URGES AGAINST
 U, 5, ENTERING
 INTO BOYCOTT James A. Farrell Speaks Strongly on Subject Before Reconstruction Congress. HUNS MUST SELL
 TO CANCEL DEBTS Hatred and Bitterness Would Be Enhanced By Boycotting Any Nation.

Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 5-Possi- bility of perpetuating in the domain of commerce, the hatred and bitter ness engendered by the war, will be greatly lessened if the United States refuses to be drawn into any agree ment or understanding that would make her party to a boycott of the commerce of any of the nations that have been arrayed against each other, was a declaration contained in an ad- dress prepared by James A. Farrell, of New York, and read in his absence to the reconstruction congress here to- day. MT. FarrelI's paper was devoted to a review of the foreign trade situa- ton.
 Tt is certain that if Germany is compelled, as she ought to be, to re- pay the wanton destruction she has wrought in Belgium, northern France, Poland and Servia, she must have access to the raw materials of manufacture by conversion of which into finished products she may earn the money necessary to pay her debts.
 t'As a matter of fact, given the frank acceptance by Germany of the terms of peace which will be dictated by the Allies, there can be no reason for separating her economic wants from those of the rest of Europe. These will be sufficiently imperative to use up all the surplus foodstuffs and raw materials that can be spared for many months to come"
 Referring to foreign trade gener- ally MT. Farrell said:
 There can be no great revival of trade in the countries where we hope for it most, unless we are ready to provid'e capital for their operation"
 Industrial creed for the four parties to industry---capital, management, la bor and the community, was outlined by John D. Rockefeller, J.. It includ- ed advancement, by industry, of so- cial as well as material well being of employees, opportunity by employees to earn a living under conditions of fair wages, reasonable hours and proper industrial environment; reward for initiative; machinery for uncoverins and promptly adjusting grievances; (Continued On Page Two)

INFLUENZA GERM
 COMPANI0NAbLE
 IS NEVER ALONE
Invariably Accompanied by Its Running Mate the
 Pneumonia Germ.

Dr. H. W. Fleck, who has ju"t re- ceived his discharge from the army and has returned to this city from base hospital 16 in West Haven. His experience was a most invaluable one as he gained a great deal of in formation. Included was the fact that the influenza vern is a sociable being, always having as it's com panion the pneumonia germ. As he expressed it, "the influenza germ comes first and in three days time is joined by the pneumonia germ, having prepared the way for it, so to speak.
 "A pure culture is obtained by swabbing the patients nose and throat and in three hours time it is not necessary to use a microscope to see the influenza germs"
 A very wonderful work has been done at this base hospital, although very little is known about it. All the chest cases are handled there and the methods of diagnosis are very advanced. Soldiers having any af- lection of the chest whatever are sent to this hospital direct from France and after arrival there the physicians determine whether it is a case of gas, chronic bronchitis, tu- nerculosis, etc. After a decision is arrived at the men are kept at the hospital, sent to government sana- toriums or to their homes.
 At the time Dr. FIeck was al the hospital there were 720 patients. As they have to remain in the hospita for a number of weeks 1t is necessary 10 give them some mental occupation They are given various kinds of ligh mechanical work according to thetl condition or else work they can per form while confined to their beds
 Most of the men in charge at thi: hospital are professors, some iron Coloumbia college, some from liar yard and some from Chicago. Al of them are men of great ability ant every one of them is an enlisted man, getting $30 month.
 They have taken i'll hand the tasl of teaching the soldiers that whicl will be of service to them when thel are discharged from the hospital

BRITISH DECIDE
 HUNS NEED NOT
 CEDE HELGOLAND
Churchill Says No. Limita- tion Be Placed on Naval
 Supremacy.

London, Wednesday, Dec. 1.-The British naval authorities have decided that it will be unnecessary to demand the return of Helgoland to Great Brit ain from Germany, Winston Spencer Churchill, the ministers of munitions, announced in a speech at Dundee to- night.
 MT. Churchill also said the eDvern- ment had decided upon the national ization of the railways.
 We enter the peace conference |" said MT. Churchill, with the absolute determination that no limitation shall be imposed 'on our right to maintain our naval defense. We do not intend, no matter what arguments and ap- peals are addressed to us, to lend our selves in any way to any restrictions which will prevent the British navy maintaining its well-tried and we'll deserved supremacy"
 The island of Helg'oland, formerly Danish, was ceded to Great Britain in 1874. In 1890 Great Britain ceded it to Germany, who developed 1t into an extremely important naval base. It lies in the North sea off the mouths of the Elbe and Weser and of the en- trance to the Kiel canal which it dominates.
 The island was a German naval stronghold throughout the great war.
 Its occupation by the allies was under consideration shortly after the sign
 ing of the armistice when the German
 naval revolution made it appear doubtful If Germany would comply with the naval terms of the arnnistice These. however, seem since to have been fulfilled nearly i- their entirety

PRESIDENT IS
 KEPT ADVISED OF CONFERENCES

London, Dec. 1.-The substance of the discussions in London early this week between the representatives of Great Britain, France and Italy with regard to the coming peace confer ence, were cabled to the American government and it Is believed the message reached President Wilson before he sailed for Europe yesterday, thus putting him in possession of full information regarding the conference.
 Reuters Limited says there is req son to believe the Presidents advisers are of the opinion that the views of the conference regarding former Emperor William are likely to coin eide with those of the President him self. Responsible opinion, says this news agency, holds that the ex- emperor and other persons guilty of the breaches of international law dur ing the progress of the war should be dealt with by a tribunal oc the asso- [ ciated governments, including repre- srntatives of those countries which suffered most

SUMMERS NOT
 DISTURBED BY
 ENTRY OF THIEF
Csarba and Wife Sleep Peacefully While Their
 Room is Robbed.

A robbery that parallels anything in boIdness that has occurred in Bridgeport in many months was re- ported to the police today by John, 4. Csarba of 567 Stillman street. Cur n rency and jewelry valued at $500 was taken from the Csarba home, and from the very room occupied by the victim and his wife while both were asleep last night. Csarba in explain ing the robbery to Captain Cronan to- day said that he cannot believe it yet as both he and his wife are light sleepers.
 According to the information ob- tained by the police the Csarbas re- tired at an early hour last night, and arose at their usual time this morn ing. Mir Csarba said that he was in the habit of hanging his clothes over a chair close to the bed, and that on retiring he knew that he had a wal let containing S150 in the hip pocket of his trousers.
 When he stepped out of bed this morning, he noticed the wallet lying on the chair. and while he thought he had placed it in his pocket, he did not think of robbery unti! he exam ined it and found it empty He i'm mediately looked in his vest pocket and found that his gold watch and chain was also missing.
 He communicated his discovery to his wife and jumping out of bed, sTe looked on the dresser in their room for her diamond ring, and found this was also missing. Then Csarba also missed his diamond ring.
 An examination of the premises did not disclose anything that would lead the man to believe that the house had been entered either by the fore ing of door or window.
 As Csarba told Captain Cronan that the house was locked for the night when he retired for the night, the detective believes that the place was entered by tn use of a skeleton key.
 The police are now conducting a thorough investigation.
