Wilson Cables To Senator Hitchcock
 On Investigation
POLISH CONFEDERATION Decide to Incorporate All Polish Controlled
 Business.

A most impressive, orderly and business-like gathering, was held
 Sunday at ? p. m., when 5000 Poles
 assem bled at the Polish Falcons hall, South Main street, for the purpose ot discussing buiness and economic conditions of the Poles and the in corporation of all Polish controlled businesses throughout the city of Bridgeport.
 Long before o'clock hundreds had to be turned away from the hall. The meeting was opened with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and a short address by the president of the Polish Falcons outlining the purpose and program of the meeting. In part he said:
 We have been an oppressed nation
 for 150 years and it has been through the intercession of the United States
 that Poland is free. In gratitude of
 our country's salvation it is for us to cooperate with the American govern ment and to try and better the con- dition of the Poles in this country so that we would not be a burden but a huge force helping this country to push on to prosperity. We have been accused of being the instigators of so called 'Pogroms''-but only last week, MT. Gibson, United States envoy to POidnd, 1n1OTmed DOtn senate ana Congress that he found no truth in these statements. We do not know as yet the source of this propaganda, but whether 1t be German-Bolsheviki or some other faction the American pub | lie will soon be convinced that they have helped to liberate a people that are intellectual-industr and pro- gressive."
 Committees comprised of Bridge port business men were appointed | who during this ensire week will de- wise the most practical ways and means through which this incorpora- ton can be formed. It is estimated that over s50o,ooo will be involved. The following resolutions were adopted and passed:
 That a confederation of all Polish
 businesses be formed for the purpose
 of developing Polish enterprises here
 in Bridgeport and the United States.
 That the American public,
 through the American press be truth
 fully informed of the exact conditions
 existing in New Poland.
 That a formal protest be made
 against the so-called Polish pogroms."
 The meeting was then adjourned with
 the Polish National hymn.

LOCAL OPERATORS MAY NOT STRIKE
Union President Says She Has Received No
 Notice.

Little could be learned today as tc the attitude of the government off, c1als who are operating the telegraph and telephone lines to the strike called by President S. J. .Konenkamp of the Commercial Te1egraphers' Union of America.
 Miss Ethel OKeefe, president of the Bridgeport Telephone Operators Union. says that she has received no official notice of the strike although the Telephone operators are affiliated with the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America whose president has called the strike, and she believes the local telephone operators will not be called out
 In Bridgeport there are only a few of the operators who have declared themselves mem bers of the union but it is believed there is quite a mum Der who are members, but who have not made themselves known fearing they might be discharged if 1t were known that they were affiliated with the union.
 It is believed that service in this city will be crippled Wednesday morning. well as in the rest of the country unless the matter is ad- justed in some way before that time.
 The managers of both the Posta, and Western Union companies in this city, claim that they have no official information that a strike has been called and they are unable to tell the number of operators in the local force who will strike but they are confident there will be no interrup- ton of service here.

 to Explain His Charges.

What is drug which contains al- cohol? That is the question which has come up in the much discussed divorce suit brought by Attorney Will liam c. Rungee, former member of the Judiciary committee of the Gen. eral Assembly, against Adeline Husted Rungee. a member of a wealthy Greenwich family.
 In the divorce proceedings recently filed in the Superior court. Attorney Rungee charged that his wife was in temperate and was addicted to the use of drugs containing alcohol This caused Mrs. Rungees counsel to ask for a more specific statement. They want Attorney Rugee to tell the kind. character and name of the drugs which he accuses his wife of using.
 The Run8ees' domestic troubles cre- ated a sensation because the husband is one of the best known lawyers in the state and Mrs. Rungee is a mem ber of a prominent family The couple were married in 1908 and have two children. Attorney Rungee recently brought a s50.Oo0 / suit against his mother-in- Jaw, Mrs. Abbie Husted. for alienation of Mrs. Rungees affections.

He says it Is quite easy to obtain German translations of the treaty in Germany and neutral coun- tries, but these have omissions and are without maps which his original draft copy contains.
 The summary of the treaty as previ- ous1y published in. this country he states, Substa ntially carries the inn portant points of the full treaty and only in a few places are there on1is- sions These, he says, occur in the section relating to the Sarre Valley and in reference to the international labor organization.

