THERE should be no crocodile tears
shed over the Germans, whose country
IS being invaded by the Allies because
they refuse TO comply with the terms
Of the peace treaty. Germany started
the war deliberately. carried it on
with ferocity and cruelty unparalleled,
and it is only right that, having been
defeated at the cost of so many lives
and after such vast destruction that
she should now pay the penalty of her
crimes. We do not forget the four
years of horror that Germany brought

and are being reduced in every other

 TO SPEAK HERE

There was a time when the word tuberctA osis or consumption struck terror to the stoutest heart and 1t was thought to mean certain dath, after long period of sickness and suffering But now, after years and years of search for a remedy doctors and scientists have found that three sim ple things are necessary to cure the afflicted and they are fresh air, good food and rest, both of body ana rnind- This recipe has been tried and has proved successful in thousands or eases.
 One of the greatest factors in this city working toward the routing of the ed disease is the Employees Tuberculosis Relief Association and the socity has decided to allow the public at large to help in driving away tuberculosis. Knowing that 1ec- lures are of great benefit in the work pr. David R. Lyman of New Haven. who1for r years has been superin- tendeTlt of the Gaylord Sanatorfum and who is an authority on the sub iect has been engaged to speak at the High school Thursday evening, Oct. 27.
 Due to his knowledge regarding this deraded disease, Dr. Lyman served the country during the war overseas and his extensive tuberculo- sis relief work among soldiers, and ex-service men will form part of his lecture.
 All persons interested are invited to attend the meeting There will be no charge far admission and no col lection taken.

BRIDGEPORT
 NOW CUT OUT
 OF BURLESQUE

Amusement lovers whose favorfte form of diversion was burlesque, and who in "the good old days used Ato fight their way in the Park theatre. and +who of late have been congratu- lating themselves because it was now possible to obtain seat in a, peace ures. are due for an awful disap- pointment. Burlesque in Bridgeport is no more. The last time Columbia circuit burIesque was taken out of New Haven it was IA years coming back.
 The first show in Bridgeport this season, Harvest Time,'' was a mis- erable offerings and it hurt business for several weeks. In addition to that PlainfieId and Perth, Amboy, N. l., and Stamford. three necessary one
 night stands ahead of Bridgeport, gave practically no business. There shows better attendance to date than Hartford is giving, the local fran chise has been Transferred to Wor- cester, in order that two days in Hol- give better results the first half of the week.
 And so Bridgeport, a spot the cir cult was mighty glad to have for many years, suffers for poor business elsewhere, and local burlesque fans New Haven to see their fayorte form of theatricalS.
 Commencing next week the Park theatre will so arrange its booking that the entire week will be given over to the showing of high class road
 productions, and New York and Bos- tn companies entour, previous to the Metropolitan openings.
 As a whole the run of burlesque shows this season has not been up to the standard, due to the desertlon to Shubert vaudeville of many Of the
 best comedians, including Clark S. McCuIIough of "Peek-A-Boo"; Jack Conway, of Liberty Girls;" Solly Ward of "Roseland Girls;'' Stone and Pilllard of Social Maids;" Al. K: Hall, of "Bon Tons:" Lew Hilton, of "Girls of U. s. A." and Jimmy Bar ton of world of Pleasure" the lat | ter being featured in the Last Waltz at the Century theatre.

Poe Shrine Not
 House Poet Lived In, But Very Old

Richmond, Va, Oct. 11.-Akhough the old stone house in Main street, not far from the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument on Libby Hill has been acquired by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia An tiouities and will be known as the Edgar Allan Poe shrine, it is con- tended by some that the poet had no connection with the building and that the houses in which Poe lived here all have been destroyed.
 The old stone house is presumed to be the oldest building in the city and is believed to have been constructed in 1885. It was believed by many persons to have been George Wash ington's one time headquarters and has been referred to as such. The structure has been. completely reStor- ed and will be thrown upon to pub lie next month
 In the rear of the house a pergola has been built of brick, stone and beams that came from the old office of the Southern Literary Messenger, which Poe edited. In the yard of the premises will be seen garden designed to perpetuated the idea of Poe's '.Enchanted Garden" the orig inaI of which is supposed to have been at Second and Franklin streets.
