the part 02 Mr. Bogart.
' October 26. 1914.
Dr. Albert 1:. Austin, Chairman,
Progressive Town Committee,
. Gre€nwich, Conn.
Dear Sir:
I herewith tender my resignation
as a member of the Progressive Town»
Committee of Greenwich same to
take eitect today. i take this action
only alter careful consideration; but
where ‘a principal ls involved 1 am
forced to rally to the support 0! prin-
cipal rather than to the support ot a
few men who want to use the Progres-
Vsive Party to obtain jobs or other
power.
The principal involved. as i see it.
is a duty which We owa to our com-
munity and our country to do our part
in electing capable and efficient men
to otiice. Men who have the intelli-
gence to and who will work for the
good of all mankind.
The progressive voter this year
holds on his shoulders a grave respon‘
aibiiity. He will either show his ps-
triotiem to his country and elect the
best man he can iind regardless of
party, or be will sacrifice patriotism
for party enthusiasm. and defeat geod
government. Feeling as I do. I be-
lieve it is my duty to support Mr. E.
J Hill tor Congress from our district,
and I so. intend to do puwbiicly in
view oi this decision,» 1 do not. think
it would be isir tormy fellow progres~
sives in town to remain on the town
committee.
I want to make it clear that I am
not resigning from the Progressive
see it. For, notwith‘standing the fact
*that you may be the only one in town
.voting a straight progressive ticket
this Fall, 1 pride myself on being the
liret than in Greenwich to show his
progressivetsm waving to the end.
Yours very truly. '

LONI)(.).\'- Oct. 27, 10:30 a. 1n.——'l‘hc battle for the:
mall to Calais was still undecided today.
The territory west of the Yser, the crossing of which}
cost the German army the loss of more men compared
with the area of hostilities than any single engagement
of the war, continues to be the “scene of,»
the deadliest of conflicts, and although it ‘is‘
said that the flow of German reinforcements seems too ,
be without end. they apparently, judging from news Vin 4' 1
London. have made no noteworthy advance since gain- '
ing this river. _,
The left wing of the allies has been rcinforccd, a’ .I‘
fact which may be due in part to efforts to offset the
Constant title of fresh German troops and in part. to ‘
make good the decreased activity of the British fleet,
which, according to German adviccshhas been forced to
withdraw further from the coast line by the effective fits
of the German artillery. No German ships aside from,
submarines have been reported in this Vicinity» but the,
London press is daily devoting more space to such a“
contingency and the tone of all the articles seems to be‘
that the appearance of German warships would be wel— L:
comed as presaging the sea battle for which the Britons
hate so long been hoping. »
Germany has a number of small cruisers at Wile ,
ltelmsltavcn, together with a detachment of destroyers,” ‘ /
and the sudden appearance of some of these ships, per-6,
ltnps, accompanied by a battle cruiser, would be no 811ri 1‘
prise. ”f
Dispatches reaching London av or that Emperor th- ,
liam has demanded unequivocally that Calais be taken,
and a telegram received today quoting the Saxon Ga-
zette give% what purports to be an ambitious plan of
German invasion, once the north coast of France is in I
\their hands. ‘ ‘ -. .
The town of W est Flanders over and through which g. -
the battle for the coast has been waging is in ruins._
The canals are choked with the dead and the countryside
' is scarred as if by an earthquake.
That the Germans have not been alone ' in heavy -
losses is attested bv a dispatch declaring that the Bicli“ "
glans lost ten thousand men when they were driven from
the bank of the Yscr by the invaders. The biggest of
the German guns are now reported to be at Bulges“ _ .
They are apparently vet to be brought into action, 311 f,
some of the most terrible stages 0f the conflict remain
to be decided.
There has been nototable change along the battle"
line in France proper- although the Germans claim’ that
the fate of Verdun will be promptly scaled as soon as
their powerful guns get into action.
From Rheims has come a. dispatch dwelling upon the
indications locally that the Gctmans are preparing t.
hold their positions in that part of the Aisne all winter,
although, of course, this. will depend largely on the result
' of the operations to the north. ' ‘
Most of the claims from the eastern arena of the we ‘
.contlnue to give the upper hand to the Russians, although
the Germans are rallying and seeking to stem the Rue
sian onrush.
It seems to be officially confirmed that Italy has
landed forces in Albania, and that Greeks also are
making their way into this territory. ' '
