HOW BUSINESS MEN GAN HELP
 WIN THE WAR

Opportunity for Bridgeport Business men and others to enjoy a vacation in the country this summer and incl dentally to assist Uncle Sam in win ming the war is provided by the Bridgeport War Bureau in the Home Reserve for Farm Work, which 1t is now being organized in conjunction with the State Council of Defense. The scheme will also help to solve the farmers problem of where to get the help so necessary if increased produc- ton is to be undertaken.
 This will be no play vacation in the sense that those who enroll will lie around the farms and watch the stur- dy tillers of the soil as they go about their daily tasks. It means work and some who assist may find new muscles Or those long dormant from lack of ex- ercise, but it will send them back to the city with renewed vigor and a sense that in some small way at least, they have had part in winning the war, for larger food supplies here are as essential to success lover there" as are munitions of sterner sort.
 The State Council of Defense has adopted two plans for increasing the number of workers upon the farms during this summers season. The first plan was originated by the Hart ford Electric Light Co. It provides for the release by business corpora tions or firms, of individual employees for a period of two weeks or more for service upon farm work, either for voluntary service or for compensation as may be arranged, the corporation or firm continuing to pay the employe the difference between what the far mer shall pay him and his ordinary wages. The Hartford Electric Light Co. has 30 volunteers from their em' ployes who have agreed to work on farms this summer on this basis.
 -. The second plan was evolved by Waterbury business men. That com- munity has set out to enroll 1000 or more business men. each to definitely pledge himself to ten days of labor upon farms in that vicinity at a daily wage of $1.50 and agreed that all such compensation shall be turned over to the Red Cross. This latter plan contemplates a sacrifice on the part of the business men of their sum- mer vacation and giving it. over for war work upon farms.
 The Bridgeport War Bureau has 1 arranged to receive enrollments ot

 SELL THE THRIFT
 STAMPS MONDAY

Determined to establish an agency for the sale of War Savings Stamps in every store in Bridgeport, com nlittee of the Retail Merchants War Savings association, comprising Jo- seph- D. Hartigan, Charles Logan, A. s. Anderson, H. M. Gregg, and Ed ward Purcell, assisted by number of voluAteer workers, started an ener- getic canvass of all stores in the cen tral business section of the city yes- terday.

The enthusiastic manner in which a large number of stores have already adopted the idea indicates that the wishes of the committee will be fulfilled.
 Besides going lover the top'' in. the third Liberty Loan drive, the citizens Of Bridgeport are making a great War Savings Stamps record. Sales amount. ing to $8,000 a day for the last three l days have been recorded and 1t is believed that today's sales will go as high as $11,00o. This city has al- ready reached the $460,000 mark and 1 is now out to make the S475, 1000 l notch.

PASSPORTS NOT
 EASY TO SECURE

Mexico City, May 3-Rigid require ments of the United States govern ment in regard to proofs of American citizenship before passports are is- sued have worked hardships on a number of old time residents of Mexi- co who always have regarded them selves as Americans. The case of A. c. Savage, civil engineer, is the most notable, for MT. Savage, all though 70 years old, has still to con vince the American consulate that he is an American citizen.
 According to Mir. Savage, he was born in Brooklyn but, after the lapse of more than half a century, he has found 1t impossible to produce citi- zenship proofs required by the Amer ican government.
 During his adventurous career MT Savage located railways in almost every part of the then wild United States, including the line of the Texas Pacific in the Southwest. In the Black Hills he fought Indians with Colonel w. F. Cody and in the old Indian Ter ritory he served as deputy United States marshal in 1875-76. He was the first city engineer of Fl Paso and ! laid out the towns of Brownsville. Eagle Pass and Laredo. Despite his years he now is engaged in a | three months trip through the Pa cific coast states of Mexico His only son is serving in the American army ir France

the much dreaded army of manoevre will require to intervene in the sec ond stage of the supreme battle if the British armies, with their losses in men and guns made good, according to MT. Lloyd Georges promise, and with a denser concentration on a narrower front, rendered possible by the cooperation of the French tacti- cal reserves on our right, fight only as well (and they will probably fight even better) than they have done dur ing the last week. In that case Hin denburg must expect his losses to be at least 50 per cent higher than on the previous occasion even in the inn probable event of a second break what will the shattered remains of they meet the ntact and crack Allied corps under General Fooh
 It may be thought that consider ations of this kind would induce Hin denburg to rest content. with his pres ent inconclusive success. That, how ever, is most unlikely, compelled as he is by political and economic con- ditions in Germany, and by the fear of the reat American armies to come and of the Japanese armies also, to make a last and desperate bid to win ] the war, than which there has been no greater military gamble in his tory.
 For his aim is clear. He meant and still means, to break the junction of the Anglo-French armies, to roll up the British right flank through Amiens and down the Somme valley to the Channel at a point not fal from Dieppe, to roll similarly up the French left flank, trow it across the Disc, and march through the widen ing gap between the British and the Fench to Paris.
 Finally, when the Northern Ger man Army Group under Prince Rup precht had pinned our right wins against the French coast near Dieppe his own right wing in Flanders woult have sought to break through to Dun kirk, Calais, and Boulogne, so tha the whole of the British armies il France would have been hemmed in to a narrow stretch of coast line witl no adequate supply ports to cater fo them in munitions and other stores anu Idheo uhceaSlnSiy rom east t. west and north to south by the long range German batteries.
