Two Negroes Tapped Laun- dryman's Till on Wood
 Avenue.

After an exciting chase through Maplewood and Wood avenues, Thomas L. Brown, colored, of 56 Lexington avenue was arrested this moaning in Wood park, by Officer Lenahan, charged with attempting to rob Joe Lee. a Chinese laundryman of 916 Maplewood avenue. Another co1ored man implicated in the in tended robbery was pursued by Off, cer Grosshardt and Patrick Winn of 211 Lenox avenue. He managed to escape even after the officer had fred at him, disappearing at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Courtland street.
 Brown and the other negro went to Lees shop this morning for the supposed purpose of robbery. Brown stayed outside as a watcher" The other colored man entered the Iaun- dry shop and asked Lee to change a dollar bill. The Iaundryman gave the negro two half dollars and the
 nan then asked him to change another bill.
 Refusing the negrO's second request, Lee went to the back room cf his store and started to hang up clothes He heard his cash drawer open, but when he looked into the front room no one was st the till. A moment later the Chinaman heard the drawer open again. He rushed to the front of the shop and caught the negro in the act of removing the cash.
 The thief bolted out of the door. and in company with Brown darted off down AapIewood avenue. Lee en- listed the aid of Patrick Vim, of 211 Lenox avenue, who happened to be passing at the time, and the two men started in pursuit of the robbers Off, Ger Lenahan joined the chase, and Brown was caught at Wood park
 The other colored man continued his flight hotly pursued by Vim. officer Grosshardt entered the mara thon at this point, and the two men chased the fugitive through numerous side streets, back yards and over fences until the negro broke cover at Rhe corner of Fairfield avenue and Courtland street. Seeing that he stood a good chance of losing his man Off Ger Grosshardt fired his revolver in the air from the top Of the erlbankment on the Bishop property This only served to increase the speed of the fleeing man. and he ttsa appeared after crossing Fairfield avenue.
 At police headquarters, Vim recog- nized Brown as one of the men whom lut CnILaIQan SalQ nad atteIQ Dted to rob him. When arrested Brown had in his possession $2.76 in cash, a bill fold, seven pawn tickets and a lucky bag"
 Two of the tickets found on Browns clothing were from New York pawn shops, and five were is sued by local pawn brokers. One of the New York tickets was for S75 on a diamond ring, and the other was for $50 on a diamond pin. The Bridgeport tickets were for clothes, a handbag and jewelry.

POLICE MAY NOT
 PARTICIPATE IN
 ANNUAL PARADE

The advisabiIity of hoIdfng the reg ular annual inspection and parade of the Bridgeport Fire and Police de- partr2 ents on November l. will be de- cided as far as the police are con cerred at touiglt's meeting af the Board of Police Commissioners at po- lice headquarters.
 Fire department officials have all roady arranged for the participation of the firemen in the annual event, hut owing to certain existing condi- tiOns tc is improbable that the police will take part il the affair. The gen eraI concensus among police officials seems to favor Q private inspection of the Eepartment such as was held last year.
 ( Aside from the matter of the annual inspection. there will probably be no important business brought before to- nights meeting. The appointment Of q new lieutenant for duty in the de- tective department has been hanging ire for two months and will probably continue to do so for some time yet.

 Peace Conference)
 Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 15-The GOV enant of the League of Nations is by far the most salient feature of the Treaty of Peace just signed. Whether the League will prove it. self equal to the noble task for which it is intended, depends much upon the practical working of the insti- tuition. Japan, as one of the prin- ciPa1 Powers, is to be an important members of the League, and We should clearly understand that we are promoting the usefulness of this great international organization. In this dawning of an enduring peace, We should direct our efforts whole- heartedIy and in earnest to make the world secure from further menace of war.

