Troops Say German Losses Throughout Five Days
 Were Appalling. ONE OF AMERICANS
 MACHINES MISSING Seen Going Down During the Fight Believe Avia-
 tor Has Been Saved.

With the French Army in France, Thursday, June 13, the Associated Press)-Five days sufficed to stay the German offensive be- tween Montdidier and Noyon, whose objective was Com iegne.
 Despite long preparation the Ger mans were unable to overcome French resistance and brilliant coun- ter attacks by the Allied troops took back everything of importance that fell into the hands of the enemy dur ing the first rush with large masses of troops. The Germans certainly gained some little ground, but their design failed in its great lines
 Troops who participated in the bat tie as we'll as prisoners are unani- nous in declaring that the German losses throughout the five days were appalling.
 The French now occupy a much better line for resistance along this front than before the battle, having strengthened out a dangerous sa- lient.
 Two German aeroplanes were de- stroyed and another apparently was driven down out of control by Ameri- can aviators on the Foul front today
 Three American fighting aeroplanes attacked a German patrol machine at a height of 2,000 metres. The German fled toward St. Mihiel with the Americans in pursuit and then to behind the German lines at Thiau- court, where the enemy machine was brought down.
 The other Germans were accounted for in a fight with a German alba tross circus of 12 machines and three American fighting aeroplanes which went to the aid of two photograph ing aeroplanes under attack by the Germans. The battle took place a1 q height of 5000 metres over Norroy, north of Pont a Moussons. One Ger man machine was shot down in fam es while the other is believed to have Eeen crippled.
 One of the American machines is missing. It was seen to go down ir a nose dive during the fight, bu! i: is believed that the aviator landed safely and was made prisoner by tho Germans. All the other American machines escaped unscathed.

AGED HUSBAND CALLS WIFE VILE
 NAME IN COURT
Motion for Increased Ali mony Argued in Su-
 perior Court.

Motion for an increase in the amount of alimony pending the trial of the divorce action between Charles H. Hawes of Milford against Elizabeth J. Hawes and an allowance to defend was argued this morning before Judg9 John P. Kellogg in the Superior court. The husband, who is 7S years of age, brought suit year ago on the ground of infidelity but lost his case His wife, who is under 40, was able to defend the case successfully.
 It is very evident that there exists great deal of bitterness on the part of the aged husband. As he passed his wife in the court room this morn ing he called her an unprinta ble name and glared at her inadvertently. The suit, which is now pending, is being brought on the ground that the hus- band has gotten new evidence on the grounds of infidelity.
 The wife alleges that her husband has a comfortable income while he maintains, although he owns property ir Milford, that his income is only $900 year. Some time ago he was ordered to pay her alimony of s5 a week and this morning Judge Kellogg directed that this be raised to s7 a week and also gave the wife an allow ance of $50 for counsel fees.

The Remington Arms and Ammuni- ton Co.,, who make about per cent of all the arms and ammcnition used by the Allies, want 5000 hands. Bull lard Machine & Tool Co.,, who have two plants engaged almost entirely in government contracts, wish to increase it's working force by 5000. The Ordnance Department of the Army, which is to occupy a ten story build ing now under construction on Main street, corner of Bank street, will em- ploy at least 1,500 people.
 The Remington Arms & Ammuni- tion Co.,, between Christmas and New Years, laid off 5000 hands and in February 5000 more owing to the cancellation of the contracts for Rus sian guns. United. States contracts have been secured, however, and the company wants 5000 men added to it's working force as soon as possible, The head of the employment depart ment states that 10,600 people are now working for the company, which is a gain of 2,500 since January 1, while the capacity of the plant is between 15.000 and 16,0OO and 5000 will be put to work as soon as the factories now being built are completed.
 The estimated increase in popu1a- ton the coming summer is:
 Ordnance, 1,500; Bullard Machine & Tool Go, 5000; Remington-U. M. c. Co.,, 5000, and Remington Arms, 5000.
 It is expected that in all between 16,500 and 17,00O workers will be needed, which would add to the pop- ulation between 30,000 and 35,O09 people. The officials of the diE1erent concerns say that they will consider themselves lucky to secure for the summar 5000 to 1000 workers, in- creasing the population from 13,oOO to 15.000.
 While the exact sites of the new homes to be built by the Bridgeport Housing Co., with the government ap- propriation of s3,000,00O, have not been determined, conditions have been thoroughly looked into and at the meeting today of the executives l and the government officials from Washington, final arrangements vii! l probably be made.
 The houses are to be of brick and are to be on the type similar to the Remington city homes.
 The present crowded conditions must be relieved and it is hoped that by the end of summer this will be ac. ] complished.

 The story of the relentless track ing of Balint by Detective Tom Ma lone, affords some of the best read ing in the annals of the local detec- tive service, and when Malone went to New York yesterday with the ad- dress of his man and requested the New York city police department to furnish him with one of their men to make the arrest, the metropolitan po- lice heads sat up and took notice.
 According to the history of the case, Balint went into HajnaPs butch CT shop on the evening of October 10, 1916 to purchase some meat. Haj- nal, served him and feeling drowsy sat down in his chair again and took nap. While he slept Balint, is &C., cused of extracting s370 from his trousers pocket and decamped. Haj- nal immediately raised the alarm and it was not until yesterday that Detec- tive Tom Malone, who was assigned to the case was able to locate and land his man.

TEXT OF LETTER
 SENT BY PRESIDENT
War Board Decided Men Employed by Companies
 Had Right to Join Union

Washington, June IA - Evidence that President Wilson intends to see that the recommendations of the Ma tional War Labor Board are followed to the letter was seen today in the text of his communication to the heads of the two great telegraph com panies asking that they accept the boards findings in the controversy with their employees.
 The fact that the president had personally taken up the case became known last night with the announce ment of Clarence H. Mackay, presi- dent of the Postal Telegraph Co.,, that his company would waive it's right to discharge men who have joined a union and that Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, would send his answer on Monday.
 The war labor boards decision in the case was that the men should be allowed to join unions.
 The presidents letter to the tele- graph heads. made public today, reads.
 My attention has been called to the fact that the national war labor board, after careful consideration of the questions at issue between thu, telegraph companies and their em- ployes, have arrived at a decision the essential points of which are embraced in the following:
 q. The employees have a right to join a union if they so desire, and men discharged for joining the union should be reinstated.

 It was said at police headquarters today that it would require large sized moving van to transfer the goods found in the rented rooms in the house next door to her residence in which more than a patrol wagon load of loot had been discovered last night.
 From an early hour this morning police headquarters was crowded with department heads, salesmen, sales ladies, foorwalkers and store detect ives from every department store in the city and they were busy up to a late hour this afternoon picking out stuff which had disappeared in a mysterious manner from the shelves
