President of Fire Board Disposes of Critics of
 Riley Appointment.
RILEY IS 40 YEARS OLD
 MUST SOON RETIRE
Members Complain of Dis crimination and Unfair Charges Against In
 surance Fund.

We are running the Fire Department of the city of Bridgeport, and any member who is not satisfied, has only to hand in his resignation, which will be cheerfully accepted by the Fire Board," said John A. Leonard, president of the Fire Commissioners, when told that there was much dissatisfaction among firemen, due to the ac- tiOn of the Fire Commissioners in appointing John E. Riley a fireman and making him a lieutenant Wednesday night.
 Members of the fire department expressed surprise and dissatisfaction yesterday over the appointment of MT. Riley, not because he was made fireman, but because he was made lieutenant immediately. Lieut.. Ri ley is a man we'll over 40 years, and f will have to retire soon. There are many men in the department, it was pointed out, who have been paying for many years two per cent of their sal ary toward the pension fund.
 | Lieut. Riley, can pay but about one- sixth the amount of the average man in the department, before his retire l ment, although he will receive all ot 1 the benefits of the man, who for years has been paying into the fund i Continuing MT. Leonard said, ''The 1 fire department has been built up not l by men in the department, but by the 1 Fire Commissioners. We have never ! consulted the men of the department when we wished to make appoint.
 ments, and do not intend to do SC now. We had a precedent in matter of the appointment of Wednesday night as the same thing has beer i done before"
 MT. Leonard stated that the position on the fire prevention squad, whicT was given to Lieut.. Riley was ont
 which needed man of much tact When asked If there was no othe
 man in the department who was cap able of taking the position, the presi
 dent of the Fire Commissioners re piled, there were many who wer
 capable of taking up the work, bu
 that all men capable of filling thi
 position, already had better position
 in the department
 Bremen in the department for man
 years stated yesterday that. there 1
 little incentive for a man to worl
 hard and faithfully for the interest of the city and taxpayers, when me . who have never been connected wit l the department are stepped in owe the heads of men, who have give

STAMFORD
Especial to The TinnesN

Stratford, Dec. 21.---The Fairfield, a 2S1 foot, 3,5C0 ton wooden vessel, will be launched at 1O:30 on the morning of Tuesday, December 31, at the Hou- satonic ship yard
 Miss Grace Dietrich of New York city will break bottle of wine over the bow of the ship as she glides down the ways Miss Dietrich Is a granddaughter of Mrs. Albert Youngs. and a niece of Miss Johanna Arents of New York city.
 Invitations are being sent out to people of this city and Stratford and It is expected that there will be a very large crowd present at the time the first boat of any size that has ever been built on the banks of the Housa- tonic river is sent into the water. A large band will furnish music during the launching and there will be the usual speeches from prominent citi- zens.
 The launching of this ship has been expected for some time, but it has been impossible for the workrncn to complete the craft. An extra. effort has been made for the past few weeks in order that this ship might be launched before the end of the year. Paul G. Brown, the one dollar a year Washington man who is the head of the plant, has strained every effort to accomplish the desire to have one launching during 1918.
 l There are five other boats on the ways at this yard but it will be the spring of 1919 before any of them can l be launched.

LONDON PLANES
 WILL GARRY 40
Regular Aerial Service to Paris and Other European Cap
 italS Soon.

London, Dec. 20-With the project of transatlantic airplane flights be- tween England and America rapidly materializing, plans are now com plete for regular aerial passenger service between London and Paris and other European capitals. These will be put into effect as soon as arm istice conditions permit.
 Soon MT. Jones in London can pack his grip any day and hurry and catch the 10:3O a. m. aerial bus which will land him in Paris at 1900 p. m.
 Already Holt Thomas has establish ed here the European Aerial Passen- ger Go. Some proposals with regard to this service, as well as considered plans for a much more ambitious scheme for establishing a mall service with France, Italy, Norway, India and South America, with chain of aerial stations extending at intervals of 10 miles all over the world, were dis closed by Mr. Thomas in an inter view with Universal Service here.
 I saw one of the largest airplanes in the world, carrying 40 passengers, flying over London. It was a new super r-Handley-Page. The total weight carried was nearly three tons, and the pilot had six hours supply of petrol. It is with this type of machine that the London to Paris passenger air | service will be operated at fares com- peting favorably with the present railway and steamboat service. A | London-to-Rome service in 12 hours also will be started.
 While European air passenger 1 service is assured for the very near | future, this sort of service between 1 England and America may yet be l delayed awhile. True, entries are already coming in for the first trans | Atlantic flight which may be soon, but it is thought this will be followed | by a transatlantic mail service, with passenger service to come later.
 Speed is an essential thing in this new business" said MT. Thomas, ''and I think I can make an actual speed of 100 miles an hour, as we have ma chimes which can do 130 miles and better. For the purpose of handling international mail I have organized and linked up my company, Aircraft, Travel & Transportation, Ltd, with companies in France, Norway, Italy and India.
 "Figuring on a speed of 80 miles an hour, and we can do better than that, I'm sure, Rome can be reached by aerial service from London in F hours and half, instead of AZ hours by the quickest route before the war

THE GREAT WHITE WAY.

The first electric illumination of a New York street was attempted 38 years ago today, Dec. 20, 1880, when a trial was given to the new system of street lighting. With the crude apparatus then in use the result was far from brilliant, and was but a dim forecast of the wonders to be ac- complished in the future. As a re- suit of this and other tests. it was predicted by many experts that electricity could never take the place of gas as an economical and efficient method of lighting streets. Poor as

it was. however, the first electric dis play of street illumination in the American metropolis marked the dim beginning of the Great White Way, and the transformation of Broadway by night into scene of dazzling splendor such as our grandfathers could never have dreamed of. The first display of electric lighting on a large scale was at the Paris exposition of 1878, when the wonders of the electric candle" of Paul Jablochkoff, a Russian engineer, startled the world. The Parisian display, how ever, was dim and dull compared with the marvels since accomplished.

 My idea is that there should be landing grounds every ten miles throughout the world, with wireless or telephonic means of communica- tion with depots, so that if, say, your mail came down through engine fail ure all a pilot would have to do would be to telephone the nearest depot, T am down with engine failure on Ground IS, and within a very short period a fresh machine and a fresh pilot would-be speeding to his assist ance"

MEMORIALS roR Sol pIERs.

1t is suggested shat instead of erect
ing stone or bronze monuments &c
those who have lost their lives in the
war, as was done after the civil war,
that each community should spend
the money erecting a community
house dedicated to the heroic dead.
These buildings would be used for
the community good, perhaps as audi
forums and for other useful purposes
and would be called "Libety build
ings."
The suggestion is strikingly good
one. for in this way memorial to the
brave boys may be made Of use to
the living as well A bronze tablet
with the names OF the dead and liv
ing soldiers from the town or city
would be placed on the outside of
the buildings wall near the entrance,
so that future generations might read
these names and ponder the work for
humahity,in which their town or city
had so great part.
The suggestion commends itself as
timely and wise.
