Warner Lauds Chest Campaign,
 Increases Gift

Derer IT. E.-r.'.f,- 'e-1,u;u~rt manufacturer and official of the Warner Brothers Company, this noon forwarded the following communication to Norman Leeds. chairman of the Community Chest drive, announcing the in- crease of his contribution of $2.OOO to $5.OO0.
 ''I have watched with concern and misgiving the total figures of your Community Chest Drive. It seems to me that many of the Bridgeport people must not com- prehcnd the situation. To those of JUS that have been active in organized charities for years this method of economically and ef- ficiently financing has seemed absolutely essential. The ulti- mate result under this system is efficiency and economy. These societies are asking for no more money than they have been obliged to spend in the past. Un- der this control eventually they will either do with less money from a lack of duplication, un- necessary work, etc, or do more work with the same money. The real vital point for every voter and taxpayer of the City of "ncInef e"pIOyeF or employee. whoever it may be. is to support this scheme by this years subscription to establish it and put it on a sound founda- tion.
 "I cannot question the masuifi- cent work done by your various teams. and congratulate them on what they have accomplished to date. but I also feel that the net results show the situation is still misunderstood, and that a strong appeal should be made to every person and every interest, even to the extent of some sacrifice on their Dart, to give and over-Sive for this first campaign at least for the reasons stated above.
 ''1n my own case, after careful consideration, in view of what various members of my family as well as myself have done and ex- pect to do l made my contribu- ton $2,OOG. Apparently I figured it out wrong and I think a lot of other people have done the same; and in face of this I have recon Sidered the matter and believe it is my duty 10 the whole cause and to the community to go be- yOnd my calculated limit and make my subscription $5,00O."

WENT BACK TO
 WIFE TO SHIRK MILITARY DUTY

Uncle Sam can secure a brand new candidate for the alleged stacker list by putting the following in his scrap Lillian Abroms Olschansky in Aug ust 1915, after being married a few months previously on May '. 1915, in Bridgeport They lived at 196 Mad = ison avenue, in an apartment house owned by the brides father. Occa- ionally Olschansky worked for his father-in-1aw. At other times his main indoor sport seemed to be pinochle, and the battle-ground the No. engine house nearby.
 So he went away, and. he hated children Then came the war and with it he returned from New York, with his mother. and by their combin- ed pleadingS the wife was fooled in to taking him back again. At this time he loved children. Later a son, Ernest was born Then with all nec- essary affidavits filled out to keep him from barking his -shins- on worn out duck board walks in the trenches, he again decamped.
 This time he told his wife that he was going to live with his mother and that her own people could take care of her. Mrs. Belinda Florence Newland, who does cleaning for fami- lies in the apartment told of how she at various times knew him to curse and strike his wife After hearing all this Judge George E.. Hinman decide ed that further witnesses were unnec- essarS and granted a decree on the grounds of intolerable cruelty. Cus- tody of the child was also allowed the mother.

 Of deeper and more far reacning 2 importance than the mere disposal Of the Isalnd of Tap itself is the is sue raised by Secretary Hughes as to whether the League of Nations as a world superior government body. has the right to make decisions af- fecting the rights of a powerful na- tion not a. member of the League without even consulting that nations wishes. Diplomats saw in the Hughes note today a direct challenge to the League and the solution of the Qucs- ton thus raised they believed will have an important bearing on future d decisions made at Geneva

SIMS
 WILL BE GUEST OF THREE CLUBS

Admiral William s. Sims, of the United States Navy, will be the dis tinguished guest of the University, Algonquin and Seaside. clubs in Bridgeport on Friday, April 22. At the instigation of close friends, Ad- miral Sims consented to spend the day in Bridgeport, and an elaborate program is being arranged for his entertainment Plans are already un- der way for a banquet in The Strat- field when the noted naval executive will deliver an address.
 Admiral Sims was one of the most noted figures in the World War. As commander of the North Atlantic fleet, he directed the participation of the United States naval forces.

For the past several months, he has been attached to the Naval College at WashingtoA-.
 Although Admiral Sims has not an the subject of his address he expected to discuss the work of the Navy in foreign waters during the war and the new naval program of the nation.

many months Of careful work which resulted in the arrest of everyone i'm phcated in the series of thefts."
 '"The sta tsTnelI,' concluded Cronan, "is not only unfounded but absurd. and I will go to Detroit to personally refute the insinuation."
 According to the ex-detec1iye chief, Eugene Shanley, who has been son. te11ced to two years in the Federal Denitentiary at Leayenwordh, was the brains Of the auto theft ring, and the local police department was mainly responsible for the breaking up of the gang.