DELIR|UM WILL
 END WITH PEACE
Hoover Says We Will Not Finance Any More Wars
 In Europe.

Paris. June 9-CBy tho A. P.)-
 This sort of economic delirium tre- mems will end with peace," said Her bert c. Hoover today. T do not take 1t we will finance any more wars in Europe, directly or indirectly, nor that we will provide money to enable the people of Europe to liNe without work, or to work part tine. as at present all over Europe. These econ- omic delirium tremens will end with peace.
 ''Rumanian greater Serbia, Bulga- ria Arabia, Turkey. Armenia, Portu- gal, Greece and Hungary win virtually be self supporting. In fact some of them should be able to export food
 Poland and the Baltic states will produce almost enough bread, grains and vegetables for their own people. but will be short of fats. If they se- cure recourses for currency reorgan- fzation and some working capital for raw material imports as to get ex- ports going. they should. with econ omy. be self-supporting within a very few months.
 ''Szecho--Slovakia, Belgium and Finland must have working capital to reorganize their currencies,' provide raw material and meet the food prob lem for a while.
 The economic problems of most of these states are simple when com pared to the larger European nations and the world will be astonished with their recovery if they have peace"
 MT. Hoover says that the United States should assist only if economy in Imports is maintained, the people return to work. orderly government is preserved. fighting is stopped, dis armament is undertaken and there Is no discrimination against the United States.
 If these things are not done" he concludes, Europe will starve in spite of all we can do. The surplus of our productivity could not support a Europe of -today's idleness if every man of us worked fifteen hours daily"

BELGIAN PRELATE WILL ARRIVE
 IN SEPTEMBER

Albert Cardinal Mercier, Archbish- op of Malines and Primate of Bel gium, the heroic preIate who defied Gernfany to arrest him and saved his country much suffering through his dauntfess disregard of the threats of the Prussian invader, will arrive in New York in September in response to various invitations to thank Amert- ca in person for the assistance given Belgium during the war.
 Upon his arrival in New York Car dinal Mercier will go to Baltimore where he will be the guest of Cardinal Gibbons.
 Upon being interviewed in Brussels concerning his proposed visit to the United States, Cardinal Mercier sent the following message to America:
 This will be my first trip across the Atlantic, but to me 1t seems that I am going to visit old friends. From the beginning of the war I realized that Americans were friends of Belgium American public opinion in those early days saved Belgium even great CT suffering than that which she had to endure. When MT. Hoover estab- lished the Commission for Relief the people of occupied Belgium had real evidence of America's friendship. If
 
 stuffs the United States army would upon arrival have found in Belgium only bones of starved women, chil- dren, and old men, a monument to the cruelty of an enemy of God and man. Belgians have much to thank the American people for and view it IS an honor that I am to have the op- portunity to thank America in per son for all. for her military aid, for the food and clothing she sent us, for the men she had in our country as her representatives, men who were never overawed by crimes and threats of the invader"
 During all of Belgium's martyrdom at the hands of Germany the lmpres- sive figure of Cardinal Mercier stood out as that of the spirit of Belgium. herself, the spirit which might be struck to the earth physically, but which spiritually remained forever unawed and undaunted by even the most cruel and unhuman of the rep resentatives of Germany. The very presence of the cardinal who is of tall, guant figure and aesthetic bearing seemed to disarm the German soldiers and they dared not touch him, 1t is said.
 Cardinal Mercier's name first sprang into world, wide fame when he sent the famous pastoral letter to his c1er-' gy, which so enraged the Germans that they sent a detail to tell him that he was under arrest. Facing the Germans quite calmly. Cardinal Mer- cier Is reported to have said:
 T am too busy to go with you now. When I finish praying, will come to you to be arrested properly"
 The Germans never carried out f as the Cardinal was concerned. He was tfreless in his relief work for his country and among his many in terests maintained milk fund for babies. a fund for priests and other charities for which he raised money through charitable organizations in America and elsewhere.
