Frenchman Wrote the Best Work on Theory of Sports,
 But Americans Apply It.

John Brock, physical director of the local Y. M. C.. A. for seven years, arrived in Bridgeport today after nearly 8 year spent in Y. M. c. A. huts in France.
 MT. Brock arrived on the Santa Anna, which docked in New York Monday night, and at once visited his family who have been living in the country during his absence.
 Christmas night, 1917, MT. Brock took leave of his friends and relativos and sailed for France the following day. Shortly after landing, he was assigned to the Y. M. hut at Gondre- court, which at that time was the ad- vance post of the United States forces. He was made physical director of the First corps school which covered that entire district, and he also was ap- pointed by the French minister of war to direct the physical training of the French army in that section.
 HIS impressions of the French peo- p1e were of the best and are most interesting. MT. Brock speaks high av of the wonderful love of home which in his estimation is the most remarkable thing about that nation which has played so prominent part in the great war.
 "The women of France are the nation" said MT. Brock, their sell sacrifice, their entire forgetfulness of self in their love for Ia belle France is the wonder of everyone who has been in that country since the wal ] started. And such cooking, why really learned to eat over there. 1 The average French housewife car cook anything from wild boar tt ' snails and make you declare 1t is tht l best thing you ever ate.

SPANISH PREMIER
 TO VISIT WILSON
Will Discuss Relations Be- tween Spain and United
 States.

Madrid, Dec. 19-Count Roma nones, the Spanish premier, is on his way to Paris for a conference with President Wilson and representatives of the Allies. He left Madrid for the French capital last night. The party arranged to accompany him included Robert M. Scotten, secretary of the American embassy.
 King Alfonso and members of the cabinet approached Joseph E. Will lard, American ambassador, to see If 1t could be arranged for Mir. Wilson to come to Spain. This was not so much for a political object as it was to show him the spot from which Columbus sailed to discover the new world. The result of the negotia- tions was that MT. Wilson could not come to Spain, but would be glad to discuss future relations between Spain and the United States with Count RomanoneS.

EX-KAISER HAS SEVERE CHILL
Return of Old Ear Trouble Necessitates Calling
 Specialist.

Amerongen, Holland, Wednesday, Dec. 1S-(By the Associated Press)- Former Emperor William has been confined to his bed since Sunday with A severe chill. His indisposition has brought about a renewal of his old ear trouble, necessitating the calling in of a specialist, professor rom Utrecht, to assist the local doctor.
 The constant worry of the last rive weeks and his virtual Imprisonment in Count Bentinck's castle here nave changed William Hohenzollern's ap- pearance considerably. Instead Of the ruddy complexion he wore, his face has become ashen, his hair and mous- tache gray, and his features deeply lined. Since he has lain abed with lis illness his face has remained un- ehaven, and the seventy-two hours growth of beard seems to have added fen years to his age.
 The ex-emperor's favorite adjutant caDtain Sigurd Won Ilsemann, also 1: ill and the former empress has be- come her husbands almost sole at tendant.
 No strangers are permitted to en ter the castle grounds under any pre- text. while all arrivals in the village are being most closely watched.

 ON PRES. WILSON
French Premier and Wilson Engaged Hour in Inti-
 mate Discussion.
WILSON INVITED
 TO VISIT LONDON
Lord Mayor Of Dublin Ex- tends Invitation to Visit
 Ireland.

Paris, Dec. 19.---Premier Clemen- ceau and Colonel E. M. House visited President Wilson this morning at his Paris residence.
 The, French premier and the Presi- dent were engaged for more than an hour in an intimate discussion. Col onel House also conferred with the President during the morning.
 The President has been invited to visit London at Christmas time, but he probably will not accept as he has planned to dine Christmas Day with the Amricean troops in the field.
 London, Dec. Fixing George, it was announced today, has cancelled the arrangement which provided that he should go to Sandringham Palace for Christmas, and he will remain in London instead to welcome President w ilson.
 Paris, Wednesday, Dec. IS - The reason given for President Wilson's desire to make an early visit to Eng land, it is understood, is that he has found it might be necessary to return to Washington much sooner than he lldu 6ApSCl6Os " uGLnST LIllS means d change in the Presidents entire pro- gram, including his journey to Italy is not known here.
 An interesting feature of the dis cussion of the Presidents intended visit beginning next Thursday is that the present British cabinet is technic ally not in a position to speak for the government until the result of the re l cent elections are known on Dec. 28 There is little doubt, however, that Premier Lloyd George and his asso, ciates have been reelected.
 Belfast. Wednesday, Dec. 18-Tht Lord Mayor of Dublin has called mass meeting in Dublin for Sunda! to extend an invitation to Presiden | Wilson to visit Ireland He has sug gested that similar meetings be hell in other centres throughout the is | land.
 Commenting on the action of tn

 says that everyone in Ulster will joi
 in the invitation with the importan
 reservation that there must not be tn
 slightest suggestion of politics."

SCHWAB AND PIEz GIVE TESTIMONY
Called Before Senate Com mittee in Investigation of
 Hog Island Yards.

