Mayor Frank CoJtcr today made public a request received from Rich ard M Hurd, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American Defense Society, urging citizens here to or ulnize a local vigilance corps, for the purpose of aiding the Government in puttIng am end to German propogan- Ga and enemy activity which has been responsible for fires, ammunition plant explosions, sabotage, food scares and other attempts to damage the morale of the American people.
 Recent events in this country make if plain that the German method of mopaaaaia which has been so elect i've .u Russia and Italy is now being attempted in this country with an aIalmrg degree of success" accord ng {. m appeal to Americans now being ,.ucl by the American Defense Society. "Gcman propaganda has long been supplied to our troops in the national cncampments. The ship building program is being intelferca with by Geman-inspircd strikes Germans are directing the boarding of food supplies to an extent that panics hvc already been prevalent in the leading cities. Newspapers are giving daily reports of fires in am mmition plants and grain depots."
 The far-rcaching need of the local Vigilance Corps can readily be seen when it is known that in this country alone there are today several million alien enemies representing Germany Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and other countries sympathetic or allied with the Plussian autocracy, Almost without exception these enemies are free to go about as they see fit, and while the Government has done much toward tightening the censorship of maiIs and cables, nevertheless there are numberless channels by which these enemies are in touch with the directing genius of German propa- gqrdd in Berlin.
 If Americans mean to stand by the men at the front, whose lives are al ready being sacrificed, and to stand by their Government, the opportunity is offered in the additional service they can give to this work of the American Defense Society.
 The plan of organization undcrta- ken by the Society and recommended to loyal Americans provides for the enrolment of a small American Vigi- lance Corps in every city and town which shall classify all residents un- der the following terms:
 1. Loyal.
 2. Disloyal.
 8. Doubtful.
 4. Unknown.
 Following the general classification of citizens the Committee is urged to make further designation of the fol- lowing list:
 1. Alien enemy.
 2. Pro-Geman.
 8. Achievement.
 Tn the letter of instructions to branch organizations the Executive Committee of the American Defense Society gives the following dmec- tions:
 At the earliest possible moment when you have made your classified tion of alien enemies, pro-Gemans, and those opposed to the Government in this war, send this list to the Police Department, the local representative

of the Department of Justice' and to whatever representatives of the army or navy intelligence bureaus there are in your community. Do not let this matter rest, however, with this first classification of the enemies. Too much stress cannot be put on the impor- tance of having your own Vigilance Corps take steps to watch alien enc mics, pro-Germans and those opposed to the Government. Only by such CO., operation will you be able to give ef- fective aid to the Government. Take every means you can to let the people of your city know the names of our enemies"
 Unofficial announcement has al- ready been made at Washington that the Government is about to register the alien enemies in America. Your Committee already having acted along such lines, will naturally be in a posi- ton greatly to aid the Government Census when such a census is taken. No doubt many attempts will be made to evade the official Government Gen. sus and information on the enemies in your community will therefore be of greatest value"
 
 You are enjoined to watch the speech, associations and activities of every man whom you may suspect of disIoyalty and to send in the immed- fate report"

J. W. Connors, has had many years experience in both the womens and mems line. Starting his career Is an apprentice with the G. Fox Co. in Hartford, Conn.,, he has been con nected with Lit Brothers of Phila- delphia and The J. N. Adam Go. of Buffalo, N Y, and more recently with Oppenheim Collins of New York. While MT. Kelly will be To- cated here, it does not mean that we will lose the close personal touch of the affable "Jim," but with the mul- hilarious duties incident to the oper- alton of four live stores, each of them demanding a little of his time, 1t has been necessary for him to se~ cure assistance and he has selected MT. Kelly to tighten the burden a little for him, but he intends to be in the local store to greet his friends three or four days every week and will still maintain his residence in Bridgeport.
 MT. Kelly is well known fraternal- ly and if appearances count for any thing will say that he will ably sec ond MT. Connors' efforts in pleasing the public of this city.

Pershing is the same model as has been shipped abroad during the peace conference. The same model IS used by General Tasker H. Bliss, General Peryton c. March, Lieutenant Gen eral Bullard, Lieutenant General Hun ter Lggett and Major General liar bprd.
 An official of the Locomobile com pany said today that over 2,OO0 such cars had been purchased by the gov ernment since the start of the war, and have been highly commended by the government. It Is said that these cars are the first hmousines that have attained speed of 80 miles an hour under such conditions as have been found in battered France and Bel gtum.
 All of the automobiles were built and assembled in Bridgeport, and trial speed tests, under the careful eye of Dario Resta, the Italian speed king, and one of Americas foremost racing drivers.
 The accompanying picture released by the Committee on Public Informa- ton, shows General Pershing in con-
