RecI'eatiC IA Building
 Would Fill Want Here
Building Operated In Detroit Would Be Asset In Bridge porEFinds Favor With Prominent Citizens and
 Would Appeal to Workers

stAt the present time there is no place in the city where a man can go and enjoy a quiet smoke while reading his paper. The libraries throughout the country do not permit smoking, and with the advent of prohibition the consequent closing of the majority of the saloons, men who formerly occupied them for part of the even ing are now standing around street corners dissatisfied with life in gen eral. A building such as that describ- ed would also be of benefit to the la- dies who at the present time are rather limited in their choice of places to seek amusement or in which to spend, a few leisure moments
 Albert E. Lavery, secretary of the executive committee on the Memorial plan, is also of the opinion that a building such as Detroit's would be of benefit to Bridgeport. This build ing could be financed by private or public capital said MT. Lavery, "and the initial capital needed would not amount to such a considerable sum the building could be mtortgaged for a percentage of it's cost"
 George s. Hawley. counsel of the Manufacturers Association, admitted Wnen dSkeu, InaI ne WRdS 1dininaf With the plan of Detroit's Recreation building. Questioned about the ad- visibility of such a building for Bridgeport, MT. Hawley said: 'fThe
 plan has been successful in Detroit and other places and ought to be suc-
 cessfu1 in Bridgeport if such an inn
 mense project, probably involving up wards of $5OO,OO0, could be success , fully financed and completed
 The Detroit building, it is under stood, has been erected by private i firm, Sweeney & Huston, whom it is understood interested some of De- l troit's larger manufact cturers and cap
 italists in their project and secured i the necessary backing.

Collector of Internal Revenue James j. Walsh said yesterday that the in come tax season is on with it's usual gigantic amount of work.
 Beginning today deputies will be stationed in the larger cities where they will remain until March 15, which is the-last day for the filing of income fax returns. Tn the smaller cities and towns the scale of the time will be graduated according to the special needs of each place.
 During the time deputy is loca ted in a town his headquarters will be open from o'clock in the morning until '. in the evening. He is at the service of the taxpayer durig these hours and will be glad to help him with his problems, doubts and ques- tons. This system, which was in augurated last year, is in use prina- Tily for the man with an income un- der $5,O00, and for the person who is filing a return for the first time this year. The service is renrered withou' charge, and in return just one thing is asked.
 The itinerary of the deputies in cludes:
 Danbury---w. G. Olmstead.
 Bridgeport---E. J. Miller, T. F. Deg nan, F. F. Nevins. w. I. Davis, F. J 1{earn. w. O'COnnell. 'a Stamofrd---H. T. Lutterman, J. , Hickey.

Although there is but little chance that immediate action will be taken, there is a strong probability that Bridgeport will some time in the fu- ture have Recreation building mod elled after the one erected in Detroit. Bridgeport manufacturers having dis cussed the need of such a building 1n an informal way at various times dur ing the past several months. The dis cussion of the plan has been up Tn both the Manufacturers Association and the Employment Managers Asso- citation and though no specialization of ideas has occurred it is reported that the idea finds considerable favor among the industrial and official men of the city.
 Detroit's Recreation building is eight stories in height and is open for 24 hours of the day. It contains restaurant, cafateria, baths, dancing floors, nearly 200 pool and billiard tables, about 130 bowling alleys, an eN- hibition hall for public and private affairs, two floors devoted entirely to women, soda fountains and cigar stands on every floor, smoking. read ing and lounging rooms, in fact every thing that is necessary to the pleas ant passing of time.
 A force of 12 detectives is constant " in the building to see that law and order is maintained while the propr-e- | tors of the building see that perfect service is given in every detail. / Ele- vator service is supplied day and night i No admission is charged to the build l ing.
 Since the advent of prohibition and
 the closing of more Or less of the sa- | l workers is that they have no place to I go.'' Many of them do not care to
 go to the various shows in city ana 1 the library does not appeal to @ great 1 majority of the working class. Women i also, although not bothered by the closing of the saloons. have always Ebeen handicapped by the absence of any place where they could seek i wholesome amusement or the passing of a leisure hour or two.
 It has been estimated that build ing much like the one in Detroit could be erected and financed ir
 Bridgeport for upwards of $500,00O
 depending on the site of the building
 and it's size. It has been argued 1T
 some quarters that several smallel
 buildings located in several differen
 places in the city would be more ad visable than a centrally located one the uph elders of this idea claiming , that the Recreation buildings. if scat
 tered about the city. would be more
 accessible than one in the center.
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson. whe1
 asked what he thought of Q Recrea
 ton building for Bridgeport modelled } after Detroit's, stated that in his esti
 nation it would be one of the bes i things for private capital to erect il the city. ''I think the idea is a splen [ did one and one that would appeal t everybody in the city,'' said tn | mayor.
 Postmaster Charles F. Greene ex pressed himself as heartily in favo
 i of such a plan. "A Recreation build r ing similar to that in Detroit is jus 2 what the city needs,' said MT Greene

! turkish Leader Said Poor Strategy Would
 Lose Germany War
WARNED GERMAN COMMANDER ON WESTERN FRONT OF OUTCOME-WANTEDT TO GET
 TURKEY OUT OF WAR

