DIR, CASON AND THE BOY SCOUTS
Orlando Reporters Starr

(OrlanuO hepUTIel -otdi'J
Last night DR.. |. r. Cason invited
the Boy Scouts of Orlando to his
church for special service. They came
almost to the full roster, with Scout
master Trimble in charge. AS they
marched down the aisle in uniforms
OF kahki, they were a fine soldierly
looking company Of boys, of whom
Cyery mothers heart could be proud,
ana whom later will make the heart
Of their city, country, state and even
the United States proud of them
Dr. Cason has the boy still in his
heart, as every good man has, and
this made him meet his audience as
one of them, for there was much wis
dom in his talk, much kindly advice
and much fun, illustrated by telling
anecdotes. He took as his line OF talk
the story of Daniel and his men, who
for conscience sake, refused to defilC
themselves with the kings wine ant
meat, and begged to be fed on pulse
ami water The master at arms feared
to anger the king by waste in the vi
tally of his men, but found that they
gained in flesh and purity Of coun
tenance by the new fare.
Or. Cason showed the boys wha
conscience meant to men, and tolt
them that where a man or boy lab
ored without purpose and withou
conscience as their guide, they lab
ored in vain

to follow, and told them they coul

FARFEL CHARGED WITH DISSIPATION
 BY AUTHORITIES

Joseph. F'arfel, familiarly known as 'tRed FarfeI' to the members of the boxing fraternity about Bridgeport, was arrested today at his home, 726 Pembroke street, by the military squad of the police department upon the charge & desertion from the United States army and is being held at headquarters for the military ad- thorities.
 According to the police, Farfe1 has been given every chance to rejoin his unit at Camp Merritt, N. J., but he either failed to realize the gravity of his offense, or simply ignored the or ders he received to return to his regi- ment.
 When ordered to leave Bridgeport some time ago by Assistant Superin- tendent of Police Suckley, Farfel pretended to have left the city and returned with the story that his com pany had gone to France while he was in Bridgeport.
 r. When he originally came to Bridge port on leave of absence April 8, .he had pass good for "A hours. He hung around the city until April IS, and was ordered to leave on April 15. Apparently he did not leave the city, and in them eanti1ne numerous tele- grams had been sent the auth horities from the commanding officer of his regiment ordering the Bridgeport po- lice to place him under arrest.

Women Sufferers May
 Need SWamp-RoOt

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trou- ble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder di- sease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle immediately f9om any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Klmer & Co.,, inghamton, N. ', for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention The } Bridgeport EimeS.~-kfx.

BRITISH BETTER THEIR POSITION ABOUT ALBERT
 ALLIED AIRMEN ACTIVE
(Continued from Page One)

that the enemy is feeling out his ad- versaries, who realize that the long CT the Germans hold off their new attack, the heavier it is likely to be.
 Southwest of Ypres the Germans are massing large bodies of troops on the northerly leg of the salient, prob ably in preparation for further, at tempts to overcome the Mont Kem- mel positions and outf1ank Ypres. They have carried out small raids in the vicinity of La Bassee and Festu- bert, where the southern leg of the salient joins the old battle line. In the center the British have further improved their position around Ro- becq.
 On the Picardy battle field the Ger mans show increased activity north of the Somme to Albert. This is at the base of the triangle whose apex is the junction of the Somme and the Ancre rivers, almost directly east of Amiens.
 It is not improbable that the Ger mans may attack simultaneously the British lines in Flanders and those directly north of the Somme in an effort to wipe out the strong Arras position. Field Marshal Haig has held stubbornly to the Arras sector for a month and his line south of Albert has fought off numerous enemy at- tacks since the first week of the of fensive movement. South of the Somme the German artillery fire con- tinues strong on the Montdidier-Noy- on sector.
 Anglo-French airmen are harass- ing the enemy by dropping many tons of bombs on his military establish ments behind both battle fronts. In aerial fighting 37 German aero planes have been accounted for by Allied aviators.
 The Germans have not repeated their attack on the American lines east of St. Mihiel.
 Canadian Army Headquarters in
 France, April 23-(By Canadian
 Press)-The Canadians during the last 12 hours have raided the German lines at seven points, gassed the
 enemy with thousands of lachryma- tory and lethal shells, harassed him
 by special artillery shots, swept his trenches with machine gun and rifle
 fire and hammered his front line witt l trench mortars.

