NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Leadership of President Wilson. which lis responsible for the collapse of autocracy power in Germany and Austria" was commended in a statement tonight by six promi- nent "pro-war" socialists. They called on voters, regardless of party, to "up- hold the president by voting for only such congressional candidates as sup port, witheloyalty and enthusiasm. the presidents entire program of war and reconstruction"
 The statement. signed by Allan T.. Benson, Henry l.. SlObodin, J. G. Phelps Stokes, Chester M. Wright Frank Bohn and William English Mailing, said in part:
 It was President Wilson's leadership of the democrats since Americas en- trance into the war which has united and inspired the democracy among our allies as well as at home. This moral leadership, more than any other single factor, is responsible for the collapse of the power of autocracy in Germany and Austria.
 There are two tasks to be performed first, complete defeat of Germany's military forces; second, construction of a practical international organization.
 'We warn fellow citizens of all par ties that if forces of practical and pro GressiVe internationalism are denied fulfillment. here as among all our allied and enemy countries, destructive bol- 1 shevikism will develop"

GRIP T|GHTENS; HUNS SMUST QUIT
 VA[ENC|ENNES

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Nov. Reuters) The British batteries speedily could render Valenciennes untenable but it is not desired the town should be damaged. This fact is largely responsible for the prolongation of the fighting around Nalenciennes.
 Todays attack brought the British well up on the high ground southeast of Nalenciennes and in a position to dominate the enemy's line of commit nication. That the Germans antici- pated an attempt to storm the town is indicated by the fact that they are evacuating the civilian inhabitants.
 The vigorous counter attacks and hard fighting by the Germans today proved that it is the enemy's intention to cling to this important strategic point as long as possible. But the tightening of the grip of the allies pres- ently is bound to squeeze the enemy out of Nalenciennes.

AUTOCRACY ABOUT
 ALL -ASQU|TH
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

GLASGOW, Nov. 1-Herbert Asquith, former premier, in a speech here to- night alluded to the most striking change taking place in Europe-'the collapse complete and irreversible. of autocracy."
 At the outbreak of the war;" said Mir. Asquith. the greater part of Flu rope and a large part of Asia paid all legiance to three emperors. Where are these emperors today? One whom we should remember, was our good and faithful ally. He has been deposed and murdered by his people. The Austrian emperor, to all intents and purposes is waif, stray. The third, at that time the most formidable figure of all, now is said to be lowering on the verge of abdication.
 These arc dhhrones which, whatever may be the tefms of peace, cannot be rebuilt. We may say with confidence that the war has buried beyond hope of resurrection, autocracy and it's sat elite -militarism"

 Much Easier For Us

Today's advance was much easier for the Americans than previous advances, because of the vastly better conditions of terrain. In tho first and second push, the Americans had to fight their way across territory that had been No Mans land for four years and offered unbelievable difficulties both for fight ing and transportation.
 The Americans also were dependent on two lines of communication for all their supplies-one by way of Mont faucon and the other by way of Va renhes-which proved serious han dlcap 10 progress because of the bad roads and necessitated the introduction of a one way system.
 All this was obvated in today's push, which was over terrain that had virtu- ally been untouched by the previous fighting and was well supplied with roads for the artillery, infantry and transport
 Tanks played only a small part in today's advance, although such of them as did cooperate with the infan- try and artillery played a heroic part and proved themselves Of great value.
 Aerial cooperation was difficult, but squadrons of American flers were up by dawn and were able to assist mater ially in directing the artillery fire. The sky was overclouded by noon, but ob- servation still was possible.

j. S. RECOGNIZES
POLAND IN WAR
Lansing Admits Country's
Army is Autonomous and
Cobelligerent.

Washington, Nov. 5-The Polish
army under the supreme political au-
thority of the Polish National Com
mittee was recognized yesterday by
the United States government as au-
tonomous and co-belligerent. Secre-
tary Lansing so announced in a letter
sent to Roman Dmowski, president of
the Polish National Committee, who is
in Washington.
Secretary Lansing said the Ameri-
can government feels a deep sympa-
thy for the Polish people and views
with qualification the progress of the
Polish cause. He also said it had not
been unmindful of the zeal with which
the Polish National Committee, which
has headquarters in Paris, has prose
cuted the task of enlisting its fellow
countrymen in a supreme military ef-
fort to free Poland.
The action of the American govern
ment is similar to that taken recently
by France, Great Britain and Italy. A
Polish army is fighting on the western
front with the Allied armies under
the command of Gen. Josef Halter. a
! large part of this Polish force was re
cruited in the United States under the
direction of Ignace Jan PadereWSkl.

fine DECORATIVE
SCHEME PLANNED
FOR SATURDAY

Hang out the Flag" is the slo-

storefeeper and tenant of an office
building for the big allegorical pa
rade next Saturday. The parade of
all nations will march under an ar

as far as the eye can reach. Never
has Bridgeport been as extensively
decorated as it will be next Saturday.
The decorating committee which is
under the Craftsmanship of George
Valdez will carry into effect here the
decorative scheme used in New York
city during the last Liberty Loan
drive when every pole bore a ban
ner. Every White Way pole from
Congress street to State street on
Main street, from Water street to
Broad street on Fairfield avenue and
from Main street to Broad street on
State street, will be festooned with
American flags, and it is expected
that nearly 800 poles will be garnish-
ed in this manner.
At the corners of the principal
streets in the center of the city all
the flags of the Allies will be fes-
TONED about the trolley poles. In adj
dition to this each pole will carry a
shield on one side of which the
words United War Work Campaign
will appear and on the reverse side
of which will be the legend, Help
Our Boys. The decorating commit
tee has been hard at work for weeks
working out a decorative scheme.
The decorating committee has re-
quested every storekeeper and every
tenent of an office building to decor
ate his windows and store front. It
| is desired that the flags of the Al
lies be also displayed, if possible.
Every trolley cross wire will car
ry bunting and small flags, and there
are half a thousand of these.
At the campaign headquarters
room Al, Stratfield building, IA diff
ferent styles of posters have been re-
ceived. These are going fast but
merchants who wish the same for the
purpose of decorating their windows
| can have them by calling. They
make a fine window display. The
posters tell in pictorial form of the
war work activities of the Y. M. c. A.

LYRIC

In a play Of tense situations and
dramatic dialogue that brought the
tears to the eyes of the audience, the
Poll Players at the Lyric theatre,
scores another success in their pre-
sentation of "The Outcast," last even
ing. Miss Clement as the scarlet
woman" whose life has been one of
hardship, and who in spite of the
buffeting of a cruel world, still re-
tains a natural sweetness and a sense
Of humor, gave her best interpreta-
ton of any role since her appearance
in the city. Miss Clements will long
be remembered in the character por-
gayal of Miriam, the woman who sold
! herself but was ennobled BY her love
/ FOR the man whose bounty she ac-
! cepted without being his lawful wife.
Clay Clement, as the man who nearly
ruined his life because of the perfidy
of his sweetheart who left him for a
richer man, and who is finally re-
claimed by a woman of the streets,
was typical of the man of today, whs
so long as he has need of a woman
will do all the can to make her happy,
but as soon as he tires of her feels at
liberty to cast her out of his life.
Ida Maye is always received with
pleasure, and in her role of the weak
worldly society girl who has not the
strength Of character to marry the
man she loves because he is poor, and
takes a rich husband, added to hel
popularity with local theatregoers.
Jack McGrath and Walter Marshal
are also favorites, and while theil
parts this week DO not call for serious
effort they are always received witt
favor
If you like a problem play, by al
means see THE Outcast."