 In certain quarters in Europe and America, analogy i> drawn between Japan and Germany, and we are of ten spoken of as q nation given to nilitarism and aggression. The aC- cusation is no doubt primarily due to the sinister propa ganda of certain interested parties. In any case, the fact that we should be made an ob- JScI pl Q4SllGoL ana HIS LII ltieISt tttIlN4- ing is immensely harmful to the leg it1mate activities of Japan and her people. At the same time, a situa- tion no less unfortunate might be created if the attitude and policies of foreign nations towards Japan in the Far East. should be influenced by erroneous conception.
 It is then of r~famount import .ance to correct a mistaken judgment of this country. I trust that foreign nations will gain a clearer insight into the actual conditions of Japan, and also that our people whether in the government service or in pri- vate life, will exercise the utmost care in action of domestic or inter national concern, so that it may he proved beyond doubt that our na- tiona1 ideals are entirely opposed to m1litarsm or aggression.

Give The Taxpayers
 Dollar Same Chance
 Says Allen E. Vincent

the construction Of the Grand street bridge, where I believe there was lack of business judgment and fore sight. This bridge which was built by the municipal dollar, was contracted for originally at a price of $23O,- 700.17. The contract was broken, the construction finished by the city on a cost plus basis, and so far, approxi- plately, at an expense of almost S600,000, nor has the city any way of computing the total cost until suits pending are settled. This one illus tration is along my thought of why the municipal dollar of the city does not receive fair business treatment.
 This is the platform upon which I stand.

College Boy No Mollycoddle
From The College Man in Action by Paul van Dyke. in the Scribner


 Paul van Dyke, in the Scribner,
 For example, the idea of using the bayonet was particularly distasteful to most of the young college men with whom I talked in America before they came to France. I believe that some natural repugnance existed among our troops as mass Yet every officer with whom I talked spoke of the readi ness and eagerness of his men to charge with the bayonet Scores of of ficers have told me that the only diff f1culty they ever had with a platoon, company, battalion or regiment was to hold them back and stop them from try ing to make too long advances. I have it from officer after officer out of his actual experience that the Germans would not stand up to our men with the bayonet and one older man. with the habit of careful observation, told me he had seen numbers Of German dead killed by the bayonet, but had never been able to find on the field of battle a single American killed by the bayonet. This seems to me a preroga tive instance of the triumph of will reason, and the sense of duty over the repugnance of natural instincts which must have been. from what I saw be- fore I left America. particularly great among college men,
 I remember one of my students, young man of the utmost refinement of spirit whom I asked; What branch of the service will you choose?" He said: "The infantry" Why" Be- cause I believe this war must be set tied by dirty work with the bayonet. I hate the thought of it, but I want to take my share of the dirty work The gallant lad who insisted on going into the ranks, and was commissioned almost in spite of himself. died he roically in the south bank of the Marne helping to stem the German rush across the river. The official report said that in the immediate vicinity of his dead body and that of the enlisted men who fell beside him, there were II dead Germans.
 Those people who feared that war would breed among any class of our American young men, college men or others, military spirit or love for war, may lay aside their fears. If you want to meet people who hate war with and men of our army who have been in a deadly hate. talk now with officers France.

RACE IN SOUTHERN
 IS SURE A PEACH Just When One Club Ap- pears Hopeless It Begins
 a Winning Streak

Did you ever see prettier race than is being staged between the eight clubs in the Southern this year? Nobody can dope it, and not a single club appears to be down and out Ne wOrleans, Bir mingham and Little Rock all lost yes terday, and whats more the first two named have been losing pretty regu- larly here lately.
 Fans who have seen every club at Redwood this season are inclined to believe that Little Rock has a shade on the others, but the Kids team, after trouncing the league-leading Pels, found Atlanta tough proposition. Bir- mingham put it over Mobile and lost to Nashville. but these Vols in turn are beaten by the Bears. Memphis and Chattanooga proved pie for us at Rick wood, but on their own grounds they were poison
 After being counted down and out, the Chicks took three consecutive se- ries from Atlanta, New Orleans and Birmingham. Mobile is playing about as consistently as any of them. It's a beauty this year. boys. We never saw em so evenly matched at this time of the year
