 plete Fund.


 Anthony S. Ambrose, marshal of the Czecho-Slovak campaign just closed, requests that all those who gave pledges instead of cash contributions redeem their pledges at once so that the committee may close up its work and forward the city's contribution to Washington.

The would like very much to get the bal ance at once and wish that we may hear immediately from those who did not pay cash but gave pledges to the solicitors.
 From now on the committee, and in fact all the Czecho- o-Slovaks and the public will be busy taking care of the Fourth Liberty Loan and we want to close up the Czecho-Slovak account at the earliest osssible moment so that we can give our undivided attention to the Liberty Loan campaign.
 Cash and checks should be given to the Rev. G. J. Panik, 7s Church street. Checks should be made out to the Czecho-Slovak War Fund.
 "The committee takes this oppor- tunity of again thanking the people of Bridgeport for their Go-operation in Xle Czecho- -Slovak camDaign."

CASSELLS MOVES |. BIG AUDIENCE TO TEARS BY TALES Black Watch Scout Unable to Finish His Story of War
 at Armory Last Night.
 WOMEN OF CITY
 URGED TO WORK Immense Gathering Thrilled by Addresses of Cassells
 and Madame Azgepetian.

Last night monster patriotic mass meeting took place in the Armor:- where speakers addressed the wom- en of Bridgeport explaining to them just why they must enter munition factories and help bring this war to a successful end The Liberty Chor- us opened the meeting with the sing ing of America" in which the au- dience joined. Mayor Wilson pre- sided and introduced each speaker.
 Mrs. Anne Azgepetian, wife of Gen. Azgepetian of the Russian army, who was one of the most prominent Red Cross workers in that country before the Bolshevikis gained control, re- lated one of the most thrilling ex- periences that can be imagined. It is peculiar that only such a short time ago stories like these were said to ex- ist in fiction; no one ever realized that even in fiction such scenes as this marvellous woman pictured could even be imagined by a writer. But, nev- ertheless, it is true. Mme Azgepe- tian had not only witnessed human suffering, but she was one of the ac- tors in those scenes of suffering and agony, and last night she sent a message with a pathetic appeal to thu women of this country-and the wo- men of Bridgeport in particular-to do their utmost, their best, their all to help.
 Every little bit helps," she said ''The extra bandage you make for ,Io bring back the life of a soldier" She emphasized how the Red Cross have l helped to bring back much that would have been lost
 Her pictures of hospital life; the scenes of dying soldiers;. the heart I touching experiences with the womel and children who have been Jeff without food, clothing and shelter all brought tears to every ones eyes | This wonderful woman had witness | ed all. She is so much the strong. CT for 1t, and as she stood on the | platform, dressed in the Red Cros. uniform of the Russian field nurse all saw in her one of the great salv. agers of the world.
 She said that there are three thing: to be remembered. First, that tht l BoIshevillis are not the Russians | They are German agents and fanat ics
 Second, that Russia has paid for tn, cause with S,00O,OO0 of her bes men.
 And third, that Russia will comt | back.
 She will come back and repa! America as America Is repayinl | France.

RETURN OF COLONIES OPPOSED.

London, Sept. 2S.---The return of her colonies to Germany after the war would put that Power in a po- sition to endanger trade and peace, and there Hua@ld be a black shadow toverhanging not only the British Elm pire but the whose world, declared Walter Hume Long, British Colonial Secretary, at dinner to Canadian newspaper men.
 we did not enter the war for ag- grandizement," he added, but I am here tonight to say that if the colonies are returned to Germany all the sac rifices of our heroes will have been in vain"
 The Germans, MT. Long continued, would regard their former Pacific Is- lands as bases for airplanes, subma- 7ines and wireless stations.

