HUNCAR|ANS NOW
 WANT PEACE ON
 WILSON'S TERMS
Independent Party Sees No Hope of Victory Through
 Militarism,

Basel, Monday, Sept, 9-President Wilson's program as a basis for the negotiations for peace is endorsed by Count Michael Karolyi, president of the Hungarian independent party. A dispatch from Budapest quoting from an open letter written by Count Kar- olyi to his electors to whom he recom- mends an early peace, says:
 "A decisive military victory, despite it's successes, is a dream which it is useless to pursue. The prime condi- ton of peace negotiations is the characterization of nations and the abandonment of imperialists' theories A second condition is that we should not become slaves to the idea of a middle Eurpe, either military, eco- nomically or politically, and that we should not strengthen our alliance with Germany which would form the first step toward the realization of this central Europe.
 We ought to accept as a basis for negotiations President Wilson's pro- gram"

"In this glorious accomplishment all ranks, arms and services of the British armies in France have borne their part in the most worthy and honorable manner.
 The capture of 75,0o0 prisoners and 750 guns in the course of four weeks fighting speaks for the magnitude of your efforts and the magnificence of your achievement
 My thanks are due to all ranks of the fighting forces for their indom- itable spirit in defense and their bold ness in attack, to all commanders and their staff officers under whose able direction such great results have been attained and to all those whose un- spairing labors behind the actual fight ing line have contributed essentially to the common cause. To have com manded this splendid army which at a time of grave crisis has so nobly done it's duty fills me with pride.
 We have passed through many dark days together. Please God these never will return. The enemy has now spent his effort and we rely con- fidently on each one of you to turn to full advantage the opportunity your skill, courage and resolution have created"

LONGWORTH SAYS NEW TAX
 VERY NEAR DANGER MARK
Wealth is Taxed to About straining Point by New
 Revenue Bill. NEW GENERATIONS
 MUST PAY SHARE Plan to Tax Table to Re place Revenue Formerly
 Gotten From Beer.

Washington, Sept. 1O- Wealth is taxed to about the straining point by the new war revenue bill, Representative Longworth of Ohio declared in the house today when debate on the huge tax measure was re- sumed. He warned his hearers that any additional taxes levied hereafter must be borne by people purchasing articles of daily necessity and said that as the cost of the war mounts a
 greater proportion of it will have to be borne by future gen. erations.
 Pointing out that congress is about to exact from the American people a sum which would have more than paid the entire cost of the Civil War, both to the Union and to the Confed eracy, MT. Longworth said the tax of (Continued on Page Two)

BEER BAN MAY CLOSE SALOONS
 IN CITY SOON
Dealers Have Not Yet Con- sidered Situation But Will
 Obey All Orders.

What effect the order of the Food ing of beer after December 1 will have in gof beer after December l will have ir this city is yet problematical, &C., cording to Thomas F. Flynn, president of the Bridgeport Liquor Dealers as sociation. He says the members of the association will cheerfully com ply with any law or order which may be issued, or request, which will tend to aid the country in the crisis through which it is now passing.
 Under orders of the Food adminis- tration, issued from Washington, beer may not be brewed after December 1 of the current year. That is food products may not be used for that purpose. Inquiry of representatives of Bridgeport breweries today elicited the response that no official order to that effect has yet been received, and in advance of it's receipt no statement would be made.
 There is no question of the authen- ticity of the order, however, and after December 1 use of grain for produc- ton of beer will cease. What beer is sold after that time will be from ac- cumulated stocks, and as present pro- duction is limited to 70 per cent. of normal it is not believed beer in stock will be availa ble for more than a couple of months after that date.
 Many New York brewers have an- nounced their determination to cease production October l, owing to the new licenses and leases falling due
 l.+ < {., E,a %I,o 10000 places will close in New York city alone.
 In Bridgeport the license year com mences December 2. but whether many of the saloons selling beer will close then has not been decided. There has been no meeting of the local association to discuss that mat ter, but 1t Is in the minds of many, and will be talked over in the near future. Connecticut law requires payment of the full license fee for the year in advance, but with ths prospect of being unable to continue in business for but a short time some of the dealers hesitate to advance the money, There Is no prohibition yet against the sale, but there is pros pect or passage or the 'Done dry law in Congress with prohibition of sale after July 1 of next year. Some of the dealers may pay for their licenses, and depend upon the justice of the legislature to rebate for the unexpired portion of the license year which has been paid for.
 All is uncertainty with the dealers now. with the prospect that many of them may abandon the business rath- CT than take chances.

among the employees of the Bullard Machine Co.,, calling upon the ma chinists and toolmakers to attend a meeting at the Machinists' headquar- ters in Broad street. According to off, ficials of the Bullard Machine Co.,, but four of their men were at the meeting.
 Beyond the fact that more men came back to work this morning there was nothing to report at the Reming- ton Arms Co. and the U. M. c. plant. at the Liberty Ordnance, but the plant is still tied up as well as the Ameri- can & British shops.
 The announcement made yesterday by the business agent of the Machin- ists union that it was decided after a four hours conference with the heads of the Machinists' union of Newark, N. J., Philadelphia and New York City to call the men out in those cities, was greeted with derision today in Bridgeport.
 Among the manufacturers in Bridgeport the announcement made by the business agent of the Machin- ists' union is regarded as pure bluff and confidence is felt that the govern ment has now taken a hand in the matter which will speedily clear up the situation so that the factories of Bridgeport will be put on a 100 per cent. production basis

