Job For Newsboy.

There is great demand in Clay
City each morning for the Lexing-
ton Herald, but since its sale on the
train has been forbidden they can
not be bought, and persons inter
ested in the war news must do
without or borrow from the sub
scribers who get their paper through
the mail. Sometimes they are car
ried by, and then we can wait until
the up train at night and get a
Leader.
The Herald should have an agent
here to supply the demand for the
news. An industrious boy could
make considerable change by selling
this morning paper here, since il
cannot be gotten at the train as
formerly.

EXPERT CHEMISTS
 WILL BE EXEMPT

Washington, Feb. 6.-Announcement has been made by the Adjutant Gen. eral of the Army that manufacturers, engaged in the production of material necessary for the prosecution of the war, who have lost the services of highly specialized chemists through the first draft and whose work has thereby been seriously handicapped, again may obtain the services of these men for war work. It also is announced that manufacturers threat ened with the loss of their trained chemists in the present draft may re- tain these men.
 Manufacturers thus affected are re- quested to apply to the chemical ser vice section, National Army, new h. terior Department Building, Washing ton, for the regulations governing the transfer of men already drafted or the possible reconsideration of men not yet called. All requests, it is declared, must come from the manufacturers. Applications from the men themselves will not be considered. Only those chemists whose services are necessary to war work will be considered and the evidence submitted by the manu- lecturers must be conclusive.
 These steps have been taken by the War Department with a view to bringing about adequate chemical con. trol of manufacturing plants engaged in the supply of war materials and tc assure that there will be no unneces- sary retarding of supplies from the successful conduct of the war.

Ambrose Promoted
 In Aviation Corps

Clayton G. Ambrose son of An thony D. Ambrose, of 1416 Fairfield avenue, has been made a lieutenant in the aviation corps connected with the Czech-Slovak army fighting on the western front in France. Young Am prose left Bridgeport with the first unit of the Czech force, Nov. 2, 1917.
 This contingent went direct to France and has been assigned a place in the firing lines. There is now an army of about 5000 Czechs and Slo- walks from America on the western front fighting with the Allies, and an army of about S0,O00 fighting against Austria on the eastern front. Bridge port sent a large representation in the first contingent leaving this country, and others have since been sent for ward.
 Young Ambrose was well known here and his friends will be pleased at the news he has been given a commission in the aviation section.

ENEMY ONCE SERVED
 ITALY'S KING

Up to noon today the squad of men under the direction of Assistant Su- perlntendent of Police Suckley had registered 27O German aliens The work is going along without a hitch day and night at the rate of about one hundred and fifty per day. The Germans who come to headquarters to be registered are received with the utmost courtesy and every help is given them in the filling out of the blanks.
 Lists of names are not to be given out by the police who have received definite instructions to that end from Washington. This measure is to pre- vent any embarrassment to the alien enemies and to prevent as far as pos sible any attempt at German-baiting
 Among the cases V nich came to the notice Of the police today was that of George A. Vact, eighty years old, who on account of illness and old age is unable to leave his home at .571 Lafayette street. While his children have all been born in the United States, he has never taken out naturalization papers and is listed as an alien enemy. A policeman will be sent to his home to take his finger prints, as this is imperative in order that the orders from Washington may be complied with to the letter.
 Another case that was brought to the notice of the authorities was th2t l of Albert Paul Rinck, a German who has resided in England for IS years. He married an Englishwoman and his son. Albert Paul Rinck. Jr.. was born at Brighton, England. He came to this country nearly five years ago, and, of course, is included in the list of enemy aliens His son, however, is held to be an English subject and ex- empt from registration
 One of the most peculiar cases was that of Victor Darin, of 127 Alice street, Bridgeport, whose parents were Italians. He was born in Italy, but his parents moved to Germany and his father became German sub- ject. Later they moved back to Italy and Victor was conscripted to serve his time in the Italian army. After he had served his time he came to this country, but is still held to be a Ger ] man and as such was registered today l as an enemy alien.

NATURALIZATION . COURT HOLDS UP 43 APPLICATIONS
Former Turkish Subject Among Petitioners Who
 Get Final Papers.

New citizens of the United States are being rapidly made in the Super for Court, the list growing with the examinations before Judge William M. Maltbie today. Allan W. Church of Boston, is the examining attorney and asks searching questions as to the knowledge of the applicants regard ing the government of the United States. Where a general knowledge is shown he is lenient and makes little objection to admission.
 During the session yesterday 3S new citizens were made out of 81 pe- titioners examined. Of those not ad- mitted nine were continued for fur ther study, one because his witnesses had not known him for the necessary five years, and the remainder be- cause they were subjects of some of the countries with which the United | States is at war. There are about 2S0 new applications, and about 100 continued from previous sessions. Samuel Shannon, born in Ireland, and who came to Bridgeport in 1910, was the first to be admitted today. i All of his answers were satisfactory. Another admitted was Artin Nego- sian, born in Turkey, but resident of Bridgeport for the last eight years Negosian is a Christian, is a support CT of the Allies in the present war and does not believe in polygamy Ten candidates were examined in the first hour of whom seven were ad' mitted and the remaining three, borr l in Austria, were continued until the end of the war.
 When Clerk F. W. Tracy admilis' tered the oath of citizenship he ask ed Negosian who is Sultan of Turkey but Negosian could not answer. He was perfectly willing to accept Tracy: statement that Mehmen V. is Emperor of all the Ottomans.
 Wincenty Surel, a Russian, wal asked to forswear allegiance to ''tht | present government of Russia" in 1 stead of Nicholas IL, the former Elm Iperor, when he took oath of allegiance During the morning session 4S can E-didates were examined, of whom 2f were admitted. Of the remainder z few were turned back for further study, one because his witness did no 7 know him a sufficient length of time and the others because they are sub
 jects of enemy countries and canno
 be admitted during the war.
 One of the successful candidate } was Charles Joseph McNulty, who ap l peared wearing the uniform of tn
 National army. He is training a ! NT11If
 Scotland, but has resided in Bridge
 port for a number of years. He wa admitted to full citizenship.
