AMMONIA FUMES DRIVE EMpLOYES
 TO THE STREET

Fumes of ammonia escaping from the plant of the Farmers Dairy Co., on North avenue this morning, drove employees of the plant to the street and caused excitemtnt in the neigh borhood for a short time. The odor was so strong that it spread for a distance of a block from the plant
 Housewives whose windows were open noticed the powerful odor and hastened to take measures to shut it out Persons passing on the streets near the plant were almost over powered by the fumes. It was stated that none of the employees of the Dairy Go. was injured.
 The accident was due to the blow out of a tube from a generator four feet in diameter. Repairs were made in a short time and as soon as the building was thoroughly aired, the employees returned to work.

WILL APPOINT 45 PATR0LMEN NEAR
 ELECTION TIME

The Republican organization of Bridgeport is paving the way for some new support in the fall cam paign and will shortly distribute plumS in the form of forty-five berths in the police department. Al though the vacancies have existed for some time in many cases and some appointments are due to bring the force to the strength authorized by appropriations of the Board of Alp portioment, the police commissioners have held off naming the men, de- cidinl: to wait until almost election time in order to gain the full strength that the distribution may give.
 The forty-hve vacancies on the force at the present time are due to the deatl,s,, resignations and original appointment authorizations that have accumulated over several months.
 The police commissioners have up to this time avoided making appoint ments but it is understood that the board is now ready to let loose and that some vacancies will be filled at the meeting of July IS and the re- mainder at subsequent sessions car ried along until the first of Novem- Der.

Granting Of Garage Permit
 Causes Storm Of Opposition
CLAIM NO PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD BEFORE PERMISSION WAS GIVEN TO ERECT GARAGE
 NEAR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Claiming that no public hearing was held before a permit was granted to scheible and Johnson in building a. public garage on the corner of Boston avenue and Beecher street, several of the residents in that vicinity have strongly voiced their opposition to the action of the Common Council who granted the permit Monday night. With the Huntington school across the street a few blocks away and the unfavoraJble location of the garage near the homes, sentiment tmong the householders of that section is very much against the action.
 When Col. Elmer H. Ravens. presi- dert of She Board of Education. was asked today if he knew anything of until after it was granted and not un- til the neighbors appealed to him. He said it was probable the matter would be taken up at the meeting of the board on Monday evening.
 The garage as planned will be erected ten feet away from the home of a MT. Barrett on Beecher street. with four feet of line from the street. Since the Barrett house is set well back from the street, 1t will be large ly shut off from view. Many of the children on going to school will have to cross the street in front of the gar age.
 In speaking of the matter today, Archer Silliman, assistant treasurer (Continued on Page Stxteen.)

FRENCH WOULD BE CUT
 TO HEART IF AMERICA
 DISAPPROvES TREATY
,N TALK WITH PRESS WILSON STATES HE THINKS TANKS SHOULD STAY ON RHINE UNTIL GERMANS FULL
 FILL PEACE TERMS.

Washington, July i0-Presi- dent Wilson, conferring with newspaper correspondents at the White House today, indi- cated that he was extremely gratified that the treaty of peace had been ratified so promptly by the German na- tional assembly.
 The president made 1t clear that demobilziation of the American army would depend upon the speed with which the military conditions of the peace treaty were executed by Ger many and the treaty was ratified by the various governments.
 He has the impression that the French people would be cut to the heart if the United States should fail to approve the special treaty. He does not believe there would be any difficulty in recognizing such an act of aggression by Germany as would necessitate American aid to France under the pact.
 In response to questions regarding 7he Plume situation. the president pointed out that the treaty of London provided that Plume was to go to Croatia and that Italy did not lay claim to the city when that treaty was signed.
 He feels that the United States must play Q generous part in the re- construction of Europe. but he be- 1ieves this should be accomplished by establishing some sound basis of cred st rather than by direct government bid.
 Wilson is understood to take the position that a two-thirds ma Jortty will be required to adopt any Senate ysservations in ratifYDg the peace treaty. The impression of opposition leaders in the Senate has been that only a simple majority would be re- uuired.
 The President also indicated that he felt trade relations between Ger many and the associated nations

 President Wilson submitted to
 the senate only the treaty con-
 taining the covenant of the
 Leage of Nations. The proposed
 supplementary treaty under
 which the United States would
 agree to go to the aid of France
 in case of an unprovoked assault
 on that country by Germany, he
 will present separately at a later
 date.
 The most Skeptica1 of the peace confereeS at Paris, the President said had turned more and more to the league as discussion progressed in seeking solution of the problems that arose in framing the terms of the treaty itself.
 The fact that the covenant of the league was the first substantive part of the treaty to be worked out and agreed Upon,' the President said. while all else was in solution helped to make the formulation of the rest eaSier.'
 He said agreement on the covenant had given the -conferees a feeling thas their work was to be permanent and that the most practical among them were at last the most ready to refer -o the league of nations the superin- of all intrests which do not admilt of immediate determination of all administrative problems which
