SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY.

If we could gaze past the portals
Beyond which the dim future looms,
Could see what would be our pleasure
And glimpse there our manifold
dooms;
The joy of existence would lessen,
For HOPE, life's great blessing, would
die!
All happiness would wax and wane
In the tho't of some sorrow too nigh!
Our God, with infinite wisdom,
Decreed that the years of our lives,
Should only be lived day by day
And from US tomorrow He hides!
So take no tho't of the future,
And be full content with what is,
The moment, hour and day are ours,
But tomorrow is always His!

 At the Manufacturers Association it was said that it would be an inn possibility to put the men back at the very same work they were doing be- fore they went out on strike, but that everything possible is being done in l the plants to put the men back on the l same basis of old employees. It vas also pointed out that it takes time to 1 issue new passes and to re-enter the names upon the books as the men had i been paid in full up to the minute of ! quitting.

 Information was received in London Sunday night to the effect that Ger many had made an offer to Belgium. The terms included the provisions that Belgium should remain neutral until the end of the war, that Belgium should use her good offices to secure the return of the German colonies and that the pre-war commercial treaties shall again be put into operat!cn.
 The proposal contained no adnis- sion that Germany had wronged Bel gium nor anything concerning repar- ation or indemnities.

RAILROADS WILL
 NOT HELP BUILD
 NEW SHIP LINES
Speaker Before Commerce Chamber Tells What Must
 Be Done For Future.

Bridgeport need not look to the railroads for any aid in developing its water front or building up steam ship lines, but must depend upon it. self" said Alexander Smith at the noon day luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce, held in the ballroom of the Stratf1eld hotel Now is the golden opportunity, while the govern ment holds the railroads" he said Ito make the most of it and to secure the enactment of laws that privately own ed railroads will not be able to over ride"
 MT. Smith spoke at length on the subject of American shipping, which he declared is now passing through a transity state. He said, Tt is ex- tremely difficult to forecast the fu- ture, either as to its trend or as to final accomplishmnt. Public authori. ties, the administration and members of the Shipping Board, themselves, professed not to have any definite plan for the after-the-war development of American shipping. In fact Chair man Hurly only recently called upon the different representative American shipowners 10 meet and discuss what was to be done with our shipping after the war?
 MT. Smith continued: Tt should not be forgotten that the United States did not enter upon the present vast plan of merchant ship construc- ton for the purpose of building up a merchant marine. The acute necessi- ties of the Allies and our own pres ent necessity was the cause for the vast outlay"
 Mir Smith quoted facts and figures concerning the amount of tonnage at the beginning of the war and at the present time, and stated that after the completion of the present program the United States would rank first.

Calls for men for the navy will go out before the end of this month and Marine corps contingents will be call ed within a few weeks.
 The order quoting sections of the man-power law which make the term military service include the navy and Marine corps, announces that sep arate calls hereafter will be issued to secure men for all divisions of the service. State quotas will be allotted to fill the marine and naval require ments.
 After call has been issued, ma rine and naval recruiting officers may ask for the voluntary induction of men to fill the call. If the total is not secured by that method the boards 1 will order sufficient men forward to make the quota. The men will be mobilized and transported in the same i manner as are those of the National army.
 Men responding either to the in- l duction or call method will be count ed upon the states quota as has been furnished for the national military needs.
 Physical qualifications are slightly higher for naval needs and the order directs that local boards shall select no man for the navy who cannot use ] fully the English language and whe has not e complete status as citizen of the United States.
 Special calls for men having tech. nical or educational qualifications fo, the navy also will be issued from time to time. These will be filled by loca boards in the same manner as army calls have been filled. with provision for voluntary induction.
