DEATH RATE IS FOUND TO BE
 IA PER 1000
:Continued from Page One,

:Continued from Page One.>
 It was found that there were in the sch ools of the city 33,172 pupils. It is apparently the custom of our edu- cational authorities. and of similar authorities elsewhere, to estimate the population as of a given date by null tiplying the number of school children present in the schools on that date by the factor "5." In actual practice this procedure has given an estima te d population closely approximating that secured from an actual enumeration of inhabitants.
 'It is possible that the discrepancy between the estimated population so obtained and the population arrived at through the census enumeration of the United States government may be due to two causes: In the first place. it is quite possible that with the ces- sation of War Activities in Bridgeport a considerable number of unmarried males and females sought work else where This of course would disturb the usual ratio of 'r1'' to "5" in the school census. It is also possible that the governments enumeration may have fallen short of the actual num- Der of persons in this city.
 'tThe Health Officer of the city in es- tmating his rates is obliged to rely on procedures which have stood the test of experience. Among these proceed ureS is the school census. While we must of course, in our estimates for this year accept the figures given us by the Census Bureau, it may we'll be asked, what figures we shall use dur ing the coming year. It has, been stated that the General Electric Com pany wishes to bring into Bridgeport a number of employees. variously est If 5000 employees, for instance, are brought by this company into the city there should under any reasonable average be an increase in the city s population of 4,00O persons; but if for next year the Health Officer in his es- tina tees again uses the figures of the Census Bureau and these persons are present in the city he will, in any of his estimates, underestimate his rates
 ''The report for 1919 was written by my predecessor, Dr. Walter H. Brown, who was obliged, in estimating his rates, to use the only figures obtain able. I trust that I have been able to point out to you the difficulty in ob- taining correct rates. and I sincerely trust not for benefit of the Depart ment of Health but for the people of Bridgeport that the death rate given for the year 1919 may not vary SO far from fact as appears"

OPINIONS OF
 OFFICERS WERE
 MUCH DISTORTED
(Continued From Page One )

(Continued From Page One.) hardly have been otherwise because the great mass of such opinions must necessarily have been based upon in complete information and much even of this information was necessarily erroneous
 He said it was natural that some of ffcers should have expressed opinions upon the conduct of the war when questioned by anxious relatives and friends and that these opinions later appeared -in many groteSquely mis- taken editorials criiticising the strat- egy and conduct of the army and navy, usually based upon the ex- pressed authority of so-called 'ex- perts'
 "I believe" he went on, that few people know the extent to which pub lie opinion was formed in this man. ner, or the extent to which such nee essarily erroneous opinions actually influenced even many of the most inn portant government officials, both In our country and in allied countries
 Admiral Sims said that during the war he received many letters of crit icssm from leading members of the government" naval officers and civil ians.
 Without exception,'' he said, 'they showed ignorance Of the conditions governing the naval campaign"
 He added that perhaps the mos mum erous and insstent of the critics pointed out the gross stupidity o1 hunting and fighting enemy subma, rines in the open sea. rather thar capturing and destroying their bases or blocking their egress therefron.' He said such criticisms were easily refuted'' but that the most disquietins feature wRs the number of letters from civilians stating that such and such a naval officer had told them o1 the various fatal mistakes bei1 made in the conduct of the war One regretta'ble result of the erron- eouS information circulated, he said was the paying of many millions o1 insurance against losses at sea, bonn. bardments of coast cities and ever bombing of inland cities.
 "One poor mother of a boy serving in the destroyer forces abroad wrote fearful letter imploring me not to .et her beloved son starve to death She had been informed that the fooe supply was failing.''
 Admiral Sims said that all officers should be warned of the danger ot such condition and how it cou'G have been avoided or greatly minimiz. e if each officer had realized that ht did not have the necessary informa. ton to form a just opinion and hae had the courage when asked questions to say "I don't know

ARE HINTING
 AT COLLISION IN BERGDOLL ESCAPE
Continued From Page One


 Department of Justice agents here are Investigating certain aspects of the case which they say point strongly to col1usion- While they would not say upon whom their suspicion rested, they declared they were convinced that Bergdo1 was aided in his escape.
 When he got away Bergdoll was uressed in his army prison garments of olive drab denim and on a metal disc which he wore on a string about his neck was his convict number 10.
 Washington, May 22-Groyer Cleveland Bergdol1, rich draft dodger who escaped from two army sergeants at Philadelphia, yesterday was per mftted to leave Fort Jay on repre- sentation of his counsel that he had secreted a large sum of money in a place known only to himself, Secre- tary Baker said today in a formal statement.
 MT. Baker denied published reports that he had authorized the moving of Bergdoll and said his first knowledge that the prisoner had left Fort Jay was when Adjutant General Harris reported his escape. The Secretary added that on receiving this report. he directed an immediate and thorough investigation.''
