Protest Loan To
 Great Britain

Telegrams of protest against ex- tension of the $5,0Oo,0 900 loan to
 Great Britain on the ground that the
 money is being used to crush the
 Irish republic. and asking that de-
 mand for payment of the loan at
 once be made in order to provide a
 fund for a bonus for all who served
 In the late war have been pouring in
 on Senators Brandegee and Mclean and Congressman Merritt today as the result of a meeting last night of MacSwiney Council. A. A. R. I. R., at which this action was determined
 upon. It was announced at the meet ing that the one thousand mark had
 been reached in membership and a drive for three thousand members in
 Bridgeport by April I was inaugu- rated. Plans were outlined for the formation of a juvenile auxiliary to
 the council, and the following off,
 cers were elected: President, Jere-
 miah J. Sullivan; vice president, John Toohey; treasurer, simon Crehan; recording secretary, Bernard Dalton; corresponding secretary, Anna Dona- van; financial secretary. James Null
 nancy; trustees, Mrs. Henry Lee, Mrs M. J. Flanagan and MrA John E Layey. Mrs. Simon Crehan was elected chairman of a committee. oi | which she was authorized to choose | the remaining members, to raise | funds for the work of the organiza- 1 ton by entertainments or otherwise.

A STINGY PRACTICE
T HERE WAS geferal interest
 felt in the Naval balloon.sts

" HERE WAS geferal interest
 h felt in the Naval balloon:sts who, while in the performance of their duty. were lost to civilization for more than two weeks. and finally showed up in the far Canadian wilds where they had been driven by storm and from which they are now tramp ing their way back to a point where they can secure transportation home.
 There is always a sense of admir- ation for the men who face such risks and consider it all a part of the days work but feeling very different from admiration is provoked by the knowl- edge that the Navy Department takes no account of the financial losses of men or officers caused by their work Attention is called to this by the fact that Lieut.. Kloor added a post script to his message received Sum- day asking for four hundred dollars with which to defray his expenses home after his narrow escape from death in the Canadian wilds This l money was sent on by friends.
 It is said that there is a Navy Con- | t.ngency Fund which could be used by the Secretary of the Navy for whatever purpose he deemed fit, bu, 1 the fund has never yet been drawr | upon to aid a man in financial distress | as a result of his work A hundred thousand dollars would
 be much better spent in paying tn,
 expenses of the sort incurred by tn, | three balloonists in getting back f,
 civilization than in settling for .
 dazzling inaugural celebration.

DID NEW YORK HAVE
 THEM ALL?

" HE AMERICAN people have gations and so skepticaI of results from them that the announcement of a few more no longer causes a ripple of excitement no matter how glowing the prospectus.
 Now and then there comes along one which really investigates and shows up results. Such a one has been the Lockwood Committees in quiry into the restraints on the build ing industry in New York city. It has brought to light a condition which is a disgrace to American bus mess, and methods of conducting it, which reprehensible as they are, is to be feared are altogether too com mon in a greater or less degree the country over, and it has demonstrat ed the possibilities in an investigation where the investigators really want to investigate.
 In the ten weeks it devoted to the building industry six combinations were dissolved following exposures made by the committee. They were the Cut Stone Contractors, Mason's Supply Bureau, Stone Mason Con- tractors Association, Eastern Soil Pipe Association, Hoisting Associa- tion, and Metal Ceiling Association. Tn addition the Composition Roofers amended their bylaws. In all twen- kxyf hE inv eti ioat = -ed and there are still eighteen more waiting investigation.
 Twenty mine convictions were se- cured and there are one hundred and nine indictments to be tried includ ing besides restraint of trade under the Federal acts such charges as per- jury, coercion. contempt, extortion and the destruction of evidence.
 A nice record is it not?
 It would be some satisfaction if it were possible to feel confident that all such methods in the building En- dustry had been confined to New York city. That they were does not seem probable.
 It is to be feared that the con- nections of New York firms in other parts of the country, their business relations in various sections, an6 above all the force of a successful example, helped to establish the same methods to a greater or less de gree in many towns and cities of the United States.
 It would be well if every communit1 in which building costs are high, ant > suspiciously uniform, would try ant find a Lockwood committee of it own.

DIR. EDDY HAS
 LAST SERVICE

Last evening, Dr. G. Sherwood Eddy held the last of his services in Bridgeport at the union Week of Prayer service held at the First pices ot the Federal Council of Churches. The meeting was led by pr. William Horace Day of the United church, and very near the whole seating capacity of the church was occupied. Rev. Donald s. Mac Queen led the singing, assisted by the other members of the Pastors Guar tet and by the Hungarian Baptist Church Band.
 pr. Eddy is a very powerful and clear speaker, who drives home every point with a pertinent and convincing example. He took his subject "As Eic Custom Was" the phrase which is used so much all through the New habits and actions. Under this sub | ject, Dr. Eddy made three points; first, Jesus custom of reading the 1 Bible: second, His habit of daily prayer; and third, His custom of do- ing the most service which He could to each of His fellow-men.
 In connection with daily Bible reading, and prayer, Dr. Eddy said that these are things which should be done regularly, every day, as part of our lives; and not intermittently whenever we feel that we have time i to spare. They are to be considered 1 a privilege as well as a duty. Dr. Eddy laid that if we believed in the power of prayer, really believed, nc prayer which we make would remain unanswered if the thing for which we
 prayed was needed, and would ben eft us. He gave many marvellous
 accounts of answers to prayer from
 his own experience.
 Dr. Eddy said that during his whole career, while he has been speaking tc people, and trying to lead them tc God, he has had but one real rebuff and the man from whom he received that, afterwards repented and becam, | a person who did more than his shar, in the Kingd dom ~i Sod.
 l pr. Eddy left as his message tn, fact that we are standing at tn,
 portals of the New l ear. He plead
 ed that we should not spoil tnIs Nev ! Year, but should use it as We neve
 had before, and he said that one wa.
 Of improving on it would be to adop
 Jesus habits of life as our own.

