All Records Broken for Number of Persons to
 Buy Liberty Bonds.
WILSON TO AID
 $50 BOND DRIVE
President to Purchase Installment Bond from
 Theatre Box.

Washington, May All rec Ords for number of subscribers to Liberty loans were broken today, when treasury tabula- tions show that 12,OOO,OOO per- sons have bought bonds of the third issue. Subscriptions to- day sent the total above the $2,- 50O,0OO,OO0 mark.
 With four days remaining, the num- Der of subscribers is 2,5OO,OOO more than the 9,500,000 of the second loan and nearly three times the 4,50O,00O of the first loan. Under the stimulus of the active canvass of the few days, and the Buy Another BondI' move ment, the treasury hopes to raise the subscription roll to the 0,O00, 900 sought by Secretary McAdoo and total sub scription to a billion or two beyond the 5000, ,000, 900 minimum.
 The Buy Another Bond' appeal reached President Wilson today and although he already had subscribed for nearly $2O,OO0 of third Liberty bonds, he agreed to buy a $50 bond on the installment plan, in accord with

GERMANS TALK
 OF OFFENSIVE
 AGAINST ITALY

London, May Tt is worthy of note in connection with the official statement from Austro-Hungarian headquarters on Tuesday reporting in- creased activity on the Italian front, that German papers recently have been referring to a supposed i'm pending revival of the Austrian of fensive against Italy on a grand scale. The comments have read at times as if they were intended to ex- ert pressure on Austria-Hungary to begin an attack for which the Ger mans are eager as a diversion on the extreme flank of the Entente front.
 Lieut.. Gen. Won Ardenne, in the Berliner Tageblatt, writes:
 ''The tension amid which the world is watching the drama in France and Flanders is likely to be increased soon as the Italian theater becomes livelier. It cannot be denied that while the German people await re- vival of the fighting activity there with full confidence, they also await it with impatience. Never was the opportunity for reviving an Austro Hungarian offensive more favorable than at present"

POPE ALSO WILL SEEK
 MAY 7TH TO END WAR;
 KING CHARLES ACTIVE
HUN PRESS PUBLISHES STORY ABOUT FRESH PEACE VERTURES-FAILURE OF DRIVE AGAINST WEST FRONT
 OF ALLIES BELIEVED REASON

London, May 1.-The Cologne papers are publishing a story to the effect that the Pope is about to make another appeal to the powers for peace. The appeal is to be made on Whit Sunday May 19.
 This is not the first report emanating from Germany that the Pope is about to make an- other bid for peace and many leaders of the clerical party have openly admitted that there is another movement for the cessation of hostilities we'll un- der way.
 Simultaneously with the above re- port comes word that Prince Sixtus of Bourbon-Parma, to whom the famous letter was written by Emperor Charlse nerlnS peace 10 france, udS VlSlIeO King Alphonso of Spadn and immedi- ately after conference with the Spanish ruler left Madrid for the Bel gian front.
 At the same time report reached Stockholm that Emperor Charles was making a fresh peace attempt and was appealing to Italy to consider it in her own interests.
 That a peace offensive" would be made by the Central Powers in the event that the great German offensive on the western front proved to be abortive has been freely predicted. This may be the beginning.
 The, Neuste Nachrichten of Munich, Bavaria, on April 27, said the Pope would make a peace offer as soon as the western offensive had assumed a new phase. The Bavarian newspaper said the appeal would take the form of "a word of warning addressed to the universal conscience"
 In commenting upon the visit of Prince Sixtus to King Alphonso, the leading Spanish newspaper, Madrid Sol, says '"The Prince was accom-

STUNNED BY TERRIBLE
 LOSSES FOE GIVES UP
 ATTACKS ON , KENNEL
WON ARNIM REFORMING HIS BATTERED FORCES AND FOR THE MOMENT QUITS EFFORT TO CONTINUE DRIVE-OUR
 ARTILLERY IS VERY ACTIVE

