Still another victory has been added to the long trail of glory bazed by the Allied armies The Laon plateau at last has been won cpownng the Cambrai-S Quentin and Cham paigne -ofensves.
 The manoeuvres skilfuy elaborated by Marshal Foch and ably carried out by Field Marshal Hag and General Pean enabled this great acheveme mt to be accepted with out the loss inseperabe from direct attack
 The result is nothing less than the ruin of the entire de- systems built mp the German general staff since 1914, for the cornerstone of it the Laon plateau
 It the Laon plateau that the German line piv oed to turn that the oensives of 1915 and 1916 carried out It against that the campaign of 191 was premaurey broken It from it that the sixth great drive of toward Paris started Its fall is the total liberation of France.
 The French after occupying Laon, have pressed on until their line from the Disc river above La Fere to the eastern end of Chemin des Danes

INFLUENZA GAINS; 252 NEW CASES OVER WEEK END Dr. Brown Says Indications Point to Large Number
 of Gases Today. EXPECT EPIDEMIC TO HIT APEX SATURDAY No Closing At Present Sanitary Inspectors to
 Watch Restaurants.

Every indication points to a further gain in the influenza epidemic in the city of Bridge port. Health Officer Dr. Walter H. Brown said today that the apex of the disease would prob ably be reached here by Satur- day of this week and that in the meantime the health authori- ties with the aid of the Red Cross are fighting tooth and nail to keep the fatal spread within bounds.
 Reports received by the Health De- partment for the past AS hours and up until o'clock this morning show that there have been 252 additinal cases here. The total number of suf- ferers in Bridgeport now number 1,235. While the report for Satur- day and Sunday does not show an alarming increase in the number of cases, the deathcases, the death rate took a decided jump over the week end, IA deaths having been recorded

ever be launched.
 Work is now being done under the direction of competent federal man. agement. The officers of the Hous- atomic Shipbuilding company have nothing whatsoever to do with the direction of the work
 It will be remembered there was to have been a launching at the Hous- atomic ward away last summer. The affair was postponed from day to day and finally was postponed indefinite ly. Rumors began to fly that the work of ship building was being directed
 by prize fighters. baseball players, cab drivers, walters and others recruited from a sporting or a semi-sporting fraternity.
 When the Housatonic Shipbuilding company was formed it was capital ized at $1O0,000 of which Simon Lake,
 the inventor of the submarine boat, put up $50, coo. The other half of the capital was evenly divided between Kenneth w. McNen and Archibald McNen, Jr., each having an interest to the extent of s25000.
 It is understood government will manage the plant until the work be- i ing done under contract is finished.
 Theer are eight ships contracted for. l Only four of them are on the ways
 The boats under construction are about 50 per cent. e onpleted It is doubtful whether they will be launched ] this year.

LANE TELLS REASON FOR
 GOVERNMENTS TAKING
 OVER HOUSATONIC YARD

Charles H. Lane, representing the Department of Justice in Bridgeport, related for public information, today, the conditions, discovered through Federal investigation, which caused government to take over the Hous- atomic Shipbuilding Company.
 The investigation was precipitated by delays in the work, and by public, rumor that the place was a shelter for prize fighters, baseball players, cab drivers. walters and others re- cruited from the sporting fraternity.
 Officials of the comapny are barred from directing the work on the four wooden ships now building.
 MT. Lane said:
 This department made an eXhaus- tive inquiry into the management of the property some time ago and it gation that the property was taken over by the government. It will be run by federal agents, until work be- ing done for the government is satis- factorily completed
 Our agents found things were in in a chaotic state. There were few facilities for sh:pburding, while the work is being directed in a most in competent manner. Work on the four done in such a happy go-lucky man. ner that it is doubtful, if matters con , tAnued as they were, if the ships would

PRETENDED SWISS
 IS GERMAN ALIEN

Otto Piendl, residing at No. 1S7 Cap itol avenue. and employed in a local market. has been taken into custody for violating the proclamation of the President of the United States.
 Piendl has asserted to all his asso- ciates that he was a Swiss subject; and has been entering all areas in Bridgeport with impunity. A local Department of Justice agent who cas- ually met Piendl was impressed with his German appearance, and made quiet investigation into Piendrs past history. This resulted into finding that he was a German alien but had never registered as such, nor com piled with any of the other necessary regulations He was then arrested and will undoubtedly be interned.

 The machine, a biplane, was re- turning from target practice over the Atlantic ocean.
