JOHN PULLMAN
 RETIRES FROM BUSINESS AT 70
(Continued From Page One.N

(Continued From Page One.)
 MT. Cullinan withdraws from ac- tive business on account of his ad- vancing years. He has been for aI- most fifty years engaged in the un- dertaking business in Bridgeport and feels that the time has come in his life when he should retire from ac- tive business cares. He is the vet eran undertaken of the state and is one of the best known business men of the city. MT. Buckley leaves the undertaking business because other interests, in which he has engaged,
 The retirement of John CuIlinan at the age of seventy eight years, re- moves from the business life of Bridgeport one of its oldest and most active members. His name has been established and widely known in the undertaking line. Since 1869 he has been continuously In the under taking business. During that long period his business has called him into the homes of nearly all the fam flies of Irish blood or extraction who have resided for any length of time in this community. He has directed thousands of funerals during his long career as an undertaken and is per haps as widely known as any man in Bridgeport. He has become known. not only through his work as a fu- neral director, but through his vari- ous activities along many lines.
 MT. Cuilinan was born in Ireland in 1R1n thic +1-1, in 1850, when a boy ten years old. Most of his early years were spent in Springfield, Mass. He removed to this city, to make it his residence in 1869. During nearly his entire residence in Bridgeport, he has been a prominent and leading member of the Irish organizations and Catholic societies. Although he was child when he left his native land, he has always maintained a sincere and gen. erous interest in the welfare of Ire land. Every movement or effort designed for the benefit of the Irish people has received his support and active aid.
 In 1875, he formed a partttnership with William r. Bishop and for years the firm was known as Bishop 6 Gull linan, and became one of the most prominent business houses in it's line in New England. In 1882, thac partnership was dissolved and MT. Cullinan continued his business alone, until he formed a partnership with Frederick c. Mullins in 1899.
 Since then he has continued his business with MT. Mullins and the firm was known as Cullinan & Null lins, until little over a year ago, when William S. Buckley was made member Of the partnership.

have paid small price in blood and suffering as compared with our AL lies, to come forward as the attorney for the chief malefactor. This will undoubtedly be the overwhelming belief of the American people, and it is to be sincerely hoped that Solf's mischievous propaganda may speedily be discontinued because of it's lack of effect among us."
 Germany Not to Be Trusted.
 Alton T. Miner of New London, president of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman of the Commercial Economy Division of the Defense Council, said everything that came out, of Germany should be weighed carefully so that justice tempered with mercy might be done.
 Tt is the duty of the United States to maintain after the war the same high 1ofty ideals as those with which she entered the war;" said MT. Miner. If that purpose is main tained and lived up to, no insidious German propaganda can take root in our country, and the extension of this policy would prevent German power from making further mischief in the world if Germany so chose"
 Expects Acts COndoned. Germany misinterpreted President Wilson's desire for negotiations IS representing a predominating sentt- ment in this country of charity to- ward her past outrages," said former Lieutenant Governor Everett J. Lake, whoa recently returned from several months at the front as a Y. M. c. A. worker. sThere is not only danger | of further propaganda, but there is | absolute certainty of it, not only to stir up Bolshevism, but strife of any 1 kind. There has been no change in i the German mind or soul, and we will find her as treacherous in her peace negotiations as she was in her meth l ods of warfare Her reform as 3 nation will depend upon whether hel conquerors leave witahin her border! an armed force long enough to com pei her to learn and pursue new civilization.
 E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown president of the Manufacturers As sociation of Connecticut, said ht thought the influence of Dr. Solf'! propaganda should certainly be com batted in all justifiable ways.
 Punishment for Crimes.
 "I think the attitude of the repre- sentatives of the United States at tht peace council should be the same a that of the Allies to impose just pun ishment upon Germany for her of lenses, so that even Germany vii understand that crime brings punish ment," said MT. Hubbard. T thinl that the United States, while sittinf at the Peace Council, should realiz; that, notwithstanding the tremend ous help which came from her at critical moment during the war nevertheless Belgium, France, Eng land and Italy, having been on th' ground and having been directly af fected, have a much more compre hensive knowledge of the condition existing throughout the war than thu United States could possibly have.

STEPS 70 COMBAT PROPAGANDA OF DR, SOLF ARE BEING TAKEN BY
 DEFENSE COUNCILS OF J. s.