minds are not sufficient to compre- hend such vast size.
 Professor Nicholson, generally re- cognized as the foremost authority in the world on the subject of light, has been working on the principles in- vo1ved in the mechanism of this de- vice for a number of years. He is one of the very few scientists to have received the Nobel prize for their researches and has been con sidered for many years Americas $ leading scientist.
 Professor Michelson's discovery opens up new fields for scientific dis covery and furnishes basis for a re- vision of old beliefs and it is evident that in this case, as in so many others, ,that the knowledge will ob- .ige us to enlarge our view of the universe.
 It should be a satisfa ct:on that this great discovery in scientific methods should have come to America and and an American University. It should also tend to make Americans humble when they realize how small a part this world is of the whole show"

A GREAT DISCOVERY

O MUCH attention has been o given to war. and finance, and business, both good and bad. and the high cost of living, and many other things in the last few years that the fact that there was such a thing as science or that men, few, were still toiling to wrest from Nature her great secrets, had been forgotten.
 Now to call mems attention back to such things, comes the announce ment of a most brilliant scientific feat successfully accomplished, which eventually will lead to much greater knowledge of the universe, and whose initial :nstallment of such knowledge knocks all the conceit out of this little old world of ours, by proving that one of the stars. which we scarce condescend to look at, is some thirty billion times as big.
 This knowledge is made available by the perfection of an instrument by Professor Albert Nicholson. of the University of Chicago, with which il is possible to measure the diameter of far away stars which have here tofore only been estimated. There has never before been any means o: direct measurements of the stars anG according to Professor Forrest Moul ton, the. well-known astronomer, "tht principles Of the device are so sount that the figures may be accepted a absolutely accurate
 The method is said to be so ex net that it would detect the widtl of a pin head a thousand miles away The first test of it was made iron the observatory at Mount Wilson i Southern California with the eigh foot reflecting telescope. This frs test was the measuring of the di ameter of Betelguese. the northern most star of the brilliant constellatio Orion, one of the finest spectacles ( the skies and conspicuous on an clear evening in winter.

SAILORS GUN PROVES
 TO BE FALSE ALARM

(Continued from Page One.) states best witnesses today. AS he told of his three visit on the day of the nrIrder to the Mott homei how he searched the house twice and the eel lar once looking for his partner. there was a deathl like stiffness In the court room. Every sentence toiod by Fer guson frightened the states case and laid the foundations for the future prosecution of Ethel Hutch.ns Mott.
 He told how he had been called by the Bopko girls and later by their father, who told him something was wrong at the Mott home. He said that Mrs. Mott steadily persisted in town at s o'clock in the morning and asked Ferguson to keep him down there if he found him, as she vas afraid of hum.
 He said that Mrs. Mott was quite lame and said that she and Mott had had fight.
 All the time taat Ferguson was searching the Mott home the body ! of the dead man was in the house | waiting the hour when Wade should | come as he promised and haul it | away.
 Albert H. Rider, a pharmacist, told how he had received a telephone cal daughter Ruth, who asked if Wad'
 was there. When told that he wa not she left message for him.
 What was that message?" was the states question.
 "As near as recall the wording ot it, shc said to tell Elwood tha | mamma says he must come and dc what he said he would,' as MT. Fer guson had been there looking around"
 Albert E. Booth, a bottle inspector | was on the stand to establish the fac that Wade had told him he had 2 date for Saturday night and would bring the milk bottles early Sunda! morning. He failed to come and ex plained later that he had been tS Walnut Beach and didn't get home in time, delivering the bottles at o'clock, Sunday afternoon.
 Margaret Bopko, d slim -waisteC and excited young blonde, told how she and her sister, Pauline. had spiec on Wade and Mrs Mott for Georg, Nott and gave details of the actions of Wade and Johnston during Sunday , August 29.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is said now that direct telephone communication with Cuba will be es- tabllshed by Spring. When the Ha- vana long-distance operator rings the call will sound in New York This will help to. increase the neighborly feeling between this country and the . little republic to the south of US It will also enable a certain class of tour lsts to order ahead with ease and have certain commodities difficult to secure in this country, waiting them in their rooms
 Chicago has taken a step In the right direction by the order of Police Chief Fitzmorris forhidding motion pictures portraying criminals at work. According to the order no screen
 drama Is to be allowed that shows a crime being committed even though the end of the picture shows the crim- ina1 in prison cell. The order is | based on the theory that many crimes are inspired by the actions of crooks | in the pictures.
 The new Governor of New York | State has taken much of the ioy ont ! of life for State officials by .Ss1,i7, Q
 an order that the State seal must be | painted on all the departmental mo 1 tor vehicles and their use be restrict | ed to the States business If much
 more of this sort of thing goes on
 there will be no object in being a
 public official anyway.
 | Even though the war Is over shock | ing death lists from various causes keep coming every day. Now come. word of the loss of a Spanish steamer l near Villagarcia and the death o1 I two hundred and fourteen persons Whole families are said to have beer
 drowned.
