The past winter has been unusually
severe on the deer, and in fact on all
wild animals and birds, and there is no
question but that large numbers have
persisted. The game warden is deter
mined to eliminate the self hunting

subsidies in few days, but is fol-
lowed in about two or three weeks by
the onset of the symptoms commonly
described as constituting the picture
OF Spanish influenza. In other words.
It seems as if a special susceptibility
Is created by a previous attack Of
coryza or acute bronchitis.
''Ihe onset of the attack is rather
sudden, as a rule, and is characterized
by fever of varying degree, marked
headache, pains in the bones and
joints and frequently chilliness, and
Is usually associated with coryza and
acute bronchitis"
The sevcrer types of cases, he added,
mad been confined to .ll-nourished per
sons and those who recently had under
gone heavy strain. Pneumonia is most
likely to attack influenza victims who
declined to give in to the original
malady.

Sory we must place in France $500, 900

chan'cal equipment that has ever been

find the men, shipping. and equipment

population must have ample food in

"The food programme is no small
pert of this issue. To provide ships for
our army, we have not only to build all
that we can, but we must have the help
OF Allied shipping. In order that the
Allies may provide this, they must take
food ships from the moro distant mar
kets and place Thorn upon the shorter
run to the United States. We must
decrease our imports Of sugar, coffee
and tropical fruits.
"Cnder these conditions, the demand
upon us IS for larger supplies The
conferences on food supply and ship
ping we have hold IN Europe enable us

has the misfortune to contain too many lawyers, and not enough experts in other lines. There are many reasons why a legislative body should contain a strong representation of law yers. But good legislation re- quires adequate representation of other groups.
 The senate is especially short of the type of brains represent ed by MT. Ford, who is a great mechanical expert and a great organizer. And he is not over specialized, as lawyers and most business men tend to be. On the contrary, he has a wide interest in the collective as- poets of national life, and as a sociologist and humanitarian is entitled to rank.
 The country will be fortunate if MT. Ford is nominated and elected.

A WELCOME VISITOR

The Elks are numerous and patriotic aFder. They maintain Homes in many places in the United States, which have a high utility for the brother hood, and especially for such as are strangers in the commun- ity in which for the time they find themselves. The Elks keep open hands for those who need, and their bounty is giv- en without ostentation; is in deed a secret bounty. The Elks of Bridgeport, like those else where, have been as generous in public as in private giving. They have been counted in every collection, and their sub scriptions have been easy to see, when government bonds were offered, and in the totals of war stamp sales.
 Grand Exalted Ruler Harper, who is a guest of Bridgeport today, is no stranger. He comes to a city that knows him, and admires him. Who is head of the Elks gives guarantees by that circumstance. He is and must be all that men desire in men.
 Flag Day acquires an addi- tional memory by the presence of this eloquent and patriotic head of a great fraternity.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-14
AMERICAN FIGHTING
 METHODS

America long since develop cd two methods of attack Ill battle. The first and most dls- tinctively American method' was borrowed from the h. dians. the original Americans, lw who always went into the fight with wide spaces between men, They moved toward the enemy in short, quick rushes. They sought cover whenever they could get it.
 The British, as every school boy knows, failed to under stand this sort of fighting, and would have been annihilated, in the fight known as Brad docks defeat, if Washington, familiar with Indian methods, had not rallied British forces and saved the day.
 The modern American sol dier is thoroughly drilled in this species of tactic, and in the use of the rifle.
 There is another form of at tack, which is exceedingly pop ular with the Germans; the massed attack, by which men go into the charge in close for nation, rank behind rank.
 This method was used and practically invented in modern times by General Grant. Dur ing the Civil War the rifle was greatly improved. It outrang- ed most of the artillery.
 The rifle was so deadly, and American marksmansAip was so good, that it was useless to send men to the attack, except they went in great numbers. The fourth, fifth and sixth lines carried forward the remnants of the first, second and third, and so gained a victory.
 At Chateau Thierry the American marines used with success the earlier tactics, the formations and conditions of the enemy making it feasible. This species of attack requires a soldier strong in initiative, very intelligent, and skilled in the use of the rifle. All this the American soldier is.
 But there will be occasions when the massed attack will be necessary. It is a matter of conditions, and objectives.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-14

They use the language, there fore we will not use it." But Germans use cannon, T. N. T., gas, ships, submarines, and other disagreeable things. Shall we therefore refrain from us ing them?
 On the contrary, we will use all that the Germans use, that is useful and try to use more of it and use it oftener. Has not the chief chemist for the government even now an nounced that America has more and better gas than the Ger mans, and better gas masks?
 Wars are not won by the un- considered outpourings of hate but by the cool, intelligent, in dustrious, unrelenting organi- zation of the tools of victory, ot which the German language possessed by Americans, is one minor tool.
 Fancy American listening posts, located a few feet from German trenches, and occupied by Americans who know nc German.