survivors of those tragic first months when civilization seemed about to be crushed by the onslaught of the Hun.
 Words fail to describe his appear. All those who were fortunate enough to see Scout Joe Cassells and hear his voice last night will have in their memory only a fraction of the pie tured German atrocities which occur red in Flanders and northwestern France. The audience wept as they listened to his story, and wondered how any human being upon this earth could witness and, suffer and still relate it. And Scout Joe Cas- | sells. it seemed, could not go on with his tail of the bloodiest sacrifice in 1 history. He broke down and wept. although he had gripped the table i for support to steady himself for his conclusion. He did not conclude. | The picture he was painting came back to him again, and he was com pelled to let the audience imagine | the rest.
 Don't knock; don't boast-every | little you. do-every little-helps," he i said. "So when you get your call from the government, every Ameri- can-every .one-work for the Allies they will save us all."
 That war is not going to kill your sons," he continued, in one part of his address, 'it will make them req lfze what life means-life-the mean 1 ing of it could only be learned | through this war;
 He is thankful to the Red Cross | for his own life. He is thankful to all the women who work for this cause "The women," he said twill help hasten the end"
 Scout Joe Cassells has written a l book "The Black Watch-A Rec 1 ord in Action" in which he describes in full all that there is to know. H. E. Miles, head of the training | section of the Department of Labor 1 in Washington, was also one of the 1 speakers. MT. Miles has spoken in | this city a number of times He is a man well acquainted with the inside | of factory life as he was a manu- | facturer all his life, and has made a complete study of all kinds of em- l pIoyes In his statistics he told how women always lead the men in all | kinds of work.
 
 | to man in every respect" he said. His examples of what women have done
 in England and France and what
 they can do in this country astonished his listeners.
 Bridgeport women are setting an example to the United States in kinds
 of work" he stated.
 It seems that the women of this
 city should feel proud that they have
 so good opportunity to help make his
 tory.
 Dr. Joseph Sullivan concluded the
 meeting with one of his most enter
 taining talks, congratulating the Min
 ute Women and women of the city in
 their earnestness. Dr. Sullivan has
 an only son fighting over there for the
 cause, and he said. "I am backing up
 my boy and all the other boys that
 are now over there.'
 The meeting concluded with the
 singing of "The Star Spangled Ban
 ner," lead by the Liberty chorus.

REPUBLICAN AND A KIN SPECULATION IN COTTON
FOR VARCAMAN.
Continued from page four)

Continued from page FOUR
was a great beneficiary by the defeat of the Ship-purchase bill.
Senator Vardaman was one of those Democrats who cooperated
with the Republicans to defeat that bill which cost the cotton
farmers millions of dollars. The cotton firms bought cotton
cheap and sold it high in 1914. If Mr.. Newburger made sew
eral hundred thousand dollars by Vardamans act in defending
this particular bill, naturally he would warm most generously
towards the Senator and can not be censured for raising his
voice in the Senator's behalf, even if the Senator did say that it
was the rich" and predatory wealth" that brought about the
war. BY the way, Mr.. Newburger is perhaps not one of the
"big rich" which our Junior Senator said brought on the war?
No doubt the war has greatly crippled the cotton business.
The markets of the world are not open to spectators as in days
gone by and the war has perhaps greatly cut down the earnings
of cotton firms. The Woodrow Wilson administration placed a
futures" trading act on the statute books of the land, and
strange to say nearly every large cotton firm, as we'll as other
big spectators, is opposed to interfering with future dealing
business" Why are they opposed?
Our esteemed Memphis friends assumption that he knows
we want to do Senator Vardaman JUSTICE does not square
with some other parts Of his letter. Nevertheless he is correct
in the assumption. We have nothing in the wide world per-
against the Senator. Personally we wish him we'll. And
had he shown the right party spirit, had he not said and done
so many things that gave aid and comfort to Germany before
the war started; had his acts, as one of the "wilful twelve"
and in sundry other ways, not led Germany to believe that our
country would not fight, thereby encouraging the Kaiser to dare
provoking war, he would have had no opposition this year i'm
Mississippi. He could have won over those formerly opposed to-
him. The people of Mississippi are really not in a mood for q
political battle neither are they in a mood to tolerate those wha
would charge MissBsippians with wanting "to stab Germany
in the back while England and France have her down." Mis-
sssppians place the winning of the war first above everything
else. Mississippians believe the war unavoidable and just, but
like the old Confederate soldier, they are with their country
right or wrong"
