NAVAL OFFICERS
 NAIL A GERMAN
 PROPAGANDA LIE

Officers at the Naval station have nailed another German propaganda lie, in regards to the Naval Reserve be- ing sent into the trenches in France to fight. This lie has been going the rounds of the city within the last few weeks and has caused several appli- cants to ask the officers at the Navy Recruiting Station on Cannon Street about these rumors concerning the use of the Naval Reserve in the trenches.
 The navy does not want recruits who are afraid to go wherever order ed, but such lies as these are only an attempt to exaggerate the American casualties.
 When asked this morning if the new order just issued preventing further enlistments in the army and navy had gone into effect at the Navy Recruit ing Station in this city, the officers stated that they had not yet received such orders and were still taking re- cruitS,

MOTOR VEHICLES IN CONNECTICUT
 NUMBER S3,7OO

The 1918 new and enlarged edition of the Connecticut Motor Vehicle Reg ister, prepared by the commission on motor vehicles, is being issued at the rate of 25O copies a. day, and will be put on public sale when the subscrip- ton list is filled. The register shows that there are in the state S3,705 motor vehicles, divided as follows: 61, = 400 passenger cars, a13,4OO commer- cial cars, 2,S00 public service cars, A. 1S6 motorcycles, 1.400 motorcycles with side cars, AIS automobile deal CTS cars, 34 dealers motorcycles. and seven manufacturers cars. The list shows the make, model, year of manu- facture and manufacturers numbersof each car. New 1918 cars are indicat- ed by a cross.
 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stockel and Deputy Com missioner John A. Macdonald have prepared an exhaustive and instruc- tive preface to the register which should be read carefully by all Con- necticut automobile drivers Partic- ularly valuable is ean article on the various causes of motor vehicle acci- dents: cutting in," improper park ing and skfdding. Commissioner Stoeckel, who is making an intensive study of automobile accidents, has written an analysis of accidents with directions for avoiding them. In the course of the article Commissioner Stoeckel announces that the commis- sion will be severe in dealing with drivers who cause accidents by at- tempting to pass other cars without ascertaining whether they have a clear road of the car they are trying to pass.
 Some drivers seem to be tempera- mentally unfitted. to stay in the rear of any vehicle at all, or until proper opportunity to pass is presented" writes the commissioner. With such. and in general with all offenders of this nature, the department will be severe" Skidding accidents are often. caused, Commissioner Stoeckel writes, because of the common idea that the way to go down a slippery hill is to coast down with the clutch out, whereas the only safe thing to do in such circumstances is to keep the en- zine in gear. Five pages of instruc- tive diagrams accompany the article on accidents.
 The Connecticut headlight law,with list of devices which will meet the laws requirements, is reprinted in the front of the register. There is also an article contributed by the Public Utili- ties Commission upon Railroad Crcss- Ing Protection" with a chart explain Ing the details of crossing signs and other matters. The State Highway Department contributes an article up= on the general subject of cooperation between the department and the driv- CTS and owners of motor vehicles.
 The new edition of the register will be for 10000 copies, and the depart ment of motor vehicles IS dling orders as fast as it can handle them. App plicants for the book will be taken care of in order of application. The price of the register is s1 a copy,whic approximately covers the expenses of publication and distribution.

BRADLEY RALLIES AFTER OPERATION
 AT ST. VINCENT'S

It was reported by one of the med ical staff at St. Vincent's hospital this afternoon that Louis Bradley, AS, of PIP River street, foreman of the Com pressed Paper Box Co.'S plant, who was shot three times early yesterday morning by Joseph Develogus, of 147 Thompson street, was slightly improv- ed and that if he succeeded in hold ing out for another 4S hours the chances are good for his complete re- cOvery,
 Joseph Develogus, the near assassin, was arrigned before the city court again today and his case was ordered continued pending a report from the coroner who has already taken an ante-mortem statement from Bradley at the hospital.
 Bradley's improved condition is due to the fact that the medical authori- ties at St. Vincent's hospital operated upon him yesterday afternoon and were rewarded early this morning to see a decided change for the better in the condition of the wounded man.

WA|NER ARRESTED
 FOR VIOLATION OF SABOTAGE ACT
Alleged He Flooded Output of Liberty Ordnance Go.
 With Bad Shells.

Edward P. Wainer, the ex-foreman at the Liberty Ordnance company who was arrested Wednesday on a charge of violating the sabotage act by holding up production at that plant and later released on 5000 bonds, was re-arrested yesterday at the plant of the American Grapho- phohe company where he had gone to work His bonds were immedi- ately raised. to $2O,O0O and he was committed to the Fairfield county jail to await his hearing before United States Commissioner Lavery Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 According to the investigations of the officers of the army intelligence bureau it was found that Wainer had been flooding the output of the Lib erty Ordnance company with worth less shells. Wainer in his capacity as a foreman in the shell department of the plant, it is alleged, authorized the output from the factory for govern ment use of shells that had been marked for reconstruction by the in spectors.
 It is not yet known how many of  these shells were shipped for govern ment use before Wainer's machina- tions were discovered. The army in telligence officers have advanced no theory as to Wainer's motive in pass ing the worthless shells and the man himself makes no statement relative to the charges. A detailed investiga- tion is being carried on to ascertain if German money was being advanced to Wainer.
 It is also revealed that Wainer, who is a. Dane, was dishonorably dis charged from the United States Army and served time at Ft. Leavenworth military prison for his offense, and served under an assumed name while in the army.
 Wainer's re-arrest was brought about yesterday at the instigation of an investigator from the United States District Attorneys office. He
 assured MT. Iavery that the Offense charged against Wainer was a grave
 one and that his bonds must be raised
 to prevent his escape. His arrest fol- l lowed.

