Police After AutOists
 with K aulty Brakes

After a layoff of six months during which time they devoted most of their efforts toward keeping reckless driv- CTS off the streets, members of the Plying Squadron" today started a campaign against faulty brakes. Oo- ders were issued by Captain Walker of the Traffic Department this morn ing after which slips were issued to the members of the squad and the campaign is now in full swing.
 As later explained to the press by Captain Walker the campaign is to be more as a preventative of accidents through the medium of having tho brakes repairs before the accidents occur. Autoists who will be picked at random will be stopped and the officers will jump into the cars and test the brakes. If found to be all right a paster will be affixed bearing the words "Brokes OK" Inspected hy officers number) will be put on the windshield.

TO KEEP
 OFF THE SCHOOLS
Hands Off Education" Controversy" Orders Issued to c. o. P. by King.

The Republican party at it's
 convention tonight will not touch
 the school question, the longer
 school day and year and the City
 they wish to cross their leader,
 John T. King, who in letter,
 made public yesterday to Andrew
 M. Cooper of the Republican
 ''The Board of Education seems to me to be beyond our best endeavors inasmuch as the State Statues seem to conflict with what might be good Bridgeport. I have kept away from the Board of Education office politi- cally because I never wanted to see the educational system injected into the political maelStorm." :"
 Out of Politics.
 MT Kings views on this particular subject can be taken as the views of the majority of the Republicans of the city. For several weeks the question of injecting the school question into the mfre of politics by following after a fashion of the Democrats and adopt ing platform with school blanks, has been deliberated among Republicans. Opinion has been decidedly against dragging the schools and it's 3o,O0O school children down to the grade of practical politics.
 It has been learned from a leader in the party that the school reforms which have been made 'issues' by the Democrats will be steered clear of tonight. This same leader who does not wish his name revealed said: I've will let the Dem ocrats take the con- sequences of their platform. We do not intend to go on record condemn ing any of the reforms made by the Board of Education. Unless there is a decided rift in opinion the school question will not be touched at all tonight. MT. Kings letter is evidence of the attitude that our organization has taken toward the Board. of Edu- cation.
 The platform adopted by the Demo- crats condemns the reforms, made after long deliberation by the Board of Education. Its crude attack on the educational system and reforms

Fidelity to One

Adelbert, when a child, was
asked one day by a German
preachey: "Can you tell me

The Prince announced in
German, "Der eagle" The
preacher, Mortified, told the
Empress the little Prince did
not even know his fathers
coat Of arms. In German,

The Empress, Of course,
laughingly explained. The
Kaiser added:
Americans who are the
children or grandchildren Of
Germans should be the mas
ters Of two languages at
least, and should teach two
tongues to their children, for
they are the logical interpre-
ters Of the two great
branches Of a great race
each TO the other.
The Kaiser expressed his
abhorance Of q. divided al
legianoe many times during
my week at Doom. He had
no quarrel with Americans
Of German descent for cast

adoption. He would have

by the unending stream Of
gifts in food and money
which Americans Of German
descent have poured into
Germany since the armi-
stice.
"For q time" he said. "the

can generosity to the activ-

ship with decks cleared for

the Emperor ehueklsd, did
the old yacht travel 20 fast.
"The English, the Kaiser
reiterated, flight you bitter
