Rob Store IIl Heart
 ()f City l
Most Daring Burglary Perpetrated in Some
 Tirne-Loss S6,0OO.
ROBBED
 FOR FIFTH TIME

One of the most daring robberies ever attempted in this city occurred lass night, probably at an early hour, when thieves entered the tailor shop of L. E. Nunnold, 193 Fairfield ave- nue, and made off with a quantity of goods valued at S6,OOO. The theft was discovered at 7:30 o'clock this morning, and the Bridgeport police are now seeking to apprehend the burglars.
 The robbers gained an entrance to the store by climbing up the front door, and pushing in the transom. Once inside they gathered up every suit, overcoat and bolt of cloth avail able, and carried the goods out of the rear door. It is probable that the thieves had an automobile or other conveyance in the alley at the rear of the store, and by this means made a clean getaway.
 According to the story told to the police, the robbery must have occur red sometime during the evening, probably about 8 o'clock. How the burglars could enter a store in one of the main thoroughfares of the city at that hour of the night, and avoid detection is a matter of great mystery. Scratches on the front door, and finger prints on the transom show plainly that the thieves climbed up the door and crawled through the opening above.

AUTO SCHOOLS
 ARE HOTBEDS
 OF RADICALISM
Believed Bolsheviki Propa- ganda Spread in This
 Way.

Bridgeport police refused to con- firm today the report that an auto mobile school in this city is or has been used as cloak for the teach ing of radica1ism and Bolshevism among the foreign element of Bridge port.
 It was learned however, that dur ing the course of the raids conduct ed throughout this state by the De- partment of Justice evidence was un- covered which showed these alleged automobile schools to be hotbeds of radicalism.
 It is reported that one of these schools was located in Bridgeport and a number of members were seized in the recent "Red" raids in this city. These men are now locked up in Hartford.
 One local jitneyman who was ques- toned in regard to the matter, stated that he attended one of these schools in this city, but refuses to state whether Bo1shevism was preached to the members. It is believed, however, that the Department of Justice has succeeded in closing up the schools.
 Other alleged automobile schools are said to have been located in Hart ford and South Manchester.

Allies May Enforce Treaty. Great Britain and France Feel Necessity of
 Action. CANNOT DELAY
 MUCH LONGER

London, Nov. 19 - Great Britain and France are considering whether they are not compelled to proceed with the carrying out of the German peace treaty and the operation of the League of Nations independently of the United States, pending the deci- sion of the American government on it's course.
 It is pointed out that matters are continually arising under the treaty which need immediate attention, such as the operation of the various p1e- biscite commissions, and 1t is consid- cred that because of this fact it is no longer possible to delay making the pact operative.
 The opinion strongly prevails here that Great Britain will not ac- cept any reservations made by the United States Senate which would necessitate the negotiation of a new treaty, as the British government, it Is declared, has every present inten- tion of abiding by the decisions of the Paris conference.
 The belief still exists in this capi- tai that the American government will ultimately take its place with the Allies. Meanwhile there appears to be possibility that Great Britain and the others will proceed without the United States.

B. Brigham, chairman of the Coal Distribution Committee, and W. H. Groverman, U. S. Fuel Administra- tor.
 Pittsburgh, Nov. 19-Tightening up of coal deliveries in the Pittsburgh district began today following the is suance of an appeal by the Pittsburgh Coal Distribution Co. of the U. s. railroad administration, asking con sumers to use the strictest economy in the consumption of the fuel.
 The appeal was made when 1t de- veloped that the district has been drawing heavily upon the supply of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Now, this source has almost ceased to ex- ist, owing to the failure of mines op- erating in those states. Notwith- standing encouraging reports from West Virginia, it is feared the union men in that state may all quit work, too, and non-union mine supplies would be unavailing, according to re- ports received here
