ENTENTE MAY LOSE BUnWARB

Vienna, Sunday, March 23-Asked what effect Hungarian events would have on the political situation in German Austria, Herr Deutscha sec Tetary for military affairs, said to- day:
 If the Entente treats us as it treats Hungary, no one can guarantee what will happen. A people driven to de- spair loses seif-control. The Afnten- te, by thoughtless decision, migfsf lose a bulwark against BOlshevism which German Austria really constitutes, if no harm is done it economically and politically

WORK LACS ON STAMFORD SEWER
Generalization of Service Flag At Methodist
 Church.
Special to The Times-)

Stratford, Mar. 25.-Demobilizing of the Service flag of the Methodist church will take place Sunday morn ing and every returned soldier and sailor in town is invited to be present at the service. Members of Com pany L, State Guard will be present at tnis service and a decided military appearance will be the result
 The Rev. Ernest C. Carpenter will preach a sermon appropriate to the occasion and will have a few words to say during the ceremony of de- mobilizing the service flag.
 Work has been begun on the three story brick building to be erected by John Rupee at Barnum avenue and Barnum Terrace. Men and teams were engaged yesterday in the exca- vating of the cellar for the building and as soon as the cellar walls are built the bricks for the building construction proper will be laid. Most of the bricks to be used in this build ing have come from the buildings torn down to make the Plaza in Bridgeport and they are all on the lot ready to be used.
 This building which will be one of the largest in the town will have stores on the first floor and up to date tenements on the two upper floors.
 Work or the sewers in the west end of the town 5 progressing rapidly and some time this year the work will be all completed and turned over t0 the town. It will be impossible to finish these sewers " July 1 which is called for by the contract but there will be no money forfeiture, accord ing to the secretary of the sewer commission, Paul P. GoodeH, as it was trouble with the securing of la bor that held the work back last year and there is a clause in the contract that protects the contractor.
 No fault can be found with the contractors for not being further along with this work as they have ap- parentIy done all they could to SC cure men, paying at times 50 cents an hour for a man to dig in the trench. They have secured machines and exerted every effort to finish the job on time but it has been ip1possi- bIe and it will be some time later in the year before the sewers are com pIeted.
 There are three gangs of men at present working on this sewer sys- tenn one on Stratford avenue. one on Barnum avenue and another on the side streets on Hoilister Heights The work on Barnum avenue is being 1 pushed so that the pipes may all be ! laid before the concrete permanent 1 pavement is laid.

When you stop TO consider what the

you will surely agree that personal
wealth is just about at the head Of
the list. Only yesterday. there sp-
peared local editorial headed How
Much Is Too Much Money" The high
cost OF living is a question Of indi-
vidual wealth. as to how well you
can stand to pay the prices.
Consider. then, the interesting angles
in a story that has for its leading
characters the richest girl in the
world. who is ignorant of her i'm
mense wealth. and a young man also
Of wealth who despises money and
its influences. The girl, Geraldine

reared an orphan. in ignorance of the
vast estate inherited from her father.
II Is after she makes her debut in
society that she discovers that she Is
the richest girl in the world. and
then a series Of startling discoveries
as TO the source of her wealth lead
to some quite remarkable actions on
her part The young man who so
hates wealth finally goes so far as to
change his name and attempts to lose
his identification in his established
position OF riches.
Here indeed Is a story for entertain
ment OF the unusual sort. when all
humanity seems in a mad rush to
attain wealth and position here are
played scenes of persons running away
