When they came in I could not bslp

carrying propaganda among the Aus

assiduously spreading allied propa-

Some of the material has been drop-

The morale Of the Austrian army is

(, The propaganda which the central

/ astonished me. One story, which
many people believe, is that America
and Great Britain intend to seize
! Italy and divide it between them
, selves after the war. II is prepos-
ferrous, and yet the German spies
have done their work so thoroughly
! that certain Italians of education and
| intelligence are greatly confused and
more or less inclined to distruSt US.

BUILDING MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization. than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-:
gagged in it's task of keeping up the
lines Of communication between the
Jewish men, in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against. "kultur' the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success the Jewish organiza-
ton is making IT'S chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers OF the Hebrew
faith. The. call for workers is urgent
and erabbis, professional men. journal
fsts, social workers and others are
entering the service Of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

PROSECUTION MAY SERVE TO ASSIST
 DUMB WITNESSES

Theodore Steiber, assistant prose- cutting attorney, stated today that the practice among the foreign popula- ton in Bridgeport of becoming en- tirely dumb when being questioned by the authorities about any matter in which they happen to be- called as witnesses, is becoming too prevalent and that a campaign of prosecutions for perjury against such persons will be instituted unless they tell the truth when testifying either through an in- terpreter or in English.
 Every time, according to Attorney Steiber, that foreigners get on the witness stand they declare under oath that they do not understand English, when g. few minutes before they have been glib enough with that tongue. When an interpreter is procured they are just as dumb and plead com plete ignorance of a case in which they have been eye witnesses.
 The attorney was not sure whether this was the result of a propaganda which had been spread among the foreigners or not, but it seems that everyone of them that gets on the stand in the court whether he be a prisoner or a witness is stricken with the same complaint, namely dumb ness of intellect and an absolute in ability to tell the same story twice.

EFFORT MADE TO
 STOP DISROblNC
 IN PUBLIC PARKS

An effort will be made by the po- lice to stamp cut the practice of per sons disrebing in public places to go in swimming. A start in that direc- ton was made yesterday when Motor cycle Officer s. Kelley, arrested John Prusso, 48, of 61 Johnson street, at Seaside Park. Prusso was arraigned before the City Court today and in- stead of the usual discharge with 6 warning he was fined $2.
 According to officials at police headquarters, the authorities are de- luged with complaints about persons, especially foreigners, who do not think it necessary to spend a few cents for a locker, and disrobe 1n any part of the public park that they may happen to be. They apparently show an utter disregard for the mod esty of the women and children in the park and seem quite peeved when they are arrested on the charge of in- decent exposure.
 According to one of the officials a campaign te stamp out this prac- tice will be vigorously pushed ana will go much harder with the viola tor than merely two dollar fine.
