 tenn whereby goods stolen in Bridge port are shipped to New York and vice versa.
 The discovery of more packing cases filled with loot was made to- day in the house next door to the Daley residence at 35 Courtland St., by Detective Malone, who has been detailed to the case by Captain E.. O. Cronan, chief of the detective bu- reau, and immediately the fact was made known. Captain Cronan, had the woman brought before him again with a view to having her bonds raised to a figure in proportion to the value of the goods found.
 It was hinted at police headquar- ters that while Ella Daley will not talk at the present time or give any information that would lead to the ar- rest of any of her accomplices she will talk after a little while and then startling results are looked for. It was also said that the goods which have been recovered and which the Daley woman stoutly maintains be- long. to her and were purchased in the regular way, were stolen by persons employed inside the stores, as their h bulk would make it almost an inn possibility to get them out of the store without being detected.

THREE MYSTERIES STILL PUzzLING
 POLICE OFFICERS
Body of Infant Found On Island Beach Yesterday
 No Clue of Mysteries.

Up to this afternoon nothing had been accomplished by the police which would in any way shed light upon the mystery surrounding the murder of the woman whose body was found in the harbor last Monday, the body of the man who was found drowned under Burritt's lumber dock Wednesday, or the body of the infant male child found last evening on the sand at Pleasure Beach.
 The only thing which give rise to any hope that the mystery of the murdered woman's identity will be solved is that the surrounding cities and towns have begun sending in lists of missing persons with photographs attached in many cases, but according to Captain E. O. Cronan, up to the present no description of a missing person has reached him which would in any way correspond with the nnur- dered woman.
 The discussion as to whether the man found under the dock on Wed nesday is white or colored is still go- ing on among the officials. but no clue has been found that would lead to his identity.
 The infants body which was found yesterday by John Brennan, of 259 Eagle street, caretaker of the Break water lights was according to 2 statement made by Medical Examiner s. M. Garlick, on the beach for four or five days, but nothing has been found that would in any way even hint as fo who nlaced if where if was found.

 OBSERVED IN
 PATRIOTIC WAY

Washington, June 14.---with 100000 men in France giving added signifi- canoe to the Stars and Stripes, Flag day was. observed in the United States today with a greater display of patriotism than ever before.

In all eel ebrations the fresh laurels won by American troops in the last 10 days did not pass unnoticed.

Secretary of War Baker was to preside at the meeting with Solicitor General John W. Davis as the principal speaker. It was thought likely that President Wilson would attend the exercises.

 TELEGRAPH HEADS
 TO ACCEPT AWARD

(Continued from Page One.) recognize.
 "3. Committees of employees should be recognized in presenting griev- ances.
 A. Where employees and employers fail to agree, the question in dispute should be determined by the national war labor board.
 "5. The telegraphers union should not initiate strikes or permit it's mem- bers to initiate them, but should sub- init all grievances to the national war labor board.
 q am informed that the representa- lives Of the union are willing to ac- cept this decision, but that the repre- sentatives of the telegraph companies have not accepted it.
 May I not say that in my judgment it is imperatively necessary in the na- tional interest that decisions of the national war labor board should be accepted by both parties to labor dis putes? To fail to accept them is to jeopardize the interests of the nation very seriously because it constitutes a rejection of the instrumentality set uT by the government itself for the de- termination of labor disputes, set uI with a sincere desire to arrive at jus | tice in every case and with the ex' | press purpose of safeguarding the na' ton against labor difficulties during | the continuation of the present war
 "All these circumstances beins | taken into consideration, do not heS itate to say that it is a patriotic dut! to cooperate in this all importan matter with the government by tho use of the instrumentality which thu government has set up. I, therefore write to ask that I may have you earnest cooperation in this matter as in all others, and that you will SC an example to the other employers o the country by a prompt and cordia acquieecence."

SHOWING IS GOOD.