Washington, Dec. 19.---Investtgation of the construction of the Hog Island Shipyard was resumed today by the Senate commerce committee, with Charles Piez, general manager of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and Charles M. Schwab, until recently df- rector general, as the principal wit nesses.
 MT. Piez testified that the total ex- pend1tures to date amounted to about S58, 900, 900 and that the American In- ternationaI Shipbuilding Corporation, which has the contract for building the plant, has not been paid any thing. Most of the work, he said, was done by sub-contractors. According to unconfirmed reports, he added, the American International company has expended nearly a million dollars of it's own money on the plant. He thought a five per cent. commission would be a reasonable amount to pay the American company.
 It was brought out that while con- struction work has been under the | direction of former Rear Admiral BowIes, who had virtually unlimited powers responsibility for carrying out the full program of constructing
 fifty ways, instead of thirty-one, rest
 ed on the Emergency Fleet Corpora 1 tion. MT. Pfez said when the plan
 to limit the size of the yard was pro. posed, MT. Bowles after a survey, al' tered it and recommended that the | full program be carried out.
 The witness said so far keels fol
 fifty ships had been laid, one ship de. 1 livered, and five are ir he basin.
 Under cross examina = it wa! ! brought out that approximately 1E 1 1-2 per cent of the construction worl at the Hog Island yards was sub-let ] These contracts totalled about SIP, i 900, OOO.

LONDON GREETS
 MARSHAL HAIG
Commanders of Five British Armies Accompanied
 Him.

London, Dec. 19-London hung out it's flags and the seaport Of Dover flung its gates wide open today to greet Field Marshal Haig and the commanders Of the five British arm ies which fought in Belgium and France-Generals Plumer, Rawlinson, Birdwood Byng and Horne.
 It was merely an informal wei come by London but Dover made of 1t a great celebration. The news that the field marshal was coming home to spend Christmas with his family at Kingston became public and his fellow countrymen would not be de- nied chance to see and cheer the leader of their armies. The real celebration in London comes late in January or early in February. The field marshal will then according to time-honored precedenjts be raised to a high rank in the peerage, and given 8 money grant by Parliament for his services to the nation. This is the 2rocedure which has been followed from the days of Wellington and Nelson down to Kitchener and Rob- erts.
 The welcome given the home coming generals today was similar to that given Marshal Foch and Pre- mier Clenenceau of France and Pre- mier Orlando of Italy a little over a week ago, but there was less display. Premier Lloyd George. the Duke of Connaught, members of the cabinet, Generals and less functionaries from the war office made up the receiving party at Charfng Cross station. After first greetings the civilian officials disappeared from the scene and the small procession proceeded through the principal streets to Buckingham Palace, where King George entertain ed Field Marshal Haig at luncheon.
 All business places at Dover were closed and a holiday was declared Admiral Reyes, commander of ths port; all the naval and military of ficers of the city, the mayor, mem bers of the Dover city council ana hLord Beauchamp, warden of ths, Cinque Ports, receiving the returning commanders.

Discredit Idea of
 BOIshevik Army

London, Dec. 19-Reports that th~ Russian Bolshevists have raised an army of 3,OOO.O00 men are discredited by special correspondents to the Daily Chronicle. It is said that the most reliable information puts the number of Bolshevist troops at about 180,0O0, scattered over most of the former Russian empire. It is pointed out, however, that an effort probably will be made to increase this force for the purpose of marching vest ward toward Germany, where the Bolshevists have carried on an ex- tensive propaganda campaign for the last year.

The matter rests entirely with the peo- pie of Bridgeport, and we assume that they will voice their views
 Cyrus L. Stimson, of the Bureau of Living Conditions United States De- partment of Labor, is personally in favor of two buildings. MT. Stimson said today. "A library of the sort which should be erected in Bridgeport should have a small auditorium of it's own, but this should be separate from the auditorium in the Liberty Me morial building. In a library of the kind Bridgeport should have, there should be play, and reading rooms for children, a smoking and reading room for men, rest and reading rooms for ladies, and other rooms that go to make a modern library building. There should be an auditorium in this building, for lectures along strictly educational lines, and this could also be used for amateur theatricals given by school children.

Lieut. Archibald McNe1l, Jr., former president and publisher, and Kenneth w. McNeil, secretary and treasurer Of The Post Publishing Co.,, under whose management and ownership these two newspapers have been published dur ing the past few years, have re- linquished ownership.
 The Bridgeport Post was founded In 1883 at the corner of East Main street and Crescent avenue, this city, by the late George W. Hills.
 The late Frank W. Bolande and Robert N. Blakeslee became assoclat- ed in its publication in September 1891, and in 1908 took control of the property from the late George w. Hills. The Post was then established at 49 Cannon street. . In 1914 MT. Blakeslee retired, and Messrs. Archibald McNeil, Jr., and Kenneth W.

While the Chamber of Commerce appears to be in favor of the erec ton of two buildings, one a library and the other a huge auditorium, with meeting, rest and recreation rooms adjourning, and Mayor Wilson says he is in favor of anything that will meet with the approval of the community, no definite plans of ac- tion have as yet been decided on. The entire matter will be threshed out at the meeting of the two committees.
 Secretary Price said today tho committees can do nothing until they have the views of the various inter ests of the city. On the committee of 125, to be made public by Brad ford D.
