THE PEOPLES SAY

Bridgeport. Conn.,, Sept 1, 1920 Editor Bridgeport Times, City,
 Sir:-In today's issue of your es- teemed paper you published an ac- count of the Spanish American War Veterans $20,000 that no one wanted, and I would like to make a suggestion to the Spanish-American War Vets.
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars is a men who have fought for the country went into Mexico in 1S47. It is no new organization. An outcome of our last war but number among it's mem oers men of the Mexican, Spanish Am erioan, the Islands and in fact all the campaigns where a bar is issued for the campaign. This organization has not been presented with any sum of money by no one as other organtZa- tions have in this state- The men from Connecticut who were overseas and for who the money was originally intended are members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Gf they are not mem bers they are eligible for membership and I would suggest that this sum of money be turned over to the Veterans of Foreign Wars to be divided among the different Posts throughout the state, to be used by them to assist this worthy organization on their feet Remember these are the men who helped to turn the trick and make it necessary for the Kaiser to retire to the woodpile.
 Respectfully,
 A Veteran of the 3rd Div.

TRYING TO DRAG
 BIG SEAPLANE
 FROM THE WATER

Pilot Harry Rogers and a rescue crew of Is men were making fran tic efforts at noon today to drag the hugh seaplane from the spot about one half mile off the Seaside Bath ing Pavilion where it has laid since yesterday afternoon at o'clock when in an attempt to make a landing with five passengers aboard the bottom of the boat came into con- tact with a large piece of driftwood which tore gaping hole in the bottom of the boat attachment al- most directly underneath the motor The five passengers who were in the machine at the time all escaped with out injury. Two of the passengers were women.
 The wings of the machine were stripped from the rest of the body and were a total wreck as result of their six hours stay in the water during which time the waves pound ed them to pieces Pilot Rogers said this morning that the wings were a total loss and there was small chance that the machine would do any more flying in this vicinity. until after it had been taken to Flushing, Long Island for repairs. The latest reports this morning were that the motor re- mained high and dry above water and it was said that little damage to the motor would result.
 The plane which is known as the Aero Limited No. had made non stop flight from Boston to this city on Saturday afternoon and was mak- ing it's first trip here yesterday afternoon at o'clock when the acci- dent occurred. Pilot Rogers expressed confidence this morning that with a favorable wind and tide that some time today the rescue crew would be able to tow the plane to shore and make preparations to have it shipped bac kto Flushing for repairs.

IS PROF. ACATINC
 YOUNG OYSTERS

West Sayville. N. r.. Sept Pro to ''set out" guaranteed to multiply with proper care into f1ourishing brood, may result from experiments just concluded by w. F. Wells, of the New York Conservation Commis- son. who today reported on his ex- tensive study of oyster breeding.
 MT. We'll, at his laboratory on the shore of the Great South Bay. has succeeded in keeping alive millions of young oysters from the larva to the "set' stage. In his report he said that hatcheries modelled after his plant can be built wherein the oys- ters may be incubated until time to set them out in deep waters.
 His method for developing oyster ''sets'' from oyster seed, or spawn, removes one of the chief obstacles in the commercial propagation of oys- iters, MT. Wells said.
 sThe seeds are so small" he con- tinued, from the time they are laid by the oyster until they are mature enough to attach themselves to a. sur face in sets that experimenters have had the greatest difficulty in devising a. practicable commercial method of keeping the tiny sheIlfsh supplied with a fresh supply of salt water and food without washing them all down the drain.
 "When the oysters reach the set stage, they can safely be put in the beds to fend for themselves. After that time the oyster grows very rap idly for a period of some weeks and gains full maturity within three or four years"
 One of the chief obstacles, that Of handling the larvae, or tiny eggs. while changing their water, the re- port says, was overcome by the use of a centrifugal machine, which con- centrates the eggs in a small recepta- cie. The matching appartus was made of a series of large inverted glass carboys, fitted with tubes which permitted a fresh supply of salt wat CT and air to percolate so gradually that the development of the eggs was not retarded. Microscopic examina- ton is necessary in following the 1 gradual development of the eggs to the ''set' stage.
 MT. Wells declared it is a we'll known fact that in the last 10 years the production of oysters has been very much reduced It was to deter mine the exact cause of this reduc- tion, he said, that his studies were undertaken. It has been suggested, he said, that pollution of the waters has injured many of the most produc- tive beds in Connecticut and in the vicinity of New York:

