DENOMINATION
 OF ALL TROOPS
 IN THIS COUNTRY
(Continued from Page D

A unit of regular troops will be left at each camp to guard and police it in preparation for the arrival of the overseas units.
 Because of its unusual composition, General March said, and its brilliant record at the front, the 42nd, (Rain- bow division) will be given special consideration in the demobilization plans.
 The purpose of the department was not outlined specifically, but the 1m- pression was gained that the divis- ion will be paraded in Washington be- fore 1t Is mustered out.
 Steps already have been taken to- ward the organization of the perman- ent army. All men now in the army have been or will be offered an hon. orabIe discharge from the emergency enlistment and an immediate re-en- 1istment in the new forces. A fur tough of one month will be given as an incentive to re-enlistment.
 It was announced that congress will be asked to give each man discharg- ed from the army regardless of whether he re-enlists, 8 bonus of one months salary. General March pointed out also that all soldiers are entitled under law to wear their uni forms for three months after dis charge. This will make less difficult the immediate task of supplying civ i1ian clothing to the demobilized army.
 The return of commissioned per sonnel of the army to civilion life, Gen. March said, would be effected by dividing the present list Of officers
 into three classes, those who desire commissions in the regular army those who are willing to hold them selves available for future service as reserve officers and those who de-
 sire honorable discharge from the 1 service.
 1 Instructions have been issued to the army staff corps to carry out reduc- i tfon in their commissioned and enlist | ed personnel lists, keeping pace with the reduction of the line forces. General Pershing has been directed | to expedite complete casualty lists of his forces, showing the names of every man killed or wounded or missing up 1 to II a. m. Nov. Il. General March l would not hazard an estimate as to what the final total would be. Replying to a question as to the
 number of American prisoners in Ger many, he said official records. up to 1 October 15, gave the total as 5,573.

Bridgeport Largest
 Munitions Center
(Continued from Page Il

ntttee cannot secure contracts for the plants, or provide for the immediate continuation of work, the best bus mess heads of the country will be members, and their experience and ability will be at the disposal of all manufacturers who have problems which are too difficult for their own personal solution. An extension of time will be given to those who could not at once stop government work without causing too much hardship to their employees, but undue delay will not be allowed by the government.
 Every effort must be made to stop manufacture of war products as soon as possible and provision has been made for the supervision and can cellation of all the now unnecessary output of munitions. Plants which were built for the manufacture of munitions, or which were turned into munition manufacturing plants by the necessities of war, will not be debarred from securing contracts from foreign countries, and also may continue the manufacture of rifles and ammunition and other sporting lines which are to be used in times of peace. In fact the govern ment will make the return to peace | conditions as easy as possible for all l concerned.
 Manufacturers and the working men are asked to act in as cool l headed a manner as possible, to use their best judgment and not to be- 1 come panic stricken during the re- adjustment period. The labor prob lems are the principal ones before the country, the notifications say, and l will be handled in an efficient man. ner.
 The Bridgeport District Ordnance 1 office, which has controlled the con- l tracts of all the war products for the 1 state of Connecticut, and the four i western counties Of Massachusetts, 1 and which has been recognized as the
 most efficient organization of it's kind | in the country, will soon be but a matter of history. Already several
 of the minor offices have been abol- 1 ished, and in a period of from two
 to three months, nothing will remain
 of the branch of war industry which was instrumental in the distribution of from $1,OOO,OOO to $2,OOO,OO0 of I 1 establishment. Although the smallest
 in area, 1t was the largest in war | manufacture, and the only other dis l trict which in any way approached
 the amount ofw ork handled was thai | which had it's headquarters in Phila- l delphia. Even this office in the third I largest city in America did not equal
 the amount of work handled was thai the Bridgeport office.
 The personnel of the local office in-
 cluded some of the best known busi-
 ness men of the country, men whose
 names in the manufacturing world are
 recognized as the highest type of bus
 mess efficiency. As the necessity be- . came apparent, their services were
 offered to the government and many
 have given their time and the benefit of their vast experience for the suc-
 cessful prosecution of the war.
 It was stated at the office of the , Bridgeport district today that imme- , diate steps were to be taken to wind , up the affairs now pending,i and f
 was but a matter of two or three , months before the dissolution of tn
 ordnance office would be accomplish

 FOR ATROCITIES

Paris, Friday, Nov. 15.---E1douard Ignace, under secretary of state for military justice, has ordered @ judi cial inquiry at Tll1le against German officers accused of crimes during en- emy occupation of that city. This ac- ton conforms to the decision recently made by the French cabinet.
 These officers will be judged by a court martial in their absence" says the Temps, If the allies are not able h0 @ecure custody of the accused
 This is the first step in such pros cautions

WAR CHAPLAIN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL HOUSES AUDIENCE.

