S5,OOO GRANTED FOR FIGHT ON
 GRIP PLAGUE
Dr. Brown Calls For Order. lies to Aid in Hospital
 Work on Influenza.
OPEN AIR MEETINGS
 WILL BE PERMITTED
Citizen Show Disposition to Repress, Cougher, Sneezer
 and Splitter.

An appropriation of $5,0OO has been made by the Health Board for the campaign being waged against the epidemic of Spanish influenza.
 The lack of orderlies at the Hillside hospital is a serious phase of the sit uation and any one who can act in that capacity is requested to report to the Health Board.
 Although the number of cases in the past 24 hours is increased by only 23, no let up in the fight to prevent the spread of the malady will take place. On the contrary the authorities have brisk campaign in view in addition to the program already mapped out. Yesterday morning the total num- Der of cases was 269, this morning the total was 292. One death was reported at the Hillside hospital, that of Harry Rolfe.
 The staff. of nurses has been consid- erably increased, and it is expected i that domestic nurses will make appli- cation for a chance to aid the city but i the principal need just now is for or 1 derlies to care for the male patients No applications have been received ur to the presetn and a large number is needed.
 pr. Charles Haskell and Dr.. Edward H. Monahan have volunteered to at. tend the patients at the hospital anj relieve Dr.. Walter H. Brown for out side work which must be attended tn Dr. Brown has been working nigh and day since the start of the epi demic and has so far waged a sue. cessful campaign against the spread of the disease.
 The open air meetings will not bt stopped, as the public have shown z spirit of cooperation to restrain the tougher, sneezer and splitter, whC spread germs broadcast. It has beer noted that such offenders have beer promptly rebuked, and it is expected lthat they will be elected from all pub llic gatherings, movie houses and the
 atres Dr. Brown stated that he woult
 allow places of amusement and school
 ito remain open so long as the peoplt
 showed the spirit of cooperation ant refused the violator of the rules t

OF
 JUDGE GRAY HAS
 APPROVAL OF ALL
His Designation As Federal Umpire Will Create Con-
 fidence in Local Board.

An air of optimism spread throughout industrial Bridgeport to- day, when it was announced that in all probability Judge George Gray, of Wilmington, Del, may be named to act as umpire on the Board of Media ton and Cancellation, which has been formed in Bridgeport, to settle dis putes between manufacturers and employees.
 The news was received as a, good omen for the future. Judge Gray figures in national and international affairs as a great jurist and there is not bit of doubt but that his decis- ions will be respected here as they have been in some of the biggest in- ternationaI and labor disputes during the past twenty years.
 Judge Gray was a member of the commission which arranged terms of peace between the United States and Spain after the unpleasantness of 1898. He was at the head of the commission which settled the great anthracite coal strike, and has served as arbiter in numerous other dis putes.
 Judge Gray will probably supercede Examiner Alpheus Winter as admin istrator for the National War Labor Board. It is not thought that EX- aminer Winter will retire, but rather that he will continue in his present capacity while the new board of me diation. and conciliation will take up board questions of labor and indus try beyond the scope of the present award.

1,S5O,OOO J. s. TROOPS CONvOYED SAFELY OVERSEAS Authorization Continues At Rate of More Than 25O,-
 GOO Per Month. EPIDEMIC HAS NOT
 PROVED HINDRANCE American Advance Threat ems German Communica-
 tion Line.

Washington, Oct. 5-Despite the epidemic of Spanish influenza em- barkation of American troops is being continued at the rate of more than 250,0OO per month, General March announced today. The total embark ed to date now has passed the 1,S5O,- 900 mark. The September shipments exceeded 25O,OOO although cases of influenza in camps at home exceeded 100, 1000.
 The policy of the War Department in sending overseas only men who have not had the disease and who have not been exposed to it has ne- cessitated material readjustments of the shipping schedule but has not in- terfered with the total number em- parked.
 The American advance northwest of Verdun threatens the greatest single line of communication between Germany and the west front, General March said today, and General Persh- ing's forces now have reached point within IS miles of this great artery. 1,S50,00O '. S.---2
 The progress of Pershing's forces caused the German generals staff to throw into this sector many divisions of endorsements, the chief of staff said, but despite this the Americans not only have maintained the posi- tions won, but have pushed forward until they now face the German krlemchild line of defense.
 Summarizing the news for the past week as excellent, General March said offensives conducted by the Allies or three major sectors had resulted in forward movement of the battle front for virtually the entire stretch from the North sea to Verdun. Gen eral Gourauds army west of Argonnt forest has fought forward to poin where it also threatens German com munication lines.
 The British drive on Cambrai anc St. Quentin which was aided by thu 27th New York troops and 30th (Ten nessee. North Carolina, South Caro lima, the District of Columbia troops American divisions, developed into battle for the entire Hindenburg line The British, General March said, hay, broken entirely across to enemy's zon of defense, making breaches in tn line which were closed by the Ger lhdHS OIlIy WlIh 6AGdL

The abdication Of King Ferdinand was reported in Vienna advices yes- terday received by way of Switzerland and Paris. There seems little reason to doubt the correctness of the state ment. King Ferdinand's popularity with his people has been waning rap idly since it became apparent to Bull garians that he had erred grievously in plunging the country into war on the side of the Teutonic powers. Ad- vices from the capital had indicated that before the armistice with the en- tente was signed King Ferdinand was i trembling for his throne and feared .that a revolution might upset the whole dynasty.
 ] The attitude of Prince Boris toward
 the two groups of belligerents has not
 been definitely indicated. but the ad-
 vices from Sofia have shown the Bull
 garian government so thoroughly committed to the plan of making peace with the entente that it seems
 highly unlikely any change in the tit
 ular head of the state would affect the policy of the Bulgarian leaders whe
 are engaged in carrying out the peace program.

from the fire swept ruins only by the military guards.
 Of the company's 2,OO0 night shift employed, only 101 had been definite ly accounted for. The first detona- tions shook Morgan and. surrounding territory as far as New York city, where the shock rocked houses and shattered windows in the business districts.
 Whether the 1900 unaccounted for were dead or merely had fled, it was impossible to determine. Bremen were fighting the flames, and scattered shells were exploding, and all ener- gies were devoted to averting a worse disaster. Thousands of people had hurried away from Morgan and sur rounding towns during the night leaving many communities today vir. tually without populations, and it wa: considered probable that with these

WALTER GODDARD
 FILES DAMAGE
 SUIT FOR S1,5OO

The Connecticut Company is named defendant in a suit of S1,500 damages filed in the superior court today by Walter Goddard, of Stratford. Papers in the action state that on Dec. 14, 1917, Goddard stopped his automo- bile on the corner of East Main street and Stratford avenue in order to ad- just a tire on the rear wheel of his machine. A trolley is alleged to have approached, and without signalling, coilided with the car.
 Goddard claims that the collision was caused through the recklessness and negligence of the motorman, and as a result he was severely injured, and the radiator of his car was dam aged beyond repair.

Parties of exhausted men have been struggling into the Jersey vtl- lages all night with appeals for cots for burned and mutilated employees and firemen at Morgan.
 Out of all the confusion came stor- ies of heroism and disregard of dan ger. A trainload of explosives lay on siding near the Gillespie plant. A railroad fireman, his identity not yet known, jumped to the engineers post on a locomotive, backed the engine and coupled it to the train and took the cars out of the danger zone. As his task was completed a shell struck him and he was killed. In contrast with the thousands of townspeople who fled, the wives and other relatives of employees hurried into the vicinity of the Gillespie plant and became frantic upon learning that hundreds might have been killed. Throughout the night these persons refused tc leave the scene and were kept away
