MAYOR WILL
FLY OVER TO
MOMAUGUIN
Will Go to Legislative Din
ner in One Of Bill
Seeley's Planes.

Owing to the fact that Bridgeports
jitney service does not extend to the
Mamauguin Mayor Wilson will be
transported through the clouds which
hover over Long Island Sound next
Wednesday when he will make the
trip to the annual dinner of the Leg
islative club.
1t was remarked in the City Hall
this morning this is not the first time
that Mayor Wilson has been up in
the air.
Mayor Wilson seems to have lost
his heirship to the Republican guber-
material nomination by the decision
of J. Henry Roraback who presides
over the highest Republican state
tribunal.
The airship that he will use We'd
nesday is one of the fleet controlled
by Parker Seeley and will be in
charge of an experienced pilot who
will try and make a better record
than the pilot who was in charge of
the other heirship.

SERVICE MEN
KICKING
ON MERRITT
Saw His Record in Congress
Was Altogether Against
the Soldiers.

'sThe Republican leaders who met
at Danbury Wednesday and 50 kindly
agreed on Schuyler Merritt as the
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict seem to have forgotten that there
are a number of Republicans in the
district who saw service during the
war and who do not forget the way
in which Congressman Merritt ignor-
ed their wishes in reference to the
soldiers bonus and other bills pend
ing in the last Congress and the de-
light which he seemed to take in op-
posing the wishes Of the eX-service
men in these matters. He was flood
ed with letters and te1egrams in IA
vor of the bonus bill but apparently
would rather have the good wishes of
the Republican bosses than that of
the men who served in the war" said
prominent and indignant ex-service
Republican today.
"It is bad enough to have this nom
ination forced us but in the talk
of candidates for other honorable po-
sitions there was not one mentioned
who had seen service.
We have good men and able men
in the party who were across the
water and who would make excellent
candidates on the ticket for congress
man. There is Earl Garlick, who
has a service record to be proud of
and who would make a great con-
gressman. He is able and qualified
and would see that the boys would
get a fair show if he were sent to
Washington.
I'm Merritt's section of the county
there is Justus J. F'ennell, a member
of the state executive committee of
the American Legion, who would get
the support of the soldier boys and
who would make an excellent candi-
date.
THE leaders think that they can
put up any one this year and they
will be elected but they will find
when, the election is over that the
service men had not forgotten and if
Merritt gets the nomination his rec
| ord will be given to all the boys

SOVIET REPLY TO BRITAIN.

London, Aug. LEO Kamenef of
the Russian Soviet delegation here
sent Premier Lloyd George last night
a long communication giving the So
Wet governments reply to Great Bri-
tains note of Tuesday with regard to
the delay in the -armistice negotia-
tions between Russia and Poland.
NJ. Kameneff's statement declares
the Soviet government never desired
to combine the negotiations for an
armistice with negotiations for peace
but that it demands that the terms
of the armistice include reasonable
guarantees which would prevent at
tempts on the part of Poland to use
the period of the ars1istice for the
renewal of hostile acts.
The note continues:
The Russian Soviet government
again declares that it is firm in the
recognition of the freedom and in
dependence of Poland, and it's willing
ness to grant to the Polish state
wider frontiers than were indicated
by the supreme council and mention
cd in the British note of July 20.''
The note says the Soviets suggested
that the proposed London peace con-
ference be only with the leading en-
tente powers because it's usefulness
arose from the fact that without the
assistance of the leading powers war
could not be waged by other states
against Russia and the peace OF
Europe would be guaranteed. The
Kameneff statement continues:
1--WE are still of the opinion that
direct negotiations with Poland for
peace would serve the interests both
of the Russian and Polish peo-
pies"
The conference in London be-
tween Russia and the leading powers
of the entente, says the communica'
ton, would have for its object the
regularization of the international po-
sition of Russia and the settlement
of all outstanding questions betwe II
her and the allies, for the benefit o.
general peace"
The guarantees the Soviet govern
ment desires that Poland will not use
the armistice period for renewal o.
hostilities. it is set forth, include hel
partial disarmament and the cessation
of the recruiting of conscript soldier
as well IS voluntary errollnients. Z

Warsaw, Aug. 5.-By The A. P.)-
The defensive line east of Warsaw
has been pierced in several places, ac-
corciing to reports from the front
Preparations have been begun for

of Ostrov the Soviet troops are re-
ported to have crossed the river in
large numbers.

the Bug below Bre5t-Litovsk. In the

There was fighting at various points

Russians.
The Soviet troops have been check
ed in their westward push along the
Prussian border, the statement an

in an advance apparently designed to
bring them to the Warsaw-Danzig
railway. Military observers assert
that this is part of the Russian out
flanking movement planned to en-
circle the capital, thus saving the
heavy losses which would result If
Warsaw were attacked directly.

 He reached Into the pocket of his blouse. drew out the small velvet box, raised the lid, lifted the girls hand, and laid the Blue Moon in her palm. The sunset, the green of the leaves, the glory of silver-edged cloud float ing across the sky-the wonderful gem caught them all, and lay laughing them up into her face.
 "Wnd Rose" Her eyes left the pearl and rose to his face. What she saw there brought little catch to her breath. And there was a note in his voice that had never been there be- fore. "I reckon there's nobody left but just-yOu, and-me. And noth- ing in the world counts to me but you. The pearl is your birthday pres ent."

The girl lifted her face-like the dawn of day; her eyes glorious with the light not of star or sun; the light 1t is given man but once to see.

PROBABLE ORIGIN OF WAGONS
Mankind Slow to Recognize the Possl. biIity of Quicker Movement by
 Means of Wheeled Vehicles.
THE END.l

Wagons probably originated from rude vehicles dragged on cylindrical logs, which must soon have suggested the Idea of the axis and the solid wheel, even now used in remote dis trlsts of Portugal. According to Moses, Egypt was the country where wagons were first used. The Chinese called the inventor Hlene-Yuene. The Greek attributed the invention to ErichthOnlus, the fourth king of Ath- enSA Wagons with two wheels may have been the first constructed, but Homer mentions fOur-wheeled wagons, the invention of which was ascribed to the Phrygians. Much time elapsed before wagons were used for pleasure carriages. Moses mentions the war chariots of Pharaoh. Theseus IS said to have introduced charlots among the Greeks. The Greeks also used two wheeled chariots, each containing two persons, one of whom drove while the other threw spears. The chariots were open behind and had low wheels. The Romans used wagons early and gave different names to them according to the purpose to which they were applied, as car nentum, two-whecled vehicle used by the Roman ladies.
