YANKEES MAKE GOOD SHOWING ON MARINE LINE
AMERICANS DRIVE
 BOCHES TO COVER

PARIS.-American troops are fighting today on the Marne front, side by side with the French forces, and the reports indicate that the presence of the Yankees on the fir ing line has greatly stimulated the opposition to the German advance. The Americans, thrown into the battle for the first time, occupy a position on the western side of the Champagne salient, where they have effectually stopped the enemy near Neuily wood. Shortly after the ar rival of the Yankees on the line, they executed a dashing counter at- tack, which threw the Germans back In great confusion from the Marne, where they had effected a crossing.

SUBMARINE CAUGHT BY NAVY WATCHERS

NEW YORK.-Announcement is made this afternoon that one of the German submarines operating on the American coast has been bagged by the naval searchers, cooperating with aircraft After lowering for two days near the spot where the tanker William Rockefeller was at tackled, the vigilance of the flotilla of destroyers and seaplanes was re- warded by the appearance of the enemy submarine, which was easily captured with the aid of nets. The diver had remained below the sur face until its air tanks had become exhausted and was forced to rise. It was captured just seven miles from the spot where the tanker went down.
 There is growing impression in naval circles that only one diver was engaged in the coast raiding. In a statment made to one of his victims, the commander of the cap-
 | been operating on the Atlantic coast for two months. Notwithstanding this belief, however, the local police have ordered all display lights out until further notice, evidently fear ing a night attack from the harbor.

enybody to shoot them at, wich wood

There are 2 kinds of soldiers, pri-
Yates and officers. A private has to
saloot a officer weather he likes him
or not, and if he pertends he don't see
him the officer can wawk rite GROUND
and stand in frunt of him If he wunts
to. If officer orders a private to do
sumthing, he has to go and do it no
matter even if he wod rather not. This
proves the best thing to do is to be a
officer.
A general is the highest officer, and
eny other officer that thinks he can
sass a genrel ony thinks so because
he never tried it. But genrels can
sass each other all they wunt to. The
lowest officer is a lootenant, but most
1ootenants wear the highest ixpres-

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
POLI'S

1t is a. thrilling exhibition of PAN
tomime and high-art acrobacy and
tumbling which forms the basis for
the production offered by the Bo-
ganny troupe at Polls theatre today.
Divers of the hauntless and the whirl-
wind performance in vaudeville will
rally to the last appearance in
Bridgeport today of this world re-
nowned company.
On the screen besides the big fea-
ture photoplay, 1.-The Mad Lover" In
which comedy and pathos touch sides,
there is an appeal in the great spy
disclosures being made by former
Chief William j. Flynn of the United
States Secret Service. In his recital
THE Eagles Eye" the Vaccinations
of German plotters are given full
publicity. Audiences are thrilled Ivy
the extent to which these are dis
played in each screen episode.
Jane Connolly & Company with
Frank Lyon, formerly appearing in
Bridgeport stock companies, offer a
neat little comedy sketch, entitled
"Betty's Courtship"
Ray & Pagoni, two girls playing the
violin and the piano, carry audiences
enthusiastically with them and bring
expression to the modern topical
songs.

LYRIC

Interest in the popular farce COM
cry Rolling Stones" which is now
playing at the Lyric theatre,is increas-
ing with each performance. Larger
than ever was the attendance last
night and the Players were again Civ
en- reception second to none they
have ever received. The production
is filled with interesting situations so
cleverly constructed as to include both
the dramatic and humorous without
the one interfering with the other.
Each act is better than the other,
but is Is not until the final fall of the
curtain that the audience really dis
covers how it is going to end.
Unlike other plays there is not only
one but two full fledged love affairs
and the successful elimination of
| these is not the least interesting part
of the story.
Briefly, Rolling Stones" is one of
the best productions that has been at
tempted by the Players in some time
and their work is more than COM
mendable. There is not a hitch in the
| lines and the work is so realistic that
the Players are compelled to respond
to several curtain calls.

INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

The total production for the 1000
hens in thel aging contest at Storrs
amounted to 4,339 eggs for the 21st
week. This figure represents a pro-
duction of 81 per cent, and while not
quite as good as the production in the
corresponding week last year, is still
A eggs greater than the average for
the last four years. First place for
the week was won by Richard Aliens
Rhode Island Reds from Pittsfield,
Mass, with a production of 5S eggs
thus establishing a new, high record
for the present contest. Second place
was closely contested by pen of
Reds belonging to Deerbrook Poultry
Farm, Short Falls, N. H, another pen
of Reds belonging to Pequot Poultry
Farm, Southport, and Joseph M.
Rothschild's Barred Rocks from Ka-
tonah, N. Y. These three pens each
laid 81 eggs for the week. They
were closely followed by a pen of
Reds belonging to Charles H. Lane,
Southboro, Mass, with a yield of Sc
eggs. Another pen of Barred Rocks
belonging to ]. c. Phillips, Wenham,
Mass, tied for fourth place with a
pen of White Leghorns belonging to
A. P. Robinson, Calverton, N. Y, with
a yield Of So eggs.
1t is perhaps significant that there
have been few pens of Leghorns
among the leaders during the past
few weeks. The combined data of the
previous four contests show that the
Rhode Island Reds have outlad the
other breeds during the months of
February and March, while the Leg
horns have been at the bottom of the
list in average production. During
April we may expect the Leghorns to
rise quickly to first position and if
| they follow previous records, they will
hold first place until the end of Aug
ust
The three best pens in each of the
| principal varieties are as follows:

HEED THE WARNING
Many Bridgeport People Have Done
So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not bel gnored. By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel a dark, i'll
smelling urine, full of "brickdust'
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull
pain in the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
news only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Bridgeport people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Conrad Hermann, 81 Webster ave-
nue., Bridgeport, says: II was in bad
shape with my back. My kidneys
were weak and inactive and the kid
ney secretions were highly colored
and contained brickdust-like sedi-
ment. My back was so lame I could
hardly bend over and I often suffer-
ed from rheumatic twinges. I can
never forget how dizzy 1 often be-
came. Sometimes I couldn't climb a
ladder I would get so dizzy. Finally
I began taking Doans Kidney Pills
and they fixed me up in fine shape.
Since then when 1 have needed
Doan's, they have always Strengthened
me up in quick order"
Price coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Hermann had. Foster-Milburn