Stunned by their losses, the German forces in Flanders have given Np for the moment their attempt to make further ad- vances west of Mont Kemmel. Meanwhile Gen. Von Arnim is reforming his battered forces and bringing up new Drigades to renew his battering against the granite defense.
 After the intense fighting of Monday, in which the Germans strove desperately to enlarge their gains on the high ground north of the Lys, there has been only local fighting. Paris is again being bombarded.
 Apparently the Allied commanders are content to hold on to their present line and to let the Germans make
 
 them back. In their disastrous re- pulse the Germans not only failed to gain, although using larger forces than the defenders, but they were driven from some positions they had held since the capture of Mont Kem- mel last week.
 Along the Flanders front and in Pi- cardy strong artillery bombardments continue. The Germans have been throwig greata number of shells into the French positions around Han gard, south of the Somme, probably in preparation for still another at- tempt to drive the French back to the Avre. A German attack in the Noyon sector brought the enemy into French positions from which, however, they were thrown out in spirited fighting.
 American artillery on the Picardy front has been busy smelling enemy targets but there has been no in- fantry activity. On the Foul sector American aviators have brought down a German machine, the third in three weeks.

 All of the men have been assigned to the heavy artillery and will receive their training at Fort Slocum. The special train was due to arrive at New Rochelle early in the afternoon.
 The scene at the station was similar to those when other contingents left There were few mothers, sisters and sweethearts who could not keep from shedding tears while others were in a cheery mood until the train left the station.
 The men assembled at their various boards this morning at 10 o'clock at which time they were given arm1ets 10 distinguish them. Final instruc- tons were given the men yesterday when they reported for Red Cross kits.

FIND HERRICK
 DEAD IN NOBLE
 AVENUE GARAGE E

Charles Herrick, 45, formerly re- siding at 709 Noble avenue, was found dead beside his automobile in the gar age at 667 Noble avenue early this morning. Upon investigation being made by Medical Examiner Dr. s. M. Garlick, death was found to be due to natural causes.
 From facts in the possession of the authorities it was learned that the de- ceased was employed at the Auto matic Machine Go. since he arrived here from Lynn, Mass, last November. As far as can be learned he has no relatives in Bridgeport and the nearest of his kin is a sister, Mrs. H. Joyce, of Winthrop, Me, and the police have already communicated with her.
 The automobile which Herrick owned was used for him for his pleas ure, and it is said that he was in the habit of making long trips when the weather permitted.
 When asked what he thought was the cause of the death, Dr. Garlick said that to the best of his belief Mer- rick suffered from cardiac com plaint and was stricken with heart failure while putting hss car up for the night.
 When the body was discovered this morning it was found that the door of the garage was left wide open all night and it was this fact that caused passers by to investigate.

FLEE
 HOTELS WHEN
 EARTH QUAKES

Los Angeles, Cal, May IA single earth trenor felt throughout the Im- perial valley in southern California and in western Arizona at 9:s2 last night caused only slight damage at various points, which had reported early today.
 The shock appeared to have been most severe in Fl Centro, which is across the San Jacinto mountain range from San Jacinto and Hemet, which was seriously damaged by an earth quake April 21 and which has had re- curing shocks of slighter intensity al- most daily since then.
 In Fl Centro a crowd attending a lecture in a large tent was thrown in- to a near-panic and guests at one of the hotels rushed out of the building,

are Aow receiving toR wages.
 Labk kr has demanded wagN increases in most of the metal trades And occu- pations led by the skilled mechanics in shipyards in Bridgeport, Groton and Stratford and followed by wage read justments to machInists and tool makers in intuition factories in Bridgeport. Unskilled labor in many places in the state has received a higher scale.
 In the building trades and allied oc- equations new wage scales have been announced at many places and the differences remaining unsettled are not many.
 Of wage demands to be discussed in the immediate future the most import ant would appear to be that of the trolley men of the Connecticut Co.,, whose agreement will expire on June 1. It is said by officials of the Con necticut Co. that as yet the demands of the men have not been presented to them. Aside from the trolley mat ter there would appear to be no gen eral disagreement bearing on labor and it's employment impending in the state
