The Spirit of Us

This is the second "gasless" Sunday
for a people whose normal use of auto
mobiles is the most conspicuous example
of human extravaganza in the wide world.
The observance is voluntary. Therefore,
it is strict. It will be stricter to-day
than it was last Sunday. The lazy con-
science has felt the force of moral opinion.
We take at random one example. A
family party in a Ford car drove up to
country inn that lives by the patronage of
motorists, merrily decanted themselves,
and asked for lunch. The innkeeper de-
clined to serve them because they had
come in a motor. Explanations were of
no avail That Ford will stay in its
garage to-day.
That was not an uncommon experience
for "slackers" the first Sunday. Worse
things await those who on this second
day shall dare to put their pleasure be-
fore the war.
There is spirit among US that asks
only to be challenged. The satisfaction
we feel at having something done to US
on account of the war-something that
hurts-is a pregnant revelation. We
hardly know what it signifies. We are
almost afraid to ask. Yet we know in
tuitively that our spiritual possessions
are rich and unlimited and have been
hardly touched at all.
1t is commonly said and has been until
now believed that in the business Of war
an autocracy has obvious advantages
over democracy. We are disproving
that theory, and shall disprove it more,
not perhaps by physical efficiency, at
least not by that alone, but by what we
may call the efficiency of spirit--theA
spirit of the gasless Sunday which you
may see in every direction to-day.
Take the matter of prohibition. It was
the most hopelessy enotionalized ques-
ton we had. We had been struggling
with it for years and years, and might
have gone on struggling with it for
generation except that the Food Admin
istrator announced in the newspapers
Friday morning that in his opinion it
would help win the war to stop brewing
beer on December l. Wherefore it is so
ordered. 1t isn't even discussed. People do
not want it discussed. Nobody protests
The significance of this one thing is
wonderful 1t couldn't happen-at least
not in that way-in any other country
on earth. All the great conservation
measures have been handled by voluntary
effort. We need no food cards. 1t is
necessary only for Mr.. Hoover to say to
eat less Of this and more Of that in place
of it, or to stop eating another thing
entirely, and the results may be antici-
pated with statistical certainty
1t is again the spirit-the same spirit
that sends retired merchant of fifty
five, or minister of the Gospel, or a
Rabbi Wise, to be a rough erector or a
riveter in a shipyard, merely to satisfy
that dynamic urge which is our most
precious inheritance.

The Djiinn
(F'rom Poetrp)

(From Poetry)
TIME gaunt old man
i Who teaches Latin and Greek in High
School
Is not as old as he looks.
He has a lean, il-fed soul
And has missed the real nourishmcnt Of life
Because he has merely nibbled at it,
Canned,
Out of books
But the Recording Angel
Has inscribed one good deed to his credit.
When Jane Howe was oil edge to go as
n missionary to India,
Although her orphaned brothers and sisters
needed her at home,
He got Jane to read queer books
Tho Mahabarata and the Zend Avesta--
And they discouraged her
And opened her eyes to the impertinenco
Of going to India as missionary;
They impelled her to stay at home,
Where she helped to bring up the younger
children.
After q while she married n good providcr,
And has q family Of young and savage Amer
Who need her prayers and labors
Much more than the Hindoos.
They say that the teacher of Greek and
Latin
Was in love with Jane
If he he never breathed 1t.
He always hid his desires
And crushed them,
And never had the courage
Even to make to himself
The apology he thought they merited.
Sometimes the gaunt old man
Who teaches Latin and Greek in High
School
Sits in Wcnberg's Cafe
On rainy nights;
And in the hazy half-lighted room
Through the wavering smoke from many
cigars,
He suddenly looms up large
Like a Djinn out of bottle.

