Lieut. Thompson
Suffers Accident

Dispatches from Meridian, Miss,
state that Lieut. Harry w. Thompson
and his mechanician, Sergt. K. E. Chap
man, narrowly escaped serious injury
at Meridian yesterday. In leaving a
field near the fair ground, where an
exhibition flight was to have been
given, the machine collided with farm
wagon and was so badly damaged that
it was necessary to dismantle it and
ship it to Pensacola for repairs. Both
occupants escaped injury, other than
a few scratches.
Lieut.. Thompson has been making a
series of flights in the interest of the
Liberty Loan and gave a spectacular
exhibition in Pensacola a few days
ago.

Gen. Pershing to Have Gun Supplies on Un-
 precedented Scale. SIX DIVISIONS TO
 U. s. ARMY CORPS Washington Perfects Or ganization. Schedule for Troops Abroad.

Washington, March Biased on the line method of trench warfare evolved in France, the war department, it was learned today, has approved a plan of organization which fixes six divisions as the strength of an army corps.
 Three or more corps will constitute a field army and the immediate purpose of the de- partment is to complete the or ganization of the first field army in France in the shortest possible time to give Gen. Per shing the strength to hold a fully "Americanized" sector of the front.
 By the six division army corps plan each corps will occupy front sector with two divisions, while two replace ment or reinforcement lines of two divisions each will back them up. The effect is to produce the line of depth necessary for the type of warfare now in prgress.
 Replacement troops sent from the United States are fed into the war machine in France at the third line. They move forward in regular order as their training progresses and ar rive at front line trenches to fill in casualty gaps only when they have been thoroughly seasoned.
 To fulfil the functions of an army | corps it has been found necessary tc place under corps commander, in addition to his six infantry divisions, approximately 3O,O0O men known as corps troops. These comprise artillery units, engineers and all types of ser vice battalions for work on the com munication lines of their own corps i A similar organization of about 120, ,00( men is necessary for each field army (Continued on Page D

1000 RETAILERS
 PLEDGED TO SELL
 AT STABLE PRICE

More than 1000 Connecticut retail dealers in foodstuffs have been signed up during the past three weeks who have pledged themselves to abide by the stabilizing of prices by the United States Food Administration, and newN- papers have been authorized to pub fish twice a week a table giving the prices of food commodities on the wholesale market, in order that the public may be guided as to the price of foods.
 D. Fairchild Wheeler. assistant to Robert Scoville, Federal Food Ad- ministrator for Connecticut, is fol- lowing the precedent set by Hartford and will install the system in Bridge port. The prices will not be actually fixed, but will be stabilized and the prices which the retailer pays to the wholesaler, and what the public should pay the retailer will be pub lished in the Bridgeport papers twice a week.

CHANGE TO PURCHASE WHITE FLOUR OFFERED
 PUBLIC ON SATURDAY

Chance to buy white flour with potatoes as the accompanying sub- stitute is offered the public through the Agricultural Department of the Fairfield County Association, which has already comparatively marketed large quantities of food products for the benefit of the public.
 By offering potatoes in combin- ation with white four, the need of buying the Ordinary substitute such as corn meal, rice, barley, oatmeal or hominy, is done away with, and the cost of the whole purchase is reduced, as the cereal substitutes are for the most part considerably moro expensive than wheat flour.
 The public sale is announced for Saturday, beginning at 9 a. m. at the Agricultural Departments rooms, 9S7 Main street.

AUSTRIANS LOOKING
 TO u. s.
Deputies Condemn Policy of > Rejecting Presidents
 Proposals.

New York, March 7.-Presi- dent Wilson's address to Con- gross early in January, in which he defined fl conditions for world peace, has acted like a leaven- in the political life of sAustria-Hun- gary and the conditions are re- verted to over and over again as a possible or concrete basis for negotiations, as appears from the discussion in Austrian newspapers of the latter part of January, just received here.
 The Presidents proposals also have received considerable atten- tion ill Germany. The papers there explain the favorable echo the pro- posaIs have evoked in Austria by saying that the objectionable parts of the Presidents address do not apply to Austria as vitally as they do to Germany.
 Various members of the Aus trian House of Deputies declared in the budget committee of that body that it was a mistake to re- ject the Wilson proposals coolly and contemptuously. They eX- pressed the belief that even at the present time it should be possible to reach an understanding with the Western powers.