STREAMS STOP
 RELIEF PARTY
 IN MONTENEGRO

London, Sept. 7.-Charges that the Serbian military forces have stopped British and a Canadian mission from doing relief work in Montenegro are made by Alex Devine of Winehes- ter in a statement he has just issued.
 MT. Devine describes himself as a friend of Montenegro whose 'tonly interest in that country is that it shall have the chance of determining it's own fate-a right that has been de- nied to Montenegrins alone of all the recognized allied nations, owing to the forcible seizure of their country by Serbian troops" MT. Devine de- nies the report that he is a paid agent' of Nicholas, formerly king of Montenegro.
 MT. Deyine alleges that the British relief mission was prev ented from entering Montenegro by -he serhisn military forces acting on orders from Belgrade and under threats of vio- Iepce was compelled to retire to a base in Italy.
 According to Mir. Devine, the Can adian Medical Mission headed by Col onel Burnham which had been oper- ating in Montenegro for some time also has been stopped. He states trat Colonel Burnham has appealed to the British Foreign Secretary for protec-
 
 "the seriousness of the situation here, created by the Serbs admits of no delay and asking that the British government ensure the safety of the mission MT. Devine quotes Colonel Burnham as accusing the Serbians of seizing the boats and material of the mission and of terrorizing his people MT. Devine says:
 s'Colonel Burnham says that he has been threatened with assassina ton and that the mission is spied on to such an extent that even the sick are afraid to come to the hospital for relief The Colonel adds:
 When the veil is lifted from the Ipek country there will be found a condition of affairs which will come as a rude shock to those who have put their confidence and given their help to Serbia. The reign of terror is complete, there are not many Mon tenegrins, and in another year there will be none left. The entire coun- try is mourning and it is no longer possible for these people to exist many have lost their reason and all are in the direst distress. Montene- gro is being done to death"

IMPORTANT PAPERS
 REPORTED MISSING

Vienna, Sept. ,7.-So many import ant records of the last days of the Empire have disappeared from the files that the War Activities Commis- sion has been forced to appeal to of fcers and officials to come forward with verbal testimony or personal papers in order to complete the his- tory of the period.
 It is presumed that these docu- ments were removed at the instance of officials upon whom they reflected unpleasantly or to hide personal guilt The government promises immunity from punishment for any offense which the testimony they seek might disclose so that the complete history of the breakdown, both on the war fronts and internally, may be writ ten.

The grove of MT. Lewis where the picnic was held has long since become popular by the various Stratford organizations and while none have yet returned from the place disappointed after a days out ing none ever left the grounds after having enjoyed a more pleasant time than the gathering of yesterday did Situated as it is on high bluff overlooking the Housatonic river at it's most picturesque part the grove which is surrounded by meadow land stands apart from the rest of the surrounding country because of it's beautiful scenery and it's handsome landscape added much to the enjoy able time which all present enjoyed yestreday.
 Early in the morning the members of both committees which comprised members of Oronoque lodge and Evening Star Rebekah lodge and to whom much credit for the success of the affair is due began preparing for the entertainment of the members of both organizations who by 10 o'clock had gathered in large numbers, ready for the first event of the days pro- gram which was baseabl1 game be- tween the Clam Diggers and Ding Bats. Both teams was made up of members of the local lodge and when the umpire cried play ball the gath ering was on an edge shouting for their favorite team. Up to the fourth inning neither side scored but in the first half of the fifth inning Parifitt who was on the firing line for the Ding Bats broke down under the great excitement and seven ru-3 were scored by the Clam Diggers who found Parafitt's delivery easy during the remainder of the game which
 finished with score of 20 to 2 in favor of the Clam Diggers. Among the features of the game was a home run hit by John Hale of the losing team and a neat double play by Warehouse and Lockery of the win ners. The teams lined up as fol- 1ovr1-
