feel highly paid for the efforts
put forth in the past week to
make the campaign a success.
The official report for yesterday

FOE REMAINING QUIET:

AM|ENS SUPPLY BASE
GERMANS NURSING HURTS IN REGION
OF LA BASSEE CANAL-TROUBLE is
STILL BREWING IN ZONE NORTH
AND SOUTH OF SOMME RIVER.

With the British Army in
France, April 2O-By the Asso-
ciated Press mo further big
enemy attack developed during
the night. Trouble still is
brewing in the northern zone
and south of the river Somme.
There are indications in the
latter region that another
mighty thrust for the British
supply base of Amiens is boil
ing.
The Germans are nursing their
hurts in the region of La Bassee canal.
In a sharp local engagement at
Riez du Vinage this morning from the
direction of Pacaut wood the enemy
overran the British outposts but were
driven back to the wood.
In the Arras region there was more
activity yesterday and last night. The
British advanced their line slightly on
a 1900 yard front east of Beaurains
and repulsed a German counter at
tack. Later. however, the British
withdrew to their original line.
Southwark in the ridge zone about
KENNEL it seemed probable that the
enemy has paused to organize a more
careful scheme of assault than he en-
ployed in the last few days of costly
fighting.
Another bid for KENNEL and the
surrounding region may come at any
time.

IRISH BISHOPS
URGE RESISTANCE
TO CONSCRIPT|ON

London, April 20-The grave and
menacing situation created by the de-
termination of Nationalist Ireland,
united as seldom before, to resist con-
scription, has aroused deep interest
throughout Great Britain. Particular
emphasis is laid on the decision of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy to throw in
its lot with the Sim FeiEers, who
have openly proclaimed Germany as
their ally. The bishops have not
counselled violence, urging passive
resistance.
The pledge which is to be admin
istered on Sunday to what one au-
thority estimates at nine-tenths of
the entire Catholic population of the
country binds them 'to resist con-
scription by the most effective means
at their disposal" This gives wide
latitude and pleases the advocates of
both passive and active resistance.
TRIES TO COLLECT BILL
John L. Carpenter of this city has
brought suit in the Common Pleas
court against Harold S. Platt, also of
Bridgeport, to collect a bill of $474.60
which he alleges is due. Damages of
| $3.50 are claimed.

READ COMP ANY
SHOWS INTENSE
PATRIOTIC SPIRIT

The D. M. Read Co. believes
that money spent for Liberty
bonds will never be regretted. In
keeping with this belief the COM
pany is to devote all its cash re-
celpts, beginning Monday and
lasting through Friday of next
week to the purchase of Liberty
Bonds.
This money will include all bi1Is
due that are paid in during this
time. This patriotic action will
tend to aid considerably in filing
out Bridgeport's quota, which
now lacks somewhat less than a
million of the desired amount.

CAUSES LOSS OF
ABOUT $4,000

Stamford, April 20-A four story
frame building in the plant of the
Stamford Foundry Co, was burned to-
day with loss early placed at $780,
900. The blaze began in a packing
room in which a quantity of excelsior
used in Grating stoves which are
shipped to various parts of the world
to be installed on vessels. In the
building were machines used in pro-
ducing parts of stoves, and a great
amount, of stock, which, with pat
terms, will not be easily renewed. The
fire burned for many hours and Incl
dental to it were thunderous noises
which were attributed to the fall of
machinery from upper floor as the
timbering gave way. Much OF the
plant was IN danger for time.

An Aueust Coneeption

Samuel Taylor Coleridge poet and
essayist, writing some rs years ago,
said:
"The possibly destiny of the Unit
ed States of America as a Nation of a
hundred million of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws of Alfred and
speaking the language OF Shakespeare
and Milton, is an august conception" !"
The United States is now Nation
Eof a hundred million and more,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and reaching out east takes
IN Hawaii and the Philippines, in the
North Alaska, and in the south of the
Panama Canal But grander than
its physical is its moral greatness. Its
fairness and justice, its courage and
power, its maintenance of right and
freedom cover the world
The destiny the United State is
now fulfilling IS z more august con-
ceptiOn than even the imagination of
the author Kubla Khan conceived of
less than a century ago.