Hartford, Dec. 7-"Dr. Solf real izes that the only quarter on earth from which Germany may expect sympathy is a certain sentimental and misguided element in the United States" declared Governor Holcomb when his attention was called today to the campaign instituted by the Connecticut State Council of Defense to combat the propaganda instituted by the German Foreign Minister af ter the signing of the arnistice.
 ''The real object of Dr. Solfs whining notes is to ahenate the American people from the Entente." the governor said. "Solf hopes to secure peace terms which will leave Germany strong enough to start a future war for world conquest. At the peace table we should not think of revenge; none of the Allies will do that, but, when framing the peace terms, the United States should re- member Germanys crimes. We may rest assured that France, Eng land and Italy need no reminder to do this, for they are the ones who have really suffered.
 "Germany's recent flood of world wide propaganda proves that her power for deviltry is not yet crush ed. Let us not be duped by Solf's appealing phrases. Let us, rather, resolve that a united America shall endorse the Allied demand that the peace terms make Germany incapa- ble of future mischief"
 Posters Issue Warnings.
 To combat the Solf propaganda the Defense Council has issued a large | poster headed Stand Fast America, Beware of the Soft PedaP' and a leafet bearing the message, Justice, | but no Flowers" The clergy and woman's clubs of the state have been asked to point out the dangers at tending the Solf propaganda, and all | supervisors of schools have been asked to request the teachers under their Jurisdiction to explain to the children the significance of Solf's notes. These agencies have beer provided for their convenience witE a leaflet containing a digest of all o1 the German Foreign Ministers notes
 "Dr. Solf not long ago was quite outspoken as to what Germany mus have in the way of peace condition: in order to insure her proper devel | opment," said Richard M. Bissell chairman of the. Connecticut Stat' l Council of Defense.
 Solf Appeals to U. S.
 "The armistice makes a realization of any of those conditions entirely ou of the question, and to a man O Solfs express beliefs the condition of the armistice must be very dis | tasteful indeed. With true German persistence, therefore, he tries to SC, if they cannot in some way be al tered. Naturally his German psy chology makes him believe that tn Americans, who have suffered leas of all people in the war, and who arr notoriously sentimental and sympa thetic, can be prevailed upon to inter cede on behalf of the Germans fo softer terms. Of course, this is il reality q very good reason why Amer ica should not move in this matter It is not for us who came into tn war during it's last stages, and wh'

his sterling American citizenship have been his most marked characteristics. MT. Cullinan is to be congratulated upon his long, honorable and useful life. In retiring from active business he has the best wishes of numerous friends for many years more of Q useful and happy life. He resides at 819 State street with his daughter Mrs. Catherine Sullivan, who, until little over a year ago, had been for many years a teacher of Latin in the Bridgeport High school and with his daughter, Miss Ellen Cullinan. He is the father of the attorneys con- stituting the law firm of Cullinan 6 Cullinan, that is, John J. Cullinan and Thomas M. Cullinan.
 MT. Mullins is perhaps as well known and popular as any man in Bridgeport For years he served in public office as city clerk and in 1899 he voluntarily withdrew from politics to enter the undertaking business.
 Thomas Scott, who is also to be- come one of the firm, has been as sociated with Cullinan A& Mullins for ttIl years lie mas been Tn the un- dertaking business for twenty-five years. He is a son of the late Thomas Scott of Hartford. of the old and well known Hartford undertaking firm of Scott 6 Smith He is t skilled embalmer and during his res idence in Bridgeport he has estab- lished himself as a competent and popular funeral director
 The youngest man of the new part nership will be J. Leo Redgate. the son of John H. Redgate, superinter- dent of police. He has spent his life in Bridgeport and is widely and popularly known. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and Philip Sheriden Fourth Degree Assembly. For four years he has been with The Remington Arms -Ca. in the capacity of paymaster. His numerous friends are confident that the undertaking field is a branch of business in which he is destined to bg- successful. sor

 A discrepancy of about 100, 900 in the number of wounded concerns chiefly men not seriously wounded MT. Baker explained, and much of the delay in these cases may be due to the fact that these names have been forwarded by courier from France tn- stead of by cable.

 ''The foregoing statement does not cover all the discrepancies, as will be seen, but in dealing with so great a number of cases it may. be assumed that the remainder are in process of checking, either in the central records office in France or in the office of the Adjutant-General in Washington and that reports as to all identifabIe cas- ualties will be reported within few days"
