THE MYSTERY
 OF DR DIESEL

A series of articles appearing in the Hearst papers under the name of Axel Bjornsen purports to give the exper- fences of the writer in the German ravy during several years of prepaIa = tion for the war. In the second tn- stalhnent the disappearance of Dr. Diesel In the fall of the year preced- ing the outbreak of hostiliues is ac- counted for. Having told of the build . ing even at that time of a submarine of 2000 tons displacement with a sur- face speed of 2l knots and cruising radius of 5000 miles, and how it Lay on 8 mud bank within 50 minutes run of one of the busiest ports In the British Isles and threaded its way unobserved among the trawlers of a fishing fleet. noting with the periscope every Last undersea boat was returned to port and deliberately blown up, the author says:

 We do not risk the discovery Of another of our secrets" said Stein brink, grimly, mindful, no doubt, of the papers that had been stolen from him a few months before. If the con- struction of these engines became pos sible to the English the work of all thees years would be lost"
 But what about the man who in. vented them?" l asked. ''Is it not true that he finds new capabilities for his oil engines every succeeding year?"
 He Is wonderfully clever" said Steinbrink, with his nearest approach to enthusiasm, but we have paid him well, and we watch him better. do not think anything is likely to leak out thru our dear pr. Diesel"
 My reference to pr. Diesel, the clever inventor of the remarkable en. zines which make the U-boat the ter TOT of the seas, had moro behind 1t than I was aware Of at the time.

MULTIPLIES BUT J. s, SURGEON SANDICE SEES
 HOPE FOR EARLY D|MINUTION

Two hundred and fifty new cases of Spanish influenza and 12 additional deaths, for the 24 hours ending at g o'clock this morning is the latest report on the epidemic for this city. The total number of cases to date number 3,862, with 118 deaths. The figures show 2 decline of 75 in new cases and an increase in deaths of 4, over the pre- vious days figures.
 Assistant Surgeon c. s. Sandige of the United States Public Health Ser vice, who was sent on from Washing scourge in Fairfield county, said today that from experience gained in the epidemic in this county and also in Massachusetts at the early stages, Bridgeport would, in the next few days, see a steady and definite decline Dr. Sandige said that while there may be certain days after the actual de- cline starts when the figures will take an upward bound, it would not last, and he was confident that things would clear up in Bridgeport in such a manner as to make even the most skeptfcal believe that the scourge had been finally conquered. He said that he was not making a certain predic- tion that the epidAnic was soon to depart from Bridgeport, but was only giving to the public his opinion on the matter as gained from experi-

SUPREME ARBITER.

Rome, Wednesday, Oct. 23-All th( newspapers here carry columns Of comment on President Wilson's reply to Austria. The Epoca says: "Presi- dent Wilson must be the supreme ar bitter between the Allies and their enemies" adding that America, being entirely dislnterested if an armistice should be concluded, can be consid- cred almost outside of the conflict and thus adopted for harmoninzing interests among the Allies and for ; imposing conditions upon the enemy in accordance with the fundamental principles of reorganized world.
 The Corriere d'Italia considers that the whole problem Is based upon whether the Austrian dynasty sull has time to come to an agreement with its own peoples.
 The Tribuna says Mir. Wilson's re- ply has removed the sceptre from the emperor's hand passing it into the hands of the people"

ence.
 Dr. Sandige said that from observa- ton in other cities in Fairfield coun- ty and in the state of Connecticut, he would venture to say that unless a re- Currence of the malady occurred here, Bridgeport would find that it had but 25 per cent. of the number of cases as had occurred in other Connecticut cities in comparison to it's popula ton and conditions.
 After an investigation into the ob- sences of children from school, in which a district where the greatest number were reported to be away was taken as an example, Dr. L. A. Wilkes, school medical inspector, reported to the Department of Health that while a number of the children were un- doubtedly suffering from Spanish in fuenza, the greater majority of them were able to attend school as far as their health alone was concerned.
 The situation at the Isolation hos pital continues to improve, but one trained nurse Is needed immediately for night service at that institution.
 One resident of Bridgeport, who made the request that her name be withheld, has sent a check of S25 to pr. Brown and asked that it be used in aiding sufferers of the influenza. The lady. herself is confined to her home by illness and cannot render help herself, and explains her for warding of the check to the health officer by saying that she would assist materially if able, but in lieu of that would like to assist financially.

Washington Oct. 24-No armistice except under condt tons of surrender.
 No peace with the Kaiser and his lords later
 Thus President Wilson has given in advance his fin decision in informing the pokesmen of Germany that he has acceded to their request that he take with the Allies their plea for aristce and peace negotiations The Pres dents reply to the latest German note has gone its way Berlin. It delivered to Frederick Oederin, the Swiss Charge here last night at o'clock and aerward the cables in plain English time being lost to Presidents uncompromising sentences into code.

KAISER ADDRESSES DEPUTIES AT
 ASSEMBLY; SPEECH NOT PRINTED

Paris, Oct. 24-Emperor William conferred on Monday with all mem bers of the government at length, and then harangued them in a body, says a despatch from Zurich to the Jour- nal. Thus far the German news papers have printed nothing concern ing the emperor's speech.
 The war cabinet held another long meeting on Tuesday. The address of the chancellor to the Reichstag is criticized sharply by majority of the newspapers. The extracts from the speech circulated by the Wolff Bureau, the semi official news agency, are to some extent garbled, while other passages bear so little resem- blance to what Prince Max said that they appear to have been invented.

larly outspoken. The Fraenkische Tagespost of Nuremberg, Bavaria, says the Emperor must not think the German people are going to continue the war for months to please him. If the Emperor must go,' it adds, Let him go at once"
 The correspondents reports that the Chancellor and the Pan-Germans are working actively toward the for nation of a national defense govern ment. He says a proclamation to the people exhorting them to carry on the war to the utomst has been drafted with the help of General Ludendorff, and that he understands it will be published as soon as President Will sons reply has been received. It Is expected in Berlin, the correspondent adds, that the President will not allow himself to be f1outed and ridicAed by the existing German government.
