 Business in Bridgeport:
 Dear Sir-Acting at the request of the Return Loads Committee of the < Atlantic Seaboard and at the sugges- ton of the Highways Transport Com mittee, National Council of Defense, we are taking this opportunity of calling 4o your attention the fact that a serious situation at present con fronts the owners of motor trucks, i and ask your cooperation in it's solu- ton.
 We are assured by the Committee on Highways Transport at Washing ton that there will be freight con- gestion on the Atlantic Seaboard this winter far greater than that of last winter and that it IS necessary to take immediate action to meet this inn pending danger to industry, it indus try is to be maintained during the winter.
 The only relief to railroad traffic lies in motor transport and water transport and the motor truck own CTS have before them the patriotic duty of keeping traffic in motion dur ing the coming winter. For that pur- pose it has been deemed advisable to request that truck owners in every city in New England and on the At lantje Seaboard where a Return Load Bufeau has been established, organize Themselves as body so that they may Be ready to grapple with the problem (when it presents itself. It is also re- Quested that this organization of truck owners formulate tentative rates over the routes laid out by the State Council of Defense for the guidance of Return Load Bureaus.
 For further discussion of this situ- 'ation am taking the liberty of call ing a meeting of all persons in the trucking business at the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, First-Bridge- port National Bank building, on Fri day, Aug. 30, at 2:3O p. m.

been obliged to move cautiously. The war material taken, however, has been considerable.
 In AS hours the Allied advance has liberated more than 50 villages.
 The Allies now have won back more than two-thirds of the ground lost since the beginning of the Ger man offensive in March.
 Immediate interest in the battle is in the operations on the wings. Gen. Mangin is fighting hard on the right in the region of Juvigny and Cha vigny. The terrain is difficult there because Juvigny is level with Laffaux and the Chemin des Danes. Also the German Seventh army still clings to the line of the Vesle.
 On the left the British east of Arras have overrun the powerful de- lenses which have encircled Arras and are getting dangerously near the formidable positions prepared several years ago to protect Douai and Cam brai. These towns are important railroad centers and vital to the Ger man position,

Kugach was arrested last night when on a wild pamboree with a mo- tor cycle and side car in wnicn a rer~ rified woman was battling for her very life while the machine was tray cling at a high rate of speed in the direction of the wooded district in l Old Mill Green.

RULES
 FOR CONDUCT OF
 ALL ALIEN WOMEN

ment of the rules for the duration of the war are a result. of the reports reaching the Department of Justice.
 Many of the women included in the enemy alien class are Americans who have married Germans, and naturally they are inclined to overlook details or become negligent in the observ- ance of the rules. They look upon this country as their own and do not realize to the full extent that the fact of their being married to a German automatically makes them as German as though they were born in the country of the common enemy.
 The marshal in sending out the above orders to the authorities re- quested that the matter be given the widest publicity through the channels of the press so that as many of the female enemy aliens may be reached as possible.

StrathOrd, Ang. 29---The many friends of Lieut.. Donald S. Sammis will be pleased to hear that he is do- ing nicely after his recent operation at the U. s. Hospital at Baltimore, North Carolina.
 The following notice was received by Chief of Police W. B. Nichols to- day from IT. s. Marshal Chesterfield c. Middlebrook regarding change of residence: "A German alien (woman) changing her place of residence to another place within the same regis tration district shall immediately re- port such change to the registration officer of the registration district and present to such registration officer her registration card for the purpose of having endorsed thereon by such reg istration officer the change of resi- dence. A German alien female who desires to change her place of resi- dence to a place of residence within another registration district must ob- tain a permit. Such German alien female must present herself to the registration officer of the district in which she then resides and make ap- plication for the permit on a form supplied by the registration officer, and present her registration card to the registration officer, for the pur- pose of having the permit of change of residence, if granted, endorsed upon her registration card. If the registra- tion officer denies the application there may be an appeal under certain circumstances set forth in Article XIII, Paragraph 3, of the General ! Regulations, to the United States marshal of the judicial district for final action.''
