ROBBERY AT THE PUBLIC MARKET SOLVED BY BRAY Arrest of Two Boys With More Money Than Usual
 Brings a Confession. YOUTHFUL PAIR TO
 BECOME BANDITS Purchased Guns and Am munition and Then Visit
 ed Savin Rock.

The mystery surrounding the rob $2O0 from the cashiers cage at the Public Market, Saturday evening, was cleared up today when Detective Ser geant Bray picked up two boys, one Il and the other 14, whom he found spending more money than children usually have.
 When the youngsters were brought to police headquarters they broke down and confessed to having cut the wire of the cashiers cage with a wire cutters, last Saturday and when they had made a hole large enough to in sert hand and arm they reached over the top and grabbed the roll.
 After holding a council of war as to where they would go and how they would spend the money they decided to purchase air guns and ammunition first and then map out a trip away from Bridgeport.
 After they had bought a brace of air guns, some pocket knives, fish hooks, cigarettes, dime novels, candy and enormous quantities of ice cream they decided to go to Savin Rock. Upon arrival at the resort they pro- ceeded to spend money like deep sea sailors and took in everything that was possible from Japanese ball games to getting their horoscope read.
 They spent the money so fast and furiously that when they arrived back in Bridgeport they had only a little left and when arrested they were about all in financially.

U. s. SENATOR ). HAMLEWIS TALKS
 AT LONDON CLUB
Says No Political or Military Alliance Has Been
 Suggested.

London, Aug. 3o-There has been no proposal by England and no sug- gestion in America for a political or military alliance between the two countries, said James Hamilton Lewis, United States Senator from Illinois, at the American Luncheon Club here today.
 'I join with you," said Mir. Lewis, turning to Lord Dealing, ''in the sen- timents expressed in the speech re- gently made by you asserting that mischievous propaganda had been circulated in certain parts of the country for the purpose of embar- rassing the Allies.
 "If there shall arise any circum- stance justifying different relations than those now existing, President Woodrow Wilson and Premier David Lloyd~Gecrge will send the proposal and the reasons offered for it to the peoples of the countries. There will be no diplomatic juggling of the fates. There will be no burden to any peo- ple through secret pacts made by of ficial agents as long as Woodrow Will son is president of the United States and a democratic government is in force in Great Britain"
 Speaking on peace, Mir. Lewis said:
 T voice my opposition to my coun- try or the Allies assuming to write down the details and items as to other countries on which peace can be based. These particulars ought to be left to the peace table, there to be the free subject of negotiation. No na- tion in the Entente ought to be en- barrassed by premature or individual effort to mortgage the commissioners to specific provisions before negotia- ton. This would deprive them of the trading basis necessary to the under taking and would, as well. equip the enemy with particular claims in de- tail and he would at once be prepared with inventions to offset them"

 It was agreed by the hundreds who signed the petition to send this message to Pershing.
 ''To help you win, and win soon we propose to give Labor Day meaning true to it's name, giving without compensation five hours of our time on that national holi- day to the building of 155 milli- metre guns to shoot the Huns."

and proceeded tc spread a net around all avenues of escape. The doorman soon recovered from the effects of the vicious blow he received and also joined in the chase.
 One of the pursuers spied the man trying to conceal himself under one of the cars in the garage and imme- diately he was jumped upon by about a half dozen policemen, detectives ambulance drivers and doctors and dragged from his hiding place.
 Immediately he found himself In the clutches of the police once more he made an attempt to put up a fight, but apparently prudence got the bet ter of him and after g few futile at tempts to shake the holds on him he suffered himself to be dragged back to the lookup where he awaited the arrival of Charles H. Lane, the agent for the Department of Justice, who questioned him closely az to his past history.

, McPadden, although stunned by the force of the blow, was able to struggle to his feet and attract the attention of Court Officer Tom Ger rity, who instantly raised the alarm and instantly the entire building was alarmed.
 Lieut.. James O'Neil jumped from behind the desk and ran from the front door of the building prepared to head off the escaped prisoner should he emerge from the alleyway at the side, and Dr. Joseph F. Keegan of the Emergency hospital along with Ambulance Drivers Bert Risley and Teddy Mullins, ran from the side en- trance into the garage attached to the station. They were just in time to the vicious blow he received and also into the Franklin garage on the other ride of the police parade grounds.

 The French Third army met with greater resistance today along the line of the Somme and the Canal du Nord. The German opposition was particu- larly stout in the region of Nesles, where it was necessary to have ar tillery to reduce some positions

There were coun- ter attacks by the Germans against General Mangin's army between the Ailette and the Aisne, but these were repulsed by the French, who hold po sitions east of Pasly, which is less than two miles northwest of Soissons,
 Along the front from the Somme south to the Noyon region and thence east to the Ailette a sector which is vitally important at present, the en- emy apears to have checked the French until he can eXtricate his forces from the perilous position in the salient between the Somme and the Disc.
 Progress southeast of Arras would seem to be the most important feature of the news from the great battle. Ca nadians, it appears, slowly are ad- vancing along the Arras-Cambrai road and are widening the gap in the fam ous line to which the Germans retired eighteen months ago.
 It seems that any great additional British succeeds in this region may shatter Germany's hopes of conGucr- Ing @ OeIenSlVe campaign along tnlS front, to which, it is probable, the Germans now are hastily withdrawing.

BAN ON GASOLINE APPLIES ONLY TO
 PLEASURE RIDING
There Will Be No Restric- tion for Present on Public
 Service Vehicles.

Washington, Aug. 30---The ban on the use of gasoline on Sundays for motor vehicles and boats will apply only to pleasure riding. Fuel Admin istrator Garfield announced today He said reasonable use of gasoline-driven vehicles for necessary purposes was not intended to be prohibited.
 While taxicabs were not mentioned in the statement, it was said infor- mally that the restrictions would not prevent taxi service for necessary purposes, though there should be no hiring of cabs for pleasure riding.
 The use of pleasure automobiles on Labor day and other holidays does not come under the restrictions, in- quiries disclosed.
 No official or unofficial communica- ton has been received by the police authorities of Bridgeport regarding the relation of the jitneys to the Save Gasoline On Sunday" move fnent instituted by the fuel commits sion. No action will be taken by the traffic department until it is definitely instructed as to what course they are to adopt
 The above statement was made in the Traffic Department pf the Bridge port Police Department today when inquiries were made by scores of jit- ney owners and drivers who were afraid that the ruling made by Fuel Administrator Garfield effecting the use of automobiles on Sundays would destroy their business on Sunday which is the biggest day of the week with them.
 Inquiries have been so numerous that the police department are now in touch with the fuel commissioner in an effort to get definite data upon the subject so that they can set all doubt at rest.
 Many of the jitney men state that their entire savings are wrapped up in their business and that If they are to stop running on their biggest day then they will have to go out of bus mess as the price of tires, parts and general up-keep of a car has reached such proportions that they will have to be allowed to run on Sundays or quit altogether.
