HEALTH OFFICER
 DENIES CREATION | OF NEW POSITION
E. T. W. Harden Valuable to Department But Not
 Educational Director.

Surprise was exhibited in news paper circles today when 1t was ru- mored that the position of educational director had been created in connec- ton with the Department of Health of this city. In fact it was that 'E. T. w. Harden is Educational Director, Department of Health, Bridgeport" Believing that the public should have knowledge of the new position, rep resentative of The Times got in touch with Health Officer Dr. WalteE H. Brown.
 When asked for information in re- gard to the new position held by MT. Harden, Dr. Brown appeared skeptical and, although he said he knew the gentleman the doctor acted as if he thought someone was trying to play joke on him.
 The health officer when assured that it was no joke said: Yes, know MT. Harden and he has done some very effective work for the health department, especially during the recent epidemic of Spanish inf1u- ehAd' MI I1dA ueH dIIdHSeu 1or the printing of posters in foreign Ian guages, advising foreigners how to protect themselves and otheEs, and did other valuable work. I did give him permission to have cards printed but I never gave him the title of | Educational Director, and there has | been no such position created in con-
 nection with the health department l MT Harden has not been of ny pay
 roll, although he did receive remun- ! eration for his services during the epi. demic. He will prove valuable in the | AmericaniZation movement that is or foot, in educating the foreign ele
 ments along health lines, but thi!
 work will be voluntary and he vii
 not be paid for it."

Do you like melodrama? The real old Drury Lane brand filled to the brim with stirring action, suspense and genuine thrill? Who doesn't? If you do, you should not fail to see Sporting Life" Maurice Tourneur's superb picturization of the famous Drury Lane success of 20 years ago which will be shown at Polls theatre today.
 Just as in the days when the vivid melodramas thrilled young and old alike, the picturizations of the more famous of these thrillers is rousing popular interest to a high degree of intensity. When MT. Tourneur began work on Sporting Life" as his first offering as an independent producer, he gave orders that no expense should be spared to make the >photoplay a distinct work of art, and that his wis | dom was appreciated by the public was demonstrated on it's presentation | in a New York theatre on September 15, 1918, when it was acclaimed one of the best photo productions made in years.
 Aside from the interest of the story, the scenes of Sporting Life" are un- usually massive and interesting. These include a gypsy camp, a prize ring contest in the National Sporting club
 in London, racing stable, battle on
 a dismantled ferry boat, the rescue of
 a sto1on horse from the celler of a tenement, and finally, view of the Derby at Epson, showing the Kings box

DEFENSE COUNCIL WILL CONTINUE
 FOR SOME TIME

Hartford, Dec. 5.---Many of the or ganizations throughout the country from the War Industries Board down which were called into being by the war are either winding up their af- fairs and going out of existence or are greatly curtatling their activities.
 Yesterday Governor Holcomb was asked whether or not in his opinion the time had come for the Connecti- cut State Council of Defense to go out of business and expressed himself to the effect that in view of the many problems to be solved in an indus tiral State like Connecticut during the period of reaijustment and demobi- lization and because several of the activities which the Council has in- stituted ought to be carried along at least until such time as the legislature can pass upon them he did not believe the time had come when the organi- zation could be well dispensed with In his opinion the complete organiza- tion which the Council has effected throughout the State possesses possi- bilities of too great value to be sum- marily discontinued the moment ac- tual hostilities have ceased. In fur
 
 Governor made the following state ment:
 A Tt is true an armistice has been Signed but we still face a critical con- dition and peace is a bong way off. The solution of the many perplexing problems which are likely to arise in Connecticut during the coming months may require the work of such a body as the Council with it's local organizations in every town in the State. There are also certain under takings which have been carried on by the Council which cannot at this time be allowed to lapse, such as the work of the Councils Food Committee and the institution of Americaniza- tion on a statewide scale. There are also likely to be certain duties inn posed upon the communities by the return of a great number of our sol diers from abroad and from the can tonments during the weeks to come which will need to be provided for
 '"TIe Council is winding up it's bus mess as fast as practicable and mak- ing rapid curtailments of exnense This policy will be continued as rap. idly as possible, but until its work i. finished and disposed of in an orderly and businesslike way it is my desirf that tho members of the Council itseE and the thousands of loyal Connecti cut men and women who represen that body throughout the State sbal continue to preserve their organiza ton ready for such tasks as the i'm mediate future may put upon them" '"

Copenhagen, Dec. 5-The reply of Admiral Beatty, commander of the British Grand Fleet, to a request by Germany for mitigation of naval terms of the armistice, refuses any concession regarding merchant ship ping or fishing in the North Sea, the Berlin Wolff Bureau states.

Article XXXIII declared that no German merchant shipping should be transferred tc neutrals after the signing of the ar mistice.
