21O DEALERS FILE APPLICATIONS TO
 DISPENSE LIQUOR
Last Day Brings Surpris- ing Rush of Applica-
 tions.

Today was the last opportunity for local liquor dealers to file application with the county commissioners for re- newa1 of licenses and at noon 21O had been recorded. The commission CTS stated that a few dealers would probably appear before the close of business this afternoon and thus in crease the total number of appIica- tions.
 The sudden rush of applicants was surprise in view of the fact that the dealers were so reluctant at first to apply. The first day for applica- tfons was November 1 and in past years many were recorded on that day.
 This year the day passed without one dealer asking for renewal and it was not until the last few days that the applications began to come in to any great extent.
 An agent for a local brewing com pany brought in 39 applications this He said the great majority of local dealers would apply for re- There were BIO licenses issued in this city last year so the next year will probably fall short of the previous years showing.

D'ANNUNzIO IS
 MASTER OF WHOLE DALMATIAN COAST
Announced He Intends to Occupy All of
 Istria

Hume, Sunday, Nov. 16-(By The Associated Press)-Gabriele D'An- nunzio's latest exploit appears to have made him master of the entire Dal- matian coast. It secured the ad- herence to his side, 1t has developed, of Admiral Milo, commander of the Italian occupation forces in Dalma- tia, thus giving D'Annunzio contin- uous command from the Austro-Ita1- ian armistice line, north of Plume, southward to Ragusa, just to the north of Cettinje, covering all the ap- breaches to the Dalmatian coast.
 Four warships, including a dread nought, and four todpedo boat de- stroyers, also have been added to the D'Annunzio naval command, giving him a formidable weapon with which to maintain his present position.
 It is announced that DAnnunzio will occupy all of Istria which is be- ing considered by the peace confer ence, including the sections which Foreign Minister Titoni proposes spe- ical compromise into an independent state.
 Admiral Milo, Italian commander of the Dalmatian occupation forces, has gone over to the ecause. of Ga- ,brieIe DAnnunzio, swearing complete loyalty to the poet and declaring that not one Italian soldier will leave soil included in the pact of London.

CLAIM MADE TONS OF SUGAR
 SHIPPED HERE
New York Boat Alleged to Have Brought In Huge
 Shipments

Where is the sugar going to that Is being brought into Bridgeport? That Is a question that is causing considerable speculation among the people about the docks and freight yards who see large quantities arrive both by boat and railroad.
 One man who is familiar with the freight situation says that the New York boat has brought up between five and ten tons at every trip for the past week. He understands that most of it Is carted around to Whiting street, and put aboard cars which are held on sidings, where the owners are keeping it, waiting for the price to advance.
 His inquiries have led him to be- ieve that the people who have been hoarding the sugar in and about New York are now shipping to outlying points, like Bridgeport, in order to escape the government agents who are rounding up the sugar hoarders throughout the country.

BROTHERHOODS WILL CONSIDER
 HINES OFFER Expect to Give Answer Or Overtime Proposal
 In Week

Cleveland, Nov. 17-Heads of the four railroad brotherhoods met here today to consider Director General Hines offer of overtime payment on slow freight service. They hope to be able to give an answer within a week.
 Those attending the conference in c1uded W. G. Lee of the Trainmen; Timothy Shea, of the Bremen and Enginemen; Warren s. Stone, of the Engineers, and L. F. Shepard of the Conductors.
 Director General Hines has offered overtime payment in an unusual way, and the offer requires consideration for that reason. MT. Lee said. Rail- roaders receive a days pay for each 100 miles they make within eight hours Most of them complete their runs in that time, while those com pleting their runs in less time receive full eight hours pay.
 Where more than eight hours Is consumed, railroaders have only been paid at the regular rate for eight hours, and MT. Hines view Is that this should be adjusted in fairness to slow freight men, MT. Lee declared.

 Strike
Consumers Band To. gether to Thus Lower
 Its Price.
CHILDREN NOT
 AMONG STRIKERS

New York. Nov. 17-Milk drivers, whose recent threat of a strike won them an increase of pay and sent milk prices up, found "consumers' strike in progress in many parts Of New York this morning when they made their early morning deliveries.
 Hanging on doors of many homes and apartments were signs reading milk strike-no milk wanted here until Thursday"
 The strike was called by the com munity councils of National Defense and "strikers,'' who observe the re- commentators of the council will ab- stain from the use of milk on Mon days Tuesday and Wednesday of every week until the price of that commodity is lowered.
 The strike call, however, does not affect persons under four years of age who are privileged to drink milk without mourning the enmity of the union" a
 Producers and distributors of milk have protested against the 'tstrike,' '' asserting that if 1t Is made effective the result will be that many produc- CTS will be obliged to go out of busi- ness, thus decreasing the milk sup ply. Health Commissioner Copeland also has protested against abstention from the use of milk, predicting such course would impair the health of the community.
