Bridgeport's big event tomorrow, the visit of General Clarence R. Ed wards, under the auspices of the Bridgeport War Bureau, will un- doubtedly arouse more enthusiasm than anything that has bean arranged since the war began. All indications point to immense gatherings at all places where the General speaks.

He will be received at the railroad station by @ committee of men well known in this city and es- cOrted to the hotel.
 So great was the demand of the Victory Girls and Boys to see and hear the General of the Yankee divi- sion that a meeting at the armory for the 2,500 members of this organiza- tion has been arranged for 3:3G o'clock. From this meeting General Edwards will go to the High school auditorium where he will address the mothers of the boys who were with him In France. This meeting is open to all women who wish to attend.
 The armory meeting will begin at 8 o'clock but the doors will be opened to the public at ' o'clock. From 7:SO until s o'clock there will be community singing under the direc- ton of Alvin c.

Mayor Will son will preside.
 A section in the center will be re- served for soldiers in uniforms and 1t is especially desired that they take advantage of this opportunity to greet their old General.