At the High school auditorium last evening the speakers bureau of the War Work Campaign, presented the finest array of speakers ever heard in 8 campaign. The first speaker of the evening was Chaplain J. F. Huli- han, chaplain of the 12th Field Artil- lery, Second Division, A. B. F., just arrived from the front. He was at Verdun, Chateau Thierry and Sois- sons, right in the front line trenches with the boys. He was on his way home on board one of the government transports when news was flashed by wireless of the signing of the armis- tice. He said the boys immediately threw off their life preservers and they had an impromptu celebration which lasted for hours. He told many instances of the bravery of the American boys and urged contribu- tions to the War Fund as tribute to the boys for what they have &C., complished. He will return to Trance in a few days where he ex- poets to stay for some time.
 The next speaker was Charles r. BrickIey, the famous Harvard ath- lete, who defeated Yale so many times with his wonderful educate toe. He also urged contributions to this Fund and told the audience that the boys were entitled to all that they could give and then some.
 Judge Cornelius E. Collins, judge of the Court of Special Sessions, New York city, delivered one of the most eloquent addresses heard in Bridge port in some time. Judge Collins has been corporation counsel and as- sistant district attorney in New York and also one of the most prominent legislators in that state. His appeal for funds was made logically, clear ly and emphatically and his speech
 was interrupted time after time by loud applause.
 The last speaker, ex-heut. Cover i nor Everett J. Lake, made a tre-
 mendous impression. He had just returned from the front where he has served as a Y. M. c. A. secretary for nine months He held the au. ,dience spellbound with his touching i incidents of the boys ober there. He
 urged contributions to the Fund and said they needed 1t more now thar when they were fighting. He said he knew Bridgeport had gone over the 1 top before and would do it again.

New clothes now
 are patriotic and an economy.

All men are divided today into two classes: those who expected to put on the uniform of the Nation and those who joined in the campaign to save wool.
 Men of both classes now can be just as patriotic and yet enjoy the comfort and ser vice of new clothes.
 More than that, through the opportunity here at hand, they can do it at a saving of much dollars
 The Rowland store is at service of all men who have been released from the duty of don ming khaki or of saving wool.
 It is at their service with new worthy suits and overcoats AT SPECIAL PRICE.
 Thousands of men can save and benefit This is store that does not get scared. We were not worried by talk of lessened demand. We had confidence So we placed large ord CTS months and months ago with our makers. And we got both good woolens and good tail bring. Now we have excellent suits and over coats for Bridgeport's eager men-and have them at fine saving for those men.
 Since ''long before the war" no such story of clothes saving has been told to the men of Bridgeport. Here it is in type; skeleton story of big economy:

.SOLF REQUESTS MODIFICATION
 OF ARMISTICEE
Sends Note To Lansing Claiming Hardship for Ger
 mans to Leave Turkey.

London, Friday, Nov. 15-Dr. SoIf, the German foreign secretary, &C., cording to 6 German wireless mes- sage, has sent to Secretary Lansing a note referring to the article in the Anglo-TurlIlsh armistice requiring German civilians to leave the ,Lurk- ish empire Immediately and declar- ing that a literal fulfilment of the article must cause severe hardships, especially to poor people and appears unreasonable after the conclusion of a universal arnistice."
 The German foreign secretary adds that German hospitals and asyfums for the blind and orphans, rre orphan asylums caring principally for Ar mentan children, will be compelled to close, thus causing new suffering among the Christian population"
 The German government, pr. solf adds. requests that President Wilson intervene in favor of these German civilians being permitted to remain in | Turkey.
 The note of the German foreign of- I flee concerning the repatriation of i German civilians in Turkey Is similar 1 to an unsigned communication receiv- ed in Washington Thursday from ! Vienna, In which the Austrian gov
 ornment asked President Wilson to
 use Ifs good offices so as to permit 1 former Austro-Hungarian subjects to 1 remain in the Ottoman empire.