BRIDGEPORT WELL
 PROTECTED FROM UNSAN|TARY MILK

District Attorney Alexander L. De- Laney of Bridgeport, has notified Dairy Commissioner Thomas Holt of the conviction of William Curran, for selling milk after his farm had been put under the dairy commissioners ban because of unsanitary conditions. Curran was fined $25 and costs and warned that if he persisted in selling milk until he had complied with cer- tain orders of the dairy commissioner he would be sent to jail.
 Earlier in the year the Bridgeport Board of Health inspected Curran' S farm and ordered him to stop the sale of milk until further notice. It was later found that Curran was still selling milk surreptiously at night, and the case was brought to the atten- tion of Commissioner Holt. An in- spection was ordered as a result of which Curran was again ordered to sell no milk until he had cleaned up his farm to the satisfaction of the dairy commission. The prosecution is the result of Curran's refusal to obey the order. Commissioner Holt thinks that few more convictions of recalcitrant dairymen may con vince people in the state that the dairy law is provided with teeth.
 As far as milk goes, Bridgeport is, said Commissioner Holt, to be the best protected city in the state. An ordinance requires that all milk sold in the city either shall be pasteurized or shall be Grade A, raw milk from herds which have passed the standard tuberculin test. The ordinance was passed in April, 1917 and at the time farmers in and near Bridgeport were thrown into consternation. The fi- nal result was a combination of a large majority of the milk producers in that vicinity to finance a $30,000 plant for the pasteurization of milk produced by members of the com bination.

WATER SPORTS BIG EVENT AT
 SEASIDE PARK

(Continued From Page One)
 says will be able to swim as we'll as he in the course of a year or two
 Ludy Langer of Los Angeles, the national S8O yards champion, has been released from service and will appear in the title event. He has a great following among swimmers and will attract a great deal of attention.
 Leo Giebel, one of the fastest of the younger swimmers, will also be pres ent. Gibel holds the interscholastic 100 yards championship, and when he enters college this fall will take a high rank among the college swim mers. Last winter he swam at dead heat with Dick Mayer, captain of the Yal team, in the races between Yale and the New York Athletic club.
 Among the celebrated women swim mers may be mentioned Miss Char lotte Boyle, who recently defeated Miss Claire Galligan for the national championship at the halfmile distance There will be about 15 women's en- tries in all, including three local girls, Miss Doris Payne, Mrs. Annie B. Payne, Miss Florence Damon.
 Miss Helen Wainright, the 12-year- old wonder, will be one of the contest ants in the fancy dive for women, and Miss Wainwright will also swim a special 1OO-yard race with Miss Eileen Riggen. St&siNH H A race of real local interest will be the relay races between teams of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.,, the Bull | lor To +I,a | Co. This race will be at 40 yards. Each team will have four members, and when a first man has gone 110 yards the second man will take up the race, and so it will be carried to com pletion.
 All of these great swimmers have been secured only upon the under ] standing that this is a patriotic un- dertaking. The War Savings Com mittee is going to use the opportunity to increase Bcidgeport's already large total of War Savings sales. Admission will be charged of two Thrift Stamps | $50 cents, and to the comittees view this amounts to no charge at all, because thep urchasers may apply .. them upon their pledges already made and also have the best and safest in- vestment in the world as we'll as lend ing their savings to the government to help in winning the war;. In case however, persons cannot buy Thrift Stamps admission may be secured by
 paying a straight charge of 5 cents which money will be used for paying the expenses of the meet.
 Parking spaces for automobiles ma! be had from the traffic squad who
 will be in attendance at the meet by the purchase of $5 War Savings ol
 Thrift Stamps.
 The gates will be open at 12 o'clock The meet will commence promptly a i1:15 and will be over by 4.

Health Conditions
 Better Than 1917

The report of the Health Depart ment for the month of July shows a slight improvement over the condi- ton of the city over the same month last year. Diphtheria cases are more numerous than last year, being 2S against 16 for July 1917, but the deaths last year were three, while there were no deaths this year.

NO MORE RECRUITS
 TO BE ACCEPTED

Under government orders the United States Army recruiting station in this city at IS Fairfield avenue will not take any more recruits until re- ceipt of further instruction. It has been found that so many mechanics whose work was vitally essential in the munition factories have been quitting their benches and joining the army. This has become serious problem for the intuition factories so that the selective draft plan will now go over a mans questionnaire and as- certain his qualifications before al- flowing him to cripple the intuition in- dustry by joining the army.
 Several men were turned away at the recruiting station this morning and will now await advises from their draft boards
