PRIVATE STOKES
OF Filler CORPS
HIT IN BATTLE

Private Arthur Stokes, with the
aviation corps on the western front,
has been severely wounded in action
according to word received last night
by his mother, Mrs. Catherine Stokes,
of 1856 Park avenue. No details
have been forwarded by the War De-
partment as to how and when he was
wounded, but it is supposed the pop
ular Bridgeporter was hit while car
rying out observations.
According to word received from
the front the various aviation sec
tions are all working overtime to
give the Allies the supremacy of the
air and the Huns are being given no
rest by our fliers.
Before joining the United States
Army he was employed at the Blue
Ribbon Auto Body factory as a
draughtsman and pattern maker
Both his mother and his sister
Marguerite, who is a public steno-
grapher in the First-Bridgeport Ma
tional Bank building, are anxiously
awaiting further reports as to the
wounded mans condition and look
forward to the time when he will ar
rive back in Bridgeport to tell of his
battle with the Hun.

CORPUS CHRISTI
CELEBRATED TODAY

Today is Corpus Christi Day, in
peace times one of the most splendid
festivals of the Roman Catholic
Church. Old Seville, in Spain, is the
city most celebrated for its magnifi-
cent ceremonials on this day, while
perhaps the most novel and interest
ing of the days observances takes
place annually on the Indian reserva-
ton at Keshona, Wis, on the Menom-
moe, where Uncle Sans redskin wards
under the direction of priests and
nuns, will march in a gay procession.
Corpus Christi Day was instituted by
Pope Urban w. in 1864, in honor of
the Consecrated Host The day ap-
pointed for its celebration was the
Thursday after Trinity Sunday In
France the festival is generally OBJ
served as the Fete Dieu, under which
name it is known to the French peo-
pie of Quebec and other sections OF
America, while in Germany the festi-
val is called Fronleichnamsfest The
feast is in honor of the Eucharist.
In Catholic lands the Corpus Chris
It'll procession passes through the
streets of the cities, but in Protestant
countries it is confined to church
yards or to the church itself In Sc
vile the observance has for years ia
ken the form of great festival OF
flowers.

HOW The War Information BUREAU
is AIDING COUNTRf'S IMMIGRANTS

of the various factories, the libraries.
and SO forth. Weekly bulletins are
sent to $50 of these places. Especial
ly to meet the needs of the foreign
women three offices have been fitted
up at school buildings, to which the
mothers and wives are urged to
come.
Into Their Homes.
But, after all, an Office does not
wholly answer the purpose, nor even
an elaborate system of offices in diff
ferent sections of the community.
When an immigrant has learned
enough to make his way to an in
formation bureau, he is on the way
to dispensing with their ministrations
altogether. This means that the
workers must actually go out into the
field and into the homes of the for
eign population. Visits to their
households form large part of the
program of the Cleveland committee
By getting into close touch with the
families, the assistants can make a
study of their state of enlightenment
and discover the kinds of information
which they need most.
Because of the pronounced success
| of the Cleveland experiment, war
service bureaus for foreigners have
now been established in sever Al
American cities. Philadelphia was
the second city to undertake the
| work. The State councils of de-
tense have thrown their energies to
the support of similar plans, and the
United States Bureau of Education
is to, assume general supervision OF
| the enterprises. Within a few months
there will be a nationwide system oil
| information agencies for immigrants
No one expects that these Offices will
1 be cure-alls for the condition of ig-
norance in which many foreigners are
now living. Nothing will remedy
| that save thorough mastery of tbs
English language and a gradual edu-
cation in the principles of American
| citizenship. In the meantime the
| information bureaus are performing 2
| task of immediate importance, b5
| teaching the foreigners about The
great war and their own necessary
| part in it.

ASSISTS
PATTENBURCH TO
PAY COURT FINE

Edward J. Pattenburgh, 25, of 272
State street, who was arrested in the
Plaza theatre last night by Special
Oficer Chembellis, for violating the
ordnance against smoking, was today
fined 81 by Judge Wilder in the city
court when arraigned upon the
charge.
When he heard the size of the fine
Pattenburgh, began counting his
money and in a scared voice told one
of the court attaches that he had only
SITS with him and as he did not have
sufficient money he faced two days in
a cell.
Lieutenant James O'Neil, of Police
Headquarters hearing of the mans
predicament volunteered to stake
him to the twenty-five cents and Pat
tenburgh was able to pay his fine and
leave the court rejoicing.
He was loud in his thanks to the
lieutenant, but the latter merely dis
missed the matter by saying, Forget
it."

CROZIER VISITS
ITALIAN FRONT

Headquarters italian Army, June g..
General Crozier of the American
Ordnance department and member of
the Advisory War board has spent a
week of observation along the Ital-
ian front and at the various large
centers where artillery and munitions
are produced.
Besides seeing General Diaz and the
Duke of Aosta he visited a number of
the corps and division commanders
along the mountain and Pave fronts,
going into the trenches and among
the men, discussing the many uues-
tons of equipment and supplies and
specially observing the resources in
guns. His impressions on the general
conditions of affairs were entirely IA
vorable.
The production of artillery in Italy
has been greatly intensified within re-
cent months and the present equip
ment of light, field and heavy guns is
probably as good or better now than
it was before the reverse of last fall.
The great industrial plants of Genoa
and Milan have doubled and quadrup-

equipped to turn out complete air

A little booklet entitled General
Information and rulings for the en-
forcement of the law regulating the
manufacture, distribution, storage, use,
or possession of explosives and their
ingredients" by F. S. Peabody, AS
sistant to the Director in Charge of
Explosives, has this foreword:
THE operation of this law will
doubtless cause inconvenience to per-
sons engaged in legitimate business;
it may embarrass worthy citizens in
the pursuit of their livelihood; it may
necessitate the spending of money by
bringing about changes in operating
methods; but to all loyal citizens these
hardships will be slight and tempo
rary, and if we all cooperate in ma
king it an efficient law disloyalty will
suffer the penalty it deserves.
If you manufacture or sell explo-
sives, see to it that they pass from
you only to those who have lawful
need of them. If you use them, make
them produce coal or copper or wheat
or corn, and protect them we'll from
theft, in order that they may not be
used for destructive purposes.
Our enemies are not all in Europe,
and 1t was as a weapon to be turned
against those of them who are lurk-
ing here on our own soil that this law
was created. They wear no uniform
and do not fight us in the open; but
they are here plotting in various ways
to prevent the products of our mines
and our factories and our forests and
our farms from clothing and feeding
and arming our own fighting forces
and those of our allies.
To each of us is given the duty OF
producing his or her share of these
necessities and on each of us falls
portion of the responsibility of coun-
teracting the attempts of those who
are working behind our backs to
make our efforts Intellectual; and So
to each of us comes the chances OF
participation in the war. The part
we can play may be an inconspicuous
one. but it will be no less important
