is smaller than the government esti- mate and in my opinion this is due solely to the fact that previous to the 1917 registration there was a great influx to Bridgeport of workmen be- tween the ages of 21 to 31 years. That was evidenced further by the fact that the regisraion in June, 1917, indicated a population in this city of over 5O,OO0. School census and other investigators did not justify any such figures.
 Splendid cooperation of the peo- pie of Bridgeport and especially the registrars, clerks and typists made the registration such a success. All to- gether there were about 150 typists and 1,500 registrars who worked faithfully from a. m. until 10 D. m.' y
 One of the striking features of the day was the registration of three In- dians and 91 from the Orient. The negro registration was 823. The In- dian degistrants are from divisions Nos. 3 and 6.

Washington, Sept. 13-Joseph c. S. Blackburn, former Senator from Ken lucky and in recent years resident commissioner of the Lincoln Memor- ial Commission, died early yesterday ct his home here. He was stricken shortly after arising with a recurrence of heart attacks from which he was chronic sufferer.

 The business agent is also reported to have said that if the present state of affairs keeps up the machines will be totally out of commission and the plants will be tied up solid.
 In discussing the order and ulti- matum issued by President William H. Johnston, of the International Asso- ciation of Machinists, the local busi- ness agent said that Jonnston dared not enforce his threat to deprive the members of their individual member ship in the Machinists' union. If such thing happened the matter would be put up to a referendum vote with the consequence that Johnston would be decapitated.
 The strike leader also stated that he had the undivided support of S00,- 900 machinists in the United States and that the locals in New York and New Jersey had pledged their sup port of the Bridgeport men.

The smoke screen that the Ameri- can gunners placed about Montsec ap- pears to have been successful in pre- venting the enemy observation from that commanding point.
 While the heavy attacks were made on the north and south lines of the St. Mihiel sector a force around the point of the angle was starting series of raids, rushing far into the sides of the German body. The strength of the Germans is not known, but it is certain that there are at least seven divisions in the salient. It has been learned that the enemy had collected a quantity of stores in the sector and will doubtless attempt to remove them.s
 The front under attack was about 45 miles in length. The French were in the line at allotted points, but the distribution of the forces was. such that wherever the Germans turned they faced American troops.
 Just how much the Germans were surprised by the, offensive in a sector so long inactive is uncertain. It seems not improbable, however, that they had noticed the indications given for many days that some new plan zation of the big force was accom-

EVADED RESPONSIBILITY.

Leo Simko, IT years of age, of 390 Brooks street, was brought to police headquarters today by his father and turned over to the authorities who have been looking for the lad for some time for evading responsibility in an auto collision.

 Evidence of the orderly manner in which every man of the thousands registered is furnished by the fact that only one arrest took place and the statement made by Chairman San ford Stoddard, who said:
 "All over the city the registration worked like clockwork and as far as I know there has been no hitch. This registration is the biggest undertak- ing of it's kind ever attempted in Bridgeport and I am happy to say citizens and everyone co-operated in making it the huge success it has been.

 The guns that opened the artillery preparations at 1 o'clock continued for four hours to hammer the Ger mans, not alone their nearby posi- tions but nearly every cross road, vil- lage and town within range. The roads over which the enemy might
 bring up endorsements or retreat were broken up with high explosives. The artillery attack was carefully planned, every battery commander having palnstakingIy registered long | in advance the objectives of his guns. The full effect of the terrific bom- bardment could not be observed, but there is little doubt that it had an immense effect in interfering with the defensive work of the big German force in the salinet.
