 Superintendent of Police Patrick Flanagan, and Prosecuting Attorney E. Earl Garlick communicated with Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robert Stoecke1, in Hartford, this morning, but secured no useful information or instructions from this source. Stoeck- els letter requesting the cooperation of the Bridgeport police department in enforcing the new iitney law, was received by Supt.' Flanagan today, but after talking with the commis- sioner this morning, the police head confessed that he does not know what will be done. Prosecutor Gar lick expressed practically the same opinion, and remarked that the new turn in affairs seemed to be a radical departure from the usual course of proceedings
 As the situation now stands, it seems that the Public Service licenses. expire tonight, but the jitneymen may operate tomorrow without them. Commercial or any sort of licenses will probably be used. The Motor Vehicle department, however, seems to be entirely within its rights in re- voking the licenses, inasmuch as any license can be revoked at any time, provided a refund is made.

 It was at late hour that they finally landed, but it was not until five o'clock this morning that they finally got into communication with their worried families by means of telegrams.
 So far as known, no serious results are looked for as result of the ad- venture. Several of the youns, lady members of the party suffered keenly from exposure Dressed as they were in light summer clothing, they were i'll prepared for the drenching from the rain and the cold, chilly night air of the Sound.
 Early this morning as soon as the failure of the party to return was learned, officials of the Singer Manu- featuring Company started to check up the members of the party. Due to the presence of several who were among the party swho were not em- ployed in the Singer plant, it was a difficult task and had not yet been completed when the party returned at noon-

PARIS, Nov. "a (Associated Press). -,
Thirteen Americans. all of them un-
der a6 years Of age. who had been
serving in the Spanish Foreign Legion
in Morocco, arrived in Paris to-day
telling stories of hardships and cruel
treatment. All of them having seen
action in France, they were unani-
nous in agreeing that fighting the
Germans was "a comparatively mild
pastime compared with campaigning
against the Moors."
The Americans. who were accom-
panied by forty-three British Legion
ers. now that they no longer are on
Spanish territory, told how they OBJ
tanned their release by swearing they
were Canadian subjects. This decep-
ton was possible. they said, because
the Spanish officials kept no record of
those who enlisted in the Foreign
Legion. All British members were al
lowed to resign on November 16, the
Americans reported, as result of a
letter of protest written to Premier
Lloyd George by John Harris. Brit
ish member of the legion.
Capt. w. C. r. MacCartney of Cupar,
Scotland. is credited by the Americans
with having saved their lives by swear
ing before the colonel of the legion that
they were Canadians.
