The first of these factors is the un. doubted loyalty to the United States of the big majority of the machinists
 The second is the fact that the members of the Bridgeport Local pledged their word to the government they would abide by the decision of the board no matter what award night be made.
 The third is that it is compulsory for the men to remain at work turn ing out munitions for our soldiers al the front.
 And fourth, but perhaps the most important, is that the leaders of the i International Union have ordered the men to remain at work and keep thei1 l faith, not alone with the government 1 but with the men who are fightins and dying on the bloody battlefelds ] of France so that they may be pro tected.

 It was then decided to hold a mas

ject, and are already preparing to care for the quota of disabled men.
 Secretary of the State Board of Ed ucation c. W. Hine and State Super visor of Vocational Industries Trinder 'of Hartford have just returned from an extended tour of Canada, for the purpose of Investigating the Cana dian plans for the re-educational work of disabled soldiers. It was found that Connecticut has more facilities at
 present, with plenty of room and fla cilities for expansion, than the whole Dominion of Canada. The State will be in position to provide for the re- turned disabled soldiers, by the ex- tension of her present facilities.
 This fact is most remarkable when it is considered that Canada has been engaged in war for four years, and this country has been actively en- gagged about one year and a half It will be a source of considerable cona- fort to the relatives and friends of the soldiers to know that in the event of the men coming back unable to fol- low up their previous work. the State will be ready to help in such a man. ner that they not only will be self supporting, but in many cases wilt be able to receive training and ed- ucation that in normal times would have been impossible.

STRINGENT RULES FOR CONDUCT OF
 ALL ALIEN WOMEN
U. $. Marshal Middlebrook Takes Action to Restrict
 Movement of Germans.
MUST GIVE NOTICE
 OF ADDRESS CHANGE
Permits Require Similar to Those Needed by Men, h.
 ternment Is Penalty.

Failure through ignorance or negli- alien women to observe the strict let ter of the rules governing their move ments in this section of the country has caused United States Marshal Middlebrook at Hartford, to issue de- tailed and stringent orders to the authorities in Bridgeport
 In the order just issued by the marshal it is decreed that all alien enemy women must not change their address without notifying the regis tration officer in their district. Fail ure to do will be the occasion for their immediate arrest and possible internment for the duration of the war.
 Those who wish to change their abode from the one now occupied must secure a permit from the regis tration officer of their district, who has the power to grant or refuse such permit In the event the registration officer to grant a permit for the change of address the applicant is empowered to take an appeal from the decision.
 The order reiterates the necessity of enforcing these rules to the letter and the conclusion drawn is that the authorities have become cognizant o1 the fact that some enemy alier women have overlooked the import ance of the orders governing theil ! movements in this section of the country.
 No specific cases were quoted, bu it is understood that in the recent U. boat operations along the coast move ments of many German women were watched closely by the authoritie! and it is thought that the latest or. ders calling for the drastic enforce Continued on page 2)

This territory includes all of Con necticut and Western Massachusetts, and has under it's control many of the most important war industrial plants in the country.
 It is said that MT. Hanson was at first unwilling to take charge of such an enormous undertaking, as his du- ties in the locad Trade School took most of his time, but the Ordnance Department was of the opinion his services are a necessity and would have inducted him into the service if he had persistently refused or tho state refused to allow him to accept the position. In fact 1t is understood the matter was taken up with Wash ington, and it was left to the govern ment officials to decide whether his work in the State Trade Schools was as important as the Regional work would be. Finally a compromise wa; reached, and MT Hanson will do the Regional work. and at the same tim oversee the State Trade School.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-29

The undertaking is to establish schools for intensive training in spe- cial lines for men and boys, which will in a short time enable them to return to the plants and speed up their output to one and half times the amount turned out by an ex- perienced man. They will be known as "Nestibule Schools" and will be established by the industrial compan- ies. In the case of small concerns several will be combined, and com petent teachers will be in charge NJ. Hanson will see to the ablishment of the school rooms, selection cf teachers and machinery, and the ap- pointment of supervisors for the sub districts.
 Later the work will be extended to women and girls, who will be trained in the lighter branches of machine and bench work, thereby releasing men for the heavier labor.
 MT. Hanson has already started i1 his new work, and IS very much pleas ed with the progress 50 far.

West of Arras the Germans have launched heavy counter attacks which were repulsed, according to the Brit ish official report, but it is admitted by London that the British forces holding positions at Oppy have been withdrawn to the west of that village.
 The Germans apparently are fight ing rear guard actions along the Canal du Nord, which runs from Noyon to Vesle. The French are close to this waterway at Fresnoy wood
 The situation as it stands today closely resembles that in the Marne sector after the Germans had made a determined stand along the Ourcq. It was found that their resistance there had permitted the withdrawal of the main German army of the Marne sal tent, and it is potable that Gen. Von Boehn has succeeded in moving the
