GIVEN
 THREAT OF JAIL
Cortland H. Young, Head of Young's Magazine, Also
 Fined Here for Speeding.

Cortland H. Young, editor of Young's magazine and Breezy Stories must go to jail unless he refrains from reckless automobile driving dur ing the next year. Young was brought before the criminal common pleas court today for the second time on this charge and Acting Judge Wilder sentenced him to jail for one year. He suspended the execution of sentence and placed the editor in custody of Judge N. c. Downs of Stamford to whom he must report twice a month. A fine of s150 was also imposed on Young which he paid.
 It was alleged that last year Young was driving his car through the streets of Stamford, where he makes his home and was intoxicated. A trolley car had stopped and an auto mobile ahead of Young waited while passengers were discharged. Instead of stopping, it is said that Young drove around the standing machine and his car struck a woman, who was crossing the street. She was not seriously injured.
 Young was recently sued by Ann Porter, a young actress, who claimed he was the father of her child. The court ordered him to pay for the child's support.

MAJORITY OF
 EMPLOYES OUT
No Attempt Made to Place Tickets At the Fac
 tories.

Waterbury, June 23-Although the number of strikers who went back to work this forenoon exceeded the number of new strikers today, the big majority of the 6,00O striking en- ployes of local brass mills are still out. There is talk on the streets of a machinists' strike but the plans of the machinists, who recently organ ized a local branch of the Machinists' Union, are known only to themselves, as they have not presented any de- mands to the factories.
 Six representatives of the strikers met today in the office of the North American Civic League for Immi grants and appointed a committee of three to seek permission from Mayor Sandland to hold a mass meeting at which a new set of demands will be drawn up. The new demand will com prise only two main points, that the an increase in wages be given. If a permit for mass meeting is granted the workmen's union will be organ ized, it was stated by the delegates this forenoon, a committee of 27, rep resented by the various natioua1ities involved, to have charge of the work of organizing.
 Except for minor cases of disorders, the weekend passed uneyentfully. Saturday night the. police and city guards raided a street meeting in the North End, arresting a soap-boX orator and six members of the crowd of workers listening to him. All are Russians, and they are charged with breach of the peace.

HERE'S A NICE
 WAY TO HAVE FUN
Board @ Savin Rock Jitney and Ride Round and
 Round the Block.

The long distance jitney and the traffic rules have combined to bring the people of Bridgeport a new amuse- ment or irritation. according as one looks at it. Boarding a bus at Fair field avenue and State street, which bears the label Savin Rock, sight seekers yesterday had the novel ex- perience of being driven round and round the block, bounded Main street.
 Holden Hill, Middle and Main, all for nothing. The trip lasted until the drivers got their quota of passengers, and the distance travelled free was often a substantial part of the dis tance to the Rock.

M'CEE
 SAYS COAL WILL
 BE SCARCE

Patrick McGee, the largest retailer selling coal in Bridgeport and second largest in the state of Connecticut, declared in an interview today, that the coal situation at present is one of the most crucial in the history of the coal industry in America, and that there is a serious possibility. if not probability, of a coal shortage next fall and winter.
 Tt seems a pity that our great American public does not take the lessons they learn at such bitter cost to themselves more deeply to heart" said he.
 The life of a coal merchant for the last three years has been anything but a bed of roses and despite our great deasire to be of assistance and to lend the public every aid in our power, they do not seem to take heed of the facts as they really are.

