CALL HELD FOR
NEXT Term OF
SUPERIOR court

Joseph Gall, alias Joseph Willard
alias Variag, and Frank Csondos,
who were arrested Jan. 16 for looting
the butcher shop owned by John Den
irjin 1902 Maplewood avenue, and
who confessed to having robbed stores
and residences in the vicinity OF
Bridgeport to the extent of $4,000
were yesterday held in $1,000 bond
by Judge Wilder in the city court.
Gall is a self-confessed convict
from the state prison of New Jersey
at Trenton, and is alleged to be the
leader of a gang of cracksmen who
have been 1ooting homes and stores
in the West End for the past two
months.
Another man arrested and held for
the Seymour auth critics is August
Krisky, who is said to live in Wal
lingford. This man is believed by
the local authorities to be part of the
gang headed by Gall. and a rigid in
vestigation is being made into his
movements for the past few years by
the police all over the state.
Gall and his alleged gang have
made a speciality of saloons and pawn
shops. although from the evidence
brought in they have not turned VI
| their noses at delicatessen stores OF
clothing shops. The loot recovered
from the prisoners by the Bridgeport
detective bureau contains nearl!
everything from shaving brushes tc
anti-skid chains for autos.

U. S. AVIATORs
HURL TO EARTH
GERMAN FOES

Paris, Jan. 25-American aviators,
some of whom are still in the French
service, have distinguished themselves
recently in encounters with German
fliers. Two German machines were
shot down last Saturday, one by Da-
vid Putnam of Brookline, Mass, and
the other by Austen R. Crehore of
Westfield, N. J.
Interest is added to Crehore's ex-
plot by the fact that he had been
rejected when he tried to enter the
American aviation servie on account
of a defective ear. This was at New
port News. He was determined, how
ever, to get into the war and came
to France at his own expense. He
was accepted here and has been flying
for a month on the battlefront. He
has a brother in the United States En-
gineer Corps in France and two 9TH
ers in the aviation service in America.
Two other American f1iers, Harry
F. W. Johnson of South Bethlehem,
Pa, and Landrum Ovington of Paris,
both in the Lafayette Squadron, at
tackled three German airmen January

He DESCENDED in the French lines and
was taken to a hospital, where he is
doing well. Ovington escaped I'M

form. Among those who have beer

MILITARISM is
NEW JAP ISSUE

Toxic, Jan. 25-The regular ses-
sion of the Diet was opened Tuesday
with every evidence of great interest
on all sides in its deliberations and es-
pecially in the speeches of Premier
Count Terauchi and Foreign Minister
Motono. The galleries were we'll filled
and among the diplomats present were
Roland S. Morris, American Ambas-
sador, and Baron Gonsuke Hayashi,
Japanese Minister to China.
After Count Motono had spoken
there were interpretations indicating
opposition to the governments policy
the lengthiest being that of Yukio
Ozaki, former Minister of Justice, who
inquired why when statesmen of the
Allies were declaring their determine
ton to break up militarism in Ger
many the Terauchi Ministry upheld
the militarists in China.

TRADE ACTIVITY
WELL SUSTAINED
BY THE BRITISH

London, Jan. 25.-The fourth year of
war has been remarkable for the sus-
tairSd activity Of trade, the contin-
uous and cumulative increases in
wages and the ferment in the en-
cheering and munition industries,
says the Daily Telegraph.
During the last Il months wage in
creases to workingmen exceeded 100,-
600 600 pounds and the increases dur
ing the three years 1915-16-17, together
with the rise in prices of commodities,
have completely revolutionized the
pre-war basis of British trade.
The unpleasant feature of the year
has been the growing discomfort and
unrest pervading large sections of the
workers and this is seen in the num-
Der of industrial disputes, often of the
most trivial kind. Official returns
from January to November indicate
there were 494 disputes during these
months affecting 647,724 workers and
causing the loss of over $500, 600 work
ing days, the greatest loss of time
being recorded during September, Oc-
tober and November.
| The number of persons employed is
the lowest on record, and throughout
the war period the figure has steadily
declined till it is now below one pei
cent

ELIZABETH OF FRANCE,

Elizabeth Philippine Marie Helene
of France, the sister of Louis XVI,
was born in May, 1854, and died by
the guillotine just 80 years later, in
May, 1884. She was devoted to her
brother, the king, and his family, and
preferred to remain with him rather
than marry. When her private estab-
lishment was fixed and she received
the sum of $4,000 francs annually with
which to purchase luxuries, she re-
quested that for six years the money
be given to a young favorite, whose
poverty prevented her marriage.
When the French Revolution broke
out she was confined with the royal
family in the temple, where she de-
voted herself to her fellow prison
ers. In May, 1894, Elizabeth was led
from the temple, and tried for carry
ing on correspondence with the king.
She was condemned to die, along with
"a other unfortunates. Elizabeth was
compelled to witness the execution of
them ALL before meeting death by the
guillotine without a single word OF
complaint against her judges.

RED FLOODED
men WIN OUT
They Are Always on Top

1t is a fact that red blooded men
and women are at the top in every
walk of life. Men and women with
the driving force of red blood, rich
in Iron and Phosphate do things, they
get results.
Red blooded women are the heads
of the happiest and most contented
homes, they have the will and the
desire to be real companions and
helpmates.
Leadership and happiness is only
for the man and women who are
willing to keep their blood and
nerves strengthened and nourished
with Iron and Phosphates.
A prominent doctor says, "It is a
crime that so many men and women
lack the rich, red blood and strong
steady nerve to achieve their ambi-
tons. 1t is all the more so because
thin, watery blood is unnecessary, as
rich, red blood and strong nerves are
within the grasp of everyone.
| Phosphated Iron makes pure blood
| by making new blood. 1t gives
strength, brings color to the cheeks,
increases the weight, and appetite,
drives away the blues and those
sleepless nights, steadies and renews
your nervous energy, maker you feel
like a live one once again"
There must be something to it.
Everyone who tries it is loud in praise
of Phosphated Iron, and you have got

Devanter. The last mentioned man
was released with no fine imposed