SENATOR PHELAN BACK OF WILSON
 IN MOONEY CASE

Washington April 23-The case of Thomas J. Mooney, convicted in San Francisco of a bomb plot, held. the attention of the senate today with Senator Phelan of California defend ing the regularity of Moneys trial Senator Phelan commended Presi- dent Wilson for asking a respite for Mooney from Gov. Stephens
 Referring to the address yesterday of Senator Poindexter of Washing ton, who said Seattle labor leaders were fomenting a strike in behalf of Mooney, Senator Phelan, he thought, Senator Poindexter had reflected on Caifornia's courts in connection with Mooney's trial. The Washington senator said he had defended the California courts.
 The presidents interference in be- half of Mooney, Senator Phefan as- serted, was justified in order to vim dicate the United States and the reg ularity and fairness of Moneys treat ment in view of the doubt of his guilt credited in the minds of many people," Senator Phelan said Mooney was ''an unworthy man" and that the newspaper of which he had been editor, had threatened Presi- dent Wilson with assassination"
 The report of tha% labor comn1is- sion, headed by Secretary Wilson which investigated the Mooney case couched for the fairness of Mooney's trial, Senator Phelan said.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-23

In some of the raids sharp fighting developed, in one instance protracted hand to hand fighting taking place, this struggle being so intense that the Canadians were unable to take prisoners. The seven raids together netted five prisoners and two machine guns. Two of the prisoners have since died.
 From dusk until dawn the whole front has been lively north and south of Lens. The cease1ess rumble of our heavles, which are neutralizing hos tile batteries by calculated and con- tinuous gas she1ling, has been &C., companied by the sharper chorus of our field artillery, carrying out a par ticularly harassing fire program. Periodically our artillery fire has reached a barrage intensity in sup port of raid;ug parties.
 Regularly the Boehe lines have been lit up with scores of flares. The enemy has been forced to fire his guns under gas clouds and in gas masks and has made answer to our general raiding and gas activity by projecting much tear gas against our positions north of Lens.
 This projection was bigger in vol une than anything ever before at tempted against the Canadians by the enemy. Its effect beyond discomfort was slight.
 Our 4.5 howftzers obtained six di- rect hits On concrete shelters in the Avion district.
 Encountering gas in raidfng opera tions one of our patrols consisting oi one officer and 10 of other ranks donned masks and proceeded into tht enemy trenches until they encountered hostile party of IS. A lively fight ensued with bombs and rifles.
 Early in the morning a one hou1 battle occurred beteen patrols undel l cover of a smoke barrage from gren. ades. Our men entered the enemy. line, bombed dugouts and killed two and wounded one, and obtained valu. able information

Continued from Page One,)
 An attack on these ports by the Br 6h fleet has been urged but the British naval authorities apparently regard the land defenses as too strong to make this practicable. Various measures have been adopted to de- stroy German submarines on entering or leaving these ports. Field Marshal Haig's offensive in Flanders last sum- mer was generally believed to have as one of it's main objectives the bend ing back of the German northern flank so as to deprive the enemy of these two ports.
 Washington, April 23.-News of the British raid on the German sIlbma- rine bases in Ostend and Zeebrugge and of the attempt to bottle up those harbors was received with great in terest in the navy department. The move was taken as another definite step in the carefully planned cam paign against the submarines which, it has been repeatedly predicted, 1FoAId begin to show material results about this time.
 The recent raid of the British grand fleet into the Cattegat, when 10 Ger man trawlers were sunk, was said to have been another of the steps to prevent the egress of the submarines.
 It has long been established that the principal bases of the submarines that operate in those waters around the British Isles are in the captured Belgian ports. The wharves, work shops and basins of those harbors frequently have been bombed by AL | lied airmen.
