There is absolutely no cause for

entire structure on the Stratford side

Bridge" stated County Commissioner
Frank E. Ballard this morning.
There have been several reports to-

with State Highway Commissioner
Bennett Immediately. The whole
story is just this.
THE fill under the approach on the
Stratford side of the bridge has settled
little more than it was expected it
would, much as the settling of a new
house may cause plaster to crack. 1t
is nothing serious, and nothing per-

Lives Lost in Late
War, the Admiral Says
Because We Were Not
Prepared.

Newport, R. l., May 2O-Rear
Admiral William S. Sims, Pres
ident Of the Naval War College.
in an address before the grad
uating class of 1922, today
preached a strong sermon for
preparedness.
DepIores Indifference.
He charged the country has ever
been unprepared in time of emer-
gency and deplored the public's in
difference in the matter. Such con-
ditions can only result in lowering of
morale, the admiral said. Many
lives We're lost in the late war, he
charged, because our lighting forces
We're not prepared.
The inevitable consequence has
been, and now is, that once the OBJ
Ject of the war is attained the public
loses interest; forgets the sacrifices
caused by unpreparedness and con-
sents to, OF does not oppose Suoh re-
du ctfons as keep our forces in a con-
dition of continuous unpreparedness,"
said the admiral.
