McGovern, Mrs. Nathaniel Bishop and Mrs. Jacob Klein, worked Continuously through the terrific heat last week, making curtains, hangings, and chintz covering, buying and ar ranging furnishings and it is through their unseldsh zeal that the home like club house was able to open it's doors on Wednesday last.
 There are three reading and writ ing rooms on the first floor, one con- taining a new piano, and large bill Hard room. The kitchen and pantries are not yet furnished, but it is the in- tention of the War BureSu to add a canteen as soon as possible, and a laundry where the men may wash, iron, and press their clothes will soon be ready for use. On the second floor are 27 single beds, and two bath rooms, with closets and chairs. and mirrors and glass shelves for toilet articles are being put up.

FREE RIDES AND FREE SHOWS ARE ONLY A DREAM Neither Jitneys Nor Thea tres Make Good Offer to
 War Bureau. UNCIVIL REMARKS
 FROM JITNEURS No Arrangements Made hi Theatres For Enlisted
 Men.

Soldiers and sailors who are in the city, and who have attempted to take advantage of the offer secured by the War Bureau, of the jitney men, to al- low all men in uniform to ride free Of charge, have had a rude awaken ing from the short, pleasant dream.
 It was told by several of the young men at the Soldiers and Sailors Home yesterday that on several occa- sions when they-did not tender their fare to the drivers of jitneys carrying the shield, that they were asked in most unpleasant terms as to the rest ing place of the necessary nickle.
 One sailor who had leave of absence Saturday night, was attending a party at the home of some friends, and was to report at the Black Rock Naval base at 1 a. m. As the house was on the line of the jitney service he stayed until he had just time enough to reach the base. It had started to rain and he stepped off the curb as jitney approached, and signal ed the driver to stop. As soon as the driver, who had a shield on the front of the machine, saw that the would be passenger was a sailor he sheered off to the center of the street and left him standing in the pouring rain. Visions of punishment meted out to delinquents loomed large in the mind of the sailor, but the last car came along soon after, and he reach ed the base with barely two minutes , to spare.
 Several other unpleasant incidents
 of remarks made to the uniformed | men who did not tender fares were
 told, and there were, many comments on the conduct of drivers who are posing as patriotic citizens, doing their bit to help the men who are giv- ing their time for the country's good and who are really being subjected to insult and discomfort.
 It was also said that theatres which had sent in offers to the War Bureau as being willing to admit uni formed men free, had made no ar engagements whereby they were allow
 ed that privilege. As late as Sat urday night many of the men at the Home had rendered money for a seat, it had been accepted and no comment made.
 One of the soldiers said: "We are
 not looking for charity, and do not feel like asking at the box office of | the theatres if we may be admitted | free and leave ourselves liable. to the
 same kind of treatment we receive at | the hands of jitney drivers. Most of 1 Us are strangers and have only our pay besides the expense money allow l ed us by the government, and many
 Of us are sending money home. Continued on Page 2)

|60 FISHERMEN ADRIFT
 AFTER U-b0AT ATTACK
Schooner Murley Brings in Members of Fishing
 Boats Crew. ATTACKING SUB
 300 FEET LONG Hun Commander Said to Have Been in U. S. Fish
 cries Service.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 12-A British merchant steamer was sunk recently off the North At lantic coast, according 10 the second officer of the German submarine which sent nine fishing schooners to the bottom off Georges Banks Saturday and Sunday. This report was given members of the crew of the Kate Palmer, a fishing schooner, when they were taken aboard the U-boat, prior to the destruction of their yes sel.
 The fishermen did not learn the name of the Britisher, but were informed she had two smokestacks.
 The fishermen were brought here early today aboard the auxiliary schooner Helen Murley, after having been set adrift in dory shortly be- fore nightfall by the submarine's commander. They reported that probably 60 fishermen were cast adrift in small boats after the U-boats at- tack upon the fleet. Naval and ma rine men expected, however, that most of these men would be picked up.
 The crew of the Palmer reported that probably 30 sailing vessels were in the immediate vicinity at the time of the attack. They said they heard firing all day Saturday from 10 a. m Most of the sinkings occurred on Sat. urday rather than Sunday, as early reports indicated.
 The men brought in by the Murley included Captain Edward Russell. o- l the Kate Palmer, and Frederick w Quinlan, one of the crew, ana two Nova Scotia fishermen.
 They said that when the submarine appeared they attempted to get away but changed their minds and surren. dered. Captain Russell and his smal crew were ordered alongside the sub. marine and taken aboard Iimmedf. (Contlnueu on Pare B.

 Coincident with, his arrival came announcements from Washington and Tokio relative to the scope of 'he allies aims to relieve Russia.

Bevelaczna was arrested immedi- ately after the shooting, which oc- cured at the main entrance to the factory, and has been held by the po- lice on a charge of assault with in tent to kill. This may be changed to that of murder when the report of the coroner is received by the police. At present he is being held without bail and his case will come up August IT, to which date it was continued when he was arraigned before the city court on the morning following the shooting.
 Bradley was unconscious for some time afte- the shooting and was able to positively identify Bevelaczna as the man who had fired the fatal shots He aldD gave the coroner an ante mortem statement which will be used as evidence against him when he comes up for trial.
 Much mystery surrounds the actual cause of the shooting, but the most acceptable explanation is that the as- sailant was discharged from the em- ployment of the Compressed Paper Box company some time ago, and blamed Bradley for having lost his position.
 Five shots were fired in all by Bev- elaczna at point blank range, but two went wild. The others struck the foreman in the body and the right thigh.
 The capture of the alleged murderer was one of the cleverest in the annals of the police of Bridgeport and was effected by Patrolman Patrick J. De- Ivine, who was several hundred feet away from the actual scene. When
 he heard the reports of the shooting he hurried in the direction from which they came and while passing 147 Thompson street he saw Bevelaczna come out of the house, but on sight
 of the uniform he ran back again This aroused the suspicious of the
 officer and he followed the man into
 the house. Overtaking the fugitive as
 he rushed up the stairs the patrolmar
 questioned him closely. At first the
 assassin refused to admit any knowl-
 edge of the shooting. After somc
 persuasion he produced the gun which
 was used and when opened the off1ce1
 found that 1t was fully loaded.
 tDevine then placed the man unde
 arrest and took him bacl. to the Com
 pressed Paper Box company where the wounded foreman positively iden tied him as being the man who haC red the shots. A half an hour late Patrolmen Griffen srd Grossmal found five empty shells under a win ) dow in the alleyway near the alleget
 murderer's home.

The American divisions which par ticipated in that drive have been un-, der French command, but now are included in the first army.
 GneraI Pershing, who retains his post as chief of the American expedi- tionary forces, after time may re- linquish the command of the first army but possibly not until the or ganization of a second army Is we'll under way. Meanwhile, he will have two headquarters. at the first army as well as at General Headquarters
 The step is regarded as. the most important development in the organi- zation of the American expeditionary forces to date. It is looked upon as the natural development of the 1917- Is scheme of organization and train ing by which regiments after training were merged into divisions under full staff direction. The creation of the first army brings great American forces under American command, but. underline orders of the Generalissimo, Marshal Foch.
 The size of the army has not been ennnounced beyond the indication that it contains five corps commanded by Major Generals Liggett, Bullard. Bundy, Reed and Wright
 Each corps is composed of several divisions with each division including 1000 troopsGof all arms. while the corps in addition will have its com plement of auxiliary troops, supply troops, air squadrons, tanks and heavy artillery. It is understood other ar mics will be formed shortly in view of the recent Washington announcement that 100000 American troops ale ready had sailed for E'rnnnA,
