GAELIC LEAGUE
 IS 25 YEARS OLD

Dublin, Sept. 1.-The Gaelic league has just celebrated its silver jubilee It was founded in 1893 and for many 1 years accomlished a great work not only in encouraging the use of the Irish language and press, preserving it from extinction in the districts where it was still the common speech of the people but in the advancement generally of Irish industry and educa- tion. Its revenue at the start was less than 200 pounds year. It is now close on 5000 pounds.
 The greatest success of the league was in securing that Irish should be made compulsory subject of study in the National University. No stu dent can pass the matriculation exam ination unless he satisfies the eXamin- CTS in Irish. This has had a marked ; effect on the secondly schools which . prepare pupils for the university, and there are now few schools in Ireland among the Catholic population ln { which Irish is not regularly taught.
 At first the league was strictly non- political but the government has pro- claimed it to be dangerous organiZa ton. The proclamation was declared +o be aimed at the abuse of the organ ization as a cover for Sim Fein ac- +ivities The decree has been treated throughout Ireland, however, as 1T II were an attack nthe Irish language a design which the chief secretary mas warmly repudiated.

NO ADDITIONAL
 HELP FOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON

Bridgeport merchants are very directly affected by the new ruling of the Council of National Defense with regard to Christmas shopping, and for their information, the statement. or the Council of National Defense out lining the policies to which they will be expected to conform their business this year is herewith presented.
 This provides that they must spread their holiday business over the months of October, November and December; that they must hire no additional help for the holiday sea- son other than normal help for the year and that they must cOnffne their business hours to those already es- tablished, which means that there may be no period immediately pre- ceding Christmas during which they may keep open all evenings of the week.
 It is only upon the strict observ- ance of these rules by all retail mer- chandising interests throughout the country that the Council of National Defense has refrained from promul- gating nationwide campaign against the manufacture and sale of Christmas gifts. The Council expects every retail merchant to comply with the rules fully and completely in spirit and letter and will regard any viola tion of these rules as an unpatriotic act on the part of the merchant.
 This matter will be taken up by the Retail Merchants Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which will meet each Friday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce from now until after the holiday season and will be glad to extend to all merchants ot the city information and assistance ir the methods necessary to spread thei1 normal Christmas business over the three months mentioned. Merchants desiring advice on how to accomplish this will receive the best cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce in help. ing them solve the problem.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY

The first dismemberalen of Po- land, marking the beginning of the conspiracy to wipe out that unhappy nation, was arranged 146 years ago today between representatives of Rus sia, Prussia and Austria. About one third of the entire kingdom was seiz- ed at that time, but this morseI only whetted the appetite of the Powers for more. The first dimemberment was the result of a compact between Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia, in which Austria was invited to take part. Another partition of Poland followed in 1793, and two years later a third completed the work and swal- lowed up the entire kingdom, which then ceased to exist as a independ- ent nation. Poland had long been dis tracted by reckless and wastfeul gov ernment, and fell an easy prey to the schemes of the imperial robbers. IT the recent war Poland has been laid waste by the retreating Russians as we'll as by the advancing Germans and her misery is deeper than ever.

SPEEDY RELIEF
 FOR RHEUMATICS
If So Crippled You Can't Use Arms or
 Legs, Rheuma Will Help You.

If you want relief in two days, swift, certain, gratifying relief, take a small dose of Rheuma once a day.
 If you want to dissolve every parti- cle of uric acid poison in your body and drive it out through the natural channels so that you will be free from rheumatism, get a bottle of Rheuma from Hartigan's Drug Stores or any druggist at once. It must give the joyful relief expected or money re- Lnded.
 Rheumatism is a powerful disease strongly entrenched in joints and muscles. In order to conquer it a powerful enemy must be sent against it. Rheuma is the enemy of Rheu- matism-an enemy that conquers it in nearly every instance. Judge John Barhorst, of Ft. Lora- mic, Ohio, knows it. He was walking with crutches, today he Is well.

