FIRE BOARD SAYS
 INSURANCE RATES MUCH TOO HIGH

At a meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners held last evening Pres ident Leonard and Commissioners Cassidy and Brennan claimed the National Board of Underwriters are not doing anything for Bridgeport and that the local people should be given lower insurance rates. They said the people of Bridgeport are pay ing for fire losses in other cities which are not equipped with the apparatus of our city and do not have as much prevention for fires. These remarks were brought out when Superintend- Ent Platt reported that he feared the fire underwriters might criticize him over the lack of a larger circuit board.
 It was voted by the fire commits sioners to compliment the members of the department for the way in which they took care of the Burritt fire. They also had letters sent the Police and Cha Eties Departments, thanking them for the able assistance afforded at this fire. ,
 It was decided by the commission CTS that in case of large fire such as the Burritt fire, that three series Of six blasts be blown from the factory whistles as a signal to the f1remen off duty to report at once.
 The commissioners ordered that a check of $7,900 be sent to the makers of the second Robinson pumping en- zine this week.
 It was also decided to instruct Clerk John J. Hines of the fire board to send letters to the different draft boards asking that iremen of the draft age who have been in the service to the city for over three years be placed in Class 3. This matter was brought up because Thomas J. O'Leary, driver for the assistant chief, has been put in Class 1 and may be called for service. O'Leary has been in the department over three years and Chief Johnson is going to try and have him reclassified.

CONFIDENCE IS ALLIES KEYNOTE VICTORY IN SIGHT After 80 Hours Fighting Huns & Behind Objective Set
 For First 24. AMERICANS WORK HIGHLY PRAISED They Have Performed Part As
 signed to Them With
 Skill and Courage.

With the American Army in France, July IS, 6 p, m.---By The Associated Press. )---With nightfall of the fourth day of the battle east and west of Rheims a feeling of confidence per vades the Allied lines, After 80 hours of assault along lines of his own se- lection the enemy's offensive seem lngly failed. He still is behind the objectives set for the first days at tack.
 Furthermore, his gains during the entire operation Were considerably smaller than those of any of his pre- vious offensives during the present year.
 While the American force engaged In the present battle is small in com parison with the total Allied strength, 1t may be said that it is greater than any participating in a battle since the Civil war, and the condct of the men Is eliciting the commendation of the French. They have performed the part assigned to them with steadi- ness, courage and skill.
 To a large portion of the Ameri- cans these four days have been their t1rst real fighting. Reports from along the lines indicate a great deal of clean, open warfare, some spontane- ous localized actions being undertaken without a preliminary barrage, and IL Is in actions of this character that the American units have won the praise of the French.
 The tone of Thursdays commu- niques and likewise the success of the counter attacks begun early today have infected the French and Amer ican troops with high confidence in the outcome of the great enemy of fensive, which now is believed not only to have been effectively checked but in a least a small measure thrown back.
 The American transport, both ot munitions and of the hospital service is working smoothly and efficiently Behind the line the correspondent en- countered ambulances and trucks filled with what are known as sitting cases which already had been attend ed to at the advanced dressing sta tions. These were on their way tc the rear, and frequently in their pas sage they forced to the roadside groups of German prisoners being es- corted to the pens.
 The wounded were comfortable and cheerful. The men in one truck were making an attempt to sing as they passed Farther to the rear, long American railroad hospital trains shining with their newness, moved slowly through the ripening wbea fields and the cool forests to th' bases, the wounded waving cheerful! from the windows.
