TRACE ALLEGED
 THIEF TO TOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA
Albinus Arkansas Arrested in Wyoming on Complaint
 of Bridgeport Police.
Monday, Aug. 26

Owing to an exceptionally clever piece of detective work on the part of the Bridgeport Detective Bureau, AL binus Arkanas, 26, was arrested to- day in Wyoming, Penn, charged with robbing Joseph Jenarzich, of 64 Sum mer street, this city, of a suit valued at $40, $71 in money, a watch and chain valued at $34, a signet ring valued at $6, suit case and other clothes as well as a bank book cover ing deposits in the Citizens Bank. Waterbury, Conn.,, amounting to. $23O. The robbery was committed August 8.
 The victim reported the matter to Captain E. o. Cronan immediately he discovered his loss and the local au- on the bank book.
 Then began the hunt for Arkanas, which proved a difficult task, as he did not stop long enough in one place to be definitely located. The author ities traced him relentlessly and finally ran him to earth in Wyoming, Penn, where he was arrested by the Pennsylvania authorities and will be turned over to the Bridgeport author ities when the extradition formalrties have been completed.
 Detective John Curry from the Bridgeport Detective Bureau will leave today for the Pennsylvania city in order to escort the prisoner back to this city where he will be placed on trial for the theft.

Ontario Troops Do Fine Work in Front of Beucourt
 and Take Town.

Canadian Forces in France. Aug 26-(By the. Canadian Press)-Nu- merous stories of individual gallantry and initiative on the field in the recent fighting east of Amiens are coming to hand. A Manitoba battalion was held up in an attack on Fouquescourt, which lies within the old Somme de- lenses Realizing that capture of the stronghold was essential to success of the entire operation, the commanding officer personally led a dashing assault into the rear of the enemy position. His example so inspired all ranks that their advance was irresistible, and af- ter the village had been mopped up the battalion consolidated a position to the east and held it against all counter attacks for two days
 A central Ontario battalion did equally good work in front of Beu- court. The cavalry had been held up here by converging machine gun fire from the south of the Rove road and the woods to the north and east. The battalion was similarly held up but its commanding officer realized that the key to the position was a small wood to the northeast, which was alive with machine guns.
 Taking advantage of. the smoke screen afforded by a burning tank, h. led in a hastily collected party and rushed the wood, capturing 16 ma chine guns. The battalion then too6 the town with a dash, the enemy re- tiring routed.

Emergency Fleet Corpora tion to Assign Vessels for
 Food Administration. INCREASE OUTPUT
 OF SALT WATER FISH Work on 75 New Boats to Be Commenced Immedi-
 ately in Ship Yards.

Washington, Aug. 26-Fish- ing craft destroyed by German submarines off the New Eng land coast will be renewed by the emergency fleet corpora ton at the request of the food administration with deep sea modern traWlers.
 Construction will be begun imme- diately on 75 vessels, to be in opera tion on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in the gulf of Mexico early in 1919. The food administra- tion asked for the boats in order tc increase the production of salt water fish.
 Heavy increases in the annual pro duction of haddock, small cod, flatfisf and other salt water varieties are eX. pected from operation of the new trawlers, and enable carloads to en. ter all the interior. markets of the country every week in the year, sta bilizing prices at low levels.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

In the forty-second week of the egg laying contest at Storrs the hens made what is probably their final spurt for the year. The total pro- duction for the week was 3,562 eggs or yield of 5O.9 per cent. This is 66 more than last week and 90 eggs ahead of the corresponding week last year. The Oregons easily won first place for the week with a yield of 61 eggs. Pen 60 owned by J. o. LeFevre New Paltz, N. Y, and Pen 7S owned by E. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, were tied for second with '51 eggs. Pens 66 and 85, owned by Dautrich Brothers, Winsted, Conn.,, and NJ. T. Lindsay, of Mattituck, N. Y, respec- lively were tied for a close third with 50 eggs yield. Pen Barred Rocks entered by Merritt NJ. Clark, Brook field Center. Conn.,, were fourth with 49 eggs.
 Four Barred Rocks, four Wyan- dottes, seven Rhode Island Reds, three Oregons and four Leghorns, or total of twenty-two hens made a perfect individual score for the week by lay ing seven eggs each. Among these twenty-two birds was No. 195, a White Wyandotte hen owned by o. C. Knight, of Bridgeton, R. l., which ca Wednesday, August 21, laid her 250th egg. Since November l, or in 294 days, this hen has laid 2SO eggs or an 85 per cent. yield If she can continue at this rate until October 30 she will easily pass the 300 mark. Or if she lays five eggs for the next ten weeks she will make it. On the same date last year the best hen had laid 220 eggs and at the end of the contest had laid PIT. If this years leader can produce at the same rate she will have laid 3o7 eggs All things con- sidered No 195 has a good chance of becoming an honor hen in the poultry world.

GERMANS NOT PLANNING MORE
 0FFENS|vES
Shortage of Manpower and Lack of Ambition, Prin-
 cipal Causes.

