ILL-FED WOMAN
POSSESSED $3.50;
NOW AT HILLSIDE

Margaret McNulty, 10 years of age
and homeless was picked up by the
police yesterday in weak condition
from lack of nourishment When
brought to police headquarters she
was turned over to the Department
of Public Charities and at the direc-
ton Of Superintendent Angus P.
Thorne, she was at once removed to
Hillside Home and taken care of.
When she arrived at Hillside DIR.
Francis Carroll examined her and
found that she had not eaten any
food for some time, but when search
ed $3.50 in bills and some papers
were found in her clothing.
The woman has been a we'll known
charac ter about the streets of
Bridgeport for some years and was
usually recognized by the hoop skirts
of the Civil War period which she
wore. She declared many
times that she would never go to
Hillside Home as long as she could
work, and went from house to house
looking for washing and ironing to
do.
1t is thought that she saved the
$3.50 out of the money she received
from doing house work, but it is a
mystery to the physicians why she re-
fused to spend any of it for food or
for new clothing.

London, Thursday, May 30.---Under
cross examination after his startling
testimony for the defense in the trial
of Noel Pemberton- Billing on the
charge of Hbelling Maude Allan, dan
GER, and ]. Z. Grein, manager of the
Independent theatre, Capt. Harold
Sherwin Spencer declared today that
in May, 1917, he had made this report
to the chief Of the British general
staff in writing:
I'VE are being undermined in Italy
because the British ambassador in
Italy is being blackmailed by the Ger
mans and is afraid to send informa-
ton to England"
Capt. Spencer added that the am
basador's name was also on the list
prepared by German secret agents of
1900 British men and women. Ear
lier Capt. Spencer and Mrs. Villiers
Stewart had declared that the persons
named were said to be addicted to
vice and held on bondage to Germany
Through fear of exposure. Capt. Spen-
Ger said he was born in the United
States and had served in the Ameri-
can navy.
Mr.. Billing, the defend
ant, is publisher of the newspaper

BRITISH LOSE
I66,8O2 DURING
MONTH OF MAY

london, May 31.---Casualties in the
british ranks reported during the
month Of May reached a total of 1861
S02. The losses were divided as fol-
lows:
Killed or died Of wounds officers,
1886; men, 20,51S.
Wounded or missing officers, 6,1S2;
men, 1873, 566.
British casualties reported week by
week have recently been running near
the = 100 mark, evidently represent
ing the losses suffered during the
heavy fighting that started with the
beginning of the German offensive in
March. The total reported during
April was only 52,475, as the lists ap-
parently did not begin to reflect fully
the effects of the casualties in resist
ing the German thrusts in Picardy
land Flanders until the beginning of
MAY.

cused us OF spending our money too
lavishly, he repeatedly charged the
English as well as ourselves with be-
Ing money-worshipers
"The Anglo-Saxonsl worship NAM
mon, and they try to gloss it all over
with a show of religion" he said.
your rich Americans have so much
money, Davis. that they really don't
know what to do with 1t. Why, re-
Gently one of your millionaires saw
my castle at Corfu and sent one of his
representatives to the court with the
presumptuous message, Please tell the
kaiser that / will buy his castle at
Corfu, and ask him what's his price?
I had word sent back that the castle
was not for sale. The American then
told my representative that he wouldn't
take mo- for an answer. The cheek OF
the man! He said he didn't care how
much it cost. / sent word back to
that man that there were not enough
dollars in the world to buy that castle.
There are some things that your dol
lars won't buy, Davis. and one OF them
is my beautiful castle at Corfu !"

Christmas Roll Call

The Christmas Roll Call will super
sede the Red Cross Seal Sale this
year, announces the local committee
of the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. Under this new arrangement the
Red Cross and the anti-tuberculosis
bodies of the country will join forces
for monster campaign for funds
The War Council will give the national
association $2,5O0,O0O to be expended
for the calendar year 1919. Each
state will receive an amount equal to
it's gross sale of seals for 1917, and the
surplus sum will be divided.
President Wilson and the Council
of National Defense have commended
this method of making membership in
the Red Cross almost universal and at
the same time bringing to new groups
of people the appeal for aid in the
eradication of the white plague
Although they will not be sold, the
familiar little emblems will be dis
tinctive features of the Red Cross
Christmas membership campaign, for
each new contributor will receive a
special christmas packet" containing
educational literature, ten Red Cross
Seals, and a message of thanks for
his or her part in the success of the

funeral procession was led by the
Reverend Pere de Langen Wendels,
professor of the University, and Mon
sieur Perrier, mayor of the city. Then
followed priests, professors of the uni

all praying aloud as the cortege passed
from the convent at Villa des Fou-
ceres to the Church of Saint Michel,
a walk of twenty minutes. The &C.
count of the funeral states: cit is
wonderful how respected and loved
Sister George was in so short a time
Even those who had met her but once,
came to see her in death because they
had been so much impressed.
The intellectual, moral, and reli
gious worth of Sister Mary George
was appreciated by her great number
of friends at home. The tributes paid
her where she died, expressing the
personal sorrow of many at the loss OF
a sanity woman are evidences of the
high esteem accorded her in the new

Walsh Family
Hitting The Hun

LeMars, Ia, Sept 3O.-The family of
Mr. and Mrs. John Walsh, of LeMars,
certainly are doing their share in the
present war. They not only have con-
tributed five of their children to the
cause, but Mr.. Walsh, who had lived
in LeMars for eight years previous to
the entry of the United States into
the war, has returned to his farm,
eight miles south of the city, and again
has laid his hand to the pillow helping
the only son at home, Raymond j.
Walsh, in farming the old home
place" The Walshs evidently believe
in hitting hard. At the time when
the photographs were sent to The
Journal Cecil Walsh was in an engi
neer unit at Fort Logan, Colo; Miss
Walsh, of the Sacred Heart hospital
LeMars, had made application to join
the Red Cross; William j. was train
/ ing at Camp Pike; Harry John in a
member of Company B, Three Hun
dred and Thirty-ninth machine gun
| battalion, and is thought to have had
charge of machine gun squad in the
recent battle on the Marine; Edward

The Great Marshal Gives Short In.
terview in Which He Shows Con-

Marshal Foch, commandments
of the allied armies on the Western
front, who dislikes interviews and
rarely grants one, received a few
newspaper men at his headquarters
Tuesday, according to a London dis.
patch. Among those was the CORE.
spondent of the Telegraph" who thus
records the Marshal's brief utter
anceS:
"The British army is better than
ever. 1t fights better than ever. All
it's losses have been made good, and
it is more splendid army than it has
been before.
"The Americans are splendid, and
are wonderfully gallant in the field
Ten thousand fresh Americans arrive
in France every day. .....
"The French army is the same good
old army that is was in 1914. Nc
more is to be said.'
In discussing the general situation
the Marshal said:
1.-THE enemy is shaken up AND
shaken down, but is still holding out
You must not think that we shall gel
to the Rhine Immediately We have
passed over the crest and are now
going down hill. If we gather i'm
petus as we go, like rolling ball, sc
much the better"
With few cordial words, the Mar
shall then dismissed his interviewers
and resumed his work on his maps.
