PERSHING REPORTS.

Gneral Pershing's communique for Wednesday follows:
 "On the battle front north of Yer dun, we have made progress at several points in the face of determined re- sistance. In the course of a local attack in the heavily wooded and hilly country east of the Mouse our troops took the Boise Belleu and pen etrated the enemy's positions in the Bois d'Etrayes, and the Bois de Way rille, capturing over 100 prisoners.
 West of the Mouse Bantheville has been completely occupied and our line has been established along the ridge northwest of the village. The course of bitter fighting north of Grand Pre- has continued and we have captured 75 prisoners and eight machine guns. Artillery fire has been violent on the whole front, reaching it's greatest in- tensity east of the Mouse and north of the Arie.
 The ray has been marked by in creased aerial activity on both sides of the Mouse. In the course of many combats our pursuit squadrons held down IS enemy planes and one obser- vation balloon. Three of our obser- vation balloons were destryed and six are missing. Our bombing units dropped five tons of explosives on enemy concentration points. -'

Combined Liberty
 Chorus To Sing
 When Gore Speaks

Introducing community singing at the indoor war rallies the Bridgeport War Bureau has arranged for a half hour program preceding the address or Bishop Gore at the Casino tomor- row night. Beginning at 7:45 o'clock the mammoth combined Liberty chorus, including the men singers of Bridgeport and the Woman's Liberty chorus, of which Mrs. F. B. Granniss is leader under the direction of AL win s. Breul, will lead the assemblage in singing war songs and national an- thems.
 With the aid of a stereopticon the words of the principal songs will bs, thrown on the screen so that there can be no excuse for those who sing to refrain from joining in these stir ring songs. It is expected that this feature will appeal strongly to the au- dience, for most everyone likes to sing and at the park meetings during the summer the community singing has been a notable portion Of the pro- gram.
 Bishop Gore of Oxford will speak on the Moral Aims of the War" and will undoubtedly tell his audience his reasons for believing that a league o1 nations is the only safeguard of peace in the future, giving also his impress sions of the attitude of England or this subject.
 Dr. Frederick H. Lynch of New York, eminent in the clerical world will also speak. His reputation a. fighting apostle of peace will be up held in his address in this city.

SOLDIERS SHOULD
 KEEP INSURANCE

The Council of National Defense has sent to the Connecticut State Council of Defense a warning for soldiers and sailors against dropping their war risk insurance.
 Some soldiers and sailors are doing this because the relatives they named as beneficiaries have failed to receive insurance certificates from Washing ton," said the National Council. "Such action is entirely unwarranted and de- trimental to the best interests of the fighting men and their loved ones. Be- cause of delay in receiving insurance certificates, many soldiers believe they are paying for insurance protection which they gre not receiving. This is incorrect. Government insurance is effective regardless of the receipt of the insurance certificate provided proper application has been made and premiums are being paid, The certificate is no part of the contract of insurance; it is merely evidence that the contract exists.
 "The bureau of war risk insurance of. the treasury department is mail ing insurance certificates as rapidly as possible. To date more than two and half million certificates have been sent forward and the daily out put is constantly increasing. The bu- reau of war risk insurance now has on it's books more than thirty-five bill lion dollars of insurance, and is re- ceiving approximately one billion dol lars of new insurance every week.
 Tt is unnecessary for men in the service to write to Washington ask ing for their certificate. It will come in due course. The certificate to prove that soldier or sailor has talk en out the insurance or to prove that 8 certain person is the beneficiary named by a soldier or sailor, is not needed.
 Every officer and man in the nili- tary and naval servic of the natior has the privilege and the opportunity of buying up to $1O,000 of Uncle Sans insurance. This insurance is protection for him and for those tha are dear to him-both for the presen and for the future.
 Tt is the duty of relatives of mer with the colors to see to it that he avails himself of this government pro lection, and that when he has obtain ed it, he holds on to it''

USED RESINOL FOR.
 BAD SKIN TROUBLE
Considers Recovery Remarkable


 Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. IA - For almost six years I suffered from a severe case of skin trouble which be- gan with swelling and intense pain in my knee. Then my leg became in- famed and sores broke out, which itched and burned terribly day and night. I tried many remedies, but gained no relief. I even spent six months in the hospital, and the doc tors wanted to amputate my leg. At last I tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and obtained relief from the first application. My knee is now well, and I consider the cure re- nsarkable, as my trouble was very serious" (Signed) Mrs. Henri Mauer, 416 Hooper Street.
