MCCARTHY GUEST AT FAREWELL AT
 BULLEN'S CAFE
Former Manager of Plaza Given Send Off by News
 paper Men of City.

The strains of "Auld Lang Syne" made the welkin ring at Bullen's res taurant last night when a party of newspaper men and women gathered about the festive board to give a part ing toast to John Mccarthy, for sev- eral years manager of the Plaza theatre, and lately promoted to lar ger PoH house in Scranton, Pa.
 The banquet was not only a mark of regard for the departing popular head of the Plaza, but was also tribute from the writers on the daily and weekly press of this city for his brother and successor James McCar- thy, who has been promoted to the manAgership of the Plaza from posi- ton of assistant manager at Polls on Main street.
 Frank Hollywood, manager of Bull lens surpassed himself as a caterer The arrangements were perfect and Frank was enthusiastically toasted at intervals during the wonderful dinner he had prepared for what he consid- cred the most critical party in the city.
 Before the party sat down to en- joy the dinner, each one sent a mes sage to James L. McGovern, collector of port of Bridgeport, and former ed itor of The Times who is in St. Vim cents hospital with a broken ankle. Many of the wires expressed a wish that he would not require more than crutch when he got out as wood is needed for kindling this coming win ter.
 Housing speeches were made by the ones gifted with silver tongues but everyone had a glowing tribute to pay John Mccarthy, and the little gather ing last night expressed the sentiment of thousands in Bridgeport.
 Postmaster Charles F. Greene who for years was a reporter acted as toastmaster of the occasion and ex- celled himself in that capacity. Among those who were present were: Will liam Roberts, John Mccarthy, Daniel | E. Johnson, chief of the Bridgeport Fire Dept; Daniel I. McNamara, Louis Reilly, former neWspaperman now in l the United States navy; Robert Far | rell, of the Bridgeport Times; John l Kiernan of the New York World; Will l liam Steinke, of the Standard-Ameri- can; Mrs. Richard Howell, Miss Kelly, l Miss Gooden, Richard Howell, Editor 1 of the Herald; Ralph Lindsay and w. 1 w.

 HINTE SAYS
Despite Rejections of Peace Offers Empire is Ready to
 Begin Negotiations.

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-GermanY maintains her readiness for peace, de-, spite rejections of peace offers from\ the Central Powers, declared admiral von Hintze, the German foreign sec retary, in addressing the Reichstag main committee.
 Speaking of the recent Austrian peace proposal, Admiral von Hintze said the German governments atti- tude toward peace had been mani fested to the whole world in repeat ed appeals.
 "We maintain this appeal for peace, our readiness for peace" he continu- ed, despite the partly jeering, partly sneering, rejections which we have experienced from our enemies. In this we are in full accord with our allies.
 The foreign secretary said that after the previous failures, it had appeared to the German government that it should not take any further steps in this direction, and that a moment when the nations enemies were "suf- fering from war psychosis and the in- toxication of victory was not a suit able time for new appeals for peace.
 ''The appeal however, was made" the secretary added.
