CAPT. RUDD WILL
 ADDRESS CREDIT
 MEN AT BANQUET
J. H. Tregoe, National Treasurer of the Organiza-
 tion Will Speak.

Of great value to the commercial interests of our city will be the March meeting of the Bridgeport Association of Credit Men to be held at the Sea side club on Tuesday, March 26th, at z o'clock in the evening
 J. H. Tragoe of New York, secre- tary and treasurer of the National Association of Credit Men with which the local association is affiliated will be the principal speaker and as he is world renowned authority on busi- ness and credits his address is ex- pected to be timely and important one.
 Captain Arthur Rudd of the Atlantic division of the American Red Cross, who has served as special assistant to the American Ambassador at Petro- grad, will also deliver an address
 While in Russia Captain Rudd as- sisted in caring for prisoners of war and in aiding in other relief work. He spent five months in Moscow and four in Ufa near the Siberian line. The rest of his time was spent in various parts of Russia and Siberia.
 Having many friends among Rus sian officers and having been elected honorary captai by officers of an in- fantry regiment among whom he lived for four months, he has an under standing of Russian character and life that gives a vividness to his ad- dresses and a clearer interpretation of the Russian revolution through which he passed. Captain Rudd re- turned home the past summer via the Trans Siberian Railway and Japan and is now devoting his time in speak ing on Russia and in the interests of the American Red Cross. It may be of interest to know that Captain Rudd's sword was presented to him by a Cossack officer who carried it three years at the front when he re- ceived the cross of the Empress Anna for bravery.
 The men of Captain Rudd's regi- ment are proud of the fact that the regiment is made up only of men who have been wounded and eager to re- | turn again to the front. Captain Rudd is full of enthusiasm for the future Russia and is a bril- liant and forceful speaker. His per- sonal knowledge of Prussian atrocities | gives an earnestness to his address that carries conviction. Albert E. Lavery will be the toast master. A special menu will be served.
 At the recent meeting of the local association the following officers and committees were elected: resident-Leonard M. Allen, of Bridgeport Brass Company. President-Arthur N. Wheeler, of American Tube & Stamping Co. l ecretary-Charles R. Smoke, of Bullard Machine Tool Co. Ireasurer-Charles L. Wootton, of A. w. Burritt Company.

the Swiss banks that demands are to be made on them for funds. The final deduction, which is the most inn portant one, is-'Was Trotzy ap- preached in New York by German Agents, to start on his journey to Russia"
 There are only two conclusions. Either Trotzky is a German agent or these documents are forgeries. Trotzy has already been approached to deny the authenticity of these exhibits, and has indignantly refused to comment on them.

The angel Of death visited the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas N. Adams
May 18th, and took their infant son.
He was spared to them only five
months. but in that short time he had
so twined himself around u hearts
that it will always be a sweet memory
of his short life.
He was just old enough to begin
to know each one Of the family and
would in his baby cooling way try to
talk to us.
The home seems desolate without
him. but God needed him and we
must bow submissive to His will for.
we know that He eve makes a mis-
take.
Everything that skill and loving
hands could do was done for him,
but without avail, for God knew best
and gathered the precious bud that it
might bloom in His heavenly garden.
Grieve not dear father and mother
for YOU mourn not as one without
hone for we know where he is and
some day we will be a reunited fam
ily, where there will be no more sad
nartinc and no more good Dyes.
There was an angel hand in heaven.
That was not quite complete. So
God took our darling infant to fill
the vacant seat. Auntie.