As fast as the men fill out their ap- plications and have been examined by the doctor they are given a driving and mechanical test at the Locomo- bile plant, and if they prove satisfac- tory as drivers their applications are immediately forwarded to the Red Cross headquarters where they are submitted for approval When appli- cations are approved the recruit is in structed to hold himself in readiness to be summoned to a base depot to report by wire.
 Lieutenant Bowman will be assisted at the local office for a few days by Lieutenant W. F. Beardslee, son of George F. Beardslee, first assistant chief of the Bridgeport Fire Depart ment, who is here on leave of aIb- sence in order that he may bid good bye to his family and friends before sailing for France.
 Cables are being constantly received from the front urging the Red Cross officials in America to speed up re- cruiting in the transport division. Hundreds of thousands of packing cases cramnrad with hospital supplies literally choke the distributing bases in France for want of drivers to pilot the thousands of trucks which are lying idle waiting crews.
 Not alone are hospital supplies be- ing held at the French seaports as a consequence of the lack of drivers but huge lots of Christmas packages ,S, the boys in the trenches are held up because there are no means of for warding them to their destinatfot.
 All successful candidates for enlist meth with the Red Cross forces vii be notified by wire from. headquarters as to the time to report. They vii be assembled at an Atlantic seapor and while waiting for the sailing Q. the ship which will carry them across they will be supplied with a complete kit for active service. All hotel ex penses will be paid while they art waiting, and their pay starts iron the moment they receive their orde, to report for duty.
 There is a big chance for all tht Bridgeport contingent to be attached to General Pershing's army and ther is another possibility of their bein! sent to the Italian front later. Ac cording to the latest cables the Re- Cross is organizing big force to op crate in Italy, and if anything thi joints to some very busy times bein in store on the Piave.
 Tests in both driving and mechanic are being made every day at the Lo comobile plant.

DAMAGE AWARD IN MARX SUIT WILL
 60 TO CITY OF BPT.

One of the peculiar features of the case decided by the jury in the Supe- rior Court yesterday in which a ver- dict was awarded to Magdalene Marx, widow of John Marx, for $2,313.50 is that Marx will receive little, if any, of the money in case the judgment is satisfied by the defendant.
 Marx was @ gate tender at the Yel- low Mill bridge, was injured Decem- ber IS, 1916, by an automobile driven by Edgar w. Hunt of Stratford, and later died. He was given the con- pensation allowed by law as a city employe meeting death while engaged in his usual occupation, amounting to about g, 700 altogether.
 This is the first case, so far as known, in which the city participates in a suit under the compensation law to recover for injuries to one of its servants inicted by a third party.

YANKEE COL 0NEL [. TAXES PRUSSIAN
 LIEUT.. ALONE

With the American Army in France, Wednesday, March 6-(By the As sociated Press)-An American staff colonel while with a French raiding party for the purpose of obtaining in- formation a few days before his men took up their positions in the new American sector on the Lorraine front met a Prussian lieutenant in an enemy trench and captured him. The colonel with an American captain brought the Prussian officer back to the lines that the Americans now are occupying.
 The German raid in this new sector occurred on Monday night, a sharp fight taking place in which the Ger mans suffered a repulse with losses. In it unit which was among the most recent arrivals displayed the custom ary American fighting energy and ap- parently gave the enemy a much warmer reception than he expected.
 The American troops here are train- ing with French troops, as at the Chemin des Danes position. This makes the third American force now facing the enemy.
 During several days of the Ameri- cans service here the casualties have been extraordinarily slight, as the eector is one of the quietest.
 The lines are far apart and the posi- ton is held by strong points rather than by continuous trenches.
 The Prussian lieutenant's capture was the first instance of an enemy of ffcer being taken prisoner by the Americans and also the first occasion upon which an American officer had captured either an enemy officer or a soldier in this sector.

It is reported in Petrograd that banks have been reopened the prop erty of landlords restored and other conditions approaching the old regime revived in towns occupied by the Ger mans.
 Petrograd was calm and orderly to- day regardless of the presence of German troops at Narva, near the capital, and evidences on all sides of the removal of war supplies.
 To a gathering of worlxmen's and soldiers delegates in Moscow on Monday M. Prokrovsky, leader Of the second peace delegation in Brest-Li- tovsk, explained the treaty with the democratic revolution not to deceive themselves.

ARMS TICE FORGED ON
 RUMAN|A Fortnight Truce Until Peace Pact is Signed
 or Rejected. KAISER HAS NOT
 PICKED NEW KING King Ferdinand's Broth CT, a Hohenzollern, May Take Throne.