Bridgeport's showing in the matter of physicians, members of the Bridge port Medical Society that have volun- teered for service is very good, ac- cording to Dr. c. c. Godfrey. Out of total of 14S, 27 have gone. There has been an excessive demand for the sacrifices of the physicians here. The only possible solution for replen- ishing the ranks of the medical men is by continuing the studies through the summer thus shortening up the time in which graduation may be made.

|, down Wednesday by French and Brit ish aviators. American airmen have joined in work by dropping bombs on Dommary Varoncourt On the Tour sector in aerial fighting American fighting planes have destroyed two enemy machines and driven another down out of control with the loss of one machine which landed within the German lines. British members also | have made incursions to Germany. 1 Bad weather is hampering infantry operations on the Italian front, but in the mountain region the artillery fighting is intense.
 | Paris, June 14---Ffghting on the front of the German attack has died down, there being only local opera tions last night. according to the statement issued by the war office to- day.
 Between the forest of Villers Cot l terets and Chateau Thierry (which i includes the sector held by American troops) there was artillery fighting during the night. A German attack
 near Antheuil, west of the Disc, was completely broken up.
 The Germans left some prisoners in the hands of the British.
 Activity of the Germany artillery
 in the region of Villers Bretonneux,
 east of Amiens, is reported. London, June 1.-The German
 crown prince continues his desperate
 attempts to overcome the difficult for
 est regions barring his way into the
 Disc valley and although by heavy
 fighting he gets a little nearer tc
 Compiegne, his progress is very
 slow.
 Thursdays reports are regarded as
 satisfactory on the whole by observ.
 CTS here. The enemy has progressed
 about a mile on a very narrow iron
 northeast of Villers Cotterets, but ths
 French troops are showing such de
 termination and valor in counter at
 Jacks that although reports iron
 Paris intimate that it may be neces sary to give further ground in fac, of superior numbers there exists
 spirit of quiet confidence and trus in Gen. Foch's prudent handling o the situation.
 Both the French and the German communiques indicate the terribl nature of the struggle that is proceed ing, the Germans having to admit tn loss of some guns.
 | It is clear, too, that the America z forces in the region of Bouresche
 are showing grit in holding off Ger man attacks, which gives the enem , great and unexpected trouble.
 The battle is regarded here as q contest between opposing reserves. , is known that the crown prince ha been compelled to draw slight on tn O reserves of Prince Rupprecht of Ba
 varia, as some of Rupprecht's me s have been identified among the 20 d n visions that the Germans have em V ployed since June g.
 n The view of military experts still e that the enemy's main attack has nc 1t yet been delivered.

Repulsed in their efforts to reach Compiegne and to drive the French back in the Montdidier region, the Germans are increasing the weight of their attack northeast of Villers Cot terets with the apparent hope of forcing a passage between the Villers Cotterets forest and the Compiegne forest and thus overcoming the French resistance east of the Disc.
 The German offensive west of the Disc is now in it's sixth day and the enemy has made slower progress in the present movement than in any of the three others that he has carried out since March 21. French resist ance has been growing as the days have passed, and on Thursday the Germans, despite heavy attacks against the height positions around Mery, were unable to gain and suf- fered severe losses from the French fire. Along the Disc he has been 1 thrown back across the Matz and his l efforts to regain the south of the river have been unavailing.
 South of the Aisne on a front of three miles the Germans have pushed back the French about one mile in ! two days. Bitter fighting operations continue in the region and the French resistance on Thursday at Laversine l Corey and Coevres was powerful | enough to prevent the enemy from advancing further westward. The | Germans have a foothold in Layer sine but have been unable to complete the occupation of the village.
 While attempting to outfank th' 1 formidable natural barriers of tht | Compiegne forest the Germans havt shown no desire to try a frontal at tack against the new French lint
 north of the Laigne forest, north O
 the Compeigne forest. There ha
 been no fighting here and the battl
 fronts west of the Disc and south 0
 the Aisne, although closely related
 have not been connected up yet.
 German official statements o
 Thursday make no claim of any gain west of the Disc and the evening re
 port says the situation is unchange with fighting continuing southwest o Noyan5 south of the Aisne and sout