Corlstantinople, Jan. 31-| (Delayed) - German military leaders who commanded the Turkish armies during the great war played a losing game from the start, their ideas of strategy being badly at fault, said Mustapha Kennel Pasha, leader of the Turkish Nation alists in Asia Minor, recently.
 He declared he brought the condi- ton of affairs before the Turkish government but received a rebuff. which brought about his resignation from his post. He said he warned German commanders on the western front in France in 1917 that the al lies would win the war.
 Mustapha Renal served in the Balkan war of 1912-13, and when Turkey entered the world conflict on the side of the Central Empires went to the Gallipoli peninsula as q col onel. Later he was promoted and was in command of operations there Then German officers began to ar rive and Renal was transferred to
 
 mand of the Turkish forces holding that stronghold. After 9 short per- iod he was again shifted, this time to the British front in Syria and Meso- potamia.
 ''Knowing the country and the capabilities of the Turkish troops" he said in the course of an inter- view, 'I saw the futility of the plans of Field Marshal Liman Won Sanders and General Falkenheyn, who were sent to Turkey by Germany I even went to Berlin to have them recalled, but did not succeed. In 1917. 1 was on the French battlefront and knew then the war would be lost, and ex- pressed my views to Field Marshsl Won Hindenburg and General Luden- dorff. The latter was quick to see my reasoning, and gave me a sympa- thetic hearing, but nothing came p1 my efforts. These German leaders suspected that I was trying to gel Turkey out of the war, which was the truth.
 "General Falkenheyn, under whom I was asked to serve with our seventh army, was so obviously wrong in his strategy that l refused to continue in my post. We lost ensa gements neal A1eppo and I made a report to En- yer Pasha, then Turkish minister ot war, advising that, in case of a vic tory, General Fa1khenheyn would at tempt to make German colony O. Turkey and another of Arabia. Thi may be found in official records. En yer Pasha answered I must serve under General Falkenheyn, so I re signed Later, when the German generals had been recalled, I rejoin ed my troops, winning my last twt engagements against the British be \ tween Damascus and Hama.

FORT TRUMBULL BEACH FIRE
 HOUSE BURNS
Other Apparatus Had Great Difficulty in Answer
 ing Alarm.

Milford, Feb. 13.-The Fort Trum- bull Beach fire house was totally de- stroyed by fire early this morning The fire started about o'clock and it was with difficulty that a few of the members who live nearby, sue. ceeded in removing the chemical en. zine before it was destroyed.
 It was a very hot fire while it lasted and the blaze lit up the sky for miles around.
 The other fire apparatus had great difficulty in answering the alarm on account of the condition of the streets which are several feet deep with snow in some places.
 The piano and other furniture be- longing to the Ladies Auxiliary OF the second floor was entirely de- stroyed and nothing is left of the building but the foundation. The piano had just been insured. The loss | is about $5, 600. The cause of the fire is unknown but it is believed to have been caused by an overheated stove.

ATTY. CROSBY
 GIVES ADDRESS ON LINCOLN

An interesting talk on Lincoln was Siven last night by former United States District Attorney John F. Crosby at the Eagles hall.
 "Lincoln's ideals were his only guide," said the speaker. Union was uppermost in his mind. Always his eyes were lifted for a United Repub- lie. During the last year of the war he went down the Potomac to meet the envoys of the confederacy and on meeting them said, Let me write union at the top of the paper and you can write anything else you please but they refused and said victory had not come yet
 Men shed genuine tears, he said, when Lhacoln diedA The inspiration Of that man who was a servant of the people should give the people of to- day a great lesson for his was a life of humility and his thoughts were al- ways for others.
 Attorney Henry E. Shannon presid- d at the meeting. Vocal selections were given by John Hughes, Miss To- retta OiConnor, Miss Catherine Lom- bard and Joseph Wieler The pro- gram closed with the entire audience singing The Star Spangled Banner

HOW ALLIES TOOK WILSON'S
 IA POINTS
Revealed For First Time By Paris News
 paper

Paris, Feb. 12.-How the Allies ac- cepted President Wilson's fourteen points in connection with armistice negO tiationS was revealed for the first time by the Echo De Paris Tuesday, It was meeting in the office of stephen Pichon, foregin minister, on November 3, 1918. Previous meet ings at Versailles had fixed the mil itary conditions of an eventual ar mistice and the government chiefs had met for final deIiberation.
 David Lloyd George, the British premier, the Echo De Paris says, turned to Colonel House and declared:
 ''f we have thoroughly understood President Wilson's thought, the ar nistice negotiations which the Amer ican government is disposed to open with Germany in concert with the allied powers are subordinateti hy the acceptance by the said powers of the principals and conditions of peace defined by the president on January and in his subsequent speeches. In a word, we must give our assent to the fourteen points," Colonel House is reported to have answered that was so. Premier Clemenceau broke in "As for the fourteen points, I have not read them yet. Let me know what they are.'
 Colonel House began, but after he had. read the first point (relative to "open covenants of peace, openly ! arrived at) M. Clemenceau exclaim- ed: That cannot be accepted. You l cannot negotiate in the middle of a l public street."
 A. J. Balfour, British secretary of of state for Foreign affairs, explained | this point meant of publication of a | result, and not the steps by which they were reached and the French premier answered:
 l ''In the case, my objections fall to
 the ground.''
 | Dealing of the second point, in which MT. Wilson declared in favor | of the freedom of the seas'' brought
 a reservation from Premier Lloyd George but the important third poin l (rcGarding the removal of economic tbarriers' and others went through quickly.