With the American Army on tn } Vesle, Sunday, Aug. 25-(By the As sociated Press) soldiers be- lieve Germany is not planning any more offensives because of the man power shortage, according to one of d party of seven of a German patrol captured by the Americans early Sun- day east of Fismes. The soldier, who was a former bank employe and the owner of a Berlin restaurant said the soldiers no longer had any enthusiasm for war. Most of those with whom he came into contact believed the wa would end soon.
 The prisoner had been fighting three years and declared he was thoroughly tired of it. He said the soldiers un- derstood that the German losses dur ing the recent Allied offensives had been very great. These reports were credited by the soldiers and were hay ing a demoralizing effect. He said he knew of one division of 15, 900 that had been reduced to less than 1000. He did not know what became of the men.
 Plenty of Germans, he added, would desert and surrender If given the op- portunity. Many of them are con- stantly watching for chance to give themselves up to the Americans Trouble had been threatened in ths German munition plants and the army leaders were tightening conditions there. He said the rules governine munition workers were more stricr now than ever.
 Germany, he said, has plenty o1 ammunition but the man power ques- ton and the actual entry of American troops to the fighting are worrying the military leaders.

HOW OUR TROOPS ARE ESCORTED AND LANDED FROM TRANSPORTS AT THE
 FRENCH PORT OF DISEMBARKATION

American Port In Western France, August -(Currespondence of The Associated Press. )-An American Ar mada of thirteen great transports bringing 36,000 fighting men to France had come quietly into port du ring the night and the landing of this little army was soon to begin.
 Going on board the transports The Associated Press correspondent had an opportunity to see the equipment for this huge undertaking, and how the men had lived and fared on their trip across. It was a long climb up the rope ladder to the deck of a former Ward liner rebuilt as a transport. Sol diers packed the decks and were thick as flies in every cabin, hatch and be- tween decks down to the very bowels of the ship. The spacious promen- ade deck had disappeared. and in it's place were long lines of "standees," or metal hammocks, for the men sleep in the open on deck as well as be- tween decks.
 The men looked well, and the re- port from the sick bay showed only six cases of sickness out of 5000 men abroad, a very good showing, said the doctor. In the mess hall a relief of men were taking their breakfast. There was no sitting down at table. The men stood at high troughs. very clean and0ractical. each man with his own tin plate. knife fork and spoon, tossing off with relish the hot coffee and good white bread and butter. We tasted this bread and found it reve- lation-reai bread, so different from the potato bread we are ucod t0 as war diet. And real butter. q luE,:'y for soldiers only, HE!ch no oHc ne- grudged them.
 Between decks tiny blue lights were burning to let the men see their way about with some degree of freedom These are the only lights aboard, nc lights on deck Of any kind to avoid danger of fire. Al night the men felt their way about.
 The living quarters between decks were scrupulously clean, and even af- ter ten days of this crowded life afloat there was not a trace of odor the floors were scrubbed and there was no litter about. It would have cheercd the heart of an exactina housekceper.

 Everything showed ure neatne5s O efficient naval mana cement. In thu kitchen galley savory dishes were be ing prepared, and in the bread making plant the long line oc ovens were tun ing out stacks of white bread fo these 5000 hearty eaters. This wa a meatless day, for civilians but on of the negro cooks offered us a tast of the steaming meat curry, whicl would have done credit to a Pari chef
 An exciting event of the trip wa learned as we passed along. Most c the voyage had been uneventful.

NAVAL SEAPLANE
 LOST WITH CREW OF THREE MEN

Washington, Aug. 26-Loss of a naval seaplane with her crew of three men, including Ensign Donald C.. Pero, in collision with another sea- plane off Fire Island, Saturday even- ing, was announced today by the navy department.
 Peros machine is believed to have sunk immediately after falling into the water. Mine sweepers searched the vicinity but could discover no trace of the crew or of the plane.
 Ensign H. Stevens piloting the other plane, landed safely on the wather with his mechanic and assist ant and aided in the unsuccessful search. The accident occurred about [ o'clock in the evening.
 The two men missing with Ensign Pero are w. c. Jaegel, chief machin- ist's mate, and F. A. Newman, ma chinist's mate.

sign of hostile craft. If the depth charges took effect they left no trace for there was no wreckage on the Wa ter. Very soon the incident had pass ed and some of the ships did not even know anything unusual had occurred
 On the upper deck we say the deadly depth charges and the long toboggan slide along which they are started on their errand. The charges were in metal cylinders the size of a cask, two on each side ready to drop over.
 Besides these the gunnery officer was proud of the possession of guns made for use on battleships but mounted here on deck.
 They will out-shoot any subma- rine afloat," said the officer, batting his big weapon as though they were pets.
 In the officers mess hall one of the officers summed up the results of the trip. Most of the men, he said. were from the west. with a large number of farmer boys who had never been or the water before. This was great experience, great adventure, and they were eager for 1t. There was little sea sickness after the first few days. The men looked forward anx. iously to getting to the fighting front for there was one common impulse running through them all. as showr by their letters home-that there wa: q biz job ahead which had 70 be done and they wished to do it and havt done with it so as to return home. As we came ashore two American airpiane sections were being debark cd with their liberty motors and al

 LANDING FIELDS
 ACROSS STATES

Washington. Aug 26.---Building of chain of landing fields for aviators stretching across the United States is progressing steadily, the war depart ment announced. In few states re- ports show that there are landing fields equipped to furnish oil and gasolene at intervals of 100 miles. It is planned to have the fields equipped to furnish shelter, limited machine shop facilities, maps, charts and bar ometer and thermometer ratings to the air pilots
 Lines of such landing fields have been established in New York, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Illinois, District of Co., lumbia, Texas, Georgia and Califor- mia. In Arkansas, Mississippi, Ala bama, New Mexico and Nebraska such fields soon will be provided.
