w. c. T. U. NOTES.

Hand in hand with it's rejoicing
over the ratification of the federal
amendment for National prohibition,
and in anticipation of the reaching
of its fifty years of organization in
1924, the National Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union began a five
year Jubilee program on the goth of
March by putting on drive for a
million dollars and a million men,
bers.
The w. C. 7. U. has proven it's
| worth. and justified the daring
faith and accuracy of vision of it's
founders. At the great Jubilee
meetings being held over ratification
of prohibition in almost every city
and town in the U. S., the one body
receiving the most glowing tributes
has been the W. C. T IT,, referred to
by prohibition workers as Our
Mother" in the Temperance work.
The work of the w. c. T. U. has
been so little understood by many
that it seems not out of place to tell
of some Of the things that have
been accomplished in the last two
years. 1t has co-operated with the
government in promoting Liberty
Loans, pushing Red Cross and other
financial drives, distributing food
and fuel conservation literature ETC.
1t spent $10.0OO.OO for stereomotor-
graphs for the canionments.
s36,0O0.OO for field kitchens and
ambulances. $125,OO0 for comfort
kits besides victrolas, quantities of
reading matter, chocolate, and other
comforts for the boys. Over a
thousand French and Belgian or
phans were adopted last year, in
fact three and a half million dol
lars were expended in 1918 by
local unions in war work.
Hospital Mothers have been
placed by the w. C. T. U. in the
reconstruction hospitals at Fort Des
Moines, Iowa and Fort Sheridan. Ill. |
at the Letterman Hospital if not al
ready there.
"After-the-war" work is receiving
much attention these days, from
all sources and the million dollar
Jubilee fund for which the w. C.
I. U. has opened it's drive will be
used for continued temperance work
in America. for American1zation.
Child Welfare. Women in Industry.
Health and Morality and to send
across the seas in the
interest Of world prohibition.
II you think the w. C. T. L. is
doing worth while work which
merits your support. will you not
help in this jubilee drive? We COW
It your membership. and would ap-t|
preciate your financial. assistance as
we'll.

CLAIM BALLARD HAS THE 6, Q. p.
 IN BAD HOLE

Work on the fusion movement whereby independent sRepubIcans hope to combine with the Democrats in busting the city administration continued today and reports of those interested were that the progress was satisfactory.
 It was rumored that Town Chair man J. Alex II Robinson. of the Re- publican party, hao been recalled to Bridgeport from a health resort, where he went early last week for a vacation and to regain his health. This could ont be confirmed. but it was stated about city hall that Robin son was expected back soon and this was taken to indicate that he will return to the job to combat the Bal lard forces which just now look as if they would put the party in a bad hole.
 In an effort to counteract influence of the independents ana fusionists among the returned soldiers, the Re publican campaign of soliciting all of the service men to become voters. was hurried some and a batch of let ters went out today advising the men of the dates. places and other condi- tions under which they might qualify as electors

GERMANS OPEN FIRE ON 2 TANKS
 MURDERING ONE

Cob1enz. Sept s.-Private Reass Madsen of Sacramento, Cal, was shot and instantly killed Saturday by Ger man soldiers in the neutral zone about a mile from the boundary of the Cob 1enz bridgehead.
 Madsen and Private Bert Balsinger of the Sth Infantry, who had been on outpost duty, were deer hunting when they encountered a patrol of 13 German soldiers According to Bal singer, the Germans began firing, with out asking an explanation as to why the two Americans were in the neu- tral zone. Balsiuger told the Ameri- can authorities that when he and Madsen encountered the Germans he was several yards ahead of Madsen.
 Balsinger said he dropped his rifle as soon as he saw the Germans, who a second afterwards began to shoot at Madsen. The Germans contend that AIadsen fired at them. Balsinger as- serts that the Germans fired first and that if Madsen had fired he did not see him shoot or hear the shot.
 Balsinger was taken prisoner by the Germans and later turned over to the American Provost Marshal Major George Coclrell, and brought A. Cob lenz. Madsen will be buried in the American cemetery at Coblenz.

CContinued from Page One.) trend of the meeting and intention ally remained away in order to pre- vent an open fight.
 The statement of President James F. Walsh, of Greenwich, speaker of the last House of Representatives and a Roraback man, was taken as significant of the general party atti- tude and particularly pointed was regarded his remark that mo man is greater than the party" This refer ence was taken as a direct shot at King and his emissaries in this city.
 The attendance at the meeting of County Commissioner Frank Ballard, already openly leading a movement in the city to overthrow the King administration and his active partici- patton in the council of the party, was a further bit of circumstantial evidence as to the position of the King forces and their opponents. Bal lard is at present head of the inde- pendent Republican movement here that Is hoping either of itself or through fusion with the Democrats, to defeat Clifford B. Wilson and his administration.
 The effect of the bylaws change will leave Bridgeport only six mem- bers in the Fairfield County Republi- can Association. Against these will be the representatives and senators of all of the remainder of the county together with the town chairmen in all of the towns outside of Bridge

 We cannot rewrite this treaty" said he. We must take it or leave it."
 He said he believed the treaty should be accepted soon, but added: But no man can tell how long it will take the United States Senate to do anything"
 The President said he had heard some men wanted the United States to go alone for an armed pan Americanism" but he did not believe the people would accept it. He paid a tribute to Senator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader in the treaty fight, whose home is in Omaha He had been proud to stand by Senator Hitchcock" he said, "in the fight"