Amsterdam, March 7 - The preliminary peace treaty sign ed on Tuesday evening in Buff tea, says a dispatch from Bu- charest, stipulated that the armistice between Rumania and the Central powers should run for A. days from midnight of March 5 with a period of three days for denunciation. Complete agreement as reach ed between the signatrries that the final peace should be con cluded within this period on the basis of the preliminary treaty.
 Premier von SeydIer, in announc- ing the signing of a preliminary peace treaty with Rumania in the Austrian lower house, said:
 Permit me sincerely to congratu- late the house that by the military and political cooperation of Austria | Hungary with it's faithful allies this fresh and important stage on the road to general peace has been reached The statement was greeted with l prolonged cheering.
 The dynastic question in RumaniG 1 is an internal one. This declaration was made by Baron von dem Bussche l Haddenhausen, under secretary fol foreign affairs, in the reichstag in re 1 ply to observations by other speaker regarding the future of the Rumanial | throne.
 | It had been reported from severa sources that Prince William of Ho henzollern, brother of King Ferdinand of Rumania, was to succeed Ferdinant on the Rumanian throne. The pre- liminary peace treaty between Ru mania and the Central powers, how ever, makes no mention of any pro posed change in the ,Rumanian dyn asty.

 MAY CHARGE WAR TAX ON 'SUB' RUNS

According to official advices receiv- ed from New Haven, the Connecticut Company has started collecting the war tax of three cents on their inter burban trolley line between New Ha- ven and Waterbury. When seen to- day officials of the Bridgeport division stated that they have received no or ders affecting the lines out of this city and knew nothing of the New Haven and Waterbury rule other than by hearsay.
 From what can be learned locally there is no immediate prospect of the Connecticut Company collecting any tax from passengers travelling to towns surrounding Bridgeport, but if the fare exceeds 35 cents there is a req sonable chance of the tax being col lected sometime in the future. When this rule will go into effect officials of the company did not know and up to this time they have received no notification regarding the matter from any source.

COAL RECEIPTS HAVE SLUMPED
 SINCE SUNDAY

The Bridgeport coal situation con- tinues on the downward slope. No shipments have been received in the city since Sunday. While enough is on hand to supply the immediate need & for domestic requirements, the indus trial situation is again assuming ser ious proportions. Reason for non- shipments is not explained to the fuel committee.
 Shipments aggregating 10000 tons arriving last Saturday and Sunday led officials and factory heads to believe that regular arrivals would continue because of the improved water traffic. It was reported this afternoon that five barges of soft coal were tied to the stakeboat in the local harbor, but it was not known whether or not they were consigned for Bridgeport con- sumption.
 Fuel Administrator Carl F. Siemon has returned from three days trip to Boston and Brockton and reports conditions are much better here than in the Massachusetts cities.

FRANCIS HOUSED
 IN VOLOGDA CLUB

Washington, March 7-Ambassador Francis reporting to the state depart ment under date of March A. said he was temporarily quartered with the Siamese and Brazilian diplomats in a club house placed at their disposal by the mayor of Vologda. He added that a few of the Red Cross and publicity workers were still in Petrograd.
 The state department was without advices of the ambassadors intention to leave Vologda, but 1t was pointed out that any move was dependent on his own judgment, although it was not expected that he would leave Rus sian territory.
 A dispatch to the state department from Sweden said that the British charge d'affaires accompanied by eight members of the staff had left Hell singfors on March for Sweden.

LAW BACKS UP
 JELLICOE MOVE

London, March 7.-Whether Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, was right or wrong in dismissing Ad- miral Jellicoe from the post of first sea lord, he had done what he regard ed as best in the interest of the coun- try, Andrew Bonar Law declared in the house of commons last night, as spokesman for the government, in re- ply to criticisms of the first lords ac- tion. He added:
 "The premier has assured me pri- vately that he had absolutely nothing to do with anything that has appeared in the press regarding Admiral Jel- licoe, and that the suggestion was en- tirely unfounded that any member of the government, either the premier
 or Sir Eric Geddes, had taken such a despicable course"

He is a member of the Board of Contract and Supply and president of the Board of Apportionment. Neither of these jobs have a salary attached. He is also treasurer of the Republican Town Committee. In private life he is business man, being the principal owner of the Blue Ribbon Garage Co.
 But a glance over the reports of the Finance committee that were ap proved by the Common Council will show that in Il months Dec. 4, 1916 to Nov. 5, 1917-the admin istration, or rather the city, is one of Seeley's best customers. During that period the city spent something like $14,763.5S at Seeley's garage.
 Seeley placed his brother in the tax commissioners office and his son, w Parker Seeley, is drawing $2.500 a year from the city treasury for his services as assistant city attorney.
