This Easter Significant

When the city was captured by the
British there was great local anxiety
as to what might result. With the
entry of General Allenby, with his
staff and certain French and Italian
officers, these anxieties were quick
1y set at rest The Jewish popula-
ton soon learned that all was to be
we'll with them and other sects rep
resented in the citizenship OF the his

A sense Of peace. liberty and securi-
ty had its immediate effect and in
fluenced profoundly the preparations
for the new, unexampled Easter as
we'll as for future worship of every
sort in the troubled Holy Land. In
Jerusalem as elsewhere began to ap-
pear a conviction that. no matter how
long world peace might be delayed,
a new spirit was abroad throughout
the earth.
This Easter, then, has special sig
nificance, in view of all the centuries

BAD WEATHER MAY CAUSE COAL
 CRISIS H. CITY

Weather which has made impossi- ble the docking and unIoa ding of many coal barges destined for this city, threatens to cause a crisis in the coal situation here. Unless the weather permits the unloading of the barges within the rest of the week. some Bridgeport dealers will be prac- iscaiiy out of coal This is due to the fact that the supply has not been sufficiently over the demand for a long time tO permit the accumulation of any considerable reserve stock and when the deliveries 10 the city were cut off by such conditions that made getting coal here impossible, a short age was threatened.
