EXPECT LICENSE VOTE IN EVERY
 TOWN IN STATE
Prohibition Committees Go- ing Through Formalities
 to Bring Matter Up.

Hartford, Sept. 11-Whether towns in the state at their annual election next month will vote on license is now being determined in many &e them. The Connecticut Prohibition committee, it is said today, has urged all license towns where action can be taken to petition for a vote on the question.
 The attitude of the committee. when it appeared that war prohibition would go into effect on Jan. 1 next, was to have no campaign made for a vote, as it was not believed that any application for a license for the month of December only would be filed. Licenses in towns expire on; Dec 1. But as war prohibition will not be effective until July l next, the committee will urge it's members to try to carry as many present license towns for no-1icense as possible. The explanation Of the committee as to the desire for dry" towns is based on the theory that if war prohi- bition is good thing. and is a saving of fuel, food and transportation, then the sooner that saving can be effected the better for all concerned. The Connecticut Temperance Union which is also entering it's campaign for dry towns at the town elections announces that it's efforts are directed in the main in the matter of candi- dates for the Senate and House with the hope that we shall ratify the na- tionaI amendment when the tAzne, Gsrl Es=S GzSs

CORONER HOLDS
 BONJON FOR THE DEATH OF WALKER
Finds Former Alderman Game to Death by Crimi-
 nal Act of the Accused.

Coroner John J. Phelan had found that the death of former Alderman Daniel E. Walker, who was shot and killed on Saturday evening in the Walker saloon, was caused through the criminal act of Louis Bonjon.
 Through evidence it was shown that Bonjon had bought the revolver Saturday afternoon from a local dealer, who stated that at the time of purchase, Bonjon was sober and acted normally. Bonjon told him he wished to have an old rusty pistol, which he brought with him, cleaned and fixed. Meanwhile he bought a new one. The dealer gave him 12 cartridges, but Bonjon did not load the pistol in the store, it was stated.
 Although personal friends of Bon jon state that at times he did things which made them believe that he was suffering from some malady or diseased mind, still he often acted naturally. On the day of the murder, he is said to have been normal, but it is testified that he had gotten drunk in the saloon.
 Bonjon is held for appearance in the city court Friday morning. Up tc this time he has not uttered a word about the murder, although he is now well aware of the ofrense he is accus- ed Of

Copenhagen, Sept. 1.-The German Socialist party and the trade unions sent communication to Chancellor Von Hertling recently pointing out the growing dissatisfa action- among the population because of insufficient food,
 The communication says physical exhaustion has been caused, together with increased mortality among chil- dren and the aged.
 The statement asserts that the win ter allowance of potatoes will be only seven pounds weekly. It adds that the government is aware 'of the ex- citement among the people over these conditions and it declares the situa- ton will grow more critical if the government does not cease favorine the producing interests and provide sufficient food for the population.

TROOP SHIP TORPEDOED
2,8O0 American Soldiers on Board Every One of
 Whom Was Saved. GET SUBMARINE
 WITH DEPTH BOMB Trouble With Ships En- zines Had Caused Her to
 Lag Behind Convoy.

London, Sept. 10 (Tuesday) A troop ship with 2,80O American soldiers on board, has been torpedoed.
 All hands were saved.
 The troop ship was beached. In order to save time instead of launching the boats the men clambered down ropes to des- troyers which swarmed around the stricken vessel and came close alongside.
 This operation was greatly facilitat- ed by the fact that the sea was not rough.
 The troop ship was a member of a large convoy approaching the Eng fish coast The vessel was torpe- doed 200 miles from shore at o'clock on Friday afternoon.
 The transfer of the American sol- diers from the stricken vessel to es- corting British and American torpe- do boat destroyers was quickly made without injury to anyone.
 They all escaped injury when the torpedo exploded and they were soon on their way to British port.
 There was no sign of panic on board and the admirable behavior of the men was especially gratifying to the officers.
 Many of the troops came from Chi cago and Cleveland and a large per centage of them were factory hands of foreign extraction. Their behav- for proved that they had assimilated the true spirit of the American sol dier.
 Several soldiers told the Associated Press that they saw the German sub marine lifted clear out of the water after one of the depth bombs ex' ploded and then entirely disappear
 Something had gone wrong witt the troop ships engines which com pelled her for a time to lag behind the rest of the convoy, but the trou ble had been fixed up and she wa: fast catching up with the othel transports when a torpedo hit he just forward of the engine room.
 The vessel at once began to sinl by the bow. Many of the soldier at the time were taking baths. The. did not wait to dress, but made fo the deck with what little clothing they could hastily lay their hand on. The water was rushing in a such a rate that 1t was thought tn steamer would quickly founder.

The strike committee issued the fol-
 lowing statement today:
 Approximately 1,400 men on strike left Bridgeport up to yesterday. Most of the men have secured jobs in ma- chine shops doing government work
 and will contribute one-quarter of theEr weekly wages to the 5000 men
 still out. Some even said that they
 will give up one-half of their pay un
 til the men win.
 While it is too early to know
 whether sympathetic strikes will soon
 be called in other cities, the commit
 tee, however, which has been sent out
 to raise strike funds, has been as-
 sured financial support
 The strike finance committee esti-
 mates that $4O000 will be raised every
 week and each striker will receive an average weekly strike benefit of s1o." According to word received from Washington, President Wilson has announced his intention of taking up the question of the Bridgeport strike
 with the War Labor Board, the War Department and the Department of Labor for full consideration
 It is said the President desires the question settled quickly and for good so that the munition shops of Bridge port may resume their maximum production of munitions. Not only is Bridgeport being considered in the action expected to follow the taking
 up of the strikers appeal by the President, but it will also cover such places as Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Hartford, New Haven, and other munition centers where there is a likelihood of a walk out in sympathy with the Bridgeport machinists. This afternoon the cabinet took up the question of the Bridgeport strike
 and word is being awaited by the people of this city with tense interest as in all probability it will be de- cided today what steps the govern ment will take in holding the decision of the National War Labor Board, which made the award, satisfactory to
 everyone but the machinists' union.
 Alpheus Winter, chief examiner of the National War Labor Board, here since the departure of E. B. Woods, chief economist of the board, re- received official notification from Washington yesterday that he has been appointed permanent administra- tor of the Eidlitz award in Bridgeport. When asked last night if he would make immediate rulings on the de- mands of the 5000 strikers for a min irnum wage. and exclusive mediation committees, Mir. Winter said that the strikers would be ignored. and tha they had lost their representa- ation and i right to present demands when the1 i left work. The strikers are not GOV cred by the War Labor Board; thes are now independent citizens

The defense of Cambrai is likewise carried to the aggressive side by the Germans along the Canal du Nord, where the British stand far inside the Hindenburg line after having broken the Queant-Drocourt switch.
 In this aggressive movement the enemy last night sharply counter att tackled near Moeuvres, just to the east of Queant and at Ecourt St. Quentin, north of the Arras-C -Cambrai road. In both cases the British held their ground, repulsing the Germans in stiff engagements.
 In general the British are contin- uing to close in bn the Hlndenburg line by a series of small actions and manoeuvres. The lines in the north ern part of the battle zone have now been advanced through the village of Trescault, 3 1-2 miles southwest of Marcoing, to the eastern edge of the place, where the troops actually are in the old British trenches facing the Hindenburg line.
 The French drive in on La Fere, northerly defense of the St. Gobain bastion, is reported today to have made notable progress with the cap ture of the town of Trpvecy, on the Hindenburg line two miles directly north of La Fere The holding of this ground would result in the outfank- ing of La Fere on the northerly side. The Germans also have been attack
