SMILEAGE BOOKS FOR BRIDGEPORT
 BOYS AT. CAMP War Bureau Committee Meets to Plan for Sale
 of Theatre Coupons. BUSINESS HOUSES WILL COOPERATE Will Give Men Opportunity to Witness High Class
 Entertainments.

Plenty of amusement for Bridgeport boys at the various cantonments in the United States will be afforded if the campaign for the sale of Smile age" books goes over the top in this city. A committee of the Bridgeport war bureau met yesterday at The Stratfield hotel, to discuss the plans for the sale of the books here. An extensive campaign will not be waged but the books, containing 20 coupons, good for 20 admissions to the /lrious entertainments held in the Liberty theatres at camps, will be placed on sale in the various stores and busi- ness places of the city.
 The theatre managers will be ask ed to place the books on sale at their box offices, where the public may pur- chase them to send to the boys in camp. A few of the books have been sold in Bridgeport since they were re- ceived here a few days ago. The first one was sold at the Bridgeport War Bureau office a few hours after they were unpacked.
 The Smileage book campaign is a new one for Bridgeport but not for the United States. Several cities in Con- necticut have already held campaigns for sale of the books and nearly all have reported favorably.
 By means of a smileage book a sol dier in camp may see some of the best Broadway companies, fine vaudeville and musical programs, lectures of the highest excellence, and amateur per formances by the men themselves.
 
 attractions would be prohibitive. But as the government built the theatres and supplies the light, heat and man. ager, the overhead expenses have been reduced to a minimum. As a result the cost of these performances will range from ten cents to twenty five cents a seat.
 Many soldiers could not afford to at- tend the entertainments at even this price as some send most of their money home. It is to give the men in camp an opportunity to see the same high class performances that persons outside of camp witness. Four comedy companies have already been assigned to the camps. They are: Turn to the Right; Cheating Cheaters"; "Here Comes the Bride and Inside the Lines"
 The books are of two sizes, t"nse containing twenty coupons sell for one dollar while a larger book with JOG coupons attached sell for five dollars
 Each coupon is good for one ad- mission to a Liberty theatre.
 As gifts these smileage books will have rather distinctive oh Iracter Each time the soldier tears coupons from his book he will renew his sense of attention frorI the sender. Every book will constitute a cu::en' of in terest between the man at the iron and the folks back home. Often, 0. course, one soldier will receive many books, and then he will do the thing which is characteristic of the Amer ican soldier throughouG our history be will share his abundance with hi! mates.
 The result will be to change a dan ger period in the life into period O. healthfuI relaxation and 'efreshment

stltution's sails were again filled and
 as she shot ahead, two broadsides were sent into the stern of the IIevant
 The Cyane then took the brunt of the fighting and the Levant withdrew to make repairs. The Cyane attempted to get away, but the Constitution wore short around and gave her a raking fire over the stern. In a few minutes, exactly 40 minutes from the time the first broadside was fired, the Cyane struck.
 Captain Stewart then went in pur- suit of the Levant, as he passed sent a broadside into her, then swung around and raked her. When the Le- want discovered the Cyane had sur rendered, she attempted to escape Her wheel had been shot away and her
 masts badly damaged, and within a
 half hour she surrendered.
 On her way home with her prizes the Constitution was chased bya Bri-
 tish fleet and the Levant was recap tured, but the Cyane was landed safe- ly in New York and was finally taken into the American service.
 The Constitution's arrival at New
 York, after her last great fight, was heralded with great joy. Captain Stewart was awarded a sword of honor and gold medal by Congress. The coEors of the Cyane and Levant were preserved and are still precious relics at the Naval Institute at Annapolis.
 The battle between the Constitution and Cyane and Levant proved the won derful skill of Captain Stewart in maneuvering his ship. It was consld- cred difficult task even in a fight
 between two ships to avoid a raking fire, and it was avoided only by con- stant watching of the movements of the enemy ship and meeting each move. It was all the more remark able, then, that Captain Stewart man. aged to avoid a raking fire from two ships and at the same time sent into each the disastrous fire he avoided. The skill of Captain Stewart ih this
 battle became one of the famous chap ters of history and even yet is studied
 and discussed among nautical men. Captain Stewart spent many years in naval service, at last reaching the
 rank of rear admiral.

NEW KIND OF EGG
 FOR EASTER NEST

A new kind of egg for the Easter nest is on the market for parents to buy this year. It is a Thrift Stamp.
 The Connecticut War Savings Com mittee has decided to urge parents to buy this new kind of Easter pres ent for their children and instill in their minds the necessity of adding to the nest egg through saving pennies and buying thrift stamps as one of the ways they can aid in winning the war. Not only will the children be aiding in this way" the state commit tee suggests, "but the example set by them in saving their pennies will have it's effect upon more mature minds Thrift Stamps may also be sent as Easter Greetings to take the place of the usual card, thus combining the pa triotic with the religious spirit of the day."

SOCIALISTS DECLARE
 SUB WAR DEAD ONE

ZURICH.-The Vienna Socialist organ Arbeiter Zeitung says: "The Pan-German shriekers and their spiritual allies in Austria-Hungary are continually declaring that the starvation of Great Britain is a mathematical certainty and publish ing mendacious despatches about the injurious effects of unrestricted submarine warfare.
 "The London correspondent of the Amsterdam Handelsblad, how ever, says that the food situation in Great Britain grows constantly better and gives no occasion for anxiety. This shows that there is no chance of starving Great Britain any more than there is any pros pect of her military overthrow.
 "There remains only the hope of an understanding Therefore, the more unwarranted is every political step which renders this more diff cult, whether taken by the Central Powers or by their allies"

PENNSYLVANIA SALOONS
 TO CLOSE NEXT JUNE

PHILADELPHIA.-Practically a dry Pennsylvania is looked for some time in advance of July 1, 1919, the date set for national wartime prohibition. In Philadelphia the license to sell liquor expires on June l. The privilege costs nearly S12OO and the authorities do not anticipate that many saloon keepers will care to pay that much for the privilege of dispensing liquor for one month.
 Similarly in the interior towns, where the present licenses expire on April l, the feeling prevails that few liquor sellers will feel that they can afford to pay more than $500 for the three months privilege.

OFFICIAL DATE OF
 FREEzE-UP IS SET

According to the weather statis- tics compiled by the weather observ- ation station at Nenana, the Panama river froze over opposite town and up to the mouth of the Nenana river on October 25, when crossing over on the ice was possible.
 Slush ice was first noticed in the Nenana river on October 15, and three days later it was running heavy with ice. Ice in the Panama was reported below the mouth of the Kantishna and also below the mouth of Wood river on October 15, but except for a little shore ice in the mornings, no ice was noticed in the Panama opposite town until October 18th.
 The next day there was a heavy run of ice in the Panama and the river in the vicinity of the mission was almost frozen over on the 21st On October 22nd an ice jam formed at the bend near the mission and consequently the Panama river was clear of ice from that point down to the mouth of the Nenana river The jam at the mission, howevr, did not hold very long, and the ice coming down after it broke began to gather and adhere and form a large floe. which on October 25th extended clear across the river from above the mouth of the Nenana river to the mission with a narrow streak of running water near the l farther shore for a part of the dis tance. On the 18th, which is taken as the official date of the freezeup, a few people are reported to have crossed over on the ice
