BILL FOR NEW
 POST OFFICE

Collector of Customs James L. Nc Govern has just returned from Washington after exerting strenuous efforts in the cause of a new post office for Bridgeport. MT. McGov- ern states that he went into con ference with Congressman Merritt of Stamford and officials of the Treasury Department and after con siderable discussion the bill was drawn and presented. Money to cover the Bridgeport post office will be included in a bill in which the largest appropriation is asked for public buildings since the beginning of the war. Appropriations for pub lie buildings have been discouraged by Secretary McAdoo during the war as a part of the conservation pro gram.
 There is no certainty of the bill re- cefvInE favorable action but in the event of it's failing the proposition will be taken up with the next Con gress. The bill reads as follows: "A BILL to provide for the purchase
 of a site and the erection of

Premier Clemenceau rested well during the night after his exertions yesterday, which caused considera- ble anxiety to his physicians and family. During the day he saw 40 persons.
 All the physicians agreed that the action of the premier's lungs should be reduced as much as possible as movement causes the edges of the wound to rub against each other The only way of effecting this was an in jection of morphine, which no one cared to propose to the premier, fore seeing how he would receive the sug- gestion. At last pr. Laubry volun- teered says the Petit Journal. He ap- peaIed to the premier as a ''brother doctor" but NJ. CIemenceau sprang up, seized the physician by the shoul- ders and shouted: What, what, morphine, morphine, you want to finish me? Are you in the pay of the BoIshevik1?"

 The attempted assassination of Herr Auer, the Bavarian minister of the interior, is interpreted as an act of revenge for the killing of Premier Eisner, according to advices from various German sources. The men were bitter opponents. Herr Auer is q Majority Socialist minister and had been looked upon as a man likely to displace Herr Eisner as pre- mler.
 The latter was the idol Of the uI- tra radicals, was a staunch defender of the Soldiers and Workmen's Coun- cIl, and was uncompromisingl for the national assembly.
 The political situation in Munich has been drifting rapidly to the point of an explosion and the ultra radicals, who comprise the Indepen- dent Socialists and the Spartacans, are suspected of uniting in a final desperate attempt to save their po- Iitical control.
 The immediate adjournment of the Bavarian Diet after the shooting was due to the fear that the holding of further sessions would aggrevate the situation.

was also taught by the wine that pro-
claimed the sacrifice Jesus made in His
death SO that men might be reconclled
to God through the redemption of His
| blood. The shedding of His blood
opened the door of mercy to the whole
world, and is universal announcement
of the grace of God to all mankind.
AS the bread gave life to the bodies
of men, so Christ's gift of Himself would
give life to men. 1t emphasized their
spiritual affinity with the Lord. The
partaking of it meant an act of pre-
eminent friendship. and if the parties
had been at outs with one another a
complete reconciliation. Enemies never
eat together in the east. The partaking
of the Lords supper meant the con-
tnuity of their intercourse with the
Lord and an unbroken fellowship with a
living. loving Savior. 1t would speak
of not only the source of salvation, but
of the Christians strength. Just as
bread is needed in everyday life. so in
the Christian life there is the need of
Lord Jesus to help the Christian to over
come the temptations of life and to do
well the Masters work. The man who
recognizes the Lords presence will have
courage to carry out the Lords COM
mandS.
The rite is more than an act of COM
memoration Of the sacrifice Of the Lord
as the source of the Christian life and
strength; it is summons to His serv-
ice. 1t calls for a pledge of loyalty to
Him, as it inspires men to look forward
to His return, to look up for His coming
and to look out into the great fields
open for service for His followers in
the needy world. 1t reminds His follow
ers that the purpose of His death was
to save the world and calls them to
follow His example of self-denial, sacri-
flee and surrender. so that the timeless
benefits conveyed to men by His death
may be made known to every creature,
which is the hope of the world today
