AMBUL LANCE FUND TO BE RAISED BY
 NOVEL MET HOD
Mammoth Loaf of Bread Will Be in Parade, Then Sold at Exercises in Sea- side Park.

The largest loaf of bread ever seen in the city of Bridgeport will be in the Labor Day parade. It is to be ex- hibited by the Jewish Bakers local union, No. 10, and will be placed in the window of the Bridgeport Furnl- ture Co.'S store on Main street. The mammoth loaf was baked at L. Baumrind's bakeshop on Pembroke street and contains about a barrel of flour, and weighs about 800 pounds. The local union expect to cut 1t in pieces at the Labor Day exercises to be held in Seaside park, and the funds so collected will go to the ambulance fund of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, who are trying to raise funds for the purchase of an ambulance for war purposes, by many new and novel methods.
 The loaf will be placed on float during> the parade and will afterwards be taken to Seaside Park.

JAIL PRISONERS CONTRACTEDOUT
 TO INDUSTRIES
Highway Commissioner Dis pleased Because They Are
 Not Working on Roads.

The highway commissioner, Charles J. Bennett. has expressed his disap- pointment at the action of the Fair field county authorities in reducing the number of prisoners at work on the highways. This is because at the present time there is no contract for such work. About 50 men are needed but just now only 3S are available, and these are employed at the Bridgeport Electric Light Co.,, the City Ice & Coal Co.,, and at the Naugatuck Valley Ice Co. The prisoners get soc a day bonus for their work. This has yield ed about s1O,o00 net this year, while in previous years, under contract only S2,000 was netted.
 The cooperation of the people in this plan is urged, as the new system is found to be to the advantage both to the prisoner and the city.

LUCILIO VANINI

The first prominent atheist of mod ern Europe, Lucille Vanini,was burned for his heresy at Toulouse, France, 29S years ago today. In ancient times unbelief in the existence of a deity had been taught by Lucretius, Epicu- rus, and other philosophers. Follow ing the death of Vanini, atheism had no prominent teacher until Spinoza. Matthias Knutzen, of Holstein. began preaching atheism in the latter part of the seventeenth century and gained thousands of followers. Bradlaugh of England was perhaps the greatest atheist of the last century, while ag- nosticism had distinguished teachers in Herbert Spencer, Huxley, Ingersoll Haeckel and a host of other scientists philosophers and orators.

ALLIES DEFEAT REDS
 ON SIBERIAN FRONT

Vladivostok, Aug. 30-The enemy in considerable numbers attacked desperately along the Ussuri river front last Saturday. All the Allied forces participated in the fighting ex- cept the Americans. Upwards of 300 of the enemy were killed.
 The Japanese bore the brunt of the fighting. They captured two armored trains and several field guns.
 According to a wounded Czech, the Japanese, infuriated by finding muti- lated comrades on the battlefield, charged and routed the enemy in the face of.heavy machine gun and rifle fire.
 The Japanese report that the Allied troops are advancing steadily.
 Entente. Allied, and Czecho- -Slovak patrols yesterday succeeded n u1s- armin5 all the Russian volunteers who had revolted and had gone over to Lieut. Gen. Horvath, the anti Bolshevist military leader in Eastern Siberia.
 After a discussion lasting an hour the Council of Commanders present. ed an ultimatum to the troops in re- | volt who numbered 400. They were told they could return to the ale | glance of General Tolstoff, thereby restoring the status quo; join General l Semenoff's forces in Manchuria, or submit to disarmament. Last night the Entente allied and Czecho-Slovak patrols appeared ir 1 the streets in the vicinity of the bar | racks and virtually besieged the rev
 olutionaries The latter apparently l had been warned, and they closed their doors to the allied emissaries
 and refused to treat with them fol hours.
 Eventually, however, they submit
 ted to disarmament without violence
 Thus an intolerable situation prom ising local disturbances was ended.