The main force of the British fleet. was absent exercising al sea when the German ships were sunk, only some drifters, small warships and patroll- ing aircraft being on guard over the informed enemy squadron.
 Admiral Won Reuter-. commander of the surrendered German fleet, says he issued an order to sink the ships, the Daily Mail adds. and did so because at the beginning of the war the Ger man emperor directed that no German warship should fall into the enemys hands. He says that he believed, from newspaper reports that the armistice had been ended.
 Admiral von Reuter- visited Germany some weeks ago, it being understood at the time that the reason for his trip was that he was i'll, but he soon returned, and it is believed that at that time he circulated the order to sink the German ships by evading the censorship or making signals to the various vessels, an act which the close proximity Of the German ships made quite easy. The Mail quotes the ad- miralty as denying that the German crews were periodically changed and saying that the original crews re- mained on board the vessels. There were from 15O to 200 men on the big ships and from 10 to 20 on board the destroyers. Therefore, there were nearly 5000 in the water or in the ships boats when the fleet was sunk. Fourteen hundred were landed by the British on Sunday at Nigg, on the northern shore of Cromarty Firth. They were placed in hutments and are being held under military guard.
 From the behavior of the ships, according to the Mail, it was evident +I,ae I,a 5 in a surprisingly short time the vessels big and small. began to settle down. Every effort was made by the British naval craft to beach the sinking ships, and in the case of destroyers con-

Most of those who returned went back at the Coe shops of the company and the brass mill of the A. B. c. section of the mills. Few employees reported for work at the copper mills and the wire mill, in the lower end of the city.
 The employees of the Ansonia O. & .C. Company returned this morning and the Ansonia Mfg. Company re- ported nearly all of it's employees back at work. Scores of deputy sheriffs. made up mostly of uniformed police men from New Haven, Waterbury. Derby and other cities were on duty at the mills and other preparations were made to cope with any trouble which might arise.
 No arrests were made until after o'clock when the police were called to disperse crowds which insisted on gathering about the mill gates of the American Brass shops on Liberty street. The officers at that point were in charge of Sergeant Lynch of New Haven who rounded up six of the trouble makers and took them to the police station. One was bartender in a saloon who was taken into cus- tody and the saloon closed up. Ser geant Lynch established a dead line and gave notice that those who in- sisted upon invading it without good cause would be Arrested

Old Potatoes and
 Strawberries Both
 Waning in Market

Old potatoes and strawberries are waning together, according to Federal Market Reporter G. M. Stack. The strawberry season has apparently passed it's height. A moderate supply of large late crop berries were selling from S7.0O to $500 per 32 quart crate this morning or 22 to 25 cents per quart. The supply of berries coming from nearby towns is nearly exhaust ed and new market arrivals are com ing from inland towns of this state.
 Old potatoes are selling at the low est wholesale prices of the season. A good share of the old potatoes in the market are of good quality and should be moved before they decay and represent loss in valuable food. Maine potatoes of marketable quality were wholesaling this morning from $1.00 to SIPS per bushel. New pota- toes from Virginia the first so far this season. are wholesaling at lower prices. Fancy Virginia potatoes wholesaled from $500 to $7.O0 per barrel or 55 to 64 cents per peck, with low price of 52 cents in sew eral wholesale houseA

The agreement pro- vides for Mrs. Moore to have custody of three children in her Greenwich home for one month, beginning July T Major Moore agrees to live in private apartments but can have free access to the children at all reason able times.

MAYOR WILSON PROCLAIMS RECOGNITION WEEK AS
 PERIOD OF THANKSGIVING

Bridgeport has arranged to for mally welcome home the men who have returned from the great war so successfully conSummated through their courage fortitude, and genuine American patriotism.
 We cannot overeStimate the re- suit of their splendid achieve ments. We owe them our highest expression of appreciation and to the families of those who have made the supreme sacrifice for America and humanity let us give our true sympathy. America never stood so high as at present. Let us rededicate ourselves to the in stitutions, traditions, and ideals so peculiarly ours, and seek a greater national unity and a rejuvenated Am ricanism. May we make the great victory complete by embrac- ing the opportunities at our door, and "carry on'' in tn same whole hearted, unselfish way which char acterized the actions of the men we delight to honor.
 do, therefore, proclaim June 29th to July 4th as a period of public thanksgiving to God for his manifest blessings, and a demon stration to the world of our pride in and appreciation of the heroism and accomplishments of our men in the Great War which have se- cured to us for all time our American ideals and traditions. I request every business house, fac tory, and home at least to display "Old Glory and to otherwise decorate as may be possible.
 Let us make this a real expres- sion of gratitude in every particu-
