ten birds from England to Storrs. Not only this, but it is neces- sary for the contestant in England to secure from the British government a permit to export his birds and then the authorities at Storrs have to get q permit from Washington to import the birds The college did not feel warranted in asking the government to use cargo space for this purpose; and so Prof. Kirkpatrick, who is in charge of the contest, was instructed to cable English contestants that their pens could not be received.
 In the fifty-frst week of the present competition the total production foI all pens amounted to 1712 eggs, which is at the rate of 24.5 per cent. This is a drop from the preceding week of 2S5 eggs but is still 34 eggs better than for the corresponding week last year. The pen of "Oregons' from Corvallis, Ore, was first for the weeh with a yield of 43 eggs. Obed G NIliS1lI w l1AlC W eAiNONhSS II OAh Bridgeton, R. l., won second honor: Fwith a production of 40 eggs. Third place went to a pen of White Leg horns belonging to J. Frank Dubois o' East Lynn, Mass, with yield of 8 eggs. Four pens tied for fourth plac. with yield of 30 eggs each; these were a pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks belonging to Fairfield's Poultr! l Farms, Short Falls, N. H.; pen o. | White Wyandottes from Laurel Hi! | Farm, Bridgeton, R. l.; and two peni | of Rhode Island Reds, one from A W. Rumery, Danville, N. H., and ont from Jacob E. Jansen, North Ha ven, Conn.
 At the present time there are to | tai of Al birds which have laid POI 1 eggs or more since the beginning O l the contest Sixty-seven of these art to be found among the heavy breed and of this number 60, or S9.6 pel | cent are still laying. Of the remairl ing "A which are among the hgh breeds 59, or 79.7 per cent are stil laying This would seem to be reaa
 sonably good evidence that the higl record hens are nearly always loni time layers and consequently late lay CTS. Thus it will be seen that b, | going through a flock of birds at thi

SAVES WORK OF EXCAVATION
New Method Of Making Building Foun
dations Has Been Developed in
France and Belgium.

In the novel method Of making
building foundations, developed in
France and Belgium by Louis Du-
lac, the ground is compacted with
out excavation, by means of a pile
driver, and the holes so made are
filed in with stones or other ma
terial, which in turn are made solid
by compression. On the bases so
prepared the building supports OF
columns are placed. A special pile
driver is used, and this has three
hammer heads, designed respective
ly for perforating, packing and fin
ishing. The perforating hammer,
.33 inches in diameter and weighing
%1s tons, is conical, with a point of
&gh-grade steel. The packing ham
mer, three or four inches smaller
and cup-shaped, is of cast iron. The
finishing hammer has the form of a
truncated cone, but, unlike the 9TH
ers, is worked with the large end
downward. The hole is bored until
the hammer penetrates with diff
Guilty. Tamping then gives vertical
and lateral compression and a con-
crete mixture thrown in tends fur
ther to fatten out the holes bottom
and spreads out sideways. A solid
block is thus formed, with a broad
undersurface resting on well-con-
solidated ground.