The occupation of Fort Liez gives the French command not only of the entire country around La Fere, but of the valley of the Disc to a considerable distance northward, the valley of the Serre eastward ana the railroad line leading to the Laon. citadel, which is visible from the height.
 Gen. Mangin's army south of the Disc took Servais, closing in on La Fere from the south, while they irn- proved their position north of Laf- faux. Both the Third and 10th French armies now are virtually on the line where the pursuit of the Germans stopped in the spring or 1917.
 The Hindenburg line, however. comprises a wide system of defenses having a total depth in some places of nearly 10 miles and the fall of it's pillars does not mean a breach in the position. The St. Gobain forest, supposed to be the strongest part of the line, now is tightly pressed from the north by the occupation of Ser vais, from the west by the capture of Barisis, while the French in front of Fresnes are crowding it from the Soufh

 Five towns were taken in this re- zion, including Essigny le Grand, di- rectly south of St. Quentin and but three and half miles distant. To the north, beyond the Somme, Etrillers and Roupy were taken, while in clos east of Liez and important wooded land within two miles of La Fere were captured.
 On the Franco-American front, just to the south of the Aisne, there was an improvement in the Allied posi- tion, in the Glennes region.
 With the French Army in France, Monday, Sept. 9-(By the Associated Press)-French troops forced the crossing of the Crozat canal today overcoming strong opposition and oc- cupying important positions in the triangle formed by the two branches of the canal and the road from La Fere to St. Quentin. They also ad- vanced north of the Disc, taking the Liez fort and north of the Disc cap- turing Etreviller and Roupy.

CODDARD'S HOME IS ENTERED BY
 EXPERT THIEVES
Valuable Jewelry, Money and Other Property stol-
 en During the Night.

The home of H. C. Goddard, at TIP William street was entered by burg lars sometime last night and a rich haul was made both in iewelry and money by the thieves who gained en- trance to the house through a side window from which they had pried the screen.
 The robbery was reported to the police early today, but when making his report Goddard was unable to throw any light upon the matter and had no knowledge as to what time the cracksmen entered his home.
 Among the missing articles are three valuable diamond rings and a very valuable watch. A large sum of money, the exact amount will not be divulged by the police at the present time, was also taken by the burglars, who must have had accurate knowl- edge, not only as to the plans of the house, but also of the habits of the Inmates.
 After a thorough investigation of the meager details obtainable this morning Captain E. o. Cronan, chief of the detective bureau at police headquarters was satisfied that the 'job" was not an inside one. The thieves overlooked many valuab bles when ransacking the place.
 In the belief of Captain Cronan, the affair was the work of expert second story men and the reason that many articles of value were not taken was because they were too bulky and could not easily be disposed of
 l Several men from the detective bureau were assigned to the case and it is thought that a definite clue has already been found which will lead to the speedy arrest of the robbers.

The Ostend wharves and a motor boat depot in Blankenberge also were attacked with good results.

Coupled with the fact that the strikers are constantly applying at the offices of the various plants to go back to work, this tends to prove that not only is the strike unauthorized by the International Association of Ma chinists, but is rapidly losing favor among the union men themselves. who are beginning to feel the finan cial pinch.
 It was pointed out by a prominent labor man today that if the strike was duly authorized protest on the part of the men against unfair condi- tions, it would have the backing of the International Association, and thus be assured of financial support from the general treasury. As it is the men have to look for voluntary sympathy on the part of machinists working in parts of the country.
 It has been understood in Bridge port that the strike was not author ized by the International, but was en- tirely distasteful to that body, but the statement made by Jack Moss, chair man of the strike committee, denied this. When spoken to on the subject about week ago the chairman said: tThe strike has the entire backing of the International Association and anything that we have done has been in full accordance with instructions given to us by President W. H. John- ston."

Among the players, however, there was no such assurance that the series would end today. The Cubs had lost none of their fighting spirit.
 Manager Barrow planned to start Jones in the box for Boston today, holding Mays in reserve. Manager MitcheIrs decision as to the Chicago pitcher still was held in abeyance early in the day. It was figured that he would not be likely to send in any of the men who had partici- pated in the previous games and the best guess was that the Red Sox would be called upon to face Hendrix, right handler.

 Enemy mine sweepers also were harassed with bombs and machine gun fire. More than IA tons of bombs was dropped by day bombing squad rons, one machine failing to return.

France, Monday, Sept. 9-(By the Associated Press)-The enemy heav- fly shelled towns in the Woevre sec tor behind our lines this morning. One of his patrols attacked the American outposts but was easily driven off
 There was considerable patrol ac- tivity in the Vosges district last night. One encounter took place, the enemy retiring with one wounded man. Col ored troops have occupied one Vosges village in which French civilians were held prisoner.
 The Frenchmen on coming through to the American lines declared the Germans were considerably excited at finding themselves opposed by ne- groes of whom they are said to be afraid because of reports that the American colored troopers cut off the ears of their prisoners. The negro soldiers in this sector recently had an example of German treachery when a German patrol attacked after | shouting "Kamerad." They now are l thoroughly determined to have their revenge.