AccOuntancy Course
 Begins Monday Night

Courses in accountancy at the Y. M. C. A. open on Monday evening, Sept. 23, at 7:30 o'clock. On that evening the first lecture in accountancy will be given to those entering the first class called Semester A. The lecture in law will be given on the following Thursday evening.
 Attorney Saltman gives his first lec- ture on Tuesday evening. Sept. 24th, to the second class or Semester B. Their first lecture in accounting comes on the Friday evening following.
 This is MT. Saltmans second season as law lecturer In this course. His clear and concise presentation of the subject will cause his former stu- dents to look forward to the opening with pleasure and make the course both profitable and interesting for the new class.
 The indications are that the women of Bridgeport will take the advantage of their opportunities and form a good sized class in the shorter course This course does not differ from the regular Pace course in accounting but 1t gives them an opportunity to take 1t more gradually, payments are easier and the law is omitted. As i' 1-ill meet on only one evening a week 1t should not be difficult for thosy who desire the course to find ti=::s [. grasp the opportunity.
 Men will be called into service con tinuusly until the war is won. Wo men must take their places in bus iness. Here is an opportunity fo them to prove their equality in man! respects which they can do if they d' not neglect preparation. There is IT. royal road to learning and the person who are willing tD sacrifice pleasur and social engagements and prepar will reap the reward.

PRESTON FARMER
 DERIDES HOOVER

"This Hoover business is all hum- A,,or, recentlv said Charles Hoffman, a farmer in New Preston, to secret service agent, working for the Food Administration, which today gave out the information that Hoffman hau been relieved of more than parrel of flour and sixteen pounds Of grahu- lated sugar. The flour and the sugar have been turned over to the Amerl- can Red Cross and some of Hoffman remarks to the secret service agent have been turned over to the United States District Attorneys office.
 Several weeks. ago the Federal Food Administrator for Connecticut was advised that Hoffman. who is Ger man, had large amount or wheat flour in his possession and was uslng it liberally without the admiXture or any substitutes. When the secret ser vice man, who had been promptly notified, arrived at Hoffmans farm and explained the purpose of his visit. Hoffman said he had very little flour or sugar, but the secret service man found in the pantry one-half barrel of flour and 50 pounds Of sugar. Hoffman then insisted that that was all he had on the premises, but the secret service sleuth discov- cred another barrel of flour in the wood shed. When asked why he had lied to a Federal inspector, Hoffman apparently made bad matter worse Hoarding is punishable under the Lever Food Control Act by $5,O0O fine or two years Imprisonment, but Hoffman, when cornered In the decep- tion, announced that "it is nobody's business how much flour I have, for paid for 1t and this Hoover busi- ness is all a humbug." He refused information as to when or from whom he bought the flour and sugar and as a result of his generally antagonistiC attitude, MT. Scoville forthwith had s. Ford Seeley, local food director al Washington, Conn.,, secure the ser vices of a sheriff, who removed the excess quantity of wheat and f1oul from Hoffmans house.

CLINTON SCOLLAI1D

One of the busiest of American war poets is Clinton Scollard, who, since the outbreak of the war in 1914, has expressed his detestation of the Kais- CT in dozens of ringing verses MT ScoIlard was born fifty-eight years ago today, Sept. IS, 1860, and was named after his native town Clinton, N. Y. He graduated from Hamilton College, and later studied at liar yard and at Cambridge University, England. From 1888 to- 1896 Mr. Scollard was professor of English lit erature at Hamilton College in his na- tive town. He was only twenty-four when he published his first volume of verse, Pictures in Song" Since then he has written many other vol umes of poetry. While MT. Scollard does not rank among the greatest poets of the period, his songs have made a wide appeal and have won for him a host of admirers in Can ada and Great Britain as well as in his native land. For nearIytwenty years he has devoted his entire time to literature. A passage from one of his most famous war poems, in which he denounces the Kaiser, is well worth repeating. It reads:
 Read on the page of history how he
 fell!
 And think how one today who calls
 on God,
 And sends his sanguinary hordes abroad,
 May answer yet within the courts of He'll"
