 The 1,O0O-Ton Barge to the Rescue.
 They could not. For, again, ex- tending miles below Lake Omega there are marshes. Furthermore, once we and the Allies reach the lake, we shall no longer need rail trans portation. From the eastern - the protected-side of Omega opens the first of Russia's great interior canals
 Their huge steel barges have always been her main freight carriers. They are among those things which revolu- tions do not destroy. They are all most as numerous as Americas coal and ore gondolas. And where the latter carry their 50 tons, Russia's S barges carry a thousand. All are self powered, too. They may be easily armed. The canals on which they move reach all Russia, from the Gulf of Finland to the Black Sea and the Caspian. We may yet read that Company - of the United States Marines got upon the enemy's flank with terrific effect by arriving sud- denly at high speed in it's armored barge, from the direction of Odessa. In the meantime the marines are somewhere in northern Russia, and should be heard of first from there.

CONDEMN SUNDAY WORK FOR WEEK
 DAY JOY RIDES
Captain c. A. Wheeler De, nounces Plan As Patriotic
 Defeats Gas Saving.

Tt is not gasoline that flows through the carburetor of the auto mobile driven by the Sunday joy rid CT, but the life blood of the women and children of France and Belgium" said Captain c. A. Wheeler of the Traffic Squad of the Bridgeport po- lice department, when asked his opinion of the gasless Sunday ruling.
 Continuing the Captain said: Tt is all very well for people to say they work six days week and have only them walk. It will make them healthier. Look at the women and babies of France who have to tramp through mud and shell fire without homes or even shoes on their feet. Not only that, but they carry upon their weak backs bundles containing their earthly possessions.
 If a man wants to work Sunday and take another day off during the week, I think that man is a stacker and if his family urges him to do this they are twice as bad. The Summer is almost over. The government has been very lenient in holding off the request to suspend Sunday joy riding until this late day. Just look at France and England. they not only have suspended joy riding Sunday, but every day in the week.
 T absolutely condemn as unpatrio- tic the motion made by workers in Hartford to get a day off during the working week and to work Sunday. IFIJl. of the government and make no sav- ing in the gasoline supply. The gas less Sunday has already made a not able saving and Bridgeporters ought to be the very last people to complain of being compelled to do a little healthy walking, when by so doing they are supplying our men on the other side with a vital necessity"

NEwF1ELD METHODIST CHURCH

The closing day of the series of ten- day meetings at Newfield Methodist church, Stratford and Central ave- nues, promises to be the best of all Harry Haines, a convert of the Eighth Avenue Mission in New York con- ducted by Miss Sara Wray, will tell his remarkable story. A man who gave himself up to the authorities af- ter his conversion and served a pris- on sentence is sure to have something worth while to hear. W. w. Colby, M. D., of East Orange, N. J., has spoken at most of the meetings. He will be the last speaker, at 7:30, when his subject will be, "Is Jesus Coming Back Again to Earth?"
 At 3:3O a great East End patriotic service will be held when Major New man H. Raymond, U. s. A. will speak. Major Raymond was one of the speakers last Sunday. He is in gov ernment servcie, in the patriotic sec tion of the construction division of the United States Army. He has toured the. country, visiting large in- dustrial centers, arousing patriotic zeal and interest for the cause of lib- erty and democracy. He impresses upon his hearers the great importance of the reconstruction work of the government which must necessarily
 follow the conclusion of the great
 war. In the great plan that Major Raymond unfolds of the government there is a place for every man, wom- an and child to do some important patriotic service. Major Raymond is one of the n"st o'onuent and forceful 1 packers in the United States service today and he brings to the people of Bridgeport facts and figures relative
 to this constructive program. Ire
 mendous crowds have greeted him
 everywhere. Special music will be a | feature of the meeting.
 These Billy" Sunday meetings
 have brought many people together
 at the services where they have heard unusually strong speakers and have
 undoubtedly done a great amount of good in both religious and patriotic ,ndeaVor.

BOLSHEVIK INCONSISTENCY.

IL one would have convincing proof
of the utter inconsistency Of the Rus
sian Bolsheviki. he has but to consider
the case of Roumsnia. This little
country, lylng alongside the Russian
border, was one of the earliest suffer
ers in the present war. Her sufferings
at the hands Of the Turco- Teutonic
hordes are almost unbelievable even IN
this day of unbelievable atrocities.
Early in the war, under the govern.
ment of the Gar. Russia undertook to
provide for all Roumanian refugees
who succeeded in crossing the border
and entering her domains. and regu-
lar allowance for their support was
made by the Cars government. and
faithfully paid so long as that govern
ment endured.
After the fall of the imperial govern
ment. the Kerepsky government also
assumed the obligation 20 care for
these pitiable people, but this care was
only spasmodic and irregular. Since
the fall of the kerensky regime and
the ascendeney of the Bolshevlki. all
care for them has ceased SO far MS Of
fetal Russia is concerned.
Loudly as they pirate of their human
itarianism and the inherent rights of
the proletsriat. it would seem that the
followers Of Lenine and Trotsky could
not fail to recognize the urgent claims
of these helpless people within their
borders. Their utter neglect would
seem TO indicate that the policy of the
Bolsheviki is not only reputation of
national obligations, but Of all personal
and human obligations as well.