According to those who are in. a position to understand the matter this is very promising for a city the size of Bridgeport, as it is reported that other cities are reporting cases into the thousands, in fact it was rumored this morning that Hartford had up wards of 2,000 cases. It is believed to be undoubtedly due to the prompt action of the Health Department in making all information public as soon as possible, and to the sincere CO., operation of the people that Bridge port has so long escaped a dangerous epidemic.
 The Health officials stated this morning the greatest danger is in the cases where the patients do not call in the services of physician. as the patient while not necessarily in a dan- gerous condition becomes a carrier and spreads the disease among others by a lack of trained supervision of the case.
 Only one death from influenza has been reported to date, that of Dr.
 William Duclos, who contracted the malady while on visit to Camp Dev- ems, and who died in the Bridgeport
 hospital yesterday afternoon.
 The progress of the disease will be governed by the people themselves, ' l (Continued on Page Two),

GARDNER TELLS RAMBLING TALE OF BAD BEATING Editor of Labor Leader Found Unconscious at
 Hollister Avenue. CLAIMS ASSAULT BY
 PARTIES UNKNOWN Gave Ride to Men and Wo- men and Was Severely
 Beaten By Party.

Beaten almost to a pulp with both eyes closed and his nose broken, the unconscious form of Louis Gardner, of 337 John street, editor of the La Dor Leader, was found in his auto mobile at the corner of Hollister and Connecticut avenues at 7:45 o'clock this morning.
 A hurry call was sent to the Elmer gency hospital and after the mans injuries had been treated temporarily he was taken to the Bridgeport hos pital, where he is slowly recovering from the effects of the beating he re- ceived at the hands of unknown per- sons.
 The matter was immediately re- ported to Captain E. O. Cronan, chief of the detective bureau and Detective Sergeant George F. Simon was de- tailed to make an investigation of the affair. When seen at the hospital Gardner told the detective he did not want the affair to reach the newspa- pers and gave an account of the oc- currence which appeared to the po- lice as being somewhat rambling.
 Gardner said that as he was go- ing home about II o'clock last night (Continued on Page Two)

MISS WILSON ID ARRIVE HERE ON THE 5:57 TRAIN Unexpected Duties Causes Change of the Original
 Plan and Train. DINNER AT THE
 COUNTRY CLUB Only Residents of Maple wood District Gan Be Ac- commodated at Meeting.

A telegram has been received by the Community committee in the city, that Miss Margaret Wilson will not arrive until the 5:57 train, instead of on the 3:3S as formerly expected. Ow- ing to matters which were uneXpect- ed, Miss Wilson was obliged to change her plans, and was obliged to post pone her arrival couple of hours.
 The program for the afternoon and evening will not be changed, except that less time will be allowed for wis iting the school buildings to be used in the Community work. The com mittee will entertain Miss Wilson at dinner at the Brooklawn Country club as announced, and the exercises will open at the Maplewood school at 8 o'clock.
 Considerable misunderstanding has arisen about the city regarding the nature of the exercises at Maplewood school this evening. They are to be for the residents cf the Maplewood district only. as the other residents of the city will have the same oppor- tunity to organize and inaugurate en- tertainments in their respective dis l tricts. Therefore only those having | tickets with their name and address will be admitted. but no charge is to be made. Much to the regret of the committee it is necessary to limit the attendance, as any other arrangement is contrary to the Community idea | and the hall at the school has ca | pacity of 450 people only.
 At o'clock sharp the program will open with selections by the Maple wood school orchestra. P. V. Gahan as deputy of the Board of Education will then call the meeting to order and the first business will be the | choosing of a chairman. Singing bJ ] the entire gathering will then take place, and Make Wide the DoorwaI of the School, a song the words O which were written by Justice Wen. dell Phillips Stafford of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

CONQUER

Amsterdam, Sept. 26-"We must be victorious if we are not to perish politically and economically" Grand Admiral von Rooster, former com mander in chief of the German fleet, declared in a speech to the German navy league at Dortmund, a Berlin message reports.
 After the war;" continued the Admiral" our ships in large num- bers, must traverse the ocean and we must have colonies, with strong points of support. We want free trade on the seas and we will only get that under the protection of the Ger man feet
 The speaker eulogized the sword as a means to victory, declaring:
 "As nature needs storms, as God has given beasts teeth and claws, man also needs the sword.
 In referring to the proposed league of nations, Admiral von Rooster de- clared Germany would only have the role of a Cinderella in it.
