 The moving picture combines both of these methods It shows equally the human side of and the very The battlefield follows the parting and the eye perceives why the of the parting is justified
 Of moving pictures of the there are, broadly speak ing, three kinds Those which tell some story of the war; the spoken drama does unfolding tale of the human heart those which confined to of the march ing soldiers baefelds and the apparatus of battle; those which combine both features

DIDN'T EXPECT
 TO BE DRIVEN FROM ST. MIH|EL
Huns Had Settled Down, Fixed Comfortable Qaur-
 ters, Built Beer Gardens.

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front Tuesday, Sept. 17-I (By the Associated Press)-The Ger mans apparently never expected to be busted from the St. Mihiel salient. They had done much work in build ing shelters and beer gardens, and about the Souleveie farm the country had been made to look like a prosper Ous German neighborhood, with re- sorts where townspeople might spend their holidays.
 Little club houses were built and equipped not wholly in keeping with front line operations The dugouts and shelters of the officers were fitted almost luxuriously, some of the larger ones being fitted with bath tubs and running water and lighted by electric ity. Outside of many of them were little summer houses where the occu- pants were accustomed to sit and drink beer.
 When the Americans advanced they captured a German mess sergeant who had been instructed to pack up and leave, but who had underestimate ed the speed of the American progress. He was carrying a quantity of beer and cheese, and when he saw the Americans approaching, he did not run, but busied himself like bar tender and received them standing behind a table where beer and cheese were ready for consumption.

BRIDGEPORT PATRIOTISM.

The speech delivered by Justice George W. Wheeler of the supreme court of errors, at the public meeting held in Bridgeport on Sunday in con- demnation of the strike of intuition workers, deserves a place in the his tory of the war activities of Con- necticut. It was an appeal to patriot ism. That sort of an appeal never fails to excite the sympathy of a Connecticut audience and the gather ing which the judge addressed was typical of the population of an indus- trial community in this state, Justice Wheeler added to the effectiveness of his speech by presenting the question in such way as to make it of per sonal interest to every one. He re- minded the large audience of thou sands of men that the munitions which were produced in the factories of Bridgeport were needed at the western front in France and that if they were not supplied our soldiers including the sons and brothers of those who were listening to him would be moved down by the guns of the Germans, and that they would be unable to defend themselves.
 The justice did not attempt to be o-a a:rical; his purpose was too serious for mere eratory, and he well knew | that the subject had in itself an ap-
 pealing force which carried convic- tion. He spoke plainly, directly and
 candidly and he had the audience with him to man. His speech was
 devoid of the glamor of glittering
 rhetoric or the confusing effect of be-
 wildering subtleties. In many respects
 it was a model speech, and we car ! readily understand how it thrilled the 1 audience. He brought out a concrete 1 well considered expression of senti- 1 ment that will redeem the thriving
 and expanding city of Bridgeport
 which is destined to become one o1 the largest industrial centers of the country in the course of time, from an unwarranted suspicion due to g
 misapprehension of a, temporary con.
 dition that received no countenance
 from the people of the city as a whole
 that there was something lacking 1T it's patriotism.-Hartford Times.

LANDL ORD'S RAPACITY MAY
 GIVE TROUBLE

Profiteering landlords in Bridgeport are going to let themselves in for con siderable trouble if they continue their present tactics. One property owner on Warren street recently rent ed five room fiat to a small family for $35. After the second months recent had been paid, the tenant re- ceived six tons of coal, and the land lord promptly raised the rent to $50. The matter will be taken up by the Rent Commission, and perhaps the landlord will be more careful in the future.
 It is also rumored that said land lord claims to be a Hungarian but is really a German. The German lan- guage is spoken by his family and none of them, not even himself, un- derstands a word of Hungarian. The penalty for not registering as an alien is severe, and if the facts reported are true, the landlord may suffer con- siderable inconvenience on account of his cupidtty.

NO SUFFERING FROM COAL LACK
 COATING WINTER
Fuel Administrator Russell Expects Enough, But
 Urges Economy.

A prediction that domestic consum- CTS of less than 10 tons of hard coal would receive their full requirements for this winter, but that large con- sumers must cut down their con sumption of coal, was made by Thom- as W. Russell, U. S. Fuel Admins trator for Connecticut, in an official statement issued today.
 MT. Russell said he anticipated no suffering during the coming winter but at the same time gave the impres- sion that the proper distribution of coal depended on the abiliy of domes- tic consumers of more than 10 tons to get along, if need be, on two-thirds of their requirements. He said:
 ''The facts, in my opinion are:
 "1. Connecticut will receive this year about 20 per cent. more of do- mestic coal than in 1916. This will not constitute a surplus, but is made | necessary by the growth of war indus tries and the consequent increase ir l population.
 "2. With equitable and economical distribution, there should be no suf' fering this winter.
 "3. There will be enough anthra cite coal to supply in full all home using less than 10 tons
 A. There will be enough to sup ply at least two-thirds of the require ments of homes using more than Il tons hope the percentage will b larger, but this must depend upon tn severity of the winter and other un known factors. To be on the saf side, large homes must begin at one to conserve every pound of coal.
 'The demand for anthracite,i in Con necticut and generally, has increase more than the production. Not onl lhas the increased population create new homes to be supplied, but further more, munitions plants must hay thousands and thousands of tons o domestic coal for melting metals, etc in vital war work, where other fue will not give the requisite heat"

A negro who gave Wesley Murphy
as his name was arrested Saturday
evening by Police Chief Bulge. The
man is working for A. w. Pettigrew
at Thibodeaux and whan asked by his
employer for his registration card the
negro made conflicting statements,
which excited Mr.. Pettigrew's sus.

Saturday to draw his pay Pettigrew
notified Chief Bulge to look out for
him and when arrested to question
him.
The negro admitted he had not reg

Europe's Educational
Message To America
Is To Keep Schools
Going
Make Education During And
After The War Better And
More Effective Than It
Ever Has Been

Every public officer intrusted with
the support of public schools should
know that Europe's lesson to the
United States as result of the war
is to keep the schools going; to make
education during and after the war
better and more effective than it has
ever been. There are befor us now
just two matters Of supreme import
ance: To win the war for freedom,
democracy, and peace, and to fit our
schools and our children for life and
citizenship in the new era which the
war is bringing in.
P. P. CLAYTON,
Commissioner.
France.
"Do not let the needs of the hour,
however demanding, or its burdens,
however heavy, or its perils, how
ever threatening, or its sorrows, how
ever heartbreaking, make you un-
mindful of the defense Of tomorrow,
Of those disciplines through which the
individual may have freedom, through
which an efficient democracy is pos
sible, through which the institutions
of civilization can be perpetuated and
strengthened. Conserve, endure tax
alton and privation, suffer and sacri-
fee, to assure to those whom you
have brought into the world that it
shall be not only safe but happy
place for them."- Frances message,
